《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 142: What Horrors has Daedelus Wrought?

Sid slumped against the wall. His skeletal hand squeezed a piece of cloth that was wrapped around his bicep as his arm hung limp. It looked to be in pretty rough shape, like it had been crushed under a Boulder.
For a brief moment, he seemed to rest against the stainless steel wall.
Sid was in a narrow hallway. There wasn't even enough room for Sid to stretch his arms out fully. There was no ceiling, but an endless black that stretched out from where the steel walls ended.
Ting!
The noise was reminiscent of a hammer striking an anvil. Immediately, Sid pressed forward. He kept his hand gripped firmly on his limp arm as he jogged forward.
Ting!
The sound had gotten closer. Sid increased his speed for a moment, but then seemed to almost stumble. After his feet nearly tripped, he slowed back down to his jog.
Sid looked back. There was nothing behind him. At least, nothing that he could see. Yet, it was clear that with every moment something was getting closer.
Ting!
Ting!
Closer and closer. Every moment the sound grew louder and more ominous.
Sid came to a diverging path. Two left, and one forward. He didn't hesitate as he took the second path to the left.
This was a bad decision, as he ran into a dead end after just a few moments. He turned around and quickly made his way back.
As he emerged, he saw what was chasing him. The exact length of the hallway was what was essentially a giant metal mouth. Instead of teeth it had solid chunks of metal that tinged as they gnashed down towards each other.
Sid paid it no mind and took the other left path.

Silvertongue
After another long day at work, all Jon Christensen wanted was a cheap burger and some peace and quiet. Pulling into an ordinary McDonald’s, Jon only had the usual cares on his mind. His sister. The bills. A career with seemingly nowhere to go. But when a confusing encounter at the cash register triggers a violent episode in the parking lot, he’s quickly pulled into a world he doesn’t understand.

Glass Cannon
Mortal Coil is the best VRMMO in the market with millions of people playing it! In this game, two best friends made a bet with each other. Whoever becomes the #1 ranked would win. Such a simple bet, but to them, it was like a declaration of war. Being two of the most stubborn individuals on the planet that saw loss as a personal offense, they made this last bet before cutting off their friendship due to some... complicated matters(Don't worry It'll get explained in the book). The problem was, that one was super talented at the game, and the other was super shit. This story revolves around that player. No, not the talented one, the shit one. Hated by many for his rather "uncouth" strategies (one of which included hitting a guy in the back of the head with a wooden board, stealing all his stuff and leaving him stark naked in the middle of the woods), his name is Jack. Oh, and did I mention he's a min-Maxed for health which drives people insane? Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he stumbles upon the worst possible hidden class for him. Warrior of Glass. A class with insanely high attack power... and insanely low HP. He's also given a quest to retrieve a sword in the middle of the Ashen Forest (lovingly nicknamed "Suicide Woods" by the players) and another quest to kill 7 insanely powerful demon lords that roam the lands so he can fulfill his predecessor's legacy. Now, armed only with a veeery high damage output, an unbendable will of steel and his almost nonexistent sense of guilt (emphasis on almost), he still aims to become the #1 player. This time, with some serious handicaps.
