《Player of Trials》Infected Dungeon

[DO PLAYER WANT TO GO THE NEXT TRIAL?]
"Yes!" Leon said with an excited voice. After waking up from his 'comfortable' bed, he didn't lose time to try the new changes, and started the next trial. Plus, he wants to get those new skills as soon as possible, and for doing that, he needs gold.
[TRIAL-25 IS NOW STARTING...]
After he gave the command, his surroundings started to change once again. Light trembled, gained shape and color, from its lifeless look, continued until it created a cave. When it was completely finished, Leon found himself in the start place of this enormous cave. No, this is not a cave, the sinister mana that leaks from here, it is coming from something alive, somewhere from the depth of this cave...
Of course, because he wasn't mastered on using mana, Leon didn't feel this sinister mana. Rather than feeling the mana, Leon felt like he was being watched by something. And that was uncomfortable enough to put Leon on alert.
[TO COMPLETE TRIAL-25, PLAYER HAS TO CONQUER THE DUNGEON]
"Dungeon? Now that's a new thing. And explains why I feel like this..." Leon said while looking around.
Seeing no danger around him, while being on alert, Leon started walking deeper into the dungeon. With each step he took, the more he felt being watched. After 2 minutes of walking, not knowing where he was going, just when Leon got sick of waiting to encounter a foe, he heard the grinding sound of bones.
Looking forward, he saw his old friends... Undeads. There were about 50 of them. But they weren't looking normal. Something was wrong with them. Normally they would have glowing green eyes that come from their death mana, but the ones of these undeads were purple. Leon knew all of these from his previous battles against undeads. But now he was against something he didn't know.
['ANALYZE' IS IN USE]
[FOR MORE DETAILS, TRY TO FOCUS ON ENEMY]
When Leon peeked at them behind a rock, panels appeared.

"So this is 'analyze'. Well, at least I will know what my enemy is. But what does 'infected' mean? Some kind of disease? Can undeads even get sick? Are they looking like this because they are infected?" Leon asked himself, wondering what was going on.
'Let's try focusing on one of them,' Leon said when he used the analyze on one of them.

"I don't exactly know what is 'infected', but it seems so it makes them stronger..." Leon murmured while observing them. 'Whatever, they are still too weak to come against me,' Leon thought while getting out from behind the rock.
To attract undead's interest, "Hey bastards! Did you miss me and my sword?!" Leon shouted as he took his position.
*Gahh!*
*Gahh!*
After hearing Leon, all of them started running towards him.
*INHALE*
Taking a one deep breath, "Let's start," Leon said while positioning his sword horizontally. Running with their full speed towards Leon, it didn't take long one of them to reach him.As the first one of them reached Leon, moving swiftly with his sword,
*SLASH*
undead splits two when Leon passes by him to welcome others.
Cutting air with every strike of his sword, and sending one of them to hell, Leon cuts, slashes, disarms with his movements. As if it were a forbidden zone, every enemy who gets near Leon is sent to their death. At that moment, Leon became a machine that only knows killing.
*SLASH*
*STAB*
*SLASH*
*SLASH*
The sound of Leon's sword blows reverberated through the dungeon as bones piled up under his feet. Sometimes some of them got through Leon's defense zone, but this time Leon's powerful fists that crushed their skulls to death welcomed them. As the bone fragments rained down from the air, Leon got wet with them until two of them remained.

Quickly approaching the undead, he stabbed his sword into the undead's skull.
Pulling out his sword from the undead's head as its purple eyes lose their shine, Leon headed to the last one of them.
Pointing the undead with his sword, "Come and join your friends," Leon said with a cold voice.
*Gahh!*
As the last undead came running towards Leon, when the undead got close enough, Leon cut swiftly his both arms and grasped its head with his left hand.
*CRACK*
"Do you see? This is power," Leon said while channeling power into his fingers until crushing his skull.
After looking at the art that he made from bones and skulls for a second, Leon continued on his way.
*STEP*
*STEP*
Leon walked for another 2 minutes to the depths of the dungeon until he met with another foe. It was an undead too, but unlike others, he was 3 meters long and while other undead skeletons carry a rusted sword; he was carrying a mace... And of course; he looks infected.
'Analyze,' Leon commanded when two of them looked at each other.

[INT: 7 (+3)]
"Now, aren't you a big one?" Leon joked while directly looking into the skeleton's eyes.
*Gahh!*
After hitting the ground with his mace, starts running towards Leon as he lets out a silent scream. Knowing he can't beat this one easily like the previous ones, Leon draws his sword and gets ready to clash while getting a second sword in his other hand.
When they get close enough to each other, the skeleton attacks first, and sends its first strike from upward. Knowing trying to block his attack with his swords just only will cause them to break, Leon moves right to dodge undead's mace. As soon as the skeleton's mace meets the ground, it creates an explosion which sends a shock-wave to all directions.
'What an unnecessary move..,' Leon thought while sending some slashes to the undead. Undead tries to defend himself with his mace as soon as he sees Leon strikes him. But Leon, who has higher agility, moves faster than him and attacks his lower parts to immobilize the undead. Leon's sword hits the skeleton's leg but unfortunately can't cut it fully. Seeing his plan failed, Leon tries to retreat by attacking again but undead doesn't give him a chance this time.
"Fuck!" Leon says as the mace of undead hits him and sends Leon to fly.
[-70 HP] [HP: 160/230]
After some somersaults in air, Leon lands crashing to ground.
Getting up again before the undead strikes him, "This the third time!" Leon roared while changing his weapons. But Leon took his lesson this time. Knowing using dual-swords will not help him in this fight, Leon gets back to his old style.
Grasping his sword with his two hands to use all of his power, "How about a second round?" Leon asks.
The two of them started running towards each other. Midway when undead strikes Leon with mace, Leon takes advantage of the height difference, and slides under the mace to cut one of its legs. This time because of using both hands to use much more strength works and he successfully cuts undead's leg. The undead skeleton falls because of imbalance, and that is enough for Leon to kill him.
Not letting him stand up, Leon jumps to the back of the skeleton, "The bigger you are, the worse you fall..." Leon says with an icy voice while stabbing his sword into its head.
Pulling out his sword from its head, Leon gets off the skeleton and continues his way.

Seeing an enormous door made of some unknown material in front of him, "A door?" Leon asked when he reached the end of the dungeon.

Pick a story. Any story. You'll come back out. Just maybe not the same. And possibly in a few more pieces. A collection of standalone short stories. Some will be funny. Some will be disturbing. Most are both. All will be completely ridiculous. Take a look at the story guide first for... well, a guide to the stories.

In a world not that unlike the present exists a fantastic technology to transfer one's consciousness into a game. A new frontier for video games has been opened, and my first experience in this world is an rpg. An escape from monotony and school has led me to experience a brand new world.(I originally lost my motivation for this story and kinda wanted to kill it, but I brought it into this world so I will fix it. I'll probably re-write the first chapters and include a more compelling story. Didn't really write the story for people to read in the first place and after I put it on here I stopped caring, but I am changed!(not too much but just a little))
