The lights became evidently brighter, and Pepper stared at the room that unfolded before her. It seemed she had fallen into the rabbit hole—she hit the mother load! Surrounding her were materials, jewels, coins, gold… sheer beauty! Sitting in the center of the room was a throne, covered in red cloth. She decided it was best not to touch that, and she approached the gold. Pepper extended her hand toward the treasure…

The world seemed to shatter around Pepper as she was rammed into by a wild ox. It broke through the coins, shattering them like glass. She panted and jumped back after being slammed into the wall by the impact. The ox puffed through its nose, glaring at her wildly. She was shaking a little now, and she readied her dagger.

Pepper's eyes widened, and she stumbled to the side as the ox charged at her. Its horns rammed into the wall, and there was the thickening sound of cracking stone. She watched in horror as rocks tumbled from the cieling, and she covered her face. As the rocks fell, they landed in front of the entrance. She would have to finish fighting this dumb ox.

With a clang, Pepper ran along the ox's side and dealt a chunk of damage to the monster. As she did that, it turned and stabbed her in the hip. Had there been pain in this world, she would've cringed and started bleeding. Thankfully, it seemed that Oske was one of the only ones in this world that could feel pain. Well, maybe she shouldn't be so thankful about that. She thought fondly of Oske.

In her moment of distraction, the ox charged again. She dodged to the left of the ox, then ran her dagger along its side, drawing a red line. The ox grunted and let out a roar of rage, turning to face her. Pepper swallowed, backing up a little. No. I can't be scared, she thought to herself. The two circled each other, eyeing their opponent for potential weak spots.

The two charged at each other. The Hellfire Ox landed a nasty hit on Pepper's hip, and Pepper landed a nasty hit on its ear. She smirked as its ear slowly tore free and shattered, leaving only a red mark in its place. The ox grunted and roared with anger, and Pepper jumped back to prepare for another hit.

With another hit dealt by both of the opponents, Pepper watched as the health bar on the beast fell past the yellow zone. If she landed just two more hits, he'd be dead. However, Pepper wasn't looking too hot herself. She was low on health. If she reached 3 HP, she would have to drink her only potion. She wasn't ready to die... and she probably never would be! Pepper swallowed, readying her stance.

The ox ran at Pepper, but she dodged as if she were fighting a bull and she had been using her cape as a red flag or whatever the heck they used. Pepper didn't really care. The Hellfire Ox was clearly furious with her, and wanted nothing more than to kill her. She felt the same way, and she certainly didn't want this thing as a pet.

With a furious roar, the Hellfire Ox charged forward faster than ever, slamming into Pepper and sending her flying. She felt something hot along her leg, and it slowly spread to her entire body. Luckily, there was no pain, but she could see little flashes of red as her health went down to five points. Using this turn to avoid death rather than fight, she whipped out a potion and glugged it down. She was in a little better shape now.

Pepper froze. She had to try to do something… right? She grabbed the meat from her inventory and waved it in front of the ox’s face… then realized what an idiot she was. The meat was Ox-meat, which just made it angrier. The mob stabbed her in the side, and in return she landed a critical hit on the stupid jerk face.

Panting heavily, Pepper ran at the ox. It grunted, smoke pouring out of its nose. As it opened its mouth to roar and charge, Pepper slashed her dagger through its thick throat. Even though she couldn't decapitate it, she managed to deal the last necessary damage to kill it. The ox shattered, and she collapsed on the ground. Pepper needed to stay away from mobs to heal.

Pepper exhaled loudly, leaning with her back against the ground. It was clear that the treasure in this room were a trap, so she knew better than to touch them. Her mind was weak and head spinning, thinking about everything that had passed her by. She might die in this. She could die. The thought of it… terrified her. She wondered if her father was doing okay in the real world—he had been left all alone, when his wife and Pepper’s mother died. Pepper knew the agony of losing a mother, but she couldn’t imagine the agony of losing someone you loved romantically. Did Oske have someone romantic? She didn’t know. Maybe she’d ask her later, if she ever got the chance or even got out alive.

Sitting up slowly, Pepper looked around. The room was dimly lit, and she could see materials ahead of her, but nothing too fancy. She wasn’t in the mood to pick them up, either. Was Oske worried about her right now? Was she even thinking about little Pepper? Pepper sighed at the thought, hoping that Oske wouldn’t mind too much if she died. Her chest felt like it was closing, and she felt the terror again… the fear of dying. She was so young, and despite what she thought about the world, she had a long life ahead of her… hopefully.

Pepper lifted her head. Her health was rising, and her relaxing on the ground was helping. She rose to her shaky feet and looked at the throne. What would happen if she touched it? Would another monster spawn? She drew her weapon and reached forward, gently tapping the cloth with the tip of her finger and wincing to prepare for a hit. However, nothing happened. Pepper squinted, then jumped into the throne and seated herself comfortably. That's when it happened. 

 

Pepper: 10/15

The throne shot backwards, and Pepper screamed in surprise. She gripped the edges of the seat tight, squeezing her eyes shut and holding herself to the throne. The room changed around her as she flew through a tunnel, and when she finally stopped... she was in a cave again. It was dim, but not hard to see. Lava was below her, and she was now on a obsidian pathway that was suspended by air. Shakily, she rose to her feet again.
