Chapter 5: The First Boss
Where we last left our nameless adventurer (who's name is Adol Christensen) he was looking for a silver bell for a town chief he didn't know and yet trusted him, and for a book of Ys he was hoping to use to get himself laid (for lack of any other reason), and he used a key to make a statue glow that, when touched, teleported him.

Yes. He hits hard. That was two hits from the fire. So what do I do?
Come back 5 levels higher.
Yeah. That's what I thought. And bosses refill health once they are dead.
Now to go through that door.
Whoa. Color change. Music change, too.

Unless they hit me oh god I'm getting the fuck out of here.
Yeah. HP regens here, but holy shit it might be time for an armor upgrade. Ow.
