Finally, Ubek got rid of the stench left on his barbarian leather clothing caused by the splattered blood from the monstrous Purplish Feathered Snake, Guardian of the Ultimate Door. His muscular tanned body shined perfectly when exposed to the great sun of Planet Realmia. Putting his mighty sword on his back, he waved his long blond braid, toying with his perfect barbarian beard. He looked down from Argus Mountain, searching for The Great Fortress of Mongroth the Great, The Evil Master-Mind that would finally meet his end for terrorizing the World and spreading evil.

Wait, wait wait....Something is missing on that last bit. Now that you've read that last paragraph, please re-read it, but use the mental voice of a really, really cringey and cheesy presenter, maybe from the early 80s, with a deep voice worthy of the most powerful and exuberant warrior ever to exist. Now with that in mind, let's start over. And for the rest of the text, well, use your own mental voice or choose one fitting for an 80's retro action movie—your choice.

In the middle of the Desert Plains of Quartzion, Ubek noticed a big metallic construction of circular shape, several stories high. He didn't bother to calculate the full height (actually, he couldn't do math thaaaaat well; it just looked to him like a really, really big construction).

Ubek would never forgive Mongroth for all the deeds committed in the name of what the evil man maliciously called "Terra-Forming" with the help of his evil magic staff. Mongroth called it "a Technological Artifact to improve Life," but Ubek knew better. That was wicked magic to bring terror and chaos to the peaceful world of Realmia, where he stood as the Warrior Protector of the Land.

He had made a promise to the King of Altaria, father of the kidnapped princess, to rescue her before being sacrificed by Mongroth in the name of so-called Progress—fancy words the evil sorcerer used to mislead, but Ubek was no fool. He had already conquered all the forgotten trials to fulfill the Holy Prophecy that would end the evil reign of The Dark Lords like Mongroth himself. Now, walking through the Sand Lands at the feet of Argus Mountain, he saw the entrance to the treacherous fortress.

The mighty warrior walked firmly with his metal shield by his arm, approaching the entrance to meet The Final Challenge. As he reached the metallic structure, home of the evil, he saw a big entry with a closed door doubling his size. He thought it would be sealed with a powerful binding spell, but no match for the power of Ubek and his mighty sword.

Ubek slowly took out his weapon when a sound coming from the door caught his attention. He took a defensive stance, listening to the weird voice.

"Hello Sir, welcome to the Mongroth 'Sable' Complex," a sweet female voice came out of the speaker next to the security camera pointing at the newcomer.

"This is evil sorcery! A voice with no body only means that I'm in the presence of a ghostly guardian, protector of the entrance," Ubek said, holding his sword firmly and taking a few steps back. "Show yourself, evil creature from the underworld, and battle till death." Ubek growled a little bit.

"Excuse me, Sir? But I'm afraid you are a little bit confused. I'm just a receptionist, so please Sir, how may I help you?" The nice lady addressed Ubek, who was staring at the door, waiting for something wicked from the underworld to appear.

"I shall not listen to your treacherous voice anymore! You'll fight me, or I'll force my way into this evil place," Ubek said as he started charging at the door.

Seconds before Ubek smashed the door, a buzz came out from the other side.

"Uhmm...Sir, I'd better open the door. Please come in." The buzz sounded, and the door quickly opened, letting Ubek pass through it.

A soft musical tune sounded in the background while Ubek entered a wide room with a nice scent of lavender and chamomile. At the end, he saw the guardian of the entrance who needed to be defeated to access the Dark Chamber of Mongroth the Great. He approached firmly, performing some acrobatics with his huge sword, trying to intimidate the monster sitting at a quite luxurious metallic lobby desk.
