Master Of None Chapter 17

The hatchling was slowly backing away, its small black scales could be seen as semi transparent almost like crystal. Small white horns protruded from its shovel shaped head. Tiny pointed teeth could be seen as it hissed and growled. The length from head to tail only was enough to reach Walker's waist but he knew that its sharp claws could still shred his flesh. However, as the hatchling stepped back a few scratches were seen on its side dripping red blood.
" How can that be the child? It's ready to kill us if we even step forward." Gill said exasperated
" my system said it was hurt and fearful let me try something. Light heal". Walker quickly cast his only healing skill in hope that it would work.
' light heal- target black crystal flame dragon hatchling- 15hp recovered'
The hatching was startled and jumped up moving even farther back. But now knowing he could heal the hatchling walker quickly cast light heal again to finish
'The child has been healed, the fear has subsided.'
The hatchling was definitely more calm and wasn't hissing or growling as much as it had before. " Alright, I'm going to try and get closer. We still need to get it out of here away from those adventurers. I think I understand what it means by "sell" and "slavery" in the quest. Wouldn't those adventures try and sell a high ranking pet to a tamer to use as their pet? Aren't most pets raised from eggs? But this hatchling is already born so it would be forced to follow a tamer. It's not right." Walker had finally collected the puzzle pieces and found the reason for the quest to be generated. He knew that he would not want this for any of his family and completely understood the fallen mother's feelings.

" you've got a point but we still don't know how to get it to follow us. All we have to do is get it away from here right? I'm sure it won't let us carry it." Gil was right carrying the hatchling would just lead to injury since it didn't trust humans.
Walker quickly remembered his inventory and in a grey flash, a newt appeared in his hand. The hatchlings' eyes immediately focused on it following even a slight movement of the newt. Walker and Gill smiled at each other having the same thought.
Walker began tossing a newt at the hatchling who jumped for it and greedily ate until not even a crumb was left. "Alright here's the plan we will lead it out of the forest as far from the adventurers as possible. Quickly take a look around the cave while I start to move, you might be able to find some useful things for crafting." Walker said glancing at the shed scales nearby while tossing him his backpack which had a little room in it still.
While backing out the cave walker held another newt in his hand he shook slightly which made the hatchling begin to step forward. As he moved outside and toward where Remey and Su waited the hatchling began to quicken its pace wanting more food.
After about ten minutes of this process, the hatchling appeared annoyed not getting the newt so Walker tossed it to the newt as a reward causing the hatchling to again become motivated to follow even farther. After another ten or so minutes Gil came in to sight, finally catching up. "I grabbed quite a bit for you to store but I think you should just store the whole bag first so we can sort it all when we get away from here". Gil definitely had over packed the backpack which appeared to be ready to burst. Walker quickly touched it "store!" The backpack disappeared.

"Let's keep moving, we are almost out of here." Walker mentioned while staking more steps back. Gil kept his bow up ready to intercept anything dangerous that approached as they backed out of the forest and in to the rocky fields once again. Loud footsteps of Su and Remey approached but came to a skidding halt.
"I guess you're wondering what happened." Gil and walker said in unison

8 91Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

8 175Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
