CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
Too late to ask questions but too early for goodnight?

A pretty scary girl, as determined as anyone
It’s clear that she will stop at nothing til her quest is done
Still she manages to think quite quickly on her feet
Probably the nicest Berserker you’ll ever meet

A boy who’s starting to feel out of his depth but goes on
Still, it’s much to early for conclusions to be drawn
Though he’s learning to employ patience along with speed
His abilities are still evolving now indeed
After passing by the messengers in a hurry
Sky had been running with a relentless fury
“Don’t you think that we can slow down now, you’ll get too tired!
When are you going to tell me what had just transpired?”
Leaf was far from out of breath but still was quite confused
When the two scouts asked for the truth she had quickly refused
“Why didn’t you ask for help, they both seemed pretty nice
Couldn’t we have at least asked the old one for advice?”
Sky slowed a little so she could answer her friend
“Father says that help from the king bites you in the end
Sure, there are a lot of nice people serving the king
But if you give them the chance, they would take everything”
“I think I heard my mother says something like that before
She used to work for them but doesn’t like them anymore
Why would they want Twig though, sure he’s weak, but he’s not bad

And if they tried to take him, old Delilah would be mad”
“I wouldn’t want to be there when she met those scouts for sure
But it would be more than a boy like Twig could now endure
What he needs is friends, they way he’s always there for us
Whether the king wants him or not, we’ve no time to fuss”
Achievement: Lesson in Discernment
Your speed will never fail you but at times your judgement will
Learning who to trust means more than knowing how to kill
As you’re quick to learn these lessons, I’ll push you along
Often you must quickly discern what is right and wrong
Leaf felt his mind grow a little clearer right away
Understanding more of what he had just heard Sky say
He realized it may be safer for them on their own
Than to rely on strangers in service of the throne

Still, it’s much to early for conclusions to be drawn
Though he’s learning to employ patience along with speed
His abilities are still evolving now indeed
“You know, the gods sure have been nice and helpful recently
Achievement messages are mostly all I used to see”
Leaf pondered upon all of his god’s recent advice
They’d always been helpful, but they’d never been so nice”
“Father says that it’s a sign that something could be wrong
Normally the gods only help destiny along
If they’re trying to guide us to a specific fate
There must be something quite big which they anticipate”
“What exactly does that mean, is it to do with Twig?
Don’t you have more details, what do you mean something big?”

Sky was growing irritable as Leaf carried on
“Please will you just focus, or will you talk dusk til dawn?!”
She turned around and snapped at him, stopping him in his tracks
“Sorry Sky, I’m not as smart as you, but please relax”
Sky was going to rebuke him further but she stopped
And when she saw a status message screen, her shoulders dropped
Achievement: Growing into your Class
That’s the spirit you should have, your eyes were just in fire
Rage will give you a path to whatever you desire
You may be angelic, but your strength is in your wrath
Better you accept yourself and run toward that path

You may think that this is just a game to me, it’s not
Even though I do enjoy your wild side quite a lot
You’re about to wish you had been born a berserker
It seems the world is about to start moving much quicker
The level up felt like raw power coursing through her veins
No hint of previous level ups’ temporary pains
But when she read the status message she knew right away
And when she turned her eyes upward, it was no longer day

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)

Through the Wormhole
|11X WATTPAD FEATURED| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 5022 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but at the end of the day, Dan must endure all the pain and suffering if he is to return home safely. *** Have you ever wanted to see where life first began? Meet Daniel Matton, a legendary adventurer who ventured to the past, present, and future in a starship known as PPMC, by traveling through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole. Now, did he want to be the star of the PPMC Project? Heck no, but he loved paleontology. However, things never go according to plan, and he experienced things well beyond our imagination: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, man-eating dinosaurs, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all, disaster. He did not sign up for that! What the heck, 5022 Greenville, South Carolina? It may sound like a suicide mission, but it's not. Dan's story is different. It's a chronicle of survival-one worth writing down to share with the world: a tale of love, friendship, horror, and letting go of the past (not to mention escaping all those insane, prehistoric animals who kept trying to turn him into the blue-plate special). Despite this, Dan's love for paleontology did not save him when he died. And all he could ask himself was, "Will I rise?" *** ⭐ Featured on @WattpadTimeTravel || The Clock is Ticking | Action/Adventure.⭐ Featured on @adventure || Space Adventures.⭐ Featured on @YA || Interstellar.⭐ Featured on @BecauseDinosaurs || Original Dino Stories.⭐ Featured on @TeenFiction || Between Worlds.⭐ Featured on @PrehistoricCreatures || They Evolved on Other Planets, Too!
