《The First Corridor of Old Works》Chapter 107: He'd Chained His Madness to Old Works
Advertisement
“They burst into -”
It was out the back of his nut this vast and insane flux of what flew out of him, making a world in interstices, making a world in dreams, making a world upon the mad connection he shared to space he could never comprehend; now tethered, now chained, to Old Works. He'd chained his madness to Old Works; his flight – his innerness, the thing in him that flew was chained to Old Works. To this planet that was in turn chained to Old Works itself. And if that thing he had in him, that was good, connected to it anyway - that one thing he had in his mind that was real, and true, and worthwhile, and worth anything, long ago; before he even understood what it could be – if he had that thing at all, he had bound it - he'd closed the chains – to Old Works.
But the recompense for tying his talent to that – that – binding, was that in the final nature of his being - that thing that was him, enslaved, it was enslaved - in its bonds enslaved, the same way in the fundaments of its being, in the exact same way that was... Shensh... he understood being. He understood that his being, his being, was.... this place/this place and everything it contained. And the tremendous energy even required to understand the mechanics of his slavery and that it was his being, tied to Old Works, tied to everything/this place contained... tied to Shensh so that -
Nothing.
No longer nothing.
Was this anything?
He understood his being in one instant tied to
Art was -
Was this really the way to do it?
“They burst in flame.”
Shensh.
The sticks burst into flames.
“It's being, Art, they -”

“They're on fire.”
One pathetic flame. Singular.
He felt it, across this understanding, in terms of the being itself of the sticks. Their being. Their being in flames; they were in fire/on fire, not a lot, and it was dying... out, he could see... but -
“- See, you're a sorcerer. You're a dirty – bastard, you wizard. A dirty - wizard. Well done. You're a Sorcerer.”
Pheel was a wizard.
“I'm a wizard.”
“Definitely a wizard, definitely are. But,” he paused, “- You got to talk the whole time?”
“This is the comedy segment of the narrative, Pheel replied.” A pretentious weirdo, he thought, and then fuck it, who cares, they were both replete with weird personal - with complexes.
But he wasn't really thinking about this. Because actually he was - strangely perplexed... strangely disappointed...
This process... really wasn't it at all...

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
