What The Luck!? Chapter 107

Ashe felt his foot touch down on the opposite side of the rope ladder, He had run across the entire half football field distance and kept his balance without falling at all. "That was pretty awesome.' He was praising himself while looking back at the swinging rope ladder. If he had hesitated more he would still be on the other side trying to get across.
"I can't believe you actually took my advice. That was pretty smooth." Laura popped up next to him nodding her head. She was very impressed by the fact that Asher was able to use her technique without flinching. He also did it slower and seemingly with more skill.
"I kind of just said, why not, and went for it. Worst case I was falling the mud right?" His thoughts were pretty simple but they had easily succeeded.
"Next one coming over!" Dia yelled from the other side of the rope ladder to let the two who had decided to stand right by the opposite end to move. Jackson was preparing to head over to the other side. However, he had thrown the idea of running across right out the window. To him, that was the craziest idea anodyne could have.
"You got this Jackson!" Laura gave an encouraging shout while watching Jackson take the first wooden rung in his hand. He was tentative in his grasp since the rope ladder was swinging even more with his larger weight on it. This was the downside of having a super power like his.
"Slow and steady wins the race!" Asher tried his best to encourage Jackson as well, but it looked like his shout had just distracted him more since the rope ladder started to swing a little more.
"Think he will make it? The rope ladder is already bouncing so much. What happens when he gets to the center? Pfft he'll make it, I'm being too worried." Asher's question was enough to make anyone cringe. This was a definite jinx.

Almost instantly Jackson was starting to swing from side t side with every movement. Instead of climbing straight with the ladder, it looked like he was swinging instead. His position from the top of the ladder looking more precarious ever rung he moved.
"Ohh this looks bad." Laura's insight came from the fact that she could see the treetops moving with a gust of wind. She knew that the swinging rope ladder would just get worse even with the softest wind.
"Dang it!" Jacksons shut of frustration when the wind hit him could have made anyone swear out loud, but he heald it like a pro. Unfortunately, his holding back on his language didn't seem to help here.
The rope ladder was pushed off enough to make him swing full circle. His right side up position had completely switched and Jackson was hanging from the wooden rungs only half way through the rope ladder. He was fighting the power of gravity as he avoided falling in the mud.
Thanks to his super power he had the best possible human reflexes. He was able to grip the rungs when he felt the change in the wind but was not having trouble keeping himself up. He had the proper strength but it was not normal for him to exert this kind of effort. The very fact that he was not used to it would be the reason for his down fall.
He reached out for the next rung and found that his feet were not hooked on the previous spot any longer. He had moved too fast and let go of his feet while also only having one hand firmly on a wooden rung. The sharp intake of breath was all the onlookers saw as Jackson clung to the rung with his one hand.

Pulling upwards while hanging about Jackson slowly grasped the next rung. He was holding on like this was a set of swinging monkey bars. 'Finally, someone who is doing the obstacle like I meant it to be done. Balance and strength.' Dia was pleased to see that someone had started the obstacles she had built it.
The mud as a deterrence, Jackson continued on swaying side to side while also moving forward. He could feel the train on his arms as he reached the opposite end. "Ha! Take that mud!" Jackson hopped on to the ground in victory.
"That was pretty close. I thought when you flipped over you were done for. But the monkey bar move was great." Asher could only praise the quick thinking Jackson had had.
"Don't worry, you gen get more revenge on the mud. There is another pit later in the course." Laura had only wanted to share with them that their victory over mud pits could be expanded. Yet when she said this she was met with two pained expressions.
"Well, let's just get up that climbing wall and over." Asher was a little deflated but he knew he would have an advantage over the wall since he had not used his arms in the last obstacle. This was the reason for taking such a risky gamble before.
The rock wall that was in front of them was nothing compared to the cliff. It was more like a small obstacle than anything. The two massive trees that anchored the wall on both sides seemed like they had grown together in to the wall. It was a beautiful natural challenge.
Dia had moved with the three walking her own obstacle free path for instructor use. "The wall is the easy part. Just make sure the grip you have is firm." Her smile was too sincere. She was definitely hinting at something nefarious.
"Well, no point in waiting." Asher grabbed the very first hand hold and started to pull himself up. His hand retracted with the wooden hand hold in his hand still. Luckily he was on the ground still so this just made him take a step back. His eyes moved to Dia who was smiling at him. She was not letting any secrets out, but he was sure that this was the intended effect.

Our MC's original world, Blue planet (similar to Earth), went through an apocalypse period for ten years and has been pulled through this universe by mysterious force as one of the human race worlds. Unfortunately, the human race is one of the weakest and most feeble races of all Gondola races. However, their sheer number and several allies have helped them escape extinction so far. Regrettably, even though there are many ants, given a sufficient amount of time, the elephant will eventually be able to destroy them all. After 50 years of pointless struggle, almost all of the last remaining humans have been hunted down by some of the strongest undead races of the Gondola, the Skeletons, the Vampires, the Werewolves, and the Demons. The few remaining humans have been found and eradicated. Our MC, Chen Murong, a member of the last humanity group, can escape the hunt from undead races for fifty years. He finally dies under the claw of Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race. However, he activates one of his time magic spells with his most precious space gemstone at the moment of his last breath. Through the spell, he wakes up alive, back in his home world, and returns to the year before the apocalypse period began.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021.
