What The Luck!? Chapter 186
Advertisement
"Hehehe you're my ticket to freedom brat. Just stand there and let me take you for a walk." Asher could tell that the fake criminal was a staff member because they still wore the same armbands that the staff wore. It was a nice touch to add to the costume since some of the less observant campers wouldn't be able to notice them. This was even harder for those that were not like Jane or Asher who would have better sight in the dark due to the night vision glasses.
"Yeah, as much as you think you're gonna scare me, you're nit. But I will make things a little tough for you if you try anything." The staff member was slightly thrown off by the clam tone of ASsher's voice.
"Smart mouth you got there, but won't change your fate." The staff member in the prison attire jumped at him and managed to find the tree root in front of Asher.
"As I said, things might be a bit tough for you…" Asher watched the staff member trip and fall face first. "In this situation, I have been told you and all the other staff members dressed like prisoners are my enemies. That doesn't bode well."
Asher had just said this without thinking. He couldn't fully understand why he had just blurted it out but now that he was focusing again he decided to run from the staff member at full speed. He knew that the staff member was just doing their job as part of the training so he shouldn't try and fight against them. Instead it was better to avoid them completely.
The staff member struggled up and attempted to chase after Asher but found that he had run directly toad the nearby tree in his confusion. There was no chance he would be able to pursue Asher in the least.

Having run for som,e time Asher realized that every once in a while he could hear a shout of two from nearby. It seemed that the other campers had started to shout for help or to try and find others. This was the wrong move since it just attracted the fake prisoners to them. Asher also moved top avoid these shouts until he heard a familiar voice yell in surprise. The additional blue flash that went with it was all too telling.
"Louis, I am on the way!" Asher didn't flinch as he rushed towards the direction of the blue flash. Dodging around trees and jumping roots was nothing to him in his efforts to get to his friend. He had been training long enough to gain the bodily awareness he needed to easily move within the forest now.
"Mmmmaaaannnaauummmm." The fake prisoner on the ground was having trouble making sentences and had almost completely lost consciousness.
"Louis, you fried a staff member!" Asher stood over the staff member completely shocked.
"He grabbed me from behind. It scared me and I couldn't stop the lightning that shot out." Louis was mortified. He had at first believed that he had killed the man that had grabbed him.
"Hey, this is a camper. I am going to put something under your head for some rest. Can you respond to me?" Asher started to run through some of the basic first aid he had learned and realized he should get the attention of another staff member.
"Louis, shot a few times and attract another staff member. They can take care of this man. He was zapped a little too much and needs to get to the nurses' cabin. I don't see any real damage but I think he was pushed a little too far." Asher could not see any damage on the skin of the staff members' hands. If there were any electrical burns of strange lines he would have known that there were worse injuries.

"Commmmeee over hheerrreee!!! I am hheeerreeee!" Louis was yelling this over and over until a rustling from the bushes caught their attention.
"Calling me to you is like calling a bear to a free meal." The fake prisoner walked from the bush and punched his fist in his hands before dropping their arms and rushing to the fallen staff members' side. "What happened here?"
The accent was dropped and instead replaced by a professional attitude. "Lighting body meats scary staff member. They will need to be brought back for rest." Asher gave a few more details and then stood up.
"I will assist him back to the camp grounds. Thanks for calling me. I will make note that you two took safety over running." The staff member shooed them away while they checked over the zapped coworker.
"I didn't…" Louis was still afraid he had done major harm but Asher pulled him away.
"Come on man, you drained yourself more or less right? Your shock couldn't have killed him. We also got another staff member right away. So we should focus on the task at hand. Once we are back to camp you can go and apologize in the nurses' cabin." Asher was able to talk away from the stress from Louis.
"He'll be alright?" Louis wanted to hear it before he fully left.
"Yeah kid. He is already looking better. You zapped him like a stun gun. It's our fault for not checking our database before sneaking up." The staff member assured Louis and helped his coworker sit up. The zapped staff member gave a weak thumbs up.
Louis finally started to move away with Asher. He was struggling in the dark but Asher had a tight hold on Louis's sweatshirt. "How can you tell where you are going?"
"Oh, Jane and I grabbed some night vision glasses at the storage area today. They are pretty great." Asher wanted to share them with Louis but realized that he only borrowed one pair. He was also glad he had remembered the small flash bombs that he had also been offered by Jim.
"We need to try and meet up with the others or make out way back to camp. I have a bet that when everyone is back or captured we will get some sort of grade." Asher said this while another sound attracted his attention. He was sure someone else was just on the other side of a tree hiding.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
