What The Luck!? Chapter 225
Advertisement
Asher expertly dodged the first one that was shot towards his shoulder. The second bouncy ball stood no chance against him and was easily swatted toward the targets. Unfortunately, it missed the target but still showed off the skillful reflexes he had been growing.
The next two were fired before he could fall back in to his stance again making him dive top slap the second bouncy ball. This time it ended up miraculously on target. The clicking of the barrels as the level went up again made Asher scramble to get back in to his stance and ready. He knew that things were heating up now and he would need to try harder than before.
The next level fired three of the bouncy balls all in the same direction making him hesitate for a moment. He didn't know if this was lucky or not but he managed to spin and slap them, all at once. The resounding three clicks at once drew everyone's attention. This had not happened to any of them and the sound was odd.
"Oh...this won't be good…" Asher had the feeling that something bad was about to happen when the barrels started to click over and over.
"Did I just hear six clicks? Is he somehow on level six already?" Jane was the first to be able to count the clicks of the barrels and realize that Asher had somehow jumped three levels with the last attack.
"Should we start setting up the funeral for Asher now or later?" Art already knew they were about to witness the end of their friend since no one had gotten to such a tough level yet.
"Is there an off button?" Asher's final plea was met by the game firing two bouncy balls in succession three times. The fact that two of them were aimed at him and the other sets were to opposite sides made it appear that the game was out for his life wherever he had been standing.

The thwack of them hitting Asher in the ribs was enough to make everyone wince in pain. They knew that there would be some impressive bruises there but also knew that Asher had just topped all of their scores.
"I am going again. I want to try and get to level five at least." Louis jumped back up and the rotation continued.
The group continued this way for another two hours before they had all gained their own matching bruises and studied the majority of the flash cards the apps had generated. "I think it is time to head out to rest. I am so done with this evil game!" Sammy had been given four hard shots in the past game and was not the happiest to feel the bruises forming on her arm and shoulder.
"I agree. We have some strength training and moves top practice before we commit to sleeping." Asher was still dead set on their harsh training plan. He knew that their time at camp was coming to an end and he needed to make the best of the final days.
The same staff member had watched them for a little while they practiced in the game and was surprised to see them leaving so many hours later. She had not expected the campers to be so dedicated to training in such a way and made sure that she left a note that the game might deserve its own area for training purposes.
With the group splitting up Jane, Asher, and Art made their way toward the luxury cabin where they had a night of harsh muscle training ahead. They had set themselves up for this and were not going to miss the chance they were given. This was the start of their grand improvement to move forward.

"So, how do we want to do this? Do we eat the vitamin packs then rotate through training? Should we still do our super power training?" Art was the one confused about how the circuit they normally did would work now. They could be wasting time if they sat and focused on their super powers since they wouldn't be training their bodies.
"I think the only one that should work pon their super powers whole we train is you. Your power puts stress on your mind so it could be good to push yourself to the limit again." Jane had this more or less figured out. "Asher and I will add on more studying and strength training."
"I am fine with that. But we need to try and make sure we rest well in between. If we go too far we will still harm ourselves. The vitamin packs can't fix everything. I also want to try and get a bunch of them with pour points before we leave. They will be perfect for future hard training days.'
"That is a good idea. We should use all our points on them to take home. I can't just go to the average grocery store and buy them." If Art had the ability to access his familys' fortune then he would not hesitate to purchase a lifetime supply for him and his friends. However, he knew that he shouldn't abuse money like that even if he did have the access.
"Exactly, so late tonight we should hit the camp store and grab them. After that, we only have one thing left to look forward to." Jane looked at Asher and Art. "The family day should be happening tomorrow, right"
"Oh. yeah. We should be able to see what Cara remembers from her time here. By the way, who do you think will come to see you jane?' Asher had been wondering who from Jane's family would visit her while she was at camp. Art and Asher had already explained theirs but didn't have Jane speak too much about it. They were both wondering who they would end up meeting.
"That's not really a big deal. We can worry about that tomorrow. Let's just get training." Jane forced them in to their training without even answering. This made them wonder just why she would be this worried about it.

The Deathseeker [Under Revision]
NOTE: This story has dark elements, but it's neither grimdark nor particularly edgy. It's also currently being revised. Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.” With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster. Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details. What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though. Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000 Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST I also write A King in the Clouds

In Pursuit of Bark's Finest
On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted. Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous. Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest. And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty. This is her story. This story is entirely pre-written, and will have one chapter released per week. If you want to read it all ahead of schedule and get access to some premium-exclusive bonus content, the entire book is available for purchase; links to the appropriate storefront pages will be posted at the end of each chapter. This story is also being posted to Scribblehub.
