《Tome of Stealth [A System Anti-Apocalypse]》Chapter 77 - Constantly on Fire
Advertisement

“Fuck. I can’t say no. Not to you.” I said. And, I meant it. Honestly, this felt like a fucking dream. As Lore, my partner, — no, now I should call him my boyfriend — hugged me, I felt high on good feelings.
And of course —of fucking course— the world would shit on my happiness. I once heard it called, The Fuckening. And boy was it real.
With absolutely no warning, the doors burst open. These high leveled monsters fucking broke the lock we had set!
Lore shoved me. I took several steps away. Then, those fucking assholes stabbed driftwood spears into his perfect back.
“Run!” He choked out just before he collapsed. Then his body started to burn.
Frankly, the only reason I didn’t go insane right then was, that death in this fucked up game was only temporary.
So, I immediately turned invisible and jumped onto the stone bed. After putting my back to the corner, I waited for all of these numskulls to enter.
They were obviously searching for me. But they made a mistake by leaving the hall empty. Empty enough that I could see a spot to teleport to. I did so. And then I ran as fast as I could, staying invisible, for as long as possible. My mana was just enough to turn a corner and dunk into a holding cell with an open door.
I pressed my back to the door side wall and breathed in as slow as I could to hide my presence. And I waited for my mana to fill again. I waited for something to go wrong. For me to be caught.
Shit! Wouldn’t it have been better if we’d died together? We could have ended up at the same respawn point.
But, I trusted Lore, but I couldn’t trust those respawn points. That was where they tainted others.
Fuck! What was I going to do if they infected my bard?
It would be like him barely managing to stop living in a trash truck to get tossed into a dump... one that had hordes of skunks... and was constantly on fire.
I crouched down and rested my head in my hands. What the Fuck was I going to do?

The Fiasco
When you’ve seen as many catastrophes as I have, “disaster” becomes a relative term. Us perpetual kidnap victims get to hang our heads while waiting for the tights-wearing crowd to arrive. I'm extra special. Why? Because my only real power is being kept alive by constantly attracting insane events. That's me. Adam. The wrong guy in the wrong place, every single time. Sit back, grab your drink or drug of choice, and follow along as I hit some of the highlights. We'll start with Ted, a reporter with a scheme of petty revenge. We'll meet Alice, a psychopath with personality problems whose out to make babies or disembowel me. I'm never sure. We'll watch me fail at being a glorified field trip supervisor for a powered collage. There's a whole host of other heroes and villains along the way. At the end of this story about me and those suffering my presence, I'll end the world. Because that's the logical last step. Book 1 – The Fiasco in News (Complete, Cover) Book 2 – The Fiasco in School (Complete) Book 3 – The Fiasco in an Apocalypse (Incomplete, WIP)

Other Tales of En
Welcome to The Other Tales of En, a place where I put short stories that didn't get to be told in the main series. These are scenes and tales of characters I just had to have more of, moments I needed to see, and self-indulgent interactions. I hope you love them as much as I do! Chapters are labelled with initials of the Tale first and have notes for their beginning and end. Any chance of spoilers are listed for each tale below as well as their initials. TABLE OF CONTENTS Tale 1: Taff and Adon (T&A) The tale of when Taff and Adon first met. Slight spoilers for Starchild but not really, let's just say Adon's version of the story in Stormspeaker wasn't *quite* accurate ;) Tale 2: Vai and Echa (V&E) The tale of the meeting everyone tried to prevent. It was bound to happen and this is how it went. Spoilers for Children of the Bear, particularly Fiona's Tale, I recommend reading when you are finished with that series. Tale 3 [IN PROGRESS]: Echa and Tryst (E&T) The tale of how the cowardly pirate and the bitter slave fell in love.

The Hand of Fate
Little by little, the magic disappeared from the Continent, and today no trace of the Magical Sparkle remains in the continentals. Ethan is tired of living on the Tiburon, a merchant ship that travels the waves of the Four Great Seas of the Continent. His innate nature, which from childhood made him immeasurably appreciate the stories of magicians and warlords of ancient times, pushes him to search for greater stability on the mainland, starting from where he could begin to travel to unexplored areas and respond to his irrepressible curiosity. Garatier seems like the right city to start over and just Garatier and the individuals that Ethan will meet there, will allow him to enter the tunnels of an ancient, hidden, forgotten world that yet has always been there. However, the way in which The Hand of Fate moves the threads of destiny is unpredictable and as often happens, not everything will go according to Ethan's plans because, ultimately, no one can oppose Fate.
