《Wholly Undead》Chapter 229: I GOT TO GO!
Advertisement
Mark nearing the completion of his formation, as he finally decided to unveil the most sought after possession among these lands...
"Cover your eyes, please," Mark spoke. Janet heard his words and brought her hand up to cover her eyes, as she peeked through her fingers out of curiosity.
He stepped to the head of the formation, and with both hands he snatched the blanketed tarps covering the Sun Skull, as light poured into the Underground field, nearly blinding the curious abandoned princess.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! This will do! This will most certainly do!" Mark clapped his hands together, as he turned background to help Janet out of her wheelchair and into the proper place.

"Warden Metalhearts, what kind of creatures am I to expect?" Jack asked the jail quarter Warden, at the entrance leading within the hollowed cells.
"This... God-King have you seen the flaming leviathan or read of it in the Brimstone Ocean?"
"With the tentacles?"
"Yeah... They're like that in the face."
"I see..." Jack spoke with a solemn voice, [Sounds like the things I seen Yoggi's blood make.] Jack thought to himself, as he heard a 'Heh' sound from above him.
[Yoggi, what did you send me?] Jack looked up to ask but was met with silence.
The warden didn't disturb the God-King, as she thought he was thinking of a solution.
Jack looked back down to this stout warden as he spoke, "Well enou- Huh?"
He stood up to his full height from his bent-over position talking to the warden to look in a certain direction.
[This... hmmm... Wait, this should be it.] Jack thought that he felt a flux in the light.
[Right! RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT! FINALLY FUCKER! FINALLY FOUND YOU!] Jack exclaimed to himself.

"Raincheck, warden! I have something to deal with." Jack turned and flew back to his palace at top speed, as flashes of light surrounded and followed him, no doubt the Holy Sentinels.
"WHAT'S A RAIN CHECK!!!! GOD-KING!!! DON'T LEEEEEAA-" The warden's voice echoed behind Jack be it was long lost in the winds as his distance increased from her, and the Holy Arched Doorway to his Throne and Courtroom approached.
Jack busted open the colossal doors, as he continued to fly within the courtroom, as he touched down to open the door to his dressing room.
Lucius opened the door, just as Jack was intending for it to open, and the two collided.
"Oh! God-King? Oh? Already done with the jails? As expected, I wanted to as-"
"Out of the way, Lucius!" Jack pushed Lucius to the side with a rather heavy hand, as Lucius toppled on to his tail bone.
"Ouch! What the h-" Lucius word was left behind, as a Holy Senetiel was spotted helping him up.
Jack floated into the start of the twisting hallways, "Oh, you must be the God-King, I am princess Vi-"
"I don't have time for you, tart, out of the way!" Jack flew around her in the wide hall, leaving behind a stunned Jakahn princess. Two Holy Senetiels flanked her and pointed their hand silently to the direction she came from...
Jack flew with greater speeds through the halls as they serpentined, until he collided with yet another undead, "God-King! Much has been discovered with the new Glowst-"
"PISS OUT THE WAY, DOCTOR!" Jack mowed over Doctor Hollowell, who cackled in his wake.
[BLOODY HELL! I see no one for weeks, and then all these fuckers come out of the bone works!] Jack thought grimly as he approached his Library turned lab.

"Oh? Witchy??? Been a while, Just got some new du-" Crag called out, as Jack left him spinning as he passed, "LATER CRAG! I'LL VISIT LATER!"
Outside the doors of Jack's Library stood a very bored Vampire princess.
"Oh, I'm sooooo glad you're here... I've been bored sick for-"
"I give a fuck less... Matter of fact come with me!" Jack hooked his arm around her middle, and drag her into his library. It was good that he had modified his doorway prior to being taken to Carcosa...
"EEP!" Eris' voice echoed in the hallways, as the Holy Sentinels appeared and guarded the library's entrance.
Within Jack put down Eris much more easily than he just scooped her up with five seconds prior, as he spoke, "This is my library lab area place thing... I work here. Read some of the books, they have a lot of knowledge. Don't touch the living tome on the desk there... He's an asshole, careful of the slimes and monsters... The slimes eat whatever they can get near them, and I'm not sure about the other things yet. If you see anything strange, close your eyes for a full minute and then blink seven times. That should get rid of it... Don't listen to any of the words anything in here says unless it's me... Nothing sounds like me in here, yet. Don't touch the tome that looks like meat... Just... Get a random book and enjoy it if you're bored... I'll be right back."
Jack rattled off, and then climbed his golden throne and seated himself, as his body slumped to the side, and the flames in his eyes died.
"..." Eris stared wide-eyed at her god as he just appeared to have casually died.
After staring at her god for a few minutes, and watching as a golden hue released from his throne, she determined that he had not died, but... Perhaps he was meditating? She wasn't sure.
She stood up and inspected the hazy room. She wondered over to the table that held the usual living tome that Jack carried around. It was closed, and being told not to touch it, she decided it was for a reason. Of course, the wiggling bits in the jars and glass containers caught her attention, as she moved over to see them.
She watched for a while, as these imp-like creatures attempted to escape, became jovial, played, and then attempted to escape again. One such imp-like creature seemed to notice Eris, as he waved, before being tackled by another imp before a pile of them began to play-fight each other.
Eris shook her head, [What has my god been doing??? Is he trying to create life???]
After a while, her attention went to the pile of meat that Jack had mentioned. Curious as she was, she went over to the podium that contained this abomination, until she was five steps from it, as she exclaimed...
"THE HISTORIA MORTIS!?!?"

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
