《Last Grace: The Apex of Another World》Chapter 16 - A Victor's Spoils
Advertisement
Lucifer punched the air with his fist - he was alive. The sunlight stroked his face, embellishing Lucifer's tired, heavy like lead body with light. Was he not seeing things, or was he?
He patted down his body to make sure that was the truth. He traced a scar that was located on the upper part of his torso. That's proof - all that he needs.
If he had been poisoned one more time, if he had, or been stabbed anywhere else he could've easily died. He was almost taken away by the reaper. He thanked lady luck that it was not worse.
He was only feeling thankful. That was too close.
A feeling of relief washed over him, he had won!
Now he could reap the spoils of giving it his all. For taking the first step towards the Apex.
He opened up his status menu, his breathing was not slow - it was expectant.

More than satisfied with what he had gained Lucifer stumbled to his feet. He couldn't waste good daggers… or his time. Who knows what else might be lurking out there and if someone would beat a dungeon before him.

He found all ten daggers, when he was done with the house he should check out the contribution store…
Even if he only had 50 points left.
Lucifer had to hurry back so he could finish his house. Following his memories, Lucifer made it back and found the unfinished shelter right where he had left it. It took a while to get there, though he did it all the same. Not even a pebble was out of place when he arrived, so he could continue where he had left off.
He needed to start the walls - his progress was too slow. He had to locate mud, he had to locate a source of water and he had to pack it together. It made the fight with the queen look easy.
How he wished to go back to that fight, it - with its high stakes, but thrill it gave him it beat the work he was doing now by a mile - and counting.
An hour passed, he finished half a wall - you see the house wasn't very big, and the roof would take even longer.
In around ten days - if Lucifer worked hard, the house would be completed,
Taking his mind off things for a bit could do Lucifer some good - just by not stressing over the details, he could settle into his new life.
The new life that still he couldn't believe using the tome gave him, that the system gave Lucifer - a demon.
Good things can sometimes come from the crazy.
And he was crazy about this system - reaching the apex, setting his own limits that's why he would never give up.
That brush with death was a wakeup call, telling Lucifer to get stronger - now or he shall fall behind.
Lucifer was a master at falling, but not at falling behind.

Beyond Floating
Muse thought her life had ended twenty years ago because, well, it had. Existing aimlessly for two decades as a ghost, she finds herself yanked along in a rip-tide of strange events. Thrust unwittingly into the midst of a group of paranormal hitmen-for-hire led by a man named Isaac. Michael, a normally rational and righteous holy soldier of God, succumbs to revenge and hatred, sacrificing everything in the fight to destroy Isaac and everyone who associates with him. Muse, by virtue of her inadvertent association with Isaac, is on that list. This is actually my first 'finished' fiction that I've ever written, which I completed about 8 years ago. I dug it up recently and I'm posting it as I thought people here might get a kick out of it. So, take that for what you will. Chapters will be released daily at 6:00pm EST.
8 101The Wise Old Dragon
What happens when a boy, raised on old stories, meets a dragon who is dreaming of his younger days? I will tell you, they spend their time doing chores around the farm and running away to far off lakes. That is until the boy is no longer a boy and the dragon is, well, he is still an old dragon. More importantly, what happens when a young man and his wise old dragon lose their small farm tragically? When the young man’s grief is not met with loving words from his mother or stern words from his father. And when the fires of burning buildings drive the old dragon to remember times that should be forgotten. What will they do? Maybe they will run off into the mountains hiding from all that would do them harm. Or maybe, just maybe, they will enter a world that has not seen such a pairing in a very long time. Join our story as we try to have the patience required for old bones to move and young minds to learn as disaster and adventure appear hand in hand. Friends will be made as well as enemies, battles will be won and lost, and some legends will be proven to be true. A truth that should scare all of Elleton.
8 234Fort Administrator
Dear Sir, You are invited to be considered for the position of civil administrator at the distant frontier outpost of Fort Amalveor. You may have heard rumours about this region. While it is indeed beyond the borders of the Polity, I can reassure you that it is a very calm and ordered land, sparsely inhabited, and largely untroubled. Should you decide to pursue this opportunity, please write back with the utmost urgency! The position has already been vacant for some time, and a talented administrator is needed with haste. Yours faithfully, Jessaire Sev-ConteneSenior ClerkNorth Hill Waypost Sebastian Lewis has been offered an administrative position at a minor outpost in a relatively obscure frontier territory. It isn't a position he's particularly well qualified for, but it's also not something he can bring himself to pass up. Packing his spare clothes, his outdoor boots, and of course his stationery set, he begins his journey into the unknown. This is a fantasy story with mysery and horror elements, following a protagonist with no special powers.
