《RWO - Dreams of another world》29 - Drawing a line in the sand
Advertisement
I'm in a very large room. I'm standing behind a few people. We're lined up for something. The room is filled with gray walls as far as I can see. I can barely make out the back wall of the room.
Hmm, I'm a catgirl again. Curious. I've seen a room like this before. When was it?
Someone in the front of the line walks off into the maze of walls. The line moves up. I'm holding something. A piece of paper with writing.
Number 161.
I vaguely remember that I was doing something else just a short while ago.
What was I doing? It sure seemed important.
The line moves up. Three people are ahead of me. They're staring at their papers. And their numbers. I don't have papers. Now I can see a white line on the floor. The first person in line is standing right behind it. Past the line is a person sitting behind a desk. I'm not sure what it's made of. Painted metal?
I feel strange. Disconnected. I can feel the paper with the number in my hand/paw. My body doesn't quite feel like Zach's did in RWO. Where's Zach? Wasn't he here a minute ago?
The line moves up. Two more in front of me. The man behind the desk is wearing a black suit. I've seen someone like that before. Do I know him?
One more person in front of me. The person before her walked up to the desk and talked to the man in the black suit. The man in the black suit is wearing reflective glasses. I'm scared.
The lady walks up to the desk and then heads off into the gray maze.
"161."
I'm standing behind the line. There's something I should be doing. I wonder what.
The person behind me pushes me a little and says, "That's you. Go on."

Oh. It's my turn. I walk up to the desk, and I see a small sign on it. It says 'Immigration'.
I'm standing in front of the desk now. The man behind the desk has a stack of paper folders. How'd I know that?
The man looks up at me and says, "Mister Grindswell." I know that voice! He's a-
"Hashi!"
"Huh?"
Zach is in front of me. He asks, "Are you ok?"
"I don't know. I was somewhere else." I'm in the library now with Zach and Kithera.
I say "I don't know what happened."
"That looked a lot one of Zach's microsleeps," Kithera added.
My game body doesn't have feelings. "I'm feeling strange."
Zach and Kithera have moved over to me. I see both the library and the room with the desk at the same time. I'm falling.
"Mister Grindswell!" the agent says. I can see his ear piece with the white spiraled cord.
"Mister Grindswell, pay attention. This is important."
I'm here now. The library is gone. I answer him, "Yes, I'm Hashi Grindswell."
The agent looks a little less severe now. He reaches over and taps my numbered paper. I see a golden line on the floor appear that runs left of the desk and into the maze of cubicles. I'm feeling less afraid now.
He pulls off his reflective glasses and looks at me. I can see myself reflected in his eyes. A tiny me. Not a catgirl.
"Your case worker is ready to see you now. Follow the line and you will find her office." He sounds kind and softer somehow. I just noticed that his suit is really a grayish green. I don't know why it looked black before.
I follow the golden line into the sea of cubes. As I take my third step, the line starts to sparkle. I hear behind me a clock chime the hour. I hear it ticking now. I turn to look and there's nothing at all behind me. Where did the cubes go? I turn back and there in front of me, I see a pleasant looking woman sitting on a couch. She pats the seat beside her.

"Welcome, Hashi. Forgive the abduction. But we need to talk." Something about how she speaks reminds me of David.
I sit down beside her. She was wearing some sort of suit when I first saw her. Now she's wearing a golden flowing gown with many layers. She's so beautiful. I wonder what she wants to talk about.
I guess I'll see Zach and Kithera later.

Blood Shaper
Kay didn't have the best life. Most of it was fairly standard, but his past was marred by a tragedy that changed his entire world. Years later he had managed to mostly rebuild his life, and had started making something of himself. And then he woke up in a different world. A world of fantasy and [Classes], a world much more dangerous than the one he'd been born in. The new world he's been dumped into doesn't hold anyone's hand. Even with the bonuses that being an Outworlder brings won't keep him perfectly safe. One mistake could kill him in an instant. But maybe, with a little bit of help, he could start over once more, and start to make something of himself again. And maybe, just maybe, that something he makes himself into could be amazing. And bloody. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] (We'll see how I do) ****** As I'm leaning right now there probably will be sexual content later on, but I might change my mind later. There definitely will be death, gore, violence, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.

8 758Heart of a Mer
Sequel to Cry of the Mer. Having left the Lemuria Institution - where so many horrors occured - far behind, Katie and Luna couldn't be more relieved to be free of the torment that still haunts their dreams. But they're far from at peace. Struggling with the onslaught of Post-Traumatic nightmares and stress, they both face new challenges. For Luna, finding the home and family she doesn't remember will be a difficult journey weighed down by a lack of self worth, and may come with a price too high to pay. And Katie - the halfbreed science project - must now try to find what being a Mer really means and find a place in one of two worlds no longer built for her. Sacrifices must be made, and with the ever constant threat of being rediscovered looming over their heads, both Mer feel it is only a matter of time before the storm breaks out once more and drags them back to the captivity where everything began.
8 65The Dungeon Gods [DEAD - AWAITING REWRITE]
More than three centuries ago, the Great Mage, Arcius, Performed the single greatest feat a magician can accomplish, he looked into the future, and discovered his fate. In his visions, he discovered his reincarnation, to become a Dungeon. Desiring to rise to great heights again, even in his new life, he spent the remaining centuries he had researching and studying the strange beings called Dungeons, and devising a spell that would allow him to retain his memories. However, the very act of knowing what is to come can often be enough to alter Destiny. Impressed at the Mage's efforts, an ancient, powerful being, the Creator of Gods, has now chosen him, to become one of the Dungeon Gods of a new world in a new segment of reality. Their directive, to bring life to this new world. Follow him, as he brings forth the knowledge his efforts awarded him, and pits it against his unprepared competitors, in a bid to be the first to create sentient life. This is my first full on story, and is mostly going to be a learning experience for me. It is going to be a story following the life of Arcius as a Dungeon God, with very few POV swaps, if any. If I make any errors, either in spelling or in grammer, please let me know, and I will endevour to correct them ASAP. I was inspired to create this story after reading the Scale Dungeon, by TheSilverGunner, here on RRL. It is a good story, despite having only a few chapter out at the time of writing this. I highly recommend that you read that story if you find this one interesting.
