《Records of the Weakest Emperor》Chapter 29: Patient Files
Advertisement
"T-This... are... Patient files?" Rose reeled in shock upon seeing the title of the document
"P-Persistent Sexual Arousal? What a pervert..." Roy whispered.
"No shit, sherlock. But, Arthur Chase... Isn't that what that handsome monster told us earlier?" Nicholas jeered at Roy before jokingly commenting.
Calvin raised his head and stared at him, "Handsome monster, you sure know how to jest. Yes, the Benevolent Father mentioned that Arthur Chase has the security access keycard for the Security Room. But the problem is where are we going to find that Arthur Chase?"
"What do you want to do, Calvin? Should we go and look for this Arthur Chase first, or do we go to the basement and turn on the electricity for the eastern side of the asylum." Hugo asked with curiosity.
Medea also turned to look at Calvin.
Calvin could feel that Medea's gaze was somewhat strange, but since he had no time to understand the underlying meaning of her gaze. Calvin merely shrugged it before replying, "Let's see if Nicholas can find more information about this place. The information that I bribed out of the custodians may not even be that accurate.''
Hugo nodded.
Speaking of the devil...
Nicholas exclaimed in shock.
"I found a map!"
"I found a map of the asylum!"
A loading screen appeared on the monitor and a map was revealed in front of everyone.
"Administration Block..."
"Vocational Block..."
"Recreation Area..."
"Watch Tower Grounds..."
"Medical Ward..."
"A Hospital and a Prison...?"
"There are also some areas that I can't access due to this annoying state of the art firewall," Nicholas uttered a complaint.
"That's fine, that's good enough. Can someone draw better than me here? I want someone to draw the map and the routes, so we can use it as our reference. But since this place is too big, it's better if we just draw the map of the Vocational Block and the Medical Ward..." Calvin proposed.
"How about the Administration Block?" Rose asked.
Calvin shook his head, "It doesn't matter, we are about to leave the Administration Block anyway after going through the flooded basement."
"Leave? Where are we going." Calvin's answer confused her instead.
"We are going for the medical ward and take the keycard from the hands of that Arthur Chase." Calvin solemnly declared.

The others felt a shiver down their spines. They were already convinced of the horrors of this place. None of them dared to downplay nor underestimate the patients in this place anymore. Just the Benevolent Father alone was probably enough to annihilate them in a few seconds.
Even if they say that the other patients were weaker than the Benevolent Father.
None of them was willing to gamble.
After all, a person only had a single life and it was everyone's responsibility to take care of their own lives.
If possible, they weren't willing to risk their lives at all.
"But how can you be so sure that Arthur Chase will be in the Medical Ward?" Hugo asked in curiosity.
He turned to look at him and was about to reply when Jannette suddenly spoke, "It's probably because the female staff of this asylum lived within the Medical Ward in close proximity with their patients so they can respond as fast as possible in emergencies. Am I right, Zahra?" She looked at Zahra for confirmation.
Zahra was a bit nervous after being called out but as a diligent child who studied a lot every day. She knew that Jannette's answer was correct. She slightly nodded their heads and everyone was convinced. No one within this group doubted Zahra's capabilities and knowledge when it came to hospitals and the morbid reality.
Calvin also supported her with a smile, "That's right. But to go to the Medical Ward which is situated on the second floor directly above the Vocational Block. We need to turn on the electricity first for the eastern side of the asylum. We probably can't access that place without any running electricity."
"Why?" Roy asked in confusion.
Zahra answered him with a smile, "It's because places like this often have decontamination chambers in their entrances. So, if we want to go to the Medical Ward. We will definitely have to go through a decontamination chamber..."
"What?" Roy was still confused.
Zahra was taken aback and confused if her explanation was correct or not.
Then, Nicholas interjected: "Don't worry about it, Zahra. There's nothing wrong with your explanation. Roy is just too stupid to understand what you are talking about. In fact, I don't even think that we need to listen to his opinions."
"What the fuck did you just say to me, Nicholas?!"

"What? You want to take this outside?" Nicholas wasn't backing down.
"Shut up." Calvin coldly interrupted. He looked at Roy and explained, "Decontamination Chambers need electricity to work despite it being mainly hydraulic. Without electricity, the gates of the decontamination chambers won't open and we will not be able to access the Medical Ward."
"Oh, okay... That makes sense." Roy awkwardly nodded his head.
Actually, the only reason why he was asking questions wasn't that he genuinely wanted to know more about what was going on. It's only because he didn't want to feel useless.
He wanted to be somewhat useful to the team.
Unfortunately for him, he knew nothing about the jargon that they were talking about, so he could only ask questions in order to pretend that he knew a thing or two.
What Nicholas did was basically the same as revealing one of his deepest secrets. Roy was angry and he even threatened to pounce at Nicholas and pummel him down the ground. Sadly, Hugo's gaze was entirely focused on him and he knew that once he attacked Nicholas, Hugo would almost immediately suppress him.
Calvin made a sidelong glance at Roy. How could he not notice his emotional turmoil.
Sighing, Calvin swept his gaze to the others and said.
"Rose... You may have been complacent and arrogant, but I saw how you tried to protect Scarlett who was standing behind you earlier in the staircase when we first met the Benevolent Father."
"Scarlett, you've always protected Zahra and Jane. I saw you braving your fears earlier despite your trembling knees."
"Jannette, you may have been quiet the whole time, but I am pretty sure that I saw you trying to make space for Hugo in order for him to rescue both Zahra and Jane as fast as possible. You know that you are not as strong as Scarlett nor as ingenious as Rose, but you were still trying to help the team in your own way."
"Nicholas, earlier when we were still back at the breakroom. Despite being extremely afraid of what was going on, you were still trying to crack some jokes in order to lighten up the mood. Others may not notice your efforts on stabilizing the mental condition of the others but I greatly appreciate your help."
"Ray, I thought you were just a pompous attention-seeker when we first arrived in this place. But ever since I saw how you were trying to place yourself in between me and the girls. I realized that you were not trying to get my attention, you were doing your best to protect the girls from any sudden changes."
"Philip, you were the loudest complainant at that time in the breakroom but after our encounter with the Benevolent Father, you've become brave. Despite your fear of traversing through the darkness, you still stood up and defended our flanks from the enemies that may suddenly arrive."
"Zahra, you helped us diagnose the death of that man earlier. Jane, you might think that you're not doing much, but your presence alone is reassuring..."
"The fact that someone like you can still be so ordinary and easily scared in a place like this reminds us that you are still human and that we should be human too and never fall into the same madness as this place!"
"Hugo! Your stature is like a mountain. Your presence alone is enough help!"
"And as for you, Roy! You're not useless at all! Even though you ask a lot of questions, your questions are actually helpful for us to notice some of the easily missed details that we would've missed if not for your questions making us think twice regarding what was going on and the information that we gathered..."
"And as for Medea..."
Calvin's eyes landed on Medea.
"Ahem... In other words, no one is useless in this team."
"Hey, why did you not announce my contributions?" Medea coldly spat, "Are you implying that I'm useless?"
"N-no... That's not it, uh, you've been really helpful. You're so beautiful, so your presence is like a light bulb in the middle of the dark." Calvin's mind madly spun as he made some excuses. When he saw that Medea was stunned speechless by what he had said. He quickly took advantage of that opportunity to change the topic.
"All right, uh... Let's go..."
"Onwards to the Flooded Basement!"
He straightened his back and marched out of the Computer Lab.
Descending the stairs, the group soon arrived at the Administration Block, Flooded Basement.

The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)

The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
