《Wolf of the Wasteland》Wolf of the Wasteland - 14 - The Escape
Advertisement
Wolf rose, sitting up.
She peered down at her scantily clad body, which was now covered in the Nova Symbiote's gel-like surface.
Wolf felt the collar around her neck. It was still in tact.
"It didn't work," spoke Nissa Or'iel, "The symbiote didn't remove the collar like it was suppose to."
Wolf stood up, feeling rejuvenated from her deep sleep. Her wounds had healed over night. The dark black life-form covered Wolf's body, reminding her of the feel of her old battlesuit.
It was comforting but felt so different.
She placed her palm against her chest, feeling her heart. She had an abnormally slow heartbeat while wearing the Nova Symbiote.
"The feathered-men took Ama. They said they had a potential buyer," added Nissa, who sulked on the bench in the back of the dim-lit cell.
Wolf looked over at Nissa. Wolf almost looked genuinely worried for her safety.
"C’est vraiment des conneries. Will we still escape?" questioned Wolf.
"We can't. It's impossible, and even if we could- I'm not leaving without Ama," she demanded, standing up.
Wolf let out a smirk, "We will take back nos amis."
Nissa looked at Wolf puzzled, "What?", she questioned.
"Our friends, our friends...," Wolf corrected herself, "your female friend and my rifle. We will take them back."
"Ohhhh," replied Nissa, cluing in, "Yes, we must save Ama!"
"Will this gel still bust open the lock for us?" Wolf asked.
"Nope. Ama tried it while you were passed out. We are stuck."
"Flies in a web," Wolf huffed, "I guess we sit and wait."
"But... Ama..." Nissa approached Wolf, "we have to help her."
Wolf stood silent and idle, staring at the useless objects in the small cell.
"How?" Wolf questioned as she leaned over, plopping her bottom on the floor, "It's locked."
The two girls sat together in the cold, damp, dungeon, waiting in sullen silence.

The Number
There were two things I knew instantly when I began to exist. The Number was 1922916.12. And I had to make the Number go up. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 182Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.

I hate my (new) life. Who the hell sticks a man in a tunnel with flesh eating insects an unknown amount of distance beneath the ground with the nerve to say they're offering you a 'better chance in a second life' with no further explanation. If I ever find the HR department responsible for this ridiculous relocation I will simply punch all of them in the face multiple times- actually screw that. If I ever find any of these idiots i'm not just gonna punch them in their face, I'm gonna head-but them in their soon to be bloody, crooked as can be noses.
