《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 73 - Nazeebo (Diablo III)
Advertisement
Somewhere in the Cemetery of the Forsaken, the Waypoint lights up and Shang appears on the top of it.
Shang: Let’s see…
Shang checks his surroundings to find himself surrounded by gravestones.
Shang’s thoughts: Of all places, you have to build the Waypoint in the middle of the enemy territory.
Shang curses the old Horadrim in his thoughts but he could not blame them. No one would know the people bury the dead near the Waypoint in the future.
Shang also notices some skeletons walking around with either equipped with one sword or equipped with both sword and shield.
With his martial arts, Shang sneaks past the skeletons and jumps up to the tallest crypt he could find for a clearer view of the cemetery.
Shang’s thoughts: Looks like they have not reached here yet. I guess they are stuck in Weeping Hollow.
Shang thinks as he looks around for the group who he thought is already here.
As Shang looks around, he notices a skeleton falls back from knocking onto some kind of invisible wall. The skeleton stands again and swings its weapon against it. There is nothing deflecting the weapon. The skeleton tries to approach but fail as he falls back again. Unable to move towards the direction it wants, it goes the other way.
Shang looks from location of the skeleton and notice the tree which the skeleton is approaching has a strange light hanging from one of its tree branches.
Deciding to investigate the light, Shang jumps towards the tree from crypt to crypt.
As Shang comes closer to the tree, he notices there are also strange things hanging from the tree branches.
Shang’s thoughts: Where did I see them before?
Shang stops before the invisible wall which had prevented the skeleton from passing through.
Shang puts his hand on it and his hand goes through it.

Shang’s thoughts: It only works on the dead.
Shang then moves towards the tree and climbs it.
Ignoring the other hanging objects, Shang works his way up the tree towards the hanging light.
As he comes closer, Shang feels the sudden blow of the wind which shakes the hanging light.
The hanging light turns to face Shang as it shakes.
Shang stops his climb as he is now face to face with the light.
Shang had thought it might be a doll or amulet hanging from the branch. He did not expect to see a hanging head of a brown haired female whose eyes are wide open and glowing.
Shang’s thoughts: That face, where did I see it before…
Shang thinks as he tries to remember by staring at it.
Shang’s thoughts: It is her...but wait, isn’t this item…
Shang’s thoughts are interrupted by a sudden pull from his shoulder.
A masked voice is heard.
????: Wake up. Her countenance is not for mortal eyes.
Shang turns around and finds himself in front of a figure wearing a huge mask which has two set of eyes.
Shang: You are?
????: Young one, this is not a place for you to come here. It is best that you leave.
The figure says while revealing an ornamented dagger on one hand.
Shang: I am afraid I can’t.
Shang says as his eyes fixed on the ornamented dagger.
????: State your reasons.
Shang knows who is standing in front but he pretends not to know.
Shang: Horadrim.
????: Horadrim? Wait… The spirits speak of you... The Order… The Crusaders of Light… What brings such a young protector like you to this place?
The figure lowers the dagger.
Shang: The Nephalem.
????: The Nephalem? You are looking for me?
Shang: Not only you, there are others who are supposed to be here.
????: There are other nephalems? So I am not alone…
Shang: I think they are still trapped in the Weeping Hollow. Will you come with me, Witch doctor? Oh wait, I forget to introduce myself. The name’s Shang. What’s yours?
????: The name’s Nazeebo.
The figure says while removing his mask, showing a face with piercing on his chin and ears.

Dungeons & Demons
*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.

Cinder Souls II
Dark Souls is known as one of the hardest game series to have ever existed and with the third installment of Dark Souls, being Dark Souls 3, the makers of the game decided to not make another. With the licensing of the game being put into limbo, a game company called Virtual World decided to buy the right to make another game in the series, this game was called Cinder Souls. Something was different about this game compared to the rest of the series and that was it is on the World Gear, a device that put your consciousness inside of the game and gave you complete control of your character's body. This game exploded and sold over 5 million copies in the first week since it had something other games didn't. Freedom. You could do 18+ actions, take over kingdoms, destroy guild bases entirely, and even rob NPCs. Of course there are laws in certain areas that prohibited certain actions but that all depended on what guild was in control of the land you are at. There are 4 continents with there being several countries dividing each continent into different sections and each having their own difficulties. The strongest continent of them all is Land of the Gods, which only the most legendary of players can enter and become apart of. It is a small island which only has 10 inhabitants but these 10 people could easily take over any other continent on the planet but decide to lay dormant on the island, waiting for something strong to spice up the game. Each of these 10 players is considered a God in the game and even have their own following base. Each God had major influence over the millions of other players in the game but that was all in the past. Now it is time for an update, a completely new world with new enemies and new beginnings for all and that update is coming soon. Its supposed to arrive in one day in fact. This update would have new quests and new adventures and the game title will be changed to Cinder Souls II, whether you kept your character or not is unknown but what was known was that the real world was excited for this. Since it was an update, you didn't have to repurchase the game so old players began to dust off their old copies and prepare for the copious amounts of fun in store for them. This story follows one of the best players to have ever graced the game, Frew, the God of Miracles, and his new adventures but it is not as expected. Not one of the 14 million players could expect what would be coming up next in Cinder Souls II nor would anyone be prepared for it. *****WARNING, IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE VIRTUAL REALITY ASPECT IT IS NEXT TO NONE EXISTANT EXCEPT FOR CHAPTERS IN THE FAR FUTURE***** For the original cover picture, check out this link! ----> https://www.pinterest.com/pin/420875527667199123
