《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 80 - Poor Eamon (Diablo III)
Advertisement
After Cain finishes writing his letter, there is knocking on his door.
Cain: Who is it?
Cain shouts from across the room while he shoves the letter to one side.
Eamon hides back into the sword.
Shang: It’s me, Deckard. Can I come in?
Cain: Oh, It’s you. Come on in.
Shang: So you are still chatting with Chancellor Eamon?
Shang says after entering and shutting the door.
Eamon: I am no more Chancellor, Shang. I am just old man Eamon.
Eamon says when he pops his head out of the sword after hearing his name.
Eamon: How’s my grandson doing?
Shang: Dead drunk. Bron had to call Nek for help and clean up the mess he left behind.
Eamon: What a disappointment… Can’t he be like his father for once?
Shang: Wounds take time to heal, Eamon. You have to give him time. Not everyone can be a calm-minded diplomat like your son.
Eamon: Time… I am not sure how long I can stay in this world.
Shang: You’re fine as long as the vessel within the sword does not broken and the sword is maintained properly.
Eamon: How… right, I totally forget you are the one who made this sword. From what I see, Horadric magic seems to be better than smithing. Deckard, you should as well taught Haedrig.
Cain: Two students is enough for me. One more and I will be one on the run.
Cain smiles and then three of them have a good laugh.
Shang: So what are you old fellows chatting?
Cain: It’s about Leah.
Shang: About Leah? You confirmed my theory?
Cain: I hate to say it is sadly accurate.
Cain says with a depressed look.
Shang: And what should we do?
Cain: Look for any help we can find. The only person I could think of would be the hero from the Skovos Isles.

Cain says as he moves the letter in front of him.
Shang: But will they be free to help?
Cain: What do you say so?
Shang: You forget how Aidan got his title.
Cain: Title? You mean the Dark Wanderer. No, you don’t mean…
Cain's face turns pale when he recalls.
Shang: Diablo has planned a step ahead of us.
Cain: I knew it!
Cain slams his hand on the letter which is now useless to send out.
Shang: Deckard.
Cain: Yes?
Shang: I have a plan but you will not like it.
Eamon: Don’t mind if I join in.
The ghost speaks.
Shang: No, I don’t mind. Your services are required.
Eamon: Eh?
After a few minutes, Eamon cries out.
Eamon: You must be mad! How can you do that!
Shang: Do we have a choice? That is the only way I could think.
Shang says as he looks at the table where Queen Asylla’s head and body is placed.
Cain is silent while considering Shang’s plan.
He then starts to speak.
Cain: It should be fine. At least you are not following Zoltun Kulle’s footsteps.
Shang: Of course. I still want to live longer.
Before Cain say anything, Eamon speaks.
Eamon: My answer is no.
Cain: But Eamon...
Eamon: There's no way I allowing this.
Eamon says while he tries to turn into his boss mode, Astral Guardian but fails to do so.
Shang: I don't think that will work
Eamon: Eh!? What did you do to me?
Shang: I added a limiter to the vessel in case something like that happens. Looks like it is working fine.
Eamon: You!
Seeing this, Cain heaves a sigh of relief that he does not have to go up against Eamon.
Cain: Old friend… your sacrifice will not be in vain.
Cain looks away while shedding a tear.
Eamon: No… Deckard, how can you do this to me...
Shang: Believe me, it will be over shortly. You will wake up bright and new after I am done.
Shang says as he takes out a yellow paper talisman.
Eamon: That doesn’t sound....wait, are you both listening to me!?
No matter what Eamon says, Cain set up barriers and Shang begins his work.
Haedrig had a good rest that night.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan
