《Ruby_eyes》chapter 6: 1 Down, 2 to Go

one warrior falls
two are left to be hunted
what will ruby do
I made a haiku (owo) (owo) (owo)
As the corpse of Henrietta fell to the moss floor with little sound her former ally's were non the wiser as they were reaching the 3rd pillar and burned that one too. as the blue flames engulf the pillar the leafs around the 3rd pillar start to shift as to coil them self's around the pillar, by doing this Lucas and Polos are encircled by them.
As they were being encircled Lucas was panicking while polos was expressionless as he charged one of the leafs into a battle roll with his two-handed sword swinging from Polos back into the leafs stalk, the leaf is severed with it creating a hole in the encirclement in which the next moment both Lucas and polos escape though just before the noose was tightened.
The goblin-fish was in awe at the spectacle in-front of her to the point she was gobsmacked.
this scene of encirclement then polos breaking though kept happening till both he and Lucas got to the 4th pillar but at the most unfortunate time Lucas's mana went to 0 at this time more than a third of the leafs were gone and the 4th pillar was being set alight, the aquamarine helmet stops glowing and water starts to invade the helmet but as the water was about to cover his nose the helmet glows again with it venting the water back out of the helmet.
From seeing this Ruby was confused, till she remembered when while she was trailing them and viewing their stats Lucas's mana went to 20 then went back up to 25 after a few seconds's then it hit her.
(Ruby): -Automatic Mana Recovery (mana regen)-
As Lucas breathed in after nearly drowning like Henrietta did he said with a thin weak voice while he lights the 4th pillar on fire.

(Lucas):"We've only got 10 minuets left or im a drowned rat"
From this statement polos only nods and continues to cut the leafs down, a moment later the earth trembles as all the bubbles separating the duo and the 5th pillar all pop signaling the second phase so to speak, the 4 burned pillars start to rumble as they are extracted from the ground into 4 very large clubs that become mossy as a green/purple goo over the pillar clubs, for the protection 5th pillar.
In there counter to the transformation polos charges the last pillar since he knows there tank is incapacitated while Lucas should quickly burn the pillar so he plans to take the hit, to enforce this Lucas does the same but just behind polos footsteps.
as one of the pillar's clubs crashes from the side into them polos tries to take the hit in place of Lucas with that being able but in the process he gets sent flying with a clump of the moss falling off and landing onto polos neck, as he crashed into the moss floor a large 'thump' sound is heard, after his landing polos never gets up but Ruby knows better as she swims slowly to the man.
polos lays in the same position as he was hit in on the floor and with this only one word comes to mind -paralyzed-, as Ruby swims forward into polos view he shows a face of shock as he is completely helpless to the crimson eyed goblin fish staring at him, within seconds Ruby had swam to polos neck before ripping his neck out for all the nice fresh water to kill him thought the same method of Henrietta.
Before polos could even scream for help his lungs were full of water and he died without being able to lift a finger to defend himself and with his 'noble' sacrifice 5 screens appear in-front of ruby.

(Ruby): -wow, two more variant skills and a skill , but this title is a bit weird, whats snobbery anyway?-
As the life drained from polos eyes and with Lucas just setting the 5th pillar on fire, the stealthy Ruby was already floating towards him from behind. As Lucas was happy from the burning pillar he turns around to look at the condition of polos but instead his neck is tackled and gnawed at before he could react or even scream, as his neck was filling with water and blood he lets out a gargling like noise before his body fell to the floor.
as the burning of the pillar was nearly finished ruby had 3 messages appear in-front of her.

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
8 72Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
