《On The Run From A Dragon》Day Ten: Part Eleven
Advertisement
Tom and Zabel walked to white bubble doors across the room from the wooden door. The one of the doors had In written on it and Out on the other just above two narrow circular windows. He looked through the right one to see a vast industrial kitchen. Not spotting anyone inside, Tom straight armed the door and went in to the left. She entered behind him and surveyed the right. Pots and pans were still on cooling stoves as the smell of food filled the room.
'Sr. based on the size of this kitchen and the supples they had on hand, there should be alot more of them.'
'Yeah, that's what I thought to. They could be trying to work round all the cave-ins.'
They crept along checking for any ambushes. Making their over to a lunch line buffet that divided that the enormous cafeteria they peered into the suspiciously vacant room. Tom's paranoia was acting up.
'Is the Dark Sun Guild know for running away from a fight?'
'Olny if an unstoppable dreadlord comes crashing into their home Sr.'
'I overheard about them on the interwebs. They're supposed to be really scary.'
'You are Sr.'
'Oh whatever.'
Tom couldn't see her smiling under all that armor as they proceeded carefully to walk round the food line and move towards the exit doors. After he did a quick mirror check and not discovering anything in the hallway, the both of them continued on hunting for trouble. Tom came to a stop in the abandoned tunnel and pulled out June's feather. As it blazed with light in the darkness of the unlit hall. Hovering in the cool air, it whirled round to point at a sturdy looking door with a collection of locks on it. A swift movement of his hand the door was hurled against the opposing wall. Tucking the feather away in his robe as he marched into the room and a concerned Zabel trailed behind him. She was about to inquire why he was so irritated, but got her answer upon seeing the experiments. Half transformed unclothed women and men were in cages, on failed life support or chained to the wall. One of the women could see Tom and Zabel in the pitch black of the dungeon. Right down the middle of her body was one half normal human and the other was the exoskeleton of an insect. She requested Tom's help.

"I'm in so much pain. Please, can you kill me?"
Tom didn't hesitate for a complete second as he unholstered his loaded revolver and promptly put a round in her skull. Most of them flinched back at the ear-piercing boom. Zabel stared sorrowfully at the tortured women. His left arm bent smoothly at the elbow with an open hand to the cracked ceiling. A dull red ball of light formed in his gloved hand as he spoke out loud.
"Most of the ancient and new gods of this world frown upon suicide. I am already going to hell when I die, so I don't mind more blood on my hands if you ask for it."
As their sunken eyes nervously adjusted to the red light and took in the ghastly appearance of him, no one else asked. Tom critically examined all of their gaunt faces or for an eager hand in the air.
"Good, If anyone wants to leave this hell hole or needs help to do so, now is the time."
With a flick of his other hand, all the horrible restraints and grim prisons were instantly removed as he turned to Zabel.
'Radio your squadmates and have them get HQ on the CB. We will need more transport. Our primary mission is completed.'
'Yes Sr.'

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
