《The Guardian of the world tree》Chapter 9: Breaking out.
Advertisement
Leon was brought out of his musing by the sound of the cell door being pushed open by the goblin captain who was in charge of the patrol unit that had captured him. The goblin was accompanied by a pair of goblins that looked just like the goblins that had been chasing him, when Matt had first came to his rescue. The big goblin was scanning the crowd of prisoners for someone and when his gaze fell upon Leon he stopped and asked the goblins behind him something in goblin tongue, to which they both nodded in affirmation. The Warrior goblin turned around to meet Leon's eyes and came closer to him,
"So someone aided you in your escape heh, tell me where he is, or else, I'll make you wish you were dead" said the goblin in the common tongue.
"I don't know what you are talking about, I escaped all on my own, no one helped me and even if there was such a person, I wouldn't have told you" Even before Leon finished saying this the goblin struck him in the stomach with his gauntlet covered hand. The attack was powerful enough to push out all the air inside his lungs and send him flying towards the wall behind him.
" That's not a good enough answer, try again," said the goblin.
Leon stood up from where he had fallen, that single punch took 10% of HP from him. He felt the taste of iron filling his mouth and spat out a goblet of blood. " How am I supposed to tell you something I know nothing about"
"Is that so, then who was the one who saved you from these two over there and beat all three of them, including another whose leg got fractured in the fight?"

"No one saved me, I fought them off on my own," said Leon
"In that case, let's see you fight them again. Tomorrow morning, you'll be put up against three goblins from my unit and if you lose you'll be put up against another three goblins again till you can fight no more. This will continue in the days to come, until you start talking." said the goblin and he left the cell with the other two following after him. The goblin standing guard locked the cell door once the other goblins had left.
"Man, you've got balls to have stood up against that monster," said Brook "so who is this friend of yours that fought three of those fuckers single-handedly?"
"Matt he saved me and I'll lose my life before I tell on him," said Leon
"Yah, one who betrays his friend the worse than a scum" agreed Brook.
After that incident, nothing much happened, until midnight that is. Once the sun went down and darkness took over, the camp was lit with many torches and a central campfire. All the goblins gathered around the campfire to eat and drink. Once they started getting drunk the songs, arguments, fights and all other activities followed. The cell in which Leon and the others were locked was near a small rocky mountain from where, Leon could see glimpses of the central campfire. It was about midnight when all the festivities ended. The only goblins that remained were the ones on guard duty.
Suddenly the guard standing guard near Leon's cell fell unconscious and Matt materialized from the darkness near the unconscious goblin.
"It is about time you showed up," said Leon "Now let me out of this damn cell, we've work to do" and Matt obliged, by unlocking the cell door with the key, that he got from the goblin he had just knocked out.

THE SPACE LEGACY
-= New chapter every Wednesday! =- What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship? Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time in his grandfather's mountain cabin to unwind away from the drudgery of daily life with a cold beer in his hands. Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists... and this is just the beginning. What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens. Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world. He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore... aside from his own. 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him. 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born. You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more. --- “Really entertaining, and a promising future.” - RR Reviewer “Good old sci-fi novel” - RR Reviewer “Sci-fi with a realistic MC” - RR Reviewer “Wow, seriously... just wow” - RR Reviewer “I'm hooked!” - RR Reviewer “A well crafted story.” - RR Reviewer “A Sci-fi Novel I can appreciate” - RR Reviewer “This is f....ing good.” - RR Reviewer -------------------------------------------------- Advance chapters available on Patreon -------------------------------------------------- The original art for the cover picture was made by N.

8 92Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)
