Chapter 4 - Escaping (1)
*Michael POV* ( The guard)
We were ordered to bring the Test Subject back, but after seeing his strength I have to say…. I am really scared. He killed a Great Wolf; we had to sacrifice dozens of comrades to capture it, but he killed it alone and he only suffered small injured…do you know what this means? This means that he is a killing machine that can match a small army.
‘Damn…and that crazy woman want us to capture him with just me and Lucas, I shouldn’t have agreed to work in this godforsaken place, but now I have no choice if don’t capture him, I’ll be worst than dead’
Walking through the hallways we finally arrived at the weapons room, putting my thumb on the fingerprint reader the titanium door opened and in front of me hundreds of weapons queued in gun cabinets appeared.
After some minutes, I finally choose the M4A1 Assault Rifle, Beretta M9 and a combat knife; Lucas picked the same.
‘These will do’
“How are you doing Lucas?”
I asked Lucas but I didn’t need an answer, I could see that he was all sweaty and his eyes were wide open, he stood there motionless without answering me for seconds.
“Yeah…I am fine Michael, I am just thinking that I shouldn’t have accepted this damn job” - Lucas
He weakly smiled while answering
“Yeah…I was thinking the same. Damn, if I die who will take care of my daughter? She is only six years old; she already lost her mother if I die too….”
“*Tch* But if we don’t obey we will die anyway… the only difference is that they will kill our families” – Lucas
Sighing, as we could do nothing but obey
After taking the guns, we exited the room and slowly walked towards the elevator, each step we took was heavier than the last while imagining the demon awaiting us, and in my mind I was cursing myself for accepting this job.

Minutes later we finally stood facing the elevator that would send us to hell.
“Prepared?”
“Yep” - Lucas
Placing my thumb on the fingerprint reader the elevator door opened, hesitating but finally stepping inside, the elevator slowly descended and all we could hear was the sound of the machinery.
-----------x-----------
*Number 7 POV*
“Finally they are coming”
I could hear the sound of the elevator descending, getting up I stood in the middle of the room waiting to the elevator arrive.
‘Probably they are coming to kill me…since I am a threat’
After two minutes the elevator arrived and the doors slowly opened, two soldiers stood there, they were wearing black combat clothes with body armor over it, they were holding guns and aiming it at me, they were the two guards who took me to the elevator.
“HANDS UP!!! HANDS UP!!!” – Guard 1
“DON’T MOVE!!!” – Guard 2
Both of them walked out of the elevator, closing on me from the left and right sides, trying to surround me.
I could feel my mouth curling upwards forming a cold smile; I dashed towards the guard on my right side, seeing me quickly getting closer the guards fired. Feeling danger I kicked the ground and somersaulted falling behind the guard on the right sensing the danger he jumped but it was too late, I grabbed his neck and twisted it.
*CRACk*
A cracking sound echoed through the room as the lifeless body of the guard slowly fell on the ground, his neck was twisted and no blood was shed. The other Guard looked at me hatred filled his eyes as he fired at me.
Kicking the ground I started to run around the room, running in circles so that the bullets couldn’t touch me, directing particles to my eyes so that I could see the trail of the bullets, I evaded all of them when finally the guard ran out of ammo.

“YOU MONSTER!!!!” – Guard 2
He screamed as he retreated and kneed in a corner of the room, a foul smell permeated the room as a yellow liquid dripped from his pants and spread all over the floor.
“Are you serious?”
I madly laughed while looking at the man crouched in a corner of the room...
“You have at least six minutes before you die from the particles radiation… you should have brought an isolation cloth at least”
I could see that the particles were invading his body and causing quite a bit of damage, as he didn’t have nowhere to store the particles that entered his body, so, he has at least six to seven minutes.
‘I will leave him here…I just need his thumb’
“Hey…I need your thumb”
He frightened looked at me without understand a thing, but as I got closer he shrunk even more. When he in my range I took a knife that was in his belt and slashed off his thumb. It was too fast that he didn’t have time to feel pain, but when he saw me with his thumb, he loudly screamed as he tried stanching the blood.
‘Now the other one’
Turning around and slicing off the thumb of the other one, I picked a rifle on the ground and tested it by firing once towards the wall, seeing that there was no problem with the gun I aimed it at a corner of the room where a camera was and whispered
“I am coming for you...”
After destroying the camera I walked towards the elevator and used the thumb of the guard to open the door, the doors opened and I slowly entered.
“This is going to be fun”

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
