CHAPTER 11 : A NEW SURPRISE
BEEP!! BEEP!! "What now?!!"
I looked towards the direction of the sound. A man who was a part of the rescue team was holding something like a tab with his hands and legs shivering. "??"
"What happened?" Mitra asked him.
"We are doomed!!!!" the man shouted throwing the tab in his hand. He started pulling his own hair. "We all are gonna die for sure this time!!!" he shouted again.
The surroundings suddenly became quite. Everyone was looking towards the man who was shouting. Mitra went near the tab that was fallen and slowly turned it on "!!!!" he was shocked. He started trembling from his head to heels.
Seeing him trembling I an Jeevan ran towards him. Jeevan took the tab from "What is It?" I asked Jeevan worriedly.
"This is a monster tracking device which shows the number of monsters around us." Jeevan explained.
"Oooho." saying that I took the tab from him. "Huh why are there so many dots outside this huge hall?" I asked Jeevan pointing the red dots on the tab.
"They are the monsters which are coming towards us." "!!! What?!" I shouted. Then that means there would be at least hundreds of monsters coming towards or it may be even thousands.
"How much time will it take for us to get out of this [DOOR]?" Jeevan asked a rescue team member.
"To destroy the aura of the door and to open the exit will at least take an hour." the rescue team member said.
"We all will be dead at that time!!! Judging from the number of monsters we cannot even fight for some minutes!!!" the guide shouted. Everyone became panicked.
Damn why the hell are surprises coming like ants in a line??
"Don't worry Rishi we will get out of this [DOOR] alive." Jeevan said that handing over me some bottle with a weird color liquid. "??" seeing me not understanding he opened the cap of the bottle "This a health portion." he said.
So there are something like health portions too huh. I took the bottle and drank it. Huh? It doesn't have any taste. It was like I was drinking water.
"??!" suddenly my body started glowing. Haah the pain I was feeling slowly started disappearing. the scratches on my hand disappeared.
Pop [80% OF HEALTH HAS BEEN RESTORED]. Hehe that's enough, that's enough for me to live a bit long. Should I laugh or cry?

"Hey Rishi, why that long face? I said that we will go out of here alive right? So don't worry." he said keeping his hand on my shoulder.
"Everyone drink your health portions and get ready we will be attacked any moment now." The guide shouted while the rescue team was busy trying to open an exit to the outer world.
DUNNN "!!??" suddenly the ground started shaking. Everyone was panicked and looking at each other face.
"Everyone take out your weapons and get ready!!" Mitra shouted raising his heavy long sword.
What type of monsters are coming this side to shake the ground so violently??? Can I even go near them?? No no I should not lose hope. Thinking that I holded my sword as hard as I could.
"Huh!!??" Everyone was surprised to see hundreds of rat like monsters but which were bigger than a cat coming towards us.
"Yeeeeahhh!!" Mitra shouted and everyone looked towards him.
"These are the monsters that were assumed to be in this [DOOR]!! Everyone don't be afraid these monsters are weak and are best for beginners to fight them!!" Mitra shouted excitedly.
Hearing him everyone calmed down and their faces lit with new excitement.
We all charged towards the monsters.
**********
"What the hell did you guys do to get this exhausted??!!" Happi shouted seeing me.
Yeah we all came back to the company the second the exit was made by the rescue team to get out of the [DOOR].
"Don't even ask me about that." Saying that I collapsed on my chair.
Huff that was hell. I just went near my death but at least did not hold it's hand.
"Her!!!!" BANGGG "!!!?" suddenly someone dashed the chair I was sitting and I fell down from the chair.
"Oh sorry, sorry I was too excited that I ran towards you." a muscular girl said, helping me stand up.
After I got my full conscious from that fall I realized that the girl was non other than the blacksmith who made my weapon.
"Sorry that I don't even know your name." she said, shaking my hand violently.
"Um.. my name is Rishi and you are?" I too don't know her name as I thought I wouldn't meet her frequently.
"You can call me Sara." she said smiling brightly.
My mood for now doesn't match with her personality. She is too excited and I am too exhausted.

"How as the weapon I made?!!" she asked tapping on my back.
"Um... it was better than I expected. I did not even think that a metal with all the conditions I wrote existed." I said to her in a low voice.
"This is a fantasy world where magic exists so do the magical things and that does not exclude magical materials." she said jumping around me. Maan! she has tons of energy.
"Um if you don't mind can we talk while eating. I am kind of starving" I said to her rubbing my hands on my belly.
"Oh sure!" Sara replied to what I said.
We went to the dining hall of the company and started eating.
"Can I know who she is Rishi?" Happi asked me.
"Oh she is the blacksmith who made me the sword." I answered him chewing my food in my mouth. I am sooooo hungry.
"So how was the sword!" she asked me excitedly.
Regaining some of my energy "The sword was great!!! It even penetrated through the skin of a 'One Eyed Orc'!! It's sharpness and balance were amazing!! You are the best Blacksmith I have ever seen!!" I shouted. I realized that I shouted too loud and everyone was seeing me.
"Sorry I got hooked on myself!!" I whispered to both of them.
"No..... It's alright." she said blushing red.
"Hehe but the sword was crazily great. It saved my life." I thanked her with all my heart. Because if I had a normal sword instead of the sword she made I would have been dead!!
"That's because of your idea. I just made it." She said it turning red. May be it was toomuch for her.
"Wait, wait wait Rishi what do you mean by 'It pierced through an One Eyed Orc?" Happi asked me with a doubtful look.
"Um a lot happened because of my damn luck!" I said slamming my hand on the table.
"Hey Rishi are you having lunch with your friends?" huh I looked back. It was Jeevan.
"Yeah." I said keeping food in my mouth.
"Do you mind if i accompany you." Jeevan asked us.
"Maan!! What are you saying? We used to sit together and eat at school." Happi said to Jeevan bringing an extra chair for him.
"Jeevan what's all the matter with this 'I killed an Orc' thing?" Happi asked Jeevan.
"Oh that, our friend here killed a OneEyed Orc all by himself. He is thinking that he saver his life while all the professors are shocked." Jeevan said the to Happi opening his box.
"It all thanks to the sword that she made." I said to Jeevan pointing towasds Sara.
"The sword was amazing but your swordsmanship was incredible. Was it really the first time you used a swors?" Jeevan asked me doubtfully.
"Man! I swear it was my first time, apart from praticing with Happi I did not even touch a sword. No not only sword but I did not even touch any weapon." I said to them.
Man!! I just had a dream being a swordsman but no one can learn swordsmanship from a dream!!!
"So you are the one who made Rishi's sword huh?" Jeevan asked Sara taking some food from Happi's box.
"Yes!! But the materials and design was made by Rishi." she said to Jeevan.
"Rishi can you make a design of a weapon which suits my Arcane too?" he asked me.
"Man!!! You don't even need any weapon with the power you have!! And you can also make weapons with your magic." I shouted.
Yes he is so much strong that when I was fighting 3 - 4 monsters he already killed dozens of them.
He was fast, strong and had the knowledge to how to defeat his opponent. And more importantly his Arcane can solidify light into any shape and make a deadly weapon.
"So you made an adventure without me Rishi!??" Happi shouted.
"You idiot it was not an adventure it was literally Hell!!!" I shouted back at Happi. If he was with me he would have known the pain.
"Puffff" Sara started laughing.
We three friends got confused.
"Um why are you laughing??" I asked her cleaning my mouth as I finished my food.
"Hehehe it's nothing, I just thought that you guys are a bit weird. I mean in a nice way." She said to is waving her hands.
BOOM what was that suddenly???
"Everyone please get ready yourself. We are under attack" an announcement was made by the professor Vigyan.
"Maann! They don't even want me to take some rest!!" I shouted.
We started running towards the direction of the sound.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.
