《Puzzle: Theo's Virtual Quest》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Theo parked himself on the couch, watching his beloved Adventure Buddies on Net-Toons for several hours with tight eyeballs. He had a wonderful time indulging in the Furlanders completing their assigned tasks and journeyed with them along the bumpy roads.
In addition to his glee in viewing the show with his eyes, Theo had an advantage over other Adventure Buddies viewers. Since his father's company, DIY-Tech had designed and constructed a VR set that permitted him to join the cast-members; Serenity, Tailgate, Yzaaak, Selly, and Jellymint, on their animated quests.
With this fine asset, Theo’s imagination expanded quite a bit as he was capable of witnessing the magical land of Lamper first handed. Catching sight of all the mystical creatures going onward with their daily lives and experiencing the enjoyment of being a hero who helps others in times of need.
Theo having adequate knowledge about the whimsical world was a direct result of him binging the cartoon. That was why he could hold his grounds so well against Robert in the make-believe duel.
The desire to assist others had an imposing influence on Theo. Adventure Buddies taught him the benefits of lending helping hands to others who are incompetent in taking the measures necessary in aiding themselves.
Despite him cherishing magical and fantasy tales or TV shows, it was not the dearest topic to Theo. In a world that has plenty to offer the toddler, yet the subject that seems to fascinate his mind the most is, "Arrr! ye guessed it, pirates". The sea dwellers who locate hidden treasure and sail across the ocean on their long voyages got his heart pounding the fastest.
This admiration ensued when he saw the episode of Adventure Buddies. That showed the gang of mystical creatures going on a watery expedition. The quest was not the least bit simple.
It entailed an exceptional deal of endurance and effort, from withstanding the roaring beastly oceans swallowing ships entirely to fighting off dangerous sea critters who aimed to plunder the goods. All of this to land upon a drop-dead gorgeous Caribbean Island.
The exhausting quest required the Furlanders to transport enchanting supplies such as Fairy Bust, Fruits of Moonshy, and more types of equipment Lamper had to offer across the Oakgaze ocean with the interference of a fierce storm. The raging winds were not the only hindrance as there were internal disputes amongst the crew.
The main objective for the Furlanders setting sail on the briny deep (ocean) with an old salt (an experienced pirate) was for them to fend off invading pirates.

When Theo saw the voyages of the Adventure Buddies, it instantly resonated well with the youngster. He slept fantasying about going on the deep blue seas for ventures with a crew of his own.
Robert observed the interest Theo had for pirates. Therefore, he went out and brought the youngster a History of The Sea Born Pirates.
The tales within the book provided him with additional knowledge about pirates. Robert made it his duty to read the book every night as a bedtime story.
After sitting a decent amount of the cartoon for a lengthy period, he ultimately rose to get enough of his precious Adventure Buddies for one day. Theo eagerly ran upstairs to his room for an astronaut and alien costume to play hide-and-seek and resume the pleasant moments with his old man.
He brickly galloped in anticipation of the home office like a horse on an open field. Upon arrival to the room, Theo caught chatting escaping from inside. He cracked open the door.
Theo overheard Robert saying, “Oh yeah, the evaluation of the new headset happened last week, and it is authorized to use, but it is still a prototype at the moment.”
Dropping his head and gently closing the door in discouragement. He immediately knew the possibilities of playing hide-and-seek with his father were lower than a snake belly. Robert was currently in a company meeting and discussing business matters with his colleagues on the laptop.
Though this was a massive bummer for Theo, it did not fully sadden his spirit as he still went to the backyard along with his imaginary friend, Linos the stuffed Imp, to take part in all types of playful activities.
An example of the pastimes he engaged in would be pretending pirate, where Theo goes around the backyard to seek out intriguing objects or what a pirate will call booty.
The things would be considered an appealing thingamajig to catch sight of and salvageable objects. Multicolored insects such as butterflies, ladybugs, and lost playing toys left around the yard to get picked up.
He scanned the area high and low where there were leaves and where it had water until he eventually came upon an action figure he had at a prior time. It was quite an unusual find on this search for the youngster.
**
The action figure Theo discovered was a model of the superhero Warfare Hombre with A Pompre. He is an anti-hero rebel with the ability to blow stuff up with his mind. Warfare Hombre can only control his power by the use of a shotgun. That is where the "With A Pompre" part of his name came into effect.

This outlaw fights crime and supports the police officers in the shadows since he is not a fan of being in the limelight.
He was initially an evildoer who perpetrated crimes for a living. Until his criminal organization, The Wave of Immoral to turned on him.
Their reason for them playing Jubas was because he refused to eliminate a target who was in a car with his wife and kids. The refusal made him appear soft and unharmful to his comrades of the organization.
That series of fortunate yet unfortunate events led to Warfare Hombre with a Pompre, getting blackballed by The Wave of Immoral.
His formal companions saw it fitting to thrash him for his failure to carry out the mission and made him discerned that the world is not all beer and skittles.
After getting beaten half to death and being rejected by the villain organization, he seeks out lex talionis, also known to be revenge for the pain he had suffered.
His display of not having a cruel nature when it came to taking the required steps to do away with the wife and children had Theo feeling electrified to follow the story of vengeance while rooting for the ex-villain.
And the path he took in striving to amend for his unlawful ways and live a more sinless life.
Even though Theo was moderately interested in the journey Warfare Hombre with a Pompre undertook to change his life for the better. It was not the aspect of the show that drew him in the most.
The action the cartoon had to offer would easily take his number spot on the interest scale. With the cool razzmatazz explosions and fight scene. Which glues one's eyes to the TV for days as they do their best to capture every single flash of it.
All these hair-raising features offered by A Revenge Filled with Warfare made it Theo's go-to show to feast his eyes on up until Adventure Buddies came into existence and introduced to him.
**
While engaging in his fun times playing in the backyard, Theo caught sight of a bee flying into the garden from his field of version. The bee most likely came from the bee nest on the mango tree next to the pool.
The youngster gingerly trod when following the honey maker from a safe distance. He wanted to examine where its destination would be. Although Theo had been stung by a bee once before, it seemed like curiosity still had not killed the cat just yet, or should one say click the wings.
The bee had eventually left the eyes of the eager to know youngster after a short period until it completely vanished. Theo sighed yet again. He did not know where the wandering bee ended up. Into the garden was an option, albeit, he considered twice before entering.
But the youngster was slightly relieved that he did not get stung this time around. Since his mother would have been upset if she figured out, he was provoking bees again and troubling her flowers. Theo took a little peek into the garden, did not spend long in there, nevertheless.
After Theo left the blooming house, he headed straight to the stone pond to feed the fishes, or he likes to call it.
"Operation: Feeding of the Fishess."
There are two Koi fishes in the pond, and it is his responsibility to feed them. Koi are a winsome eye-catching pond fish with varieties of colors that will surely get visitors' attention and not only them.
But Theo was also aware of their beauty. That is why the youngster made it his duty to feed them so he can cherish the Koi swimming around in the pond.
When the feeding of the Koi fishes mission accomplished, Theo carried on with his playtime activities for a few more hours.
As the day came slowly to the end, he flew the single rotator helicopter drone that his father made for him for a brief moment till it got stuck up in the mango tree.
Theo tried with all his best efforts to get it down from the tree, but his endeavors seemed to be in vain. He was incapable of retrieving the drone from the tree.
Following all his attempts and the failures he had encountered, the youngster seemingly gave up on the drone and laid down on the turfy lawn, a sheet he had to pretend pirate used as a grass spread.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
8 190Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
