《Dark Chronicles》CH 44 Frost & Flame
Advertisement
Damn this capital is huge I've been lost in these streets since I arrived a few hours ago.I have to reach the stadium before the match or I will be disqualified.I should have brought Netherwing wing with me,but he seemed so happy in his nest that I didn't want to disturb him.
I take a look around at my surroundings, by the looks of it I have somehow ended up in the slums of the capital.I continue to walk through the streets until I see something I really don't like.Three males looking in their thirties holding weapons against two kids, one is holding a long stick as a weapon while the other one is only clutching his stomach.
"So what do you say no brat going to come join us"
"Fuck off you guys are trash"
"You little brat"
One of the thugs goes to hit the child with the sword in his hand.Before he can come close a grab ahold of his arm.
"Hey let go you asshole"
"You know I really hate bullies especially ones who pick on little kids"
I start to squeeze down on his arm,popping sounds and screams start coming from the man.One of his mates comes charging at me with a sword.I Form a bullet of blood in my other hand and shoot it straight into the charging fools chest sending him flying into the wall behind him, he's just lucky these kids are around or I would have killed him.
"Let go of my arm you shithead"
"You have a very foul mouth maybe I should just shut you up."
I grab the man by the throat and hold him up in the air as a squeeze,he begins to try and claw at my hand with his one good hand.

"Stop that right now"
Another one of the shitheads charges at me with a sword,I hold out my hand to deal with him.But before I can the little kid with the stick hits him from behind and keeps him on the floor by beating him with the wooden stick.
"Don't worry mister I got this one"
I get a closer look at the kid now he has red hair shaped into spikes, his age looks to be around ten years old his.I take my eyes off him and back onto the man in my hand he is starting to loose all continuous,soon his eyes roll into the back of his eyes and he passes out.
I look back over at the boy and he has already beaten the other guy into submission with his wooden stick.I let go of my guy, he drops to the floor.I walk over to the kid with the spikes in his hair, who is still beating the unconscious guy.
"Hey kid I think he is down"
"Really, I think he needs a few more whacks"
The kid hits the thug a few more times then stops.
"There now he's down.Thanks for the help mister we really appreciate it"
He gives me a bow.Which I think is unnecessary I was doing what I felt like which was hurting some people nothing to be thanked for.He walks over to his friend and tries to help him up but his friend just clutches his stomach and falls to the floor.
"What's wrong with your friend"
" Those thugs punched him in the stomach because he wouldn't join their gang"
"I can heal him if you like"
"Really"
"Yeah all I have to do is touch the wound and I can heal it"

I walk over to the friend and kneel down so I can touch the wound.The Spikey haired boy lifts the other boys shirt.I get a good look at the other kid as well now he also has spiked hair but his is a blue color,He looks around the same age as the other kid too.Could they be brothers?
I can finally see the wound,it a big purple bruise that looks incredibly painful they must have really his this kind hard.They should be really happy these kids are around or a would kill them very painfully.
"Brother what's going on"
"Don't worry Frost this mister said he can heal your wound so just stay still ok"
"Ok I trust you, brother"
So they are brothers.I place my hand over the wound and start to connect to the young boys blood stream using my blood magic,once that's done I start the healing process which is just me using his blood stream that connects all over his body to speed up his bodies own natural healing powers.It doesn't take long for the wound to disappear and the boy to be completely healed.
"It doesn't hurt any more incredible"
"Wow, you really did it mister thank you"
It doesn't take long for both boys to get to their feet so they can start bowing to me and saying thank you over and over again.
"Really kids you don't have to so thank you so much.Because you're going to repay me"
"Repay you mister how"
"Whatever it is me and my brother will be happy to do it"
"Great then you too are going to show me the way to the stadium"
"The stadium mister"
"Yes the one that's holding the [Grand combat tournament]"
"Oh yes that stadium we now it, we can definitely show you the way"
"Good let's go then"
The kids start leading me through the streets.
"So mister why do you want to go to the stadium"
The red haired one asks me.The blue haired one quickly hits him over the head"
"Flame it's rude to ask people their personal business.Sorry about that sir"
"Oww did you have to hit me so hard Frost."
"Yes how else am I suppose to get anything through that thick head of yours"
"Frost was it.Don't worry about it,my business is nothing special I'm just one of the people competing in the tournament"
"Wow doesn't that mean you are some kind of powerful noble from like a really rich family"
"No, I'm nothing like that I'm just someone with a goal and a lot of luck"
"Oh ok"
"Hey mister what's your name"
"My name is Kaito, what are yours?"
"My name is Flame"
"My name is Frost"
"It's a pleasure to meet you two"
Their parents must have had no creativity when they gave them their names because it's obvious there names are based on their hair color.
HI I hope everyone like the little introduction I gave these two new characters I will add more about them in later chapters

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

8 308Cowboys and Wizards
Currently in queue: Episode 12 in progress. Set in the Aurora: Apocalypse universe.Updated every Wednesday. If it's not updating, I'm working on my other fictions.If nothing's updating, I ran out of whiskey. Be patient. Cowboys and Wizards is a hot mess of garbage that should not be taken seriously by anyone. It’s a vaguely-GameLit spoof of Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomoni (In Another World With My Smartphone) where the MC ends up in another world and fused with his crappy smartphone, mashed up with fantasy western elements. Dungeons & Dragons meets the Wild West in an alternate high-fantasy timeline. Guns & Goblins. Cowboys & Wizards. Locomotives & Dwarves. Don’t expect great writing, accurate numbers, or common sense. Hell, don’t expect anything — just relax and let it happen.
