《Playtime》chapter ten

I woke up wrapped up in the covers of the bed. I sit up and see a bandage on my arm. The pain wasn’t there, but then I see the syringe. Of course. I thought. They drugged me. I stand up, feeling the frigid feeling of the wooden floor beneath my bare feet. I stagger over, still feeling lightheaded. I tried to open it; wanting air, I felt like I was suffocating. I clutched the window before pounding. Panic struck me.
“Whoa, whoa.” A voice said catching my attention. “We don’t need you to break the window.” I step back as Seok-Jin opens the window, letting in the cold October air. I take in a breath and felt myself relax.
“So, are you a vampire too?” I ask feeling slightly confident. He chuckles.
“No. There are only two vampires in our group. Taehyung and Namjoon. I’m the Devil.” I tense up at the mention of what he was. He shook his head. “Not literally. I get called that since I’m the most violent and dark.” I cross my arms as he rubs my back.
“For a demon, you sure are friendly.” I say point of factly. He rolls his eyes.
“It’s for Yoongi’s sake.” he states, making me curious.
“Yoongi?” I start. He nods but before he could answer, a beam of bright light hit him. I gasp as I see Angelia appear. Her blond hair hung in her face as her luminescent eyes looked at me kindly.
“Why you little-”
“Ah, watch your language.” she says brushing herself off. “That’s the kind of language that will land you a place next to the devil.” I flinch as I look at Seok-Jin’s face. Emotionless, yet I caught a glimpse of hurt.

“Reality check, lighty.” he said before grabbing her. “I already work alongside with the devil.” She yelps in pain as he tightened his grip. I watched in horror as her wings begin to turn a night black. She tries to pull away, but only manages to hurt herself.
“Please,” I beg. “Don’t kill her.” Seok-Jin gives me a look that said he didn’t care. I look down. “Let me talk to her first.” Seok-Jin released her, and throws her toward me. I grab her and watch him leave with a slam from the door. I look at my angel friend with sympathy.
“Surprise…” she says weakly. I help her to the bed and lay her down, only to have her scream in pain. “It hurts!!” she screams. I hurry to help her to the floor. I felt a bit of annoyance at the fact that she couldn’t touch a single thing in this room.
“What are you doing here?” I ask tapping my foot. I was getting impatient, and frankly annoyed that she’d have to ruin the moment where I was about to get information. She weakly gets up and pats me on the shoulder.
“I came to give you advice.” I give her a blank look. What advice would I seriously need? Sure, I was trapped with seven servants of the Devil, but lately they had all given me my space and respect that I requested. Yoongi had been less violent, but the again, it was when he wasn’t drunk.
“What advice?” I finally asked, curious at what she had found out.
“How to kill Yoongi.” I gasp. A stab of jealousy, protectivness and anger swelled up inside of me. I couldn’t find the strength to kill him. His scarlet eyes had made a mark on me. I lost myself in his gaze; the gaze that started the whole thing. His cold exterior was what drew me to him. He was mysterious, and I was going to find out what he was hiding.

“No,” I say without thinking. “You aren’t killing Yoongi.” I couldn’t help but glare at her. Her angel exterior didn’t seem so innocent anymore. I shake my head. “Get out.” I turn my back to her. Hate. It filled my soul.
‘That’s right,’ yoongi’s voice echoed in my head. ‘Send her away’. I listened. I wanted to. I needed to. It was like I couldn’t live without his voice in my head.
“What?” she says stunned. “But-”
“I said leave!” I scream chucking a vase. “I don’t want your help anymore.”
“I’ll kill him myself then.” she says. That’s when I snapped. I grab her arm, hurting her. But right now, I didn’t care. I was too pissed to give a crap.
“You kill him, and I’ll kill you.” I say before turning away agian.
I heard rustling before an ‘ow’ and when I turned, I saw my only best friend leave. Yoongi was ruining my life. I sigh and look at the ground. I was about to call for Yoongi when a flashed me in the eyes. Rubbing them, I groan in annoyance as a seal floated in front of me.
Opening it, I silently curse.
“Great. The counsel.”

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.

Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
