《The Infinite Item box IS the best thing someone can have on an adventure》Chapter 18 - Shock

Harrian was rushed towards the medical room and was immediately put into a metal coffin with a blue liquid filled to the brim. Harrian was quickly put into it and mages began to use [Rune markings] on the coffin.
It was quickly sealed and dressed with certain types of bandage and cloth. Tifian ordered it to her medical chambers and quickly, it disappeared into the castle. Atogin and Enar weren't able to see Harrian, so instead, they went to see Nicko.
After a while of walking, they found the medical room, and they saw him. The [Dragon-Kin] had a special apparatus on, imbued with [Gale affinity], it made it so, he didn't need to breathe harder. The apparatus was connected to a barrel filled with some gas, which helped Nicko's insides heal as well. Although still conscious, he couldn't move, but Nickos eyes widened when he saw Enar and Atogin.
The doctors around him began to unlock restraints around Nicko, which he didn't resist. After the doctor took them off, Nicko began to stretch his hands.
"Mister Jern, remember, be careful, we almost had to cut off your arms, next time it'll even be more likely that you won't be able to move for days," The doctor said.
"No worry, but my hands do feel numb, I wonder why?" He replied.
"Your body has recovered, but your [magic] hasn't, I would say you should try this, it's a prototype," The doctor handed Nicko a wooden cube, each side was divided into nine pieces and a different colour on each side. "I believe a merchant made this, it's called a 'Rubix cube',"
"Nice, I'll try and solve it." Nicko smiled and got up from where he was sitting.
The [dragon-kin] began to walk up to Enar and Atogin, quickly solving the Rubix cube twice in a minute. He chucked the cube at Atogin which he quickly got, and immediately shuffled it.
"Almost three months and you're still as sharp as ever with this," Atogin under armed threw the cube back at Nicko.
"I still can't believe I won, it was quite hard, I believe that Harrian and Kaloko won as well?"
Enar and Atogin just then stood there, silently. Enar took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Atogin won, yes, and Harrian suffered worse wounds than you, and… Kaloko, she,"
"Kaloko has turned to the earth now, hasn't she?" Nicko looked down.
"She..., yes she turned to dust at the hands of a [Dark Elf], I'm… I am sorry,"
Nicko clenched his heart and tears began to well up in his eyes, he lost feeling in his legs, dropping the Rubix cube as well. Although it didn't break, Nicko's will did, he was crying uncontrollably, Enar kneeled and put her hands together, closed her eyes and began to utter a prayer.
A ray of light shined through a window and hit Nicko which calmed him down immediately. He got up and looked at Enar.

"What about the people we fought? Where are they!" Nicko asked, his attitude completely flipped.
"You killed your opponent, the girl I fought is in a coma, Ligo is fine, and most of Aelors body was vaporized due to Harrian,"
"Wait, the guy who killed Kaloko is still here?"
"I believe so,"
"Out of my way, I'm going to end this man's life,"
"Nicko, as the leader of the [hero's party], I order you to stop, revenge isn't the correct answer!"
"But they still broke the law by coming back here, so I'll give them a beating!"
Atogin then quickly appeared in front of Nicko, he used [Limit Break], making himself much stronger. He tried to push Nicko back, but it didn't help, instead, Nicko swiped at Atogin, pushing him aside like a toothpick.
Atogin wondered how strong Nicko was now, but it wasn't his only thought of stopping him. The [demihuman] used his skills in alchemy and changed some of his feathers to [Impure Swiftium] and flicked them at Nicko.
Like a needle, they pierced Nickos skin and he stopped moving and fell, Nicko was laying still on the ground. Atogin stretched his hand before squatting at the hands of Nicko and looking him in the eyes.
"I have two jobs, and I learnt a lot from both, in [alchemy] I can now create a paralyzing liquid and in [assasination], I can make a person make parts of their body numb just by hitting them lightly in their area, both make it so, you can't move for about thirty minutes," Atogin then smiled before walking away.
He met up with Enar before trying to look for Ligo, Rosetta and what was part of Aelor. They went to where they were waiting and nothing was there. Atogin and Enar searched for a while before finding a note with a wax seal on the floor. Atogin picked it up, and with his nocturnal eyes, he saw that the seal had a number on it, seventy-two. Without any thought, Atogin opened the note without any hesitation and began to read it.
[Hello [hero's party]]
[So great to see you, I have to say, thanks for incapacitating Rosetta and ending Tito and Aelor's life]
[It's a shame we had to go so suddenly, but now we know more about you]
[Next time we meet, don't expect any mercy or any weakness]
[Sincerely, Ligo and Co]
Atogin crushed the paper and burnt it in his hand before Enar could read it. She complained, but something interesting. The wax seal began to create a visible and strong current of wind. Atogin and Enar braced for it and it hit.
The wind coming from the piece of paper began to make cuts within Enar and Atogin. Even though he was weak, Atogin soon had enough of it and began to use [Limit Break] to put it all into his [Mana].
"[Ancient Magic: Gale Affinity: Prehistoric Wind!]," Atogin lowered his hands and a massive force erupted from everywhere, pushing Enar back and ending the strong current of wind. Atogin then began to cough up blood and fell onto the ground, his skin turned discoloured and his eyes had bags underneath them. He looked back at Enar and rubbed his right hand against the back of his head.

"Sorry, I guess my anger from my fight is still there, and my common sense isn't anything either,"
"Don't, you just helped me, and you should be worrying about yourself,"
"Still, it seems that they have left, I guess we have missed them, their group has escaped,"
"Wait, Harrian!"
"You're right!"
"But where are the third princess' medical chambers!"
"I know, follow me."
Atogin then used [Limit Break] to boost his [Stamina], matching Enar's and they began to run to the room. The duo began to run up flights of stairs and turned sharply around corners. Atogin began to slow down and stopped outside and saw a familiar face.
Gold was at the door as well with a small box in his hand, with his was a small figure covered in bandages with a black coat, covering most of its body. Gold immediately saw the duo and turned to face them.
"Long time no see Atogin, Enar, the [heroes of Kilvi],"
"How do you-" Enar was cut off.
"I'm a [merchant], of course, I hear rumours all across the country, it's a shame what happened to Kaloko,"
"But where were you before you came here,"
"I went to see a [Shopkeeper] that Harrian recommended, he was good, then Harrian sent me a [Message], he was lucky I was in Newtown at the time,"
Gold fidgeted with his status board and shared the information with Atogin and Enar.
[Hey Gold,]
[Sorry for this sudden favour]
[But I'm afraid I need you to come back to the capital]
[Aelor is back, and I think I might die]
[I know some of my team will survive, and I want you to meet me at my doorstep]
[If you're in Newtown, pick something up at Mitch's for me, then bolt your carriage straight here]
[Sincerely, Harrian]
[P.S: If I do die, you can have all my Sals, and if I don't, I will pay you a lot]
"Typical Harrian," Atogin sighed. "Trying to make a joke,"
"I took a direct route which opened up, cutting my journey to two hours, during that time, I met up with Cordelie, she was part of Aelors group, before,"
"Before she was sacrificed," Enar looked down and clenched her fists. "If only, if only I did it differently,"
The bandaged girl approached Enar and hugged her. Enar loosened up and looked down on her. In a parched and weakened tone, Cordelie looked through the bandages and began to speak.
"He was always easily swayed by power, there was nothing you could've done, but there is something you probably knew, the [Evil gods] have awoken, but still weak, Aelor was their first guinea pig, and they'll go after more and more people, so be careful," She spoke slowly.
The doors opened and two guards allowed them in, keeping a firm gaze on Cordelie who looked suspicious in bandages. Gold saw the third princess and immediately kneeled, the four behind him did the same.
Tifian told them to rise and came up to them, Gold held out the wooden bow and lowered his head.
"Harrian asked me to get this for him, just in case this happened, please accept it," Gold stuttered. Tifian took the box and examined it before opening it, what was inside surprised her.
A small golden shot glass, with a small bottle of what seemed to be methylated spirits, except it wasn't. Tifian immediately rested it on the table and poured the spirits into the shot glass and ran to the closed coffin.
A blue light shined through her facial veils and the bandages ripped apart and the coffin slid open. The liquid was there no more, and instead, Rache was resting with ripped clothes and a top hat on top of some blue cocoon spun around with silk, probably from Rache.
Tifian made everything that wasn't the silk cocoon begin to levitate and she poured the shot glass onto it. She stood back and so did everyone else, waiting for a reaction. The coffin began to shake and crack, Enar made a barrier out of light and stood in front of everyone.
The silk began to melt and a green chrysalis appeared, it began to shake and a hand popped out. It was pink and transparent which worried some people, but it soon regained a normal colour. Soon, the hand began to tear through the Chrysalis and it soon cracked, parts of it going everywhere.
Everyone looked away avoiding the debris, and afterwards there he was. Enar put down her barrier and everyone looked.
Long pink hair reaching down to his shoulder blades, his body now stronger, and right eye with a white pupil and black sclera. Harrian was completely healed, although confused. He got up and went out of the coffin, he picked up his burnt and little clothes and dressed before putting on his tophat whilst Rache made her way onto his right shoulder.
Harrian looked at everybody and saw Gold, Cordelie, Enar, Atogin and Tifian. He walked up to them and quickly woke himself by slapping his cheeks. He went up to Gold and hugged him, tears welling from his eyes.
"You saved me, thank you," Harrian said childishly.
"No need to thank me, I would always help a friend, at a cost," Gold patted Harrians head, but something weird happened.
Gold had to pull hard to free his right hand from Harrians long straight pink hair. The [Dark Magician] quickly backed up and looked at himself and wondered to himself before asking out loud.
"Where is Dropley?"

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.
