《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 10 (Part 5)
Advertisement
Back at the unknown lands, Ruth and the others had made it back to the Orso Looba village. Ruth ran to see his father, the chief, who had been eagerly awaiting their arrival in the room with Tommy, still lying down motionless.
After Ruth had shown him the last ingredient used to make the medicine, Amy offered to help them in creating the elixir. The two agreed as Maggie and Antonio waited outside for the process to finish.
The two had stayed silent for a while as they heard muffling inside the hut. Neither of them were sure what to say or do at this point besides wait.
Antonio glanced at Maggie, who stared at the ground with her hands in her pockets. Antonio cleaned his glasses with his shirt and cleared his throat while Maggie paid no attention to him. The curiosity peaked its toll on Antonio. Finally, sick of the silence, he struck up a conversation and ask Maggie a question to free his mind from thinking.
“Um, do you think Tommy will be ok?” He asked, twiddling his fingers.
“He better...” Maggie muttered in response.
It didn’t work; the response just made Antonio worry even more. He couldn’t stop thinking about the situation at hand. Antonio shut his eyes, wishing that he didn’t leave and make his friend all worried. Maybe Tommy wouldn’t have been in that mess in the first place if Antonio had just stayed put or told them where he was going. However, he felt that telling them would have made the others worry more if he had said anything about what he was doing or where he went.
“I need to apologize,” Antonio murmured, staring at his hands.
“Why?” Maggie asked, turning to him. “You didn’t do anything—”
“That’s precisely the point!” He snapped. “I should’ve been there for him, but I...”

“Calm down; I’m sure he’ll forgive you if you just—”
“No, he probably won’t! Do you know anything about Tommy? You can’t even get his name, right!” Antonio roared.
The area got quiet again as the words sunk in both of their ears. Antonio realized what he had said and saw Maggie’s mouth gaped open.
“...Um, I...” He tried to say something to counteract the last sentence, but the words wouldn't come out. He, too, was speechless about what he had just said.
Before the situation could get worse, Ruth slammed the door open as he rushed outside.
“Guys, come inside quick!” He exclaimed.
.-.-.-.
Fearing the worst, Maggie and Antonio rushed inside the hut to see what happened and why the bear got all worked up.
The three stumbled across Tommy, resting on the bed. They turned to Ruth, wondering if it was a success or not.
“So, is he ok? Did he make it out alive?” Maggie asked, shaking the Orso Looba.
“Why... yes, yes he did!” Ruth chirped.
Tommy slowly opened his eyes and twitched his fingers. He noticed everyone watched over him as they all gasped in shock and joy.
“Hey guys, sorry I got you all worried about me...” He answered weakly.
“Thank God, you’re all right!” Maggie sighed in relief.
“Tommy, I...” Antonio tried to hold back the tears in his eyes as he tried to find the right words to finish his sentence.
“It’s ok; there’s no need to be so hard on yourself,” Tommy replied, and turned to Maggie. “Also, thank you.”
“For what?” Maggie asked.
“For making sure I was safe and sound and getting the cure for me. I’m grateful, and I appreciate it...”
“Oh, it was nothing...” She muttered, looking away.
Tommy tried to get up, but Ruth stepped in to remind him he just got healed and needed to rest up. Tommy sighed in defeat as he plopped back down onto his pillow, too tired to protest. Maggie mentioned it was still nighttime and that they should sleep until the sun came back up.
The Orso Loobas prepared beds for Maggie and Antonio, while Amy quietly pondered that the gem collecting would have to wait another day before leaving through the back door, with no one noticing her exit.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.
