《Imagining Online: The game》V1 Chapter 6: Sneaky enough?
Advertisement
Rein appeared in the ruined teleport building he had entered when he left the dwarven capital. It was as rundown as before of course but this time he saw something he didn't notice last time he was here.
It was a dagger, a pitch black dagger that would usually be left unnoticeable. Even tho I say it was pitch black dagger when Rein lifted it up outside towards the sun it glinted red.
Rein equipped the dagger to see its name. In Imagining Online, unless someone told them the name, one would have to equip an item to see its name.
-Attackx1.5Agilityx2Durability-DescriptionWhat is it doing here? No one knows, or do you know?RequirementLv 50, has to have a sneak skill.
'Sneak skill? How do you get a sneak skill? By sneaking around? I didn't know that equipment could have requirements. It sure has nice stats tho feels like over the level of Imagining and an awesome name. Even if it has a requirement I can still equip it huh. I probably can't use it tho.'
He thought as he inspected the dagger.
*Ding*
You have acquired the skill:[Inspection]As you level this skill up you will be able to inspect and see info about unidentified items as well as other items without equipping them.
'This skill seems really useful. I wonder if I can use it one people' Rein thought and inspected a dwarf not to far from him.
[Error]Failed to inspect animate object.
'Doesn't seem like it, maybe I should sneak around a little to get the sneak skill. The best place to do that in is of course a place with high security. Like the castle for example'.
He sighed as he took a step towards the big brown stone castle in the middle of the capital.

If you took a quick glance at it you would think it was giant stone spikes sprouting together upwards to the cave ceiling in the middle of the city. Rein had never seen such architecture before.
He arrived at the back door, it was a wooden double door that was 3 meters tall and 2 meters wide. On each side there were 2 dwarven guards clad in what seemed to be reinforced leather.
'hm, sneaking past these guys might pose a problem'
Rein thought as he looked towards the gate.
'Let's wait until the shift change. They got to have one right?'
It took an hour before the guards started to walk away to get some rest.
'Oi oi, shouldn't they guard it constantly even if it is a back gate'
He carefully snuck in.
Right inside was a garden, noticing that someone was there he quickly hid behind a bush on the right side of the gate.
Seems like they didn't hear him or see him for that matter. There were 7 men of one race each. Celestian, elemental, beast and human etc.
They stood in a ring discussing something. 'Suspicious, let's listen and see what they are up to.'
"How's it going with that thing?" (Beastman)
"Hm, we need something to transfer it but otherwise it is as good as finished" (Dwarf)
"Then how will we transfer it? If we manage to find a way then we can finally put our plans into action" (Fairy)
"How about we send it by mail order?" (Human)
"No, we want it to appear on the body if possible so that can only be a last resort action" (Celestian)
"Then how about sneaking in and putting it on the body" (Elemental)
"No way, that is to dangerous. Do you wanna be taken as a thief? (Dwarf)

"Then the only way is to keep researching it" (Beast)
"I'll take care of it, care to join me dwarf?" (Celestian)
"Dwarf this dwarf that, why not just call me by my in game name?" (Celestian)
"'Cause dwarf suits you." (Beast)
The group of seven started to walk towards the castle fighting.
'That was interesting, wonder what "the thing" is tho'
Rein thought, relaxing his back against the castle wall.
'But "put it on the body", "sneak in", "mail order" what the hell are they?!'
*Ding*
You have acquired the skill
[Sneak]
You are now able to sneak around dark places to hide your presence. As you level the skill up the better you can hide.
You have acquired the skill:[Sneak]You are now able to sneak around dark places to hide your presence. As you level the skill up the better you can hide.
'At least I got the sneak skill. Now then lets get to level 50'
Rein thought as he stood up and stretched.

After waiting for another shift change and then sneaking out Hiro had made his lasange and was now waiting for his family to get home.
The clock showed 1pm when he had finished everything he needed to prepare.
On the table was lasange, a salad made of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and yellow paprika, ketchup, 1.5 litre package of milk and a jug of water.
It didn't take long before Rein heard the doorbell ring.
"Nu är vi hemma!" (Sakura) (AN: Felt like putting in some swedish. This means "We're home!" or "Now we're home!". If I translate word for word "Now are we home!")
"Welcome home mom, dad and Kira" (Hiro)
"What have you made for us Hiro? I'm starving" (Henrik)
"Just get your things to your room and then we will eat dad" (Hiro)
"Did you have it nice being alone home Hiro" (Kira)
"Hm, it was a little loonley without my little sister here but otherwise it was fine" (Hiro)
""Hey what about us"" (Sakura & Henrik)
Hiro laughed and went back into the dining area while his mother, father and sister went to their
rooms with their luggage.
The house they live in is a red house with wood panel. It has 3 bedrooms, one for Hiro, one for Kira and one for their parents. 1 Bathroom complete with a shower and bathtub in one, 2 sinks and 1 toilet. A kitchen, pretty much open-planned with the dining area and the entrence to the house. A laundry room and a living room. (AN: The house XD)
"Oh, lasange!" (Kira)
Kira, Sakura and Henrik had arrived and sat down by the table.
"Looks good, *Sniff* and smells good to" (Henrik)
"You've done great Hiro" (Sakura)
"Thanks mom but let's eat!" (Hiro)
They ate and they talked, Hiro mentioned that he had bought Imagine Online but he didn't say anything of his cheat ability. His mom, dad and sister talked about their trip, like when they went to the castle or bought some ice cream at a ice cream cafe.
It was a nice homely family lunch.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Cursed Forest
This is a high fantasy story with horror elements, featuring the map-maker and half-elf Aspen, and his friend Sekafi, a hyena-like humanoid as they are sent on a mission to map out unknown territory and encounter a monster. Soon they're involved in something larger and more dangerous than they ever wanted. What happens next, you'll find out when you read. This is the first story I'm publishing here on RoyalRoad. I wanted to try this site out since it's more geared towards fantasy. I've been at Wattpad for about 2 years under the same name, but since I'm not writing romance I haven't gotten much steam there. This is my latest story, and it's also published on Wattpad in the book called Short Stories. I wanted to start with something new and unfinished here. I'll try and update at least once every other week, sometimes more often. ~RiisingNovels
