《Conquest Online》Opening Scene : Betrayal
Advertisement
" We have reached the end, Lord Kalmar "
His sharp sword was pointing on the fat man's heart, his large belly was trembling.
" I have got to say that you managed to pull one over me by baiting the shadow assassins, I lost 3 generals .
But petty tricks can only get you so far, In the end you fell to my mighty sword "
Jamie's plan seemed to be working in perfection, but just as he was about to land the finishing blow on the Kalmar's Lord.... just as he was about to become the first player to conquer a medium sized city, a poisoned dagger came from behind him and reached his heart .
" Argrhhhh, third uncle .. but why ? "
he turned his look towards the man behind him but blood came out of his mouth and he fell on his knees.
The tall man stood behind him wearing leather armour , he had blood on his hands and released his sinister laughter .
He no longer needed to hide his ugly appearance, after all he had finally achieved his purpose .
Jamie's eyes showed anger but he was unable to utter a single word .
the tip of that dagger had almost torn through his chest, not even his high limb regeneration skill could stop the spread of the poison .
he looked around but the other players sworn to him started laughing at his face.
Nobody seemed surprised or tried to help him.
so this was the reason third uncle suggested they attacked with his own forces .
how naive he had been, he lost everything and couldn't even scream out his pain.
" YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS third UNCLEEEEE "
He tried screaming with the voice of his mind but such thing was not possible after all, his vision blacked and he dropped down dead .

___________________
As soon as he woke up he experienced a really bad headache .
“ Was that all just a bad dream ? “
He tried to touch his neck but it didn’t feel wet, if this was a dream he would have been a lot more sweaty .
He gathered his strength to stand up but he couldn’t, his left leg wasn’t budging.
“That’s a familiar feeling.....
But the doctor said it should have all been fixed .. Wait “
He tried to look for the scars left by the operation but they weren’t there .
He finally managed to support his body and stand up in front of the mirror but his appearance shocked him even more .
“Shabby clothes and messed up hair .
Who could have pulled such a prank? “
He wanted to scream but couldn’t.
“Did I lose my voice again ? “
Could this be punishment in the after life?
Forced to relive our worst memories.
“Young master cripple, the family head is looking for you “
“Jason , stop it ! why are you calling him young master cripple ? Do you want to get in trouble ? “
“Hahh, what is he gonna do? snitch on us? With what voice ? “
The door was opened and two of his cousins from the branch family entered .
The older one was called Jason and the other one Till .
Both used to suck up to him before the car accident that took the lives of his parents and left him on that state .
Jason pushed him down, slapped him a couple of times till his cheeks got red and then grabbed and supported him to walk .
“You just had to slap him, you’re a terrible person man . How does your heart even allow you do mess with your cripple cousin”
“Oh for God’s sake Till, shut up.
You used to hate him just as much as I do so dont play saint now that he got crippled “
It didn’t take long for them to get to the great hall, Jason and Till were strong enough to grab Jamie with a single hand so he wasn’t even qualified to be dead weight right now .
“Great, my good nephew came . Bring him here and support him to sit next to me “
That voice, it was him ...
that fucking traitor !

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
