《The Dark Times》Article 18: Lost Property News

Melting Pot Dell the Midlands repository of lost property for the ley line network has announced today that they are teaming up with the Patch and Sew company that cater for the disintegrating and discerning Zombie.
‘We have such a large collection of lost limbs and clothing and it seems a shame to simply throw it away when it can be recycled,” said Mr S. Tirpot, manager of the lost property office. “We do have to wait the years grace for collection of course, but after that we are free to dispose of the property as we like.”
Mrs C. Reel of Patch and Sew said, “It seemed only logical to team up with Melting Pot Dell. They acquire a number of suitably dis-animated parts over a year, and gain a large variety of clothing that can replace the worn-out remnants on our clients.”
The deal has been brokered for an unspecified sum but both sides have agreed that it is reasonable. Mr Tirpot has pointed out that a large part of the yearly payment will go towards the upkeep of the network, something that has become very necessary in recent decades.
For Patch and Sew it has expanded their ability to provide a bespoke service to their clients, but without the costly outlay to bribe undertakers to look the other way while they pick and chose parts.
For those who want to know more about Patch and Sew’s lines look no further than Lady Dee Dar of Mulch End who was sporting some of the first fruits of the new deal, at the bi-annual Rock and Groan Ball last week. She was stunning in a pair of slim legs and a nineteen seventies flower power slit robe to show them off.
Other high-end items up for grabs, is a complete head of golden blonde hair, worn out eyes in the skies, a large selection of dark glasses, and a multitude of hands and feet that have been severed off during transit of the network due to mis-use. Please note that the enchantment has been taken off the eyes in the skies for low altitude use.

8 127The Dungeon Draft (A LitRPG novel)
All families must enlist one child into the draft at age ten to contribute to their survival. Few make it through the six months of mandatory service inside one of the numerous dungeons surrounding them. However, those that are chosen can greatly improve their families status depending on how long they survive, and most strive to provide for their loved ones even if their chances are slim of ever seeing them again. Three children from different factions are thrown together by fate, and perhaps a fair amount of luck, into a dangerous dungeon where nothing is as they expected. No one believes they will come out alive, but with tenacity and unexpected teamwork, they might just have a shot of proving eveyone wrong.
8 191The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
