《I am Stellar》Chapter 12: Mission Completion Reward
Advertisement
It was evening. The sun has starting to descent slowly, as the street began to clear up compare to when it was noon.
After Sherlock stayed at the pub for a few hours, he left to check out the apartment.
The street at this time has begun to light up with the help of the lamp rooted alongside of the sidewalk. So far, he has not seen any cars, mainly people walking back and forth.
Sherlock approaches the building across the street, slightly bigger than the pub in terms of height, as there’s glass window on the 2nd floor. In some parts, there’s pipe running along the small gap in between the two building wires stretching from the alley toward the back of the apartment.
“Ah, you must be Mr. Sherlock. Boss Sabine already made the call beforehand regarding your monthly payment.” He opened the door, greeted by a young feminine voice.
“That’s right, my room number is 207, correct?” Sherlock spoke in a courtesy voice, smiling as he ask.
“Yes, your room is number 207. My name is Lena, if you need anything, ring the bell.” Lena, scribble down on an attendance sheet, holding a small pen in her white palm as she say.
After talking for a moment, Sherlock left toward the second floor.
With the keys giving to him by William, he opened the lock, entering the room.
The room was not fancy in the slightness. In the left corner is a bed, the wall was plainly painted in a gray tone, while there’s a small table in the other corner of the room with a few books stacked atop the shelves.
Click.
He closed the door and sat down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress as he look outside the window, seeing that the night is slowly approaching.

Finally, he was free from stress for the time being.
Almost a day has passed since he escaped from the Union, he hasn’t had a blink of rest or sleep.
Sherlock lay down on the bed, no longer feeling as paranoid.
He sat back up and opened his interface. It was finally time for him to complete the mission.
[Mission Introduction: After waking up from a coma, you found yourself captured as an experimental subject. With the desire to escape, you must fight for your freedom!
(Complete)
Rating: C
Objective: Escape from the facility alive.
Rewards: +1000 Exp. Steam Rifle (High Grade D). +9 Skill Points]
[+1000 Exp.]
[Steam Rifle (High Grade D)]
[+9 Skill Points]
In front of him, a rifle appeared out of thin-air, landing on his lap.
He picked it up, feeling the heavy weight of the rifle, clearly it was heavier than the one he has been using until now.
The coil on the barrel looks more intricate than before, meanwhile, the glass tube of the barrel looks more sturdy and clear, Sherlock couldn’t help but wonder how this technology work.
According to the interface, there’s a difference between a low grade and high grade even within a single Grade, such as [Low Grade Gravity Field] from Moriarty. Therefore, he can safely assume that the higher the grade, the better quality it is.
Satisfied with the reward, he wanted to take a look at his skill points, but interrupted by another change in his mission status.
[Survive encounter with Moriarty, drawing reward…]
[Reward: A random draw of Moriarty skill]
Thump!
Sherlock almost drop the rifle in his hand on the floor as he stare at the blue box floating in front of him.
Moriarty, he was someone Sherlock feared the most. Not to mention his strange arsenal of skills, [Low Grade Gravity] really gave him a scare. It was partly due to luck and a few unexpected elements that he escaped, if not, that skill would have pinned him down greatly.
As such, he was elated to receive such an unexpected reward.
[Do you wish to draw a random skill from Moriarty?]
Sherlock rubbed his hand together, praying for lucks before moving his finger toward the [Yes] button.
[Drawing random skills…]

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
