《All Things Must End》Chapter 10: Beware The Darkness
Advertisement
The teacher didn’t actually take Milo and Renjamin to their room. He did for the other students, but he left them out. He said it was because he had to go work on the upcoming classes, but Milo knew that was just a lie.
Milo could see the fear that was on the teachers face when he spoke about the 'Haunted Dormitories.' Milo wasn't really sure how to feel with all of this. Was he supposed to be afraid like the teacher and Renjamin. He couldn't help but think how he had never actually seen the building before, so why would be scared of it.
This mindset that Milo had, was both a blessing and a curse. Milo would suffer great lengths because of this mindset. Fear is not a bad thing, it is there after all to keep us alive in dangerous situations. Milo would also make incredible gains because of this uncanny outlook on life. Only by living through and not backing down can one profit in a deadly situation.
Milo and Renjamin had to walk to their dorms on their own. The only nice part about this was that they could look around the world that the school was in. They weren't pressured by the teacher tasty in the group and not fall behind. They were also given a map.
This map wasn't supposed to be given to the students. It was a facility map that showed the entire campus. This was also no ordinary paper or plastic map it was electronic. It showed the ENTIRE school campus which was mind boggling large. How large you might ask? It was so large that it took up around three percent of this entire world. Three percent might not sound like a lot, but only three percent had actually been explored in millions of years.

When both of them were walking together Renjamin asked Milo in a shaking voice.
"Do you really think were we will be staying is haunted?"
Milo responded to Renjamin not really caring about how he would feel.
"Yea probably, I couldn't imagine any other reason for the teacher to say that. This school is already so strange and fantastic ' too hard to think it might be haunted."
These were the most non-reassuring words Renjamin had ever heard. He was expecting Milo to say it wasn't true, but he was completely wrong. Now Renjamin just felt even more scared, he was even shaking profusely.
They were both taking minor detours on the way while walking towards their rooms. Milo wanted to backtrack and look at the crystal tower they passed before, but Renjamin didn't want to and wouldn't let Milo go.
They saw a multitude of beautiful sights along the campus. In one spot there was a massive bird-cage that looked to be miles long. When the both of them looked inside, it was full of different kinds of birds. There were emerald-green ones, blazing purple ones, and the most amazing was one that looked to be the size of an elephant and had every color of the rainbow and more on it. This wasn't the only sight they saw though.
A forest stretched out for as far as one could see. It was a deep piercing green that almost blinded one to look at. The trees were so tall they looked like they would pierce the heavens. There was a thick fog that seemed to permeate the entire forest, it almost seemed to be trapped within as none of it leaked out.
There were sounds washing over the two of them when they were walking by. Loud guttural roars rang in their ears. Almost unnoticeable squeaks were heard coming from different directions, it sounded like the small furry friends were holding a conversation. Squawks rang out above the trees as the birds were singing their evening songs to the joy or dismay of the animals bellow. A sense of tension seemed to permeate the area and a slight hint fear could be felt. Something only Milo noticed was an almost unrecognizable bloodlust that locked on to the both of them as they walked by.

Even though they could hear all these noises not a single animal could be seen. It was almost as if they were hiding from them, which they were. The animals at the edge of the forest were horrified of humans as they knew about their dreadful Singulas.
When Milo and Renjamin were almost passed the forest, Renjamin looked into the forest and saw a ghostly apparition. Renjamin was petrified at this sight and couldn't even form words to speak. Milo looked over at Renjamin and saw his profuse shaking only get worse, he also noticed a cold sweat pouring off of him. Milo was confused by this, so he looked into the forest also, what he saw was trail that winded in to the darkness. There was a sign besides path with archaic symbols written on it. Milo had never seen these symbols but for some reason could understand what it said.
"Beware the darkness young one. For those that look, can never look away. Beware the darkness young one. All those who see, shall never see again. Beware the darkness... For when one stares into the abyss, the abyss stares back at thee."
Milo was confused by this cryptic message that was left on the sign. Were the sign said "beware the darkness" for the third time it appeared to be carved away. Milo had no idea why he could read this, or what any of it meant, but he did have this feeling that what it said was incredibly important. Oddly enough it felt like just this one sign held more significance than everything he had learned in his entire life.
Milo looked over to Renjamin and asked him. "Renjamin can you read what that sign says."
Milo pointed to the sign when he said this, Renjamin followed Milos finger with his eyes where it was pointing. Renjamin had a quizzical look on his face and asked Milo.
"Milo are you ok, there is no sign were your pointing only a slight dent in the ground."
Milo was just about to refute Renjamin when he looked back to where the sign was. What Renjamin said had been right there was only a slight indent in the ground with a square piece of stone in the middle of it.
Milo felt he must have made up what he had seen, but life is not so simple. Like a lightning bolt striking him, he realized the stone where he thought the sign was, was the same material as what the sign was made with.
Did he really make it up?

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
