《Eternal Dream》Chapter 5 - Encounter With The Red Arrow
Advertisement
When I first opened my eyes, my vision was blurry. My head was spinning as I can hardly get up to see what was going on. The land was filled with green trees all around with a scent of blood. I let out a scream as I tried to move my body away only to feel another soft, slender hand near me.
To my relief, it was my friend Aurora who was by my side, still unconscious. I started to shake her gently from her slumber only to be hit in the face.
Aurora quickly got up with a frown, "I was dreaming of food until you woke me!"
I sighed and frowned, "This is no time to be sleeping and dreaming of such things!"
Then Aurora started at me with shock, pointing at me and trying to speak but no words can out. Slowly, she spoke, "Alicia... Your hair is white and your eyes are as red as Lucifer's!"
"You must be joking." I said, but starting to believe her a bit. I looked around and spot a lake that was a couple feet away from us.
I stood up, wobbled a bit, but managed to get on my feet to walk towards the lake and scan my reflection. My hands covered my face in shock as what Aurora said was true.
"This... Isn't happening..." It can't be, can it? I let out a screech as if my life was ending.
Aurora came by my side and patted my shoulder. "No worries. You're one of those 'Twilight' vampires that can't die in the sun. Ku ku ku ku."
I growled, ready to kill my friend for even relating me to that until I froze in fear. Five, green shaped humanoids with sharp teeth were staring at us. Their clothes were tattered and their body were masculine. Aurora turned too with her eyes widen in shock.

The thing that actually scared us, were their weapons which consisted of clubs, axes, and wooden shields. The biggest one in the middle puffed out his chest, "Gobble, gobble, wish has sone nice little girlish for our pleasish boyz."
The other four goblins also had lustful eyes at us. Aurora hid behind me and whispered into my ears, "I have a plan. Alicia, use your famous sword skills while I run."
I turned and gave her a dumbfounded expression, "Do you see me wielding a sword? And when will you be back?"
"Get a stick. Sticks solve everything. Poke them in the eye. And I'll come back, maybe ten years to your funeral."
The goblins started to laugh as they started to creep over us.
Out of nowhere, a knight in shining armor jumped between us. His blond hair flowing as his hazel eyes glared, "You shall not harm my princess."
Aurora looked around, "Who's he talking to? You know what," she yelled out to him, "THAT'S RIGHT. I'MA PRINCESS. PRINCESS OF THE POOR."
I looked at her.
She shrugged, "What? I like living."
The goblins were dumbfounded by their new foe. I, on the other hand, stared at his armor with a sinister expression, "Aurora, let's steal is armor. Ku ku ku ku."
Aurora gave me a poker face then frowned. "How dare you. Why would you steal his armor? Like just his armor? We need to steal his sword too."
So there went out plan. As the knight was attacking the beast, one of them crawled behind us and hurled his ax at us.
Aurora screamed and threw a rock at it, "HEY. PRINCESS IN DANGER. THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT. I DEMAND EXPLANATIONS NOW!"
The sword rang as it slammed against the ax. The knight forced the beast to lose balance as he slashed it in symmetrical. He then turned to us with a wink at Aurora as he kissed her hand.

Aurora gave a poker face as she nodded slowly, "Princess of the poor is also confused."
"RAH!"
He turned as another attacked with a killer instinct. The knight swung his blade at him, and before he knew it, his stomach gushed out in blood as he ripped the sword out.
The rest of the goblins froze as this time, they were fearful his swordsmanship.
"Leetz retreatezz ands has our revenged blonde fuu." the goblin leader grumbled.
They started to make their escape, but before they could take another step, they low voice called out to them. "Think you can run away from me? You better think again. Haha." the knight laughed.
The aura around him started to emit in gold as he charged up with his sword in hand. With one swing, the four goblins' head rolled on the floor.
The blond knight unsheathed his sword into his scabbard and walked over to us with a smile as he took Aurora's hand and helped her out. He bowed as he introduced himself, "My name is James Black son and I am at your service, my lady."
Aurora didn't utter a word. Instead she whispered to me, "I'm too scared. He has a sword. And you saw what he did to those things. We're gonna die. And I haven't tasted the pastries in France yet!"
I jumped in front and spoke for her, "You may address me as Alicia and my friend over here Aurora. We are grateful for your help, sir knight."
Sir James stood up and puffed out his chest, full of confidence, "Fear not as I shall defend you ladies with my life!"
Aurora mumbled, "Before you kill us and take out lives."
Despite Aurora's suspicion, the man looked very kind with his smile. With my eyes on his armor and sword, we gave a sly smile. Thus, our journey in another world begins!

Is Lucas Destined to Die in the New World?
Lucas imagined himself doing grander things in life; after all, he put in his own blood, sweat, and tears, and got himself a master's degree in English. Maybe he'd be the next best-selling author, or maybe the most popular late night TV show host. However, life didn't give him anything more than a management position at the local burger joint. Day in and day out, he flipped burgers, swept floors, and made weekly schedules that his employees ignored. All he had known for the past five years of his life was pure misery. Then after one night of drunken revelry, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, but he knew all the gimmicks. He knew these stories had quirks he could manipulate- he could put all his stats into magic and become the best wizard in the world, or he could dump all his stats into strength and become a veritable warrior. But once again, just like Earth, this new world seemed to have different plans for him. Instead, he was given a luck stat of 0 and a skill that forced him into danger where there should have been none. Why is this nerdy, magical paradise trying to kill him? Content warnings are there to give me some creative legroom later. There's not an excess of any gruesome content in the story, and what is there is tastefully sprinkled in. This is a LitRPG. Updates are twice a week on Mon/Fri plus some extras here and there.
