《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》Revival Factory (Ch. 24)
Advertisement
Rest of the day had become mess ever since Old Ghost was imprisoned. Every worker was told to get in their rooms and not come back till Crowman was done changing some properties of the machine.
He did not take it as a day off. Even though Boone didn’t cause suspicion and was labeled as a victim, he knew he was somewhat under the watch of Crowman.
Crowman's bloodshot eyes were far from being forgotten. He had seen his reflection in colour changing retina. And it was not a pleasant experience to go through.
Boone lay in his bed, wondering when he would see sunlight again. It had been days since he had not been outside. Gone were the days when the surrounding helped him to know if it was dawn or dusk. Now there was just a lifeless clock ticking and reminding him of his schedule.
He turned to other side of bed, thinking.
When I had accepted my son is dead, I realize he is alive. And what is the purpose of reviving Stacy if I won't ever get to see her again? Old Ghost is right. This is recycling. A dead person will never come back to the lives of their loved ones. Boone was seconds away from sobbing.
Tears seeped through his eyelashes and clumped between his eyelids.
He did not know when he slept.
A dream reminded him of his sleep where Boone, again, was in front of the factory. Factory in his dream had not changed. He watched the dusk, this time, instead of having gander at the chimney.
A fairy shot out of the chimney and flew at his direction. The fairy changed herself to a ghost.
"Who are you?" Boone went on to ask.
"You are the one who stopped my revival."

"You must be product of my dream-"
But the ghost flew towards him with a sword in his hand. Boone ducked and missed being sliced by the blade.
Shit! This might be the ghost whose letter I had dropped. But Boone was not intimidated by him. Waking up would make him go because no ghost could enter inside the factory.
Boone attempted to open his eyes but his locked eyelids didn’t let it happen. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t convince his brain this was a dream.
Mentally waking up seemed unlikely at the time so he produced a giant hammer and squashed the ghost with it.
Ghost leaked out from the bottom without his sword. Looking at Boone gliding away, he stretched himself and caught Boone's foot.
The glob like substance ascended on his body and wrapped around his neck.
Boone was choking so he took himself to Antarctica. Snowflakes touched his cheeks. He felt the blob hardening like concrete so he threw himself into bone chilling ocean.
As the water hit him, the glob began to dissolve and gave him time to breath. But he was in water and far away from being a fish so he went into an open meadow where he inhaled fresh air.
The ghost was far from being done with him. It had turned itself into a giant bee with his mouth wide apart. Inside his mouth there were millions of reaper blades instead of teeth. Boone changed his direction and passed through its massive wings.
Getting through it took him to a Martian colony. He had not landed inside a dome but was on radioactive land. Blue sunset didn’t help him because he was suffocating. He made a space suit which he used to counter oxygen deprivation.
Ghost appeared again but Boone couldn’t fly in such heavy suit. The ghost was going to catch up with him soon so he thought with cool head.

He produced revival machine with a letter fallen under it.
Ghost paused and picked up the letter then tried to put it in. Since he had bought some time, Boone tried his best to wake up. While doing so, he stumbled on a rock and fell.
The fall broke his sleep.
Alarm was ringing outside. It made him realize alarm was the reason why he was able to wake up.
Crowman must be experimenting. He reckoned.
After turning on the lights, corner of his eye caught something unusual. Clock hand was showing it was 27.

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.
