Chapter 4
"I don't remember my name, so I'll have to find one for myself. Not that it matters much to me anyway. Now, first thing in order, is to get you cleaned. And kinda patch you up. Because boy you stink! And it's disturbing to keep seeing your organs."
With that said, he put his weapon into his bag and then tentatively reached out his hand towards the zombie. It didn't move or react negatively. Thus he gently took Alphonse's hand, being careful not to hurt himself with the zombie's nails. He experimentally tugged to see if he followed and was delighted to find that he did. So one small dunderhead happily tugged along a tall zombie across the amusement park.
"It seemed like I saw a bathroom earlier. I hope it still has running water. What do you think Alphonse?" He asked as he gently swung their intertwined hands.
Alphonse just let out a meaningless moan.
He sweatdropped as he said, "You sure are not a great conversationalist huh."
Along the way he found a chair that he took along. Alphonse's joints were not really functional, so he would need the chair to make him sit down to change and wash him. After all, the other was way taller than him.
He quickly found the bathroom and tugged the unresisting Alphonse inside. As soon as he set foot inside, he was assaulted by the horrible smell. The bathroom stank and was randomly splashed with blood.
"Ugh, let's do this quickly. This bathroom is a nightmare."
He put his words into action and quickly tugged the zombie to the sink. He put his bag in a relatively clean space, then started stripping Alphonse, starting by his shirt. He paused in thought for a few seconds before using his nails to tear it off. Taking it off the normal way would taken too much effort and the shirt was pretty much ruined anyway.

Tsuki: “Those nails are pretty handy!”
He paused a little when he completely saw Alphonse's chest. He stared dumbly for a few seconds as he thought, 'a zombie with abs'. He sweatdropped.
"What, in the creator's name, were you before becoming a zombie? You are ridiculously ripped!" He muttered to himself.
He made Alphonse sit down in order to remove his dirty trousers. That act demanded some careful manoeuvring. He then took the black cloth from before and brought it to the sink.
"Eureka! Clean water!" He cried out as he opened the tap.
He wet the cloth and started wiping his zombie companion down.
"You better be grateful to have me tend to you. I'll do the best I can with your hair." He told the silent Alphonse.
He had to rinse the cloth many times in order to get him clean. For his hair, he dragged the chair to the sink and used a small bucket he found near a stall to pour water onto Alphonse's head. He ran his hand through his hair while continuing to pour water. He did this until the water came out clean.
He took another clean cloth from his bag to dry the other zombie down, then rummaged through it to get some clean clothes. He chose a black plain t-shirt and some baggy trousers. Those will be the easiest to put on Alphonse. He put the clothes on his bag for the moment and grabbed the first-aid box.
"Let's patch you up first....Do I need to disinfect the injury?..... The wound is quite big....Oh whatever!"
He sprayed the surrounding skin of the wound with antiseptic, then grabbed thick bandages to wrap him up. It took a few bandages to do the job. He really had to find a pharmacy and raid it.

"Now, clothes."
He took the clothes and put them on the unhelpful Alphonse with great difficulty. After an eternity, he finally got Alphonse into the clothes and stepped back to watch his hard work with a wide smile on his face.
"Good work me! Wow, look at you! You are quite the handsome guy! You must have had lots of admirers when you were human huh."
With clean clothes on and his wound hidden, Alphonse looked like a supermodel.....albeit the zombie version of one.
"Ah, I don't have any shoes for you. We'll try to find some along the way. What do you think Alphonse?" He asked as he turned the zombie around to face the cracked mirror.
Alphonse ignored his reflection and only stared at him. He rolled his eyes at the zombie then turned to grab his bag. Alphonse followed him slowly as he made his way out of the bathroom.
"........What the hell are we supposed to do now?" He muttered to himself as he glanced at Alphonse.
Yeah, there'll be no help from this side
"Guess we have to find shelter first. Night time is approaching and we don't know how safe it is. I also need to find some zombies in order to study them. And some humans too.... I'll have to observe them from very far way."
Now that he had some kind of plan, he grabbed Alphonse's hand and went to find the exit of the amusement park.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

Prime Magus of Earth
"In the beginning, I had no idea what was going on. My brother and friends were gone, my sight was gone, and yet I still saw things, things about this world that no one else knew. I'm not special, or gifted, anyone could have done what I did. I just got lucky, especially after everything that happened afterwards. Magic already existed, it always had. Humans just didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to nuture that small spark in them. Now you do." - Prime Magus of Earth, Alexander Sorin. November 2021 Update: So, it has been four years since I stopped working on this. Reading back, the first "book" is finished. It has what feels like an ending to an arc. Now it isn't a perfect story but I still like it and I can see myself starting the second book, might even this on Amazon or something. My biggest regret was never coming up with artwork for the cover though. Maybe I'll look into it.

Does Hell Have an Adventurers' Guild?
I have decided to try out a different style. I cannot say much at this point, the story is mostly fantasy/romance and will evolve as I go, but it will involve an "adventurers' guild" in a demonic setting. MC will be a reincarnator becoming a denizen of hell, I will add vital description as I go. Gore will be used with reason, some bad words here and there and severe explicit or traumatizing content will be announced in advance, but it will not be the focus of the work.
