《The Peerless Emperor of the Skies》Chapter 4 – Running Away
Advertisement
Solomon immediately summoned Red Streak and hopped on top.
He quickly sped through his lair, leaving only a red light in sight.
He made twists and turns, skipping many rooms on his way.
"I doubt a Cloud Realm warrior can be so easily defeated! My restrictions will only buy me a couple of minutes...."
Solomon made his way to his most important rooms. Although Solomon kept his life saving treasures with him at all times, there were many important non-combat items he stored in his lair.
Along the way to his treasure rooms, Solomon noticed the ground was littered with broken chains and other restrictions.
"He was actually able to get this far without me knowing...."
A fiery panic was set in Solomon's eyes.
"I definitely need to leave as soon as I can!"
Solomon made another detour and decided that of his twelve treasure rooms, he would only visit three.
"The alchemy rooms! Those are the most important rooms here..."
Of Solomon's twelve treasure rooms, three were dedicated to weapons for refining, three were dedicated to items with nostalgic value, three were dedicated to his restriction research, and three were dedicated to his alchemy!
Solomon stored many pill recipes and elixirs within his alchemy rooms. There were many rare pills that could sell high! There were many pills he had saved to boost his cultivation!
If he had to salvage a room during this crisis, it was going to be an alchemy room.
Solomon sped through the tunnels like a madman.
He stopped when he arrived at a golden door.
With no hesitation, he kicked the door open and began putting everything into a spatial bag. Once everything was devoured by his bag, he immediately moved to the next room.
After three minutes had passed, Solomon was in the middle of storing the second alchemy room. Just as he put in the last item, a loud explosion could be heard. Shortly following the explosion was an echoing voice.

"Sky Master Solomon! Dare to resist no longer! I'm coming for you!"
Hearing the coming threat, Solomon gave up the idea of harvesting the last alchemy room. He gloomily shot toward the lair exit.
By the time Solomon escaped, only six minutes had passed.
Once he was outside, Solomon continued to speed through the jungle and away from his lair. After he was a good distance away, Solomon took a piece of jade from his spatial bag.
With an aggrieved look, Solomon crushed the jade.
A large pillar of light then appeared where Solomon's lair had been.
Apart from the thousands of red chain restrictions, Solomon had also covered his base with hundreds of destruction seals. He had never expected to actually activate the seals, but he knew that if left unhindered, Master Soul Cloud would soon catch up to him.
The huge explosion destroyed everything around it. The mighty mountain toppled over as its base was destroyed.
"Hmmph! You may have survived the my red chain restrictions, but can you survive the activation of hundreds of destruction seals? Can you survive the weight of an entire mountain falling on you?!"
Solomon didn't dare look back as he raced as far away as he could. His face was ghostly pale and covered in sweat.
"That was way too close.... I said he wouldn't survive, but I don't have the balls to go back and check... I may sound arrogant, but I'm not dumb enough to deliver myself to possible doom!"
Solomon had traveled non-stop for two hours. Whenever he felt tired, he would waste no expense to recover.
During his escape, he had used well over a dozen pills.
He had traveled at least fifty miles and had change direction many times. He was also careful to hide his tracks.

Solomon finally decided to take a break. He had just escaped a catastrophe, and although his body was fine due to pill consumption, he was very, very fatigued mentally.
Solomon took a deep breath as he sat in the shade of a large tree. He then pulled out many dishes from his spatial bag and began to eat.
"I lost a lot in my lair... If I knew this was going to happen, I would have sold them all before hand..."
The lair Solomon had built composed of many restrictions and seals. It also stored many valuable items. Solomon was in pain as he could have easily sold his lost belongings for at least two hundred dollars.
"Well, I guess I'll log off now. Too much has happened and I need to sleep... I got school tomorrow too..."
Solomon sat down calmly and kept the idea to log off in his head.
In order to prevent combat logging, the game was designed so that as long as malicious intent was targeted at you, and as long as it could affect you within a three minutes, you would not be able to log off. Of course, you could not be taken hostage in the virtual world like this. The developers made a sure-to-work method that would allow a person to log out. The drawback, however, would be that half of you belongings would be dropped, and your cultivation would be decreased by half for a week. You would then have to log in within a day or else you character would be killed.
After a few moments, Solomon was transported to his empty Hub World.
In order to vent his frustration, Solomon decided to send a message to Saber King Matthew.
HumbleHut: Oi, duck faced geezer, how's that hacking coming along? Can you use your morning yoga to virtually fight the privacy protection?
Solomon imagined the comedic seen of a bald old man in kung fu clothing ready to fight his computer.
Solomon's mood lifted a bit after sending his toxic message. He was then surprised at a quick response.
User 10052: Who are you calling duck faced? Wait... is my account not private?!?!?! Screw you, you hacker! You hacked me, didn't you?! You're gonna regret it! I'ma beat you 'til your parents don't recognize you!
HumbleHut: Your account is public, dude. Everyone's able to see your dumb rants against those m*sical.ly kids...
Saber King Matthew didn't respond. Solomon guessed that the Rage King was in a state of panic, trying to figure out how to change his account to private.
Solomon felt a sting of guilt for trash talking an old man, but reassured himself when he remembered that said man spent his days on the internet ranting about everything.
Solomon laughed as he prepared to turn off his VR equipment.
"This guy is a pain to the eyes, but I guess he's pretty amusing to mess with."

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
