《Dream Theater》Chapter 29 Reflections
Advertisement
“If only there was a way to get out of here, to see the sky again. To overcome all demons, to become whole” the writer pen had again stopped. His ink became dry on the page. It wasn’t tiredness that he felt but something quite different. Slothfulness was overcoming him, all those things to do, all those noises, all of those voices to talk to, it was too much to bear for him. There was no solution, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. In both cases, he lost and returned to his abyss made of despair and anxiety, this undefinable anxiety which he never managed to see the root of. It was bad but not as bad as two years ago. He had grown since then. Now he was a different man...but still too weak.
He looked at his room, a squalid, dirty room without warmth or decorations, it was a hole where to die. A corrupt hole in the shell of the world where people like him went to die and be depressed. Like those Russian characters of a long time ago[1]. Depressed, anxious, confused in a black storm in which faith was the only way out. He had no faith to hold to in the storm. No God to save him. No angel to talk to. No friend that could support him. He was in utter solitude a mix a broken desk. Alone only with his thoughts and ideas. The manuscripts talked and talked...while he was asleep when he woke up when he went to bed. All those ideas...wasted. All those ideas mixed, all those energies wasted. Life was really a dark mael storm that no one could escape. No priest, no monk, no abbot, no businessman, no philosopher, and definitely not him. He was the most condemn of them all. Maybe it was because of his parents, maybe he really was born under the wrong symbol, maybe it was because of his character and choices. He didn’t knew and didn’t cared and this point. All that he wanted now was to sleep soundly upon a warm bed. Away from all of these noises and sounds, away from all people. To put himself in his ivory tower and never coming down. What a beautiful life.

A small smile appeared on his face. “What an absurdity, probably I wouldn’t last a week without doing anything” this was life in the end. A meaningless void in which some people oriented better than others, some believed their lies more than others, some had more faith than others. He wasn’t in those groups, he didn’t knew what to do. And everywhere he looked at he saw only problems and monsters. He was poor, dirty, incapable, and arrogant. He didn’t learn anything with his education. He wasted his childhood and youth. He was the worst beast of them all. One who thought himself superior with his misery.

Fear, what a strange word to use >

“Damn manuscript I will burn you once I finish you!”
And so Pxan continued to write...just a few more chapters.

You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style.You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big.You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game. DCC Discord! 10/01/20 The first several chapters of DCC are now off of Royal Road because the book is on Amazon. I want to thank all of you for 9 months of amazing support. This is and Patreon will always be the place for the newest chapters and content, but to comply with Amazon's Kindle Unlimited policy, I can't have more than 10% of the story up here. This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please, please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. Updates one-two days a week.

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is. Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]
