《Cartilage Of Life》Chapter 7: Death Festa
Advertisement
“uhmmm…..”
*knock knock*
“It’s time to go kid”
Awaken by Martin’s voice I stood up from the floor and picked up my sword, I looked at Aria one last time before leaving
“I promise you I’ll be back Aria”
“Good morning I see that everybody made their way to The Garden Of Eden I’m glad nobody got lost alright before the start of the festa I would like to relay some announcements Marco and Alicia have been eliminated and will not participate anymore in the battle if you have any questions regarding the rules ask these two Marco and Alicia”
“FIGHT KILL”
“EAT DESTROY”
“Hahaha that’s the spirit you two I told you that you both will fit in nicely as guiders”
Those who die within this world become hollow mindless creatures also known as Guiders, as much as I feel sorry for them becoming this I kind of feel like they deserve what they got for what they have done to my brother
“Now the death festa shall begin good luck everybody”
The slide down monitor slid up to the sky from the middle of the garden, finishing it’s announcement the participants scattered like wild fire
I was left in the middle confused and clueless to the situation
“Too weak” said a feminine voice
She swung her sword horizontally towards me, I moved my hands slightly upwards to block her attack luckily I was able to block it and thanks to the dullness of the sword the force got distributed around the sword more evenly than it would with sharp edges
This lady with a sword is Ayame, her sword crimson red just as red as her eyes, she’s wearing a purple yukata and wooden sandals
“I seem to have made a miscalculation” she said
She jumps in the air and spins horizontally using her spin to attack me, I dodged it by moving off to the left

Her legs quick to adjust to the change of her center of gravity dashed with one leg towards my direction, filled with determination to kill me she swing’s her sword in a irregular movement
*Bang*
A bullet caused both of us to separate from each other
Ayame looked over at the direction of the bullet
“This is none of your business old man”
“Heh young lady I have all the business in the world to be here, Ol’Hammer boy got too arrogant with his hammer, he thought he was thor or something, he was swinging that thing more than a bull would swing when it sees a Mexican”
“Jokes at a time like this truly old man you are one strong enemy”
“Woah there being called an enemy by a beautiful lady like you, what did I deserve in my old life to receive such praise”
“That is nothing far less from the truth in that case let me be the Grim Reaper to your pitiful life!”
Ayame throws her sword towards Martin, jumping up high enough he dodged the bullet like sword that destroyed the tree in a matter of seconds
*Bang Bang Bang*
Up in the air Martin shot three bullets at her and stopped, Ayame ran through the bullets and picked up her sword
Martin who landed on his feet clicks his tongue at her
“Tch 2 more bullets”
Ayame smiled at him
“This is the end of your life old man”
Martin raise’s his hand
“you got me”
Ayame walks towards Martin bearing her sword on her left hand
“But aren’t you curious?” Martin asked
Ayame stopped in front of him
“Of what?”
Martin looks up to his right hand at his gun
“If I’m correct you’re a young lady from the 14th century right? You’ve never seen a gun right? You can take it and have a look before killing me”

He throws his gun onto the floor
Ayame picks it up
“Yes I have been intrigued by these machines named Guns although I wonder how they work an-“
*Bang*
Ayame fell down on the floor instantly
Headshot
“They were right old people are dumb fuckers”
He picks up the gun from Ayame’s corpse
“Now then where was i? ah yea you you…..You…..Yutou right?”
He points the gun towards me and then flips it rendering the barrel to be pointed at him
“You see I was promised to be reincarnated if I helped you win this game, frankly speaking killing you and winning the prize is much of bargain for me just in case you didn’t know the prize for winning the first time is your memories and for winning again in the next Patch then it would be your reincarnation, upon arrival I was told to help you in order for me to be born again so”
He throws the gun at me, barely managing to catch it I hold it trembling with fear I pointed it at him
“Don’t worry kid I’ll do what I did to that Princess it’s one of my tricks so just-“
*Bang*
The gun shot itself…..
“Take care…”
Martin cough’s blood before falling on the floor, his body pouring the blood welled up inside of him, he died smiling……

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.

Chains
Eric Bane is one tough thug, but even he's not immortal. After a deadly ambush, he falls unconscious only to awaken in a castle preparing to meet a king. He was apparently summoned to a parallel world of fantasy to act as a hero who wields one of six Divine Weapons. However, being unfamiliar with video games, he doesn't see the new world the same way the other five do. After being framed for rape, Eric ends up hobbling out of the city with no money, no party, and draining motivation. However, if there's one thing that Samson is good at, it's spite. If the world is going to kick him to the curb, then he's going to beat the shit out of the next person he sees to get back on track. As Eric grows stronger through a natural progression, he slowly discovers the hidden history of the world and the dark secrets of the Church of the Trinity. And while some might wait for the right moment to strike, Samson isn't one for patience. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is a story that I've already gotten pretty far with, but I want to release it slowly over a few days to see what the critics say. I haven't finished it, but I've got a general idea where I want to go with it. Maturity for violence, sexual themes, and slavery. No outright sex or nudity, and there is no cruelty exhibited towards slaves. Tell me how you like it.
