車子停在路邊,我們卸下所有行李。我的朋友微笑著說,我們已經到了。
公寓門前有一棵樹。雖然還是冬天,樹卻早已發芽。陽光透過很密集的樹枝,照在大門門框。我停靠在門邊,看著順房子延伸下去的街景。
“還不進去嗎?”
我將行李拉進大門。破舊的公寓和外表繁華的都市比起來,更有一種親切感。
“在這里應該很安全。”他說道。
“但愿。”
我們的房間在四樓。光線剛好透過窗戶,發芽樹枝的影子清晰可見。不久后,也會遮擋住陽光吧。
卓越市區邊界。
比起上層的空中通道和高樓,在發展的城市底還留有過去的痕跡。
這里還能找到一些21世紀初的老樓,雖然大部分已經破損。房間很干凈,406號。
都拾好后,他將折疊沙發展開在客廳。不像現在的樓房,這個客廳沒有任何不必要的裝飾。
“之后…”
“樓下還有一間空房,在街角那。那間也是我們的,還包括半個二樓。”
“我記得那以前是個酒吧。”
“現在都沒人來了。老板在上個月被一個歹徒擊斃。”
“在外面?”
“嗯。”
我們準備下樓。公寓里住人甚少。朋友說,他們基本上都離死不遠了,我們也一樣。
三個月后,我們已經將街道路口的空房裝修成一個新的酒吧。為了安全,我們在燈里裝了個電極閃光彈。
“它看起來還是很舊。”
“沒必要太新。”
“可你以前在以太市區的房子是相當華麗。”
“那不是我干的。”
他沉默許久,隨后將剩余的酒瓶擺在架子上。
“抱歉。”
“……”
破舊的木質家具攤在屋子周圍。我們放了一些陷阱。我們還分別在壁爐和樓梯后布置了密道。
一開始他還建議我在樓上,但是想了想還是這里比較安全。有時酒吧會進來一些人,醉酒后離去。朋友將剩下的杯子洗好擦亮,我則在一旁坐著,觀賞外面風景。
行人走過,默默無聞。
過了一陣,朋友買了個紅木底沙發,橫跨在室內。我每天都會趴在那,玩弄一些破電子設備。
當然,我不會告訴他我在做炸彈。

Dreams of Dust
“May our futures be of dreams, for I know the nights to be rough. Our enemies will know only nightmares, trapped in dreams of dust.” James Scanlan is not like other mages. He was born to a family of NoMs, a family without magic. Blessed with magic, Scanlan has flourished as a mage, performer and some would say, a person. He has travelled the magical world and encountered marvels of human innovation, and villains of the vilest kind. All manner of people have agreed on one truth; James was too good for the lowly Frontier. And yet, in his heart he yearns to go home. Frustrated, with the status quo of the Mageocracy, James longs to return home to Melbourne, Australia; a bastion of the Oceania Frontier. There he knows he can make a difference. Or perish trying. Follow James as he returns home, set on fixing the status quo, setlling old scores, and finding peace with who he is. It may all come crashing down but until that nightmare unfolds, with friends by his side, James Scanlan will pursue his Dreams of Dust. This is a story based in Wutosama's Metaworld Chronicles universe, written with the permission of the author. This story can be read without prior knowledge, but for greater understanding of the magic system and societal conflicts please read Metaworld Chronicles. This story will focus on character interactions, differing views, dungeon crawling, questions of morality, and possibly a tragic ending... On Hiatus due to work load, may be returned to in future.

In Z Finite
This is the story of Zarco, a young guy with a magic stone and not much else, and Caelum, a wingless "angel". "Caelum-That's stupid... Zarco-Eh, it is..." Ahem, anyway, a lot of action & adventure awaits them, as they are forced together on a journey in search of some magic stones of legendary power. "Zarco-Liar! We're currently doing a lot more of "trying to survive" than rock picking around here! Caelum-Yeah, that is pretty misleading." Ok, screw this, I am out, if nobody read this story it will be your fault. "Zarco-The hell are you talking about, you're the one who wrote this... Caelum-Since our writer is unreliable, I will finish this. This story at its core is just a fun rump, focused on action, adventure, and a lot of comedic dialogue and exchanges. If you had at least a chuckle reading this then you will probably enjoy the story. Zarco-Yo, thanks for reading till this point, we will meet again at the pages."
