Underground the city,in a secret tomb, guards stalk the hallways, their leather boots clicking on the smooth stone floors, their swords hang loosely by their sides, and once in a while you can hear screaming, horrible screaming and muffled crying , the guards wear masks that hide their identity and stuff their ears with ear muffs A man is being dragged past cells, prisoners yell at the guards carrying him although they are paid no heed probably because they can't be heard, the gaurds take turn after turn before dumping him in front of a huge steel door and hurriedly backing away, the poor man screams and struggles to break free from his binds while the door slowly creeks open, a deformed hands slowly crawls out the door, latching unto his legs, if anything his screams increase in crescendo and the guards back away from the door, next comes a hand through the door, even worst than the first covered in scars and bruises and injuries and puss and blood,it latches onto his legs like the first, then there is a clicking sound, the tomb is silent save for the clicking, just then his gang comes of "no!!! Please no!!! I'll do anything!!! Please... " he doesn't say much, a third hand clamps his mouth shut and muffles his screams, he is pulled into the room and the huge steel door slams shut, the guards hurriedly throw their weight on it and bar it with a huge rod Something pounds on the door for a minute before there is silence once more, then the prison regains its lively gait, insults are hurled, curses are screamed, prayers are uttered, people pound on their bars, in one of the cells, two men sit beside each other playing a game of cards while a lady lies on a bench on the other side of the cell,a little boy sits beside Levi, and a dwarf stands by the bars hurtling curses at the guards ,Levi bangs his head on the stone walls, sighing softly he mutters a prayer for the man who had been no doubt killed "didn't think you could pray " the lady says "I had a lot of practice when I was little " Levi drawls "I wonder when that'll happen to us" the little kid whispers "to you " the dwarf corrects "I'm getting out of here" "that's impossible" the boy retorts "is it? " the dwarf smirks "it's never been done" the lady says tucking a strand of her white hair behind her ear "now now, armon, you should learn to be optimistic " Armon rolls her eyes "could you shut up!!" the player on the right yells and the cell falls quiet, he was a brute, about 7 feet tall, hair tied into a ponytail, his grey eyes held intelligence, he could weigh 320 pounds, he wore a vest and a blue trouser "what's got your panties in a bunch" armom turns to him "I'm trying to concentrate here" he says "oooh lemme guess , tarique is winning " "I'v already won" tarique says flipping over his stack of kings and one queen "damn it... " "hand it over, runt" tarique says reaching out and runt reluctantly reaches into his pocket and pulls out a mint condition magazine, grumbling he hands it over to tarique "yesss...i won... Ha..." tarique does a dance routine before settling down to read the magazine "so childish " the kid says "ehhh!!! I'm not" tarique yells "tch" the dwarf leans against the wall "so childish" armon sighs "do you have a plan to get out of here?" levi turns to the dwarf The dwarf nods and all eyes turn to him "the guards start their patrol as soon as the sun comes up, they leave about 30 minutes later after checking None of the prisoners slipped out in the night, they return about 30 minutes later with breakfast, after that its recess 3 hours then its time for the tournaments, 6 hours later they bring dinner replacing the dead prisoners with new prisoners, then its time to feed that monstrosity, then they return the prisoners to their cells, then its lights out" "so the best time to get the fuck out of here is during the tournaments"

Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
