《w o n d e r f u l [f.w]》17.

Inbetween all this drama, I'd actually been spending a lot of time with Cedric too, I just always needed up hanging out with him everyday - it was never planned, we were just in the same places. I got to know Cho even more, and we got even closer as friends. They were the cutest couple in the school and never made me feel like a third wheel - it was great.
Cedric had been trying to solve what the gold egg was for a while now, and I was waiting for him with Cho outside Charms, when Moody came up to us, and pulled him aside as soon as he left the classroom. Moody was always a bit strange, but I guess that's what happens when you deal with dark wizards for so long - who wouldn't be a bit messed up and paranoid after all that?
Turns out, he'd told Cedric what to do with the gold egg, so we rushed to the prefect bathroom. Me and Cho waited outside as Ced went in, and around half an hour later, he came out with wet hair and a grin.
"Mermaids." He simply said, and decided to rush off and find Harry to return the favour for giving Ced help for the first task.
After Ced had told Harry, we tried to solve the riddle in a corner of the library near the restricted section - so it was empty except for the odd Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Ced kept repeating the riddle, and it was nearly making sense.
"Cedric?" I asked, my voice muffled by my fave being in a book on mermaids.
"Yeah Y/N?" He asked sounding tired.
"Aren't there mermaids in the Black Lake?" I thought out loud - we'd been doing this for hours now, just randomly guessing hoping some logic would come out of somewhere.

Cedric and Cho both turned to me, and I raised my head from the book to see two faces of delight and excitement.
"You did it Y/N!" Cho squealed.
"The mermaids are in the Black Lake - so that's where the next task will be." Cedric smiled at both of us, pulling all three of us into a big hug.
"I wonder what you will have to retrieve?" I said.
"Whatever it is, I only have an hour there, so I need to find something to help me go underwater." He said, already on his feet looking for charm books.
It didn't take Ced long to find the bubblehead charm, and it turned out he'd already done it before, so it was just about perfecting it now. But, it was nearly after hours, so we raced back to our individual common rooms, after a day of solving clues.
The day before the second task, me, George, Cedric, Cho and some others were all in the courtyard, when Moody came up to me followed by Hermione, Ron and I believe Fluer's younger sister.
"Black, come with me." Moody huffed.
"Why?" I asked, I was confused. I hadn't done anything bad this year - why was I in trouble?
"You're not in trouble, but we need you now, so leave your little pals and come quickly - I don't have all day." Moody grumbled at me - he sounded similar to Percy when he got impatient, and that's someone you never want to sound like.
I gave an apologetic look to the group as I left in the middle of our conversation, and smile at Cedric - he was really nervous about the task tomorrow. Little did I know, I wouldn't even be there to cheer him on, because I'd be tied up underwater, waiting for my childhood friend to rescue me within the hour given for the second task.

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.

A mysterious man is summoned to bring forth a new kingdom, but does he bring hope or calamity?
