《The Lucky Secret》Chapter 7

Congratulations!
You have leveled up!
You have leveled up!
You have leveled up!
You have defeated the Decrepit Queen!
One hour was the answer. One long, long hour of clinging to the pillar and waiting for something, anything, to happen, and the mosaic floor he definitely didn’t trust now was coming back together, bits and pieces slotting back into each other until the chamber was once again pristine and neat, just as it had been, sans the Queen.
Slowly, he reached out with one foot and nudged the floor with his toe. It seemed solid, but he didn’t trust anything.
Congratulations! You completed one of two bonus objectives: deal no damage!
He hadn’t gotten hit, though?! He would have died if he…??
“Oh,” he said, and gingerly touched his still-bleeding cheeks. “Status window.”

Right. He had to eat that meat. There was no way of knowing if it would spoil in there. But in the meantime.
15 points to allot.
Normally, he would just go down handing out stat points one by one, take note of the last one he left off, but… what could the Tower really do about wisdom or intelligence? He didn’t want it fucking with that, actually. Clearly, he may have previously thought himself stupid, but he managed… Well, he just managed that, so he might have been a bit off the mark. He could apparently be quite intelligent in a life or death situation. Nothing like nearly getting squashed by a giant scary lady to get the synapses firing, after all.
Well, he thought he knew what to do.

Now… there was no wood or flint, but…
The air before him started to shimmer, and Cillian blinked in confusion as he realized the hatchet was in his hand and brandished. When did he do that?
Right in the center of the room sat a chest, and he studied it. This was a loot drop. He knew that. But, he had also played dnd in the past, and he knew what a fucking mimic was. Did the Tower know what a mimic was? There hadn’t been a loot box before, but this was a boss, so…
Slowly, Cillian inched forward and prodded the box with his hatchet. No reaction, but that didn’t mean anything. It could be diabolical. Maybe even conniving. Once again, he prodded it, and then again, but there was nothing. Not so much as a creak.
“Whew,” he breathed out, but then the box clicked open. “AGGGHH!!!”
Cillian jumped back, but the inside of the chest just shone out with a bright, warm, golden light.
Oh. It was just opening. He must have triggered something.
Gripping his hatchet tightly, he inched forward and pushed open the chest, to reveal a half-open stack of coins and a set of vambraces. Nothing else.
“Item box,” he ordered, and immediately got to work putting the items in the box to view the stats.
1,000 gold coins
Seemed pretty self explanatory, but he had no idea where he was supposed to spend them. Was that a later level thing?
Queen Astrid’s Vambraces
Rare
The strongest and wisest of the giantesses, Queen Astrid was a force to be reckoned with before the Living Death chained her to this world.

+3 to STR and +3 to WIS.
That was ridiculously good, he realized in a daze. The silver vambraces were lined in gold and engraved with mysterious runes. Carefully, he checked over them, and then just shrugged. Might as well strap them on. The vambraces dropped out of the box and he put them on top over his filthy sleeves. Oh, gods. His fingernails were absolutely coated in dirt. He could see his fingerprints outlined in the grime. This was disgusting.
“I wanna go home.”
Julius Strange has requested to accompany you.
Y/N?
“This is approaching stalker territory, dude,” he said aloud and clicked ‘no’.
Like clockwork, the portal from before slowly formed in the center of the room, and Cillian stretched out the kinks in his back with a series of loud pops. Sure, he was filthy and disgusting and tired, with brand new scars, but his face was no longer bleeding, and he hadn’t taken too much damage. He was going to confidently count this one as a success.
“Okay,” he said and picked up his hatchet. “Level three, here I come.”

The Blue Tower
When I heard a soft, and gentle voice, asking me if I'd like to go to a new world, far away from here... I didn't even think twice about it. My life on Earth could hardly have been any worse, right then - and the chance to start back over was more than I could have dreamed of. But now that I'm here, I'm starting to discover that this new world is really nothing like what I had been expecting. Right now, I'm all alone, in the middle of a huge, and darkened forest, with nobody to tell me where to go, or what to do next. And somewhere, far off in the distance... I can hear something huge, and strong, moving slowly through the woods. Before, I was hoping to get the chance to start my life up all over again. But now, I'm just hoping to make it safely through the night. Maybe once I achieve that, then I can finally start to think about what's going on... ... and then, maybe, I can figure out just why it was that I was brought here, exactly - and just what sort of a world it is that I've arrived in.

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father. Thanks to this, our hero receives a certain amount of attention from the opposite sex. After training, Marzio learns about the so-called knowers who are aware of the artifacts of the ancients and how things truly are. New prospects are opening up for him, but also new dangers. He becomes part of the squad that helped him. And using modern for us and futuristic for the Middle Ages, small arms are engaged in protecting the secrets of the church and persecuting a group calling themselves apostates, who want to reveal all the cards that will drive the world into a new branch of chaos and the fight against the regime. As cover, his order sided with minor rulers to fight the old-fashioned way and maintain the balance of power. More and more secrets are revealed to Marzio, and a serious intriguing game unfolds behind him, into which he is sucked in with more and more force. But the hero is the hero, in order to grow and cope with the twists and turns of fate, he stoically withstands all trials and even not knowing about the threats from the east and another continent continues to go forward to meet his fate, for the sake of freedom, revenge and struggle.

With finding him, she is forced to realize that her dreams overlap into reality, sometimes in frightening ways. The Dreamwalker Series was written as a number of short stories. Several of the stories are quite old so the writing style and mood of the pieces may shift in between each title. Some stories are flash fiction, and so may seem rather brief and abrupt. This story will be uploaded in a non-linear format.
