《Free》Chapter 7: Hours Of Blood Part II
Advertisement
No blood.
No pain.
No organs.
What am I looking at? How did he create this hole?
I was tired, my legs were shaking, I felt something horrible within me. Something I can barely feel.
"NOW THEN SAMURAI?! WHADDYA SAY?" he said.
I was holding my sword, but I didn't move anything.
What can I do, I'm surrounded by enemies!
. . .
"BOYS, HE'S NOT ANSWERING!"
"KILL HI-" he said but got interrupted by a sound.
I looked to my right, another log!
I looked at my left, another log rolling towards me.
But, I can't move!
I have to jump, I have to survive.
Jump..
Come on, just jump!
Then, suddenly, I jumped, the highest I have in my life.
I looked down to see them in a circle, but they didn't move.
I could still hear the logs rolling.
The leader jumped up, he was holding a small knife.
While I was falling he was rising.
He attacked with his knife, but I quickly defended my self with my sword.
I looked down, no one was there!
As soon as I landed I quickly looked around.
All I could see were tree's, all around me.
I kept looking around, nothing, just cold green colors.
I kept breathing heavy.
"HEY STUPID NINJA"
"IDIOT COME BACK"
"STUPID KID" I kept shouting.
Nothing.
No one replied.
I had nowhere to go.
I had..
Lost..
I held my sword as it was stuck on the ground, and closed my eyes.
I might as well enjoy what I have left..
But..
I couldn't..
This aura, it was everywhere!
All around me was blue aura, they were like flames!
There were a total of 5 flames, in different directions.
I opened my eyes again, there were only trees and bushes, you could barely see the sky.

They are planning on attacking me, by hiding!
I can't fight them, I have no chance but to run!
I picked up my sword, I was ready to run.
But, I don't know which direction is the right way home.
Right? Left? Behind? Where am I supposed to go?
I decided to go right.
I sprinted, It was hard to run but it was my only way.
I looked behind, I saw no one, not even the Ninja.
I can't leave without the Ninja, but It's my only choice.
It felt as if I had ran for hours.
Endless hours of running.
But..
I can't see!
It's as if my eyes, they are closed, but I am..
I must be running!
I opened my eyes, I was in the same place again.
My sword was stuck on the ground!
I looked around, only trees.
I picked up my sword and started running again.
I continued to run, left this time.
But.. Suddenly my vision started to blur off.
I opened my eyes again.. !
I'm at the, same place?
What's happening?!
I started running again, this time only forward.
This time I felt it!
I felt as if I was making progre..
I'm..
I'm still..
I opened my eyes to a sound.
Irritating sound, I felt like I was going to lose my ears.
I opened my eyes, to a dark place. Light barely lighting up the place.
I looked around from the ground, no one.
"HEY YOU UGLY, STUPID AND ANNOYING SAMURAI, WAKE UP!!" I heard.
I rose up.
It was the, Samurai..
"W-WHERE AM I?!" I said.
"I carried your heavy ass, stupid!" he said.
Carried?
But I was running.
I looked at my stomach, the hole was still there.
This time it was smaller than before.

"Tell me, where did the crow go!" I asked
"Oh yeah, this all happened because of YOU!" the ninja answered.
"Just answer and show me, so nothing more happens" I said.
"Fine, I can't believe I am helping this stupid and ugly Samurai to find a crow" he mumbled to himself.
We started walking, but I didn't know where.
The walking became minutes, then hours.
We were walking to the point where I had to carry him.
Then, when he said stop, we arrived.
The sky was night and we arrived to a destroyed small city, no forest.
The city had lights, but some houses were destroyed, drunk men were talking.
"What are you waiting for?" the Ninja said.
"Go in!" he said.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.

My Dear Alice - A Dark Awakening
He’ll cross a lethal land to bring her back home. But is she willing to be found? Appalachian Wasteland, 2072. Jamie Henderson wants to forget all about his ex-girlfriend Alice. Except this nonviolent fixer has been hired to find her after she went missing in the ongoing AI-controlled war. But his quest through the hostile post-apocalyptic terrain turns deadly when a roadside raider attack sees him captured by a terrifying matriarchal clan. Stranded in dangerous territory, Jamie’s jaw drops when he discovers his ex among their numbers. But with her personality split and scattered, his own survival will depend on reaching through her fragmented mind… Can this pacifist hunter make the truth known before he’s sentenced to death? My Dear Alice is a fast-paced companion story that bridges Seasons 1 and 2 of the gripping Cyber Overture dystopian series. If you like complex character studies, gritty worlds, and shocking twists, then you’ll love D. B. Goodin’s outlander opus. Note: This should be read after Sonorous. This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.
