《Deck of Cards》Dream

Two days have passes and the heroes are back in the castle to rest. Walther and Chris had the most serious injuries out of the group. A lot of their bones were broken and are only alive now because of the armor they were wearing. If they hadn't wore it, their bodies would have been have to be scraped off from the walls there. Their current condition is good, but they move slowly. People who were hit in the head by Xeeth, had a fractured skull or broken jaw. They recovered quickly compared to Chris and Walther, but they have a massive headache now and find it hard to eat solid food. As for Echo, his body feels sore, but because he doesn't feel physical pain, it isn't painful to move for him. His current state is weakened because of the poisoned dagger, which he was stabbed with.
Currently Echo and Walther were in the throne room, in front of the king. Walther was there because he needed to give his report and Echo, because he managed to get the demon away from them. Also Ana was there too, next to the steps that lead to the throne.
"So tell me what exactly happened there."the king says and Walther starts to speak"Well the first eight floor were pretty normal, but when we *cough, cough* got to the ninth, we only saw destroyed golems *cough*. So we moved to tenth floor and entered the boss room, only to find the boss destroyed too *cough.* Then the demon appeared and I attacked him, only to get kicked into the floor. After that I don't know what happened, because I got knocked out by the impact."
"I see. Echo. You tell me what happened after that."The king says.
"Well after Walther, Chris attacked him and ended up like Walther. The rest of the group were frozen from fear after seeing that and so didn't fight back. He just evaluated us and depending on If he liked our status, he dealt with us. When he got to me, he seemed to like my status and stabbed me soon after. After that, I teleported him away." Echo gives a vague his part of the story, leaving out many details.
"How did you teleport him away? I have never taught my [Space Magic] to anyone."asks Ana from him and Echo answers"Why should I answer?"
"Because I asked."Ana says in an imitating tone.
"Well. Figure it out yourself."Echo says and walks away, only to be teleported back to the spot, where he was few seconds ago.
"I didn't say you can go."Ana says to Echo, who turns around to face her.
"*Sigh*. I copied you. Happy."Echo says and teleports himself away from the throne room.
"Copying me. There is no way to learn magic by copying."Ana says in an angry voice, before leaving by teleporting away herself too.
Now only ones left, were the king, Elizabeth, Elyza and Walther.
"You may Leave Walther. Go rest for now."the king says and Walther thanks him, before leaving the room, leaving only the three there.
First to speak is Elyza"So he did a good job, so don't forget to pay him, father."
"I know. He'll get it by the end of the day."he replies in a slightly angry voice.

Silence falls onto the room once again, before the King says"I forgot to tell you, but Gabriel is coming back."
"Why? Isn't he supposed to be away for another year? Why is he coming back now?"Elyza says in an unhappy tone.
"Apparently he really wants to see the heroes."Elizabeth replies. "Aren't you happy?"
"No."Elyza replies.
"Why? He is your little brother."Elizabeth says.
"Half-brother and also an annoying little shit."Elyza says to her mother, before leaving the throne room with an angry mood.
As for Echo, he is walking on the hallway, when he suddenly starts to cough pretty badly. After he stops it, he looks at his hand, which he used to cover his mouth and sees blood on it.
'Aah fuck. Something is still wrong. But I wouldn't what, because I can't fucking feel pain.'
He starts to cough again a couple of times and doing so he coughs out more blood. Evelyn who was just walking by, comes up to him and asks"Are you okay? You are-."
She stops as she sees the hand with blood on it.
"What's wrong. Why are you coughing blood? Does it hurt anywhere?"she starts asking while panicking a little.
"I wouldn't fucking now. I can't few pain."Echo replies and coughs again.
"I'll cast a spell [Great Heal]."she chants while touching his arm. Once the glowing light fades away, the coughing stops and he thanks her, before moving on.
"Don't do any hard work. You nearly died."Evelyn tells him as he looks at him leaving.
After a few minutes, he reaches his bedroom and enters. Immediately he sees Skyeza sleeping on the bed with a happy face. The last few days have been pretty tiresome and so obviously she would be tired.
Because he himself doesn't have anything better to do, he takes off his clothes and lays down next to her in bed and falls asleep, while hugging her body.
"E-7."
"E-7."
"E-7. Wake up."is yelled by an angry voice, which belongs to a man.
"I could fucking hear you first time. What do you want."is said by a young ashen-haired boy who seems to be about ten, who gets up from the chair he was sleeping on.
"New job."is said by a boy on late teens with black hair and brown eyes.
"What is it?"E-7 asks him and he replies"Camp. You have an hour before leaving."
The teen throws the file onto the crappy table in the room and the boy walks over to the file and mutters"Fuck you E-1."
He picks it up and starts reading it.
"Lets see. Population 104...plus 20 soldiers. A small army camp....stone buildings.... Equipment....knife."he stops reading and says"Well fuck you too. What the fuck am I gonna do with a knife? In this mission."
He just shakes his head and throws the file into the corner of the crappy room he has to live in. He walks back to his chair and picks a cloth from from the chairs back and wraps it around his head, go cover his ashen hair which would stand out in this shit hole.
Because he has time, he sits back down on the chair and starts think over how to do it. He closes his eyes, to visualize the plan and when he opens them again, he sees a cloudless blue sky, with a sun that shines brightly.

"Fucking hell. Motherfuckers."he keeps cursing and he lifts his body and look like ka around, to see only sand around him. He looks around some more before finding a town from the distance.
"Must be my target."he mutters to himself and gets up from the sandy ground and picks up the sheathed knife from the ground. As he is about to hide it under his robes, he notices that this isn't what he was wearing.
"A fucking girls clothes. Mother fuckers."he says and hides the knife into his sleeve.
While walking towards the town, he thinks a short made up story for him and probably has to do that, to get to the army camp. He needs their equipment to do the job.
He shakes his head and keeps walking through the sand covered lands.
Finally he reaches the town and sees people walking around with faces full of fear and sadness. Soldiers here walk around with an Ak-47 and nobody dares to look at them in the eyes.
E-7, who has nicer looking clothes, catches a few sights and even one of the soldiers.
'Lets do the "Lost little girl" tactic.'
He keeps walking around the town and acts like his lost, until one of the soldiers walk up to him and says in an Arabic language"Why Are you walking around. Where are your parents."
'He plays a nice guy.'
"I-i don't k-k-know. I lost them. C-could you help me."he says it in as girly voice as possible.
"Sure. I know where your parents are come with me."the soldier says with a disgusting smile on his face.
"Yes."he replies and follows the soldier into one of the houses. When they enter, he sees three more and all of them look at the two.
"I found a bitch for us to enjoy."he tells them and immediately E-7 mouth is covered. He is dragged into a bedroom, while he is trying to get out of the mans grip. He is thrown onto a bed and one of the four man says"Scream all you want. No one is coming."
He unzips his pants and takes out his dick. E-7 looks at it and says"Tiny.", Before taking the knife out of his sleeve and cutting the mans dick off. The man screams out in pain, as he watches his dick on the floor.
"What the fuck. Grab this bitch!"is yelled before his throat is slid open. Because of his size, he is harder to cath and with few quick movements, only the dickless man is left and he too is finished off with a knife through the temple.
He pulls the knife out and wipes it clean on their clothes, before sheathing it.
"Fucking disgusting beings."he mutters to himself and walks back to the room, where they left their guns. He takes one the AK's and three mags from the other guns. He then hides the gun under his robe vertically and holds it with his right hand, while the other hand is holding the three mags. It seems weird under the clothing, but an AK attracted eben more attention.
He walks out of the building and walks around the city to search for the camp. He knows its location from the map, but he needs to see it in person, to decide the attack plan.
After walking around the area, he finds it about fifty meters away from the town. The camp is made out of four big tents with few of the soldiers guarding it.
'Weapons are the same, defense is shit, can't see any explosives. Hmm. Night attack....no. muzzle flash would give the location away. When sun is setting. Then I strike.'
After deciding time, he decides the place. This ends up to be a small hill about hundred meters from the camp.
The sun is slowly setting and E-7 is laying on the hill, with an AK in his hands and three mags sticked into the sand. He looks around the camp and finds a guard, who is alone currently. He takes aim and pulls the trigger. A loud gunshot follows and the bullet exits the barrel, while the shell is being ejected. Through the iron sights, he watches his the fuckers head is hit by a bullet and his dead body hits the ground.
From the distance he could hear faint screams which probably was about the gunshots. After thirty seconds, he sees three man running up to the body, only to end up dead, before they could search for him.
"Twenty bullets, twelve left"he mutters
He could hear more screaming and after a few minutes, he sees all of the soldiers grouping at the camp and are perfectly in his sight.
"Too stupid. Too easy."he says and starts to shoot at them in single fire mode.
When only one guy is left, he aims for his shoulders and shoots him before he could take cover.
"That's all."he says and gets up while switching for a full mag. He slides down the hill and walks towards the man, while taking off his robes.
With the AK resting on his shoulder, he reaches the man and sees that it is actually a teenager. He has tears in his eyes and tries to crawl away, when he sees E-7 approaching.
"Demon. Demon."he keeps yelling in Arabic as he sees the ashen haired boy approaching him. The hair isn't what makes him scary here. It's his demon looking yellow eyes.
"What a lovely name."He says, before shooting the teen in the head.
"Fucking goat fuckers."he mutters and the same time a man behind him says"That's not a nice thing to say now."
"A-1. You were here the entire time?"he asks and turns around to see a man in his late twenties with brown hair and eyes.
"Well somebody needs to get you back. Lets go!"he order him and walks away, with E-7 following him.
Suddenly in Echos bedroom, he opens his eyes and sees Skyeza looking at him with a worried face.
"What's wrong Sky?"he asks her, while rubbing her back under the sheets.
"You seemed to be having a nightmare."she tells him and he replies to that"It wasn't a nightmare. It was a normal dream. Nightmare is much worse."
"Echo..."she says in a worrying tone, so he cheers her up, by kissing him and says"No need to worry Sky."

Sylver Seeker
After fulfilling the duty all arch necromancers are tasked with, Sylver Sezari was not expecting to ever wake up again. But he did. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he’s alive once again. In a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content. -The story isn’t grimdark, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either. There will be lighthearted and positive moments, as well as some sad ones. That being said, it’s a whole lot more light than dark. -This is a LITRPG story. Chapters are published every 2 days at 21:00 GMT. Author’s note:-It can get very GORY. I’m somewhat desensitized to gore and violence. So while the story isn’t full of gore for the sake of gore, it can get a little too descriptive.-The MC is a necromancer, so corpses and decay, and all the things that come with it, will be mentioned from time to time.-I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Slavic, and Greek mythology, so expect quite a bit of that. That said, so much is altered, you’ll be hard-pressed to guess how exactly it is being used.-Despite being ‘immortal’ the MC can die. In the event he does, the story doesn’t end, simply time skips forward. Which in some cases is going to be worse than just dying.-I love plot twists, as much as I love red herrings and Chekhov guns. Deus Ex Machina’s not so much. Cover: https://angshumandhar.artstation.com/projects
