《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 8 - Awake 2.0
Advertisement
And a familiar feeling graces me with it's presence at last, I wake up and before opening my eyes I think of what the hell is waiting for me to do so. last time My brother In all his 8 bit glory was there, the Headmaster with his white suit and wooden smiling tribal mask, there was Kate who looked like she had something to say but I didn't care enough to think about it and there there along with creepy nurse with an Axe in her head who looked at home within horror movies.
What DELIGHTFUL thins are waiting for me now. So I listen in. and hear some mumbling, to quite for e to hear clearly. however that was soon fixed.
[A Skill Has Been Created Through A Special Action: Advanced Hearing, you can now hear quite mumbles like they are spoken right into your ear and loud noises also have less affect on your ears, the range of effect is 5 meters but can be increased with skill level]
ah, good old skill level, it does not display when it increases level, no because that would be to easy, but I started to hear something I wish I didn't
"... So because of that we have to keep an eye on him so he does not go into this Auto Plot again, I was able to block that kick but if I was not there you would have been killed Kate, So try to keep his damage to a minimum while we think of a way to stop this Auto Pilot before someone gets hurt" said the Headmaster in a grim tone.
"But if we keep his old limiter on top of that he will die the next time a creature of the mist comes by chance" My brother said in my defence.
"But if we remove it the Creatures of the mist are attracted to him and when that happens we cant protect him, His growth is to great even by my standers, you had slow exp gain so at least you were manageable. he gains a new skill for convenience and has an infinite amount of potential growth, the mist will come in numbers not even I can deal with" said the Headmaster.

I can guess that they have 1 seal on me to limit my levelling, as I discovered earlier thanks to an annoying narrator which is never getting turned on again. I also take note of what they are saying but I still take the moment of silence cast over everyone to speak my mind,
"so why not make me strong enough to handle it before that happens" I say trying to hide all fear of what training I would have to go through
"hmm..." the Headmaster entered deep thought before speaking in a soft yet strangely horrifying tone "there is a way, but you would have to enter the dark room" he said while a grin appeared onto his wooden mask? Not even going to ask
"..." everyone went quite
I looked around to see my brother the headmaster and Kate, nurse must be in some poor kids nightmare to busy to come out and play.
"He would die, I could not even survive longer then a week of training and I am level 60. he is level 1. how could he make it when I could not?" he asked showing his 8 bit MMO game off again.
"you do realise my ability of the gamer is a more powerful MMO then yours right?" I said before he looked at me and He flashed worry at me for a second?
"that room is... you wont survive" he said with sorrow and worry for his brother
"He will either die training or come out stronger then ever. Or the limiter stays on, with skills alone I am sure he can still get fairly strong even if it is nothing by comparison." the Headmaster said looking at me almost giving me the choice yet knowing what I would choose.
Damn it he can read me like a book... or a computer screen... However I know my self what I want.
"take me to this dark room of yours. I wish to become stronger." I say while everyone else in the room went white. they knew something about this room that I didn't although it sounds scary I have to get stronger I must.

"As you wish, after your next class come over to my office and prepare your self, I think I have a body bag your size however I would like to Double check for when you die" he said straight face as He walked out the room.
"I will get started on funeral preparations" my brother said while looking at me
"Michael that is not nice, there is still hope" Kate said to my defence, I would have expected her to be that last person to say that
"In 'THAT' room, any other training I may have been joking just to annoy my brother, but that room... If he survives he will be a different person then he was before." my brother says and to this Kate said nothing and hung her head in a way that made it seem like she was agreeing with him... WAIT I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING
"what happened that that other guy, the one that was also in the room, Is he ok?" I ask knowing the damage that I caused
"Yea, Lucky him, he got out of there without so much as a scratch" Michael said
"LIKE HELL HE DID" I said in a shout thinking of just how much his leg would be wrecked from that kick, the kick went through his leg and into the cold hard floor. through the floor boards and Into the rock beneath the wooden floor.
"I could have sworn that I..." Before I could keep talking He came in and grabbed me and dragged me off before anyone cold stop him this time.
He dragged me outside of the building and At a rate where I was out of the building in a second, however it did not hurt at all... why cant the Headmaster or Kate do it like that???
Before I knew it we stopped and the 3 fists looked so tiny, we were very far away, I just decided to ask the most obvious question that someone could ask in this situation of madness.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked with a confused expression on my face
"your ability... what does it say about me?" he asked
I looked up to confirm and sure enough nothing has changed
[On This World I Stand Alone]
no other information where there normally is... AKA the name
"I can only see your title, which is On This World I Stand Alone" I say this and he looks surprised instead of his normal emotionless face
"your ability is dangerous, Never tell anyone that or else I will kill you" he said as he reverted back to his emotionless side.
"Why? what does it mean?" I ask
"you have no need or right to know besides satisfying your own selfish curiosity, I am not asking, I am telling you to stay out of it" he said in a monotone
"ok... so anything else?" I ask hoping to get out of this situation before I make it worse with my bad luck
"Yes" he said looking at me strangely
"What?" I asked wondering what could possibly be left
"you were supposed to be going to class 5 minuets ago..." he said as I had forgotten about the time
"oh crap" I said while running back as fast as possible
This class I have my first sparring match, everyone else Has had theirs. while I was Unconscious the first time. I think one person was absent but I am told he normally Is as He does not have a partner. which is dangerous however he is said to be a fighting genius anyway.
So I run off to my first full on fight with Kate, Oh joy, I may die before even going into the Dark Room... Gives me a chance to test out some of my powers I have been getting.
I will be able to test out all my skills except the one I got form my first Quest. which is to powerful no mater how you look at it, random rewards give me something I can use NOW not when I am 100 years old damn it. oh well, time to get stronger.

Lacraea: The Slow Journey To riches [HIATUS]
Darren was a successful businessman, founder of the biggest publishing studio AoE studios. He lived a good life that is, until he dies. He's given a choice. either he goes to the traditional heaven, where theres no internet, TV , meat, and sex OR he goes to a fantasy world like the many his company has published. Defeat a big bad boss and become filthy rich.

Oh and no respawns. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ No OP characters, No chosen one,and no "oh I did something that MILLIONS of other people just didn't think to do". I am also going to try my best to stick with realism. what a guy transported to medieval times would likely do with zero knowledge of cultures or combat aside from a few TV shows. If you're looking for a powerful chosen one who defeats scores of enemies without even looking, or who finds an ancient artifact to defeat a dark lord this isn't it.
