《Let's Explore The New World!》6.Something Good

"Are you excited? You're excited aren't you? Worry not my boy we are almost there bwahaha!""
(Monotone)"I cant wait "
We are under the academy walking through a dark corridor with various doors.After leaving Cyril's office ,Belle got a call about some disturbance so she left,leaving me alone with Cyril.I thought It was the perfect chance to run away...I was wrong..so ...so wrong. as soon as I tried Cyril suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me in the stomach and i blacked out.Next thing I know I'm being carried down some stairs and I have a giant bruise on my stomach.Needless to say I was not going to run away again.
"Why does this feel like I'm walking through a dungeon.." I said as I looked around.After descending the last step what revealed itself was a corridor,the walls and floor were made of stone with only the occasional torch keeping the darkness from swallowing everything.
"That's because it was a dungeon ! The school needed a place for storage and labs,you think we're made of money!?.Do you know how expensive it is to build a new building?! I can throw out my hip just thinking about it..."
"If this place is just used for those things then why are we coming here? We picking something up for the test?"
We advanced through the corridor making all kinds of turns.Feels like maze.
"Let me correct my self,The first and second floor are used for those things ,the third floor...is a bit special hehehe"
We descended down another floor and walk through in silence ,whatever is in the third floor I'll soon find out.
"So ..what kind of test is it?'
"Nothing grand ju-oh you reminded me !'
Cyril hands me a dagger he took out of his robe
"For the test"
I'm not liking where this is going
"The rules to pass are simple,survive .That's it, easy right?"
".......I request a different test"
"Request denied"
I wonder if i could just...stab him and run ....no ..It wouldn't work.A normal punch from him instantly knocked me out,I don't want to find out what would happen if he gets serious.

"Here we are !"
We stop in front of a huge metal door.Cyril casually explains as he opens it
"Now,I'll come back tomorrow morning to pick you up so make sure you're at the entrance.A few things to keep in mind are !"
Cyril poses
" 1.Don't go too deep ! There is a small chance you'll run into the stronger monsters.and 2. some walls may be unstable be careful not to get crushed mwahah"
"wait what the hell do you mean come back ?! you're not going to be th-"
Cyril grabs my arm and throws me in
"Have fun ! "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later
"Huff...Huff "I turn the corner and hide in a room,making sure to close the door as quickly and as quietly as I can.
I can hear them getting closer..how am I suppose to deal with them If they run in packs?! If you don't kill them In one hit they start screaming,attracting their comrades !
I peak out the door,I can't see them...and it's quiet I think I lost them.
Goddam killer apples.
Imagine my surprise when I ran into a big ass apple just rolling down the hall.I mean,that doesn't even make sense ! Why apples ?! Shouldn't it be something you would expect to find in a dungeon?!
I step into the corridor
They have mouths with some big fangs.It's just downright disturbing
BANG
I look toward the noise,It's coming from somewhere deeper in the corridors.It started an hour ago,but It's been getting louder ever since.Whatever it is I have a feeling I want to stay the hell away from it.
I follow the hall until I run into an intersection.I shouldn't wander too far from the entrance...I'll make a right.My dagger is ready and I'm on constant alert for any sneak attacks as I walk forward.
Where should I sleep?Should I just barricade myself in a room? No...no I won't feel comfortable sleeping knowing there's monsters roaming the halls.
huh?.....I see something moving in the distance.An apple? But It's not red.........Is that fur?
I freeze
Head of a bull,Muscular upper body covered in fur and hooves instead of feet.
It's a minotaur.

It sniffs the air as if it's looking for something then growls angrily while slamming it's hoove against the floor producing a familiar noise.
The silence right after feels heavy,The only thing I can hear is the sound of my beating heart. It looks up and we make eye contact
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
The sound of my labored breathing and my feet kicking against the floor can be heard.I immediately started running back towards the intersection.
Shortly after,behind me the ground starts to shake with the sound of footsteps,it started chasing me
"Fuck!"
When I reached the intersection I made a right and kept running.
What do I do?! Shit !
I hear a crash behind me.
I try to summon more strength in my legs,hoping there is any.Where the fuck is my power?! In stories the protagonist summoned to a fantasy world always gets some random overpowered power !
A roar comes from behind me completely stopping my thoughts.
Up ahead was a wall with a gate in the middle,there was no other hallway to turn to.
I slow down to open it but It was locked.
fuck! not now!
I slam repeatedly into the gate trying to break through all while the footsteps behind me are getting louder.
The gate only creaks with each slam.
I just came to this world and I'm not going to let some shitty goddam minotaur kill me off so easily !
On my 4th attempt I broke through stumbling while I run past the gate.
Right after I did something slams into the wall.Sending me flying to the floor.
I quickly look back
The minotaur is too big to go through the gate,It starts slamming against the wall.Cracks start appearing on the wall and ceiling,with each hit the cracks get bigger.
That's not good.
Ignoring my panting I get up and start running again.I glance back
The minotaur breaks through but as soon as it does the ceiling starts collapsing completely blocking its path.
But it doesn't stop there,the ceiling keeps collapsing and starts filling the entire hallway with rubble threatening to bury me along with it.
I look around and see a nearby Corridor.I dive into the different corridor and hope for the best.
I feel a pain in my ankle.
"Fuck!"
I wait for the dust to settle before looking back.The rubble completely covered the hallway blocking me from going back.There was scattered boxes on the floor.Looking up,It might of been things from a room in the floor above me.A light pain catches my attention.
I look at my ankle and it's under a rock.
"If it's not monsters,It's collapsing ceilings ."
Pulling my ankle out from under the rock.Blood is being soaked up by my boot and it's starting to drip on the floor.
" Perfect.....wait where's my dagger?ah fuck it"
With a sigh I get up and start going through the boxes
" come on give me something good.Some healing potions would be lovely."
After a while of searching.
it's just useless things! robes,and different types of chemistry glasses.
hm? I guess I missed a box.
It's a small black box wrapped in a red string.I limp over there to pick it up.
Unraveling the string and opening the box I discover...........a brass ring with inscriptions all over it.
What kind of shit is this?
I take it out of the box to inspect it more closely.
I feel it pulse.I instinctively dropped it and backed away
Suddenly there is a small flash and in place of the ring was a chick
"Thou shouldn't go around dropping things! "
She looks slightly younger than me,White hair that reaches the waist,red eyes,ears with a pointed end.
".....Who are you?" I said without thinking.
She gets up and starts dusting herself off
"I should be asking the same thing.There was all that shaking and suddenly thou takes me out of the box.An explanation is due."
She is wearing what looks like a white ceremonial dress
Right now my ankle is damaged,my way back to the exit is blocked,and I have a minotaur after me.Whoever she is she came from a ring,so she should have some sort of magic ability.If all of this is the case then It's obvious what I should do.
"Miss"
This might be my only way to survive
"I need your help"

Shamrock Samurai
How many shotgun blasts does it take to kill a Banshee? Sean’s a martial arts enthusiast who just discovered his Luck magic.

He’ll unload a whole barrel of Luck on these paranormal pests, cruising in his ‘69 Fastback, slaying shades after dark. You’ll ride shotgun with Sean as he battles Banshees, clashes with Leprechauns, strives against Vampires, and defends his own against Celtic Demigods. There’s plenty of magic sword fights, shots fired, car chases, fisticuffs, and portal hopping while adventuring between the Bay Area and the mythical realm of Irish legend, Tir na nOg! ------------------------------------------------ I'm happy to offer this COMPLETE SAGA (6 arcs) here PERMAFREE (never in Kindle Unlimited). Imagine the intense action of JOHN WICK + the swords-n-guns slaying of DEVIL MAY CRY, and that had a baby with CELTIC MYTHOLOGY and some PORTAL HOPPING, add a pinch of INUYASHA's horrific monsters, a smattering of YUYU HAKUSHO angst, and that's Shamrock Samurai.*Contains portal hopping as a major element in each arc, but this story IS NOT Isekai (nothing against it personally. Want to make sure you know what you're getting into). Enjoy, and good luck ☘️! ------------------------------------------------ Readers say... “This series is kind of wild.”_David Simpson, author of the Zombie Road series. “Loved the plot twists and the action.” “I found the concept of magic/luck to be original and refreshing... PLENTY of action.” “Cool blend of geek culture and Gaelic mythology in a modern paranormal setting.” “Hang on till the end. There’s a wild twist I didn’t see coming.”

Shrike
He wants to play the latest and greatest VRMMORPG game, but he can't muster up the cash for the fancy new proprietary hardware and membership license. After months of saving up cash and arduous work, he has built a behemoth of a machine relying almost entirely on seedy old technology and a DIY guide by some dude named "Jimmy Bob." This is the story of his entry into the game. This is also a story of intrigue, exploration, introspection, batshit crazy game design, and unintended but entirely predictable consequences. This is G.C.O. Undergoing a total re-write, mostly because I think things were too rushed rather than any content or direction changes. If you are one of the few who tried Shrike when it was briefly updating, consider giving it another shot. Of no relation to either The Great Crusade or the recent (in 2017 lol) Shrike book for Warhammer by Games Workshop. All similarities in these cases are superficial; please don't sue me. Feedback welcome and encouraged, never be afraid to review or comment. HQ/Kindle-Grade cover art. Book Cover 2.0: "From the Dark"
