《Worlds within world》Chapter 13:

Huang Hei POV
Huang Hei flew in place in front of Her Royal Highness. Her large curves on her body made her all the more holy and Queen-like. The shiny and long coat of black and yellow fuzz on her body showed how regal and above all other of their kind she was.
‘She is truly the Royal Queen, the one that all queens answer to. I cannot wait until my queen has grown enough to be called a true queen in public. Calling her “princess” is just weird for me. But then again, I’ll just guard her until she matures enough to start her own hive soon.’
Imaging him serving one of the candidates for future Royal Queen, Hei’s thoughts was brought back to earth when Her Royal Highness spoke.
“Tell me Huang Hei, 23rd of the 1430th generation. What do you have to say for yourself?”
Hei bowed his head down, allowing his body to float onto the floor. “I am truly sorry your Highness! I didn’t plan for things to turn out like this! At first, I had thought that this simple and rewarding sect mission was a simple and easy one. But during it I ran into these humans and tried to flee. But I never expected them to keep following me for so long and track me back to here. I have nothing else to say, you may punish me as you see fit.”
Her Royal Highness didn’t seem angry about the whole thing, in fact her body language suggest the exact opposite.
"It seems you have misunderstood why I have called you here, Huang Hei as of today you are to bring your new queen outside the hive and allow her to do as she wishes. God knows how long she was trying to get out, and now she even got a good excuse..." She paused for a second; seeming to think about something, "Even though it's rather early for that. But then again, I suppose this was going to happen sooner or later. Good thing you came around when you did. I wouldn't have been able to entrust her to you if you weren't one of the precious few males in this entire hive."
Huang Hei felt happiness well up inside of him from her words, but then the meaning of those words sunk in.
"Um, your Royal Highness, what do you mean bring out the princess? She still hasn’t fully matured and doesn't that also mean that you're telling her to make a new hive elsewhere? What brought this suddenly?"
Her gaze felt like piercing needles, "I don't think I need to tell you why, after all you were there at the time. Somehow I doubted you had forgotten to inform me of that particular incident when you gave me that little rundown just now. Maybe you felt it would be better to sweep it all under the rug?"
Huang Hei felt the air around him thicken, as if gravity had increased in weight around him and causing his breath to become heavy.
'Shit... I thought she wasn't watching at the time! It wasn't my fault that he fed her! Besides the royal jelly wasn't even supposed to be there! That was a FUCKING STORAGE ROOM!'

"Oh? Is there something you wish to ask?" Huang Hei resisted the urge to lift his head. He could feel her amused look on his body even without sight. "Maybe you might have been wondering why there was royal jelly inside of the storage room? Or how about why my daughter was wondering around the hive and not inside the nursery? Come on, do ask."
"I apologize your Royal Highness, I have nothing to ask. It was all a result of my failure that led to the current situation; I take full responsibility for my actions."
Huang Hei felt a calm touch from the Royal Highness, "Relax, I was just joking around. I had to set something up so that there wouldn't be some kind of issue later on right? Just think of it as a mother worrying about her children's future." She gently lifted his head up; her beautiful wide compound eyes looked into his. "Now remember don't mention anything to that child, I see great potential in him and I feel that it would do him good to not get a swollen head. After all, who else can marry into royalty without even knowing what that is?"
Signaling him away, Huang Hei left the large oval chambers the Royal Highness used as a throne room as her chuckling echoed out from it.
'This is the last time I'm going to take a sect mission outside the sect!'

Human's POV
“ATTACK!!! Smash through this bug nest! They’re so scared that not even a single one of these bugs came to fight back! AHAHAHA-“ The man’s laughter was cut off when something huge and yellow smashed right into him. Part of the structure exploded, while the remaining part continued to fly off into the horizon.
Other humans who had been throwing down long-range attacks on the beehive stopped and flew up even further away from the ground.
The unlucky dude fell from the sky, with his magical artifact falling alongside him in pieces from the explosion.
“They’re fighting back now! Get into formation guys!” One man, who appeared to be a leader of a small group yelled at his members.
Humans were flying around back and forth in the air above the huge yellow beehive. Everyone seemed prepared for the start of the true fight.
Well a fight wasn’t exactly what they came for - rather more of a means to an end as a way to get those children. A pity that greed threw the concept of “power-levels” and such completely out of their minds.
So they were quite surprised when a clear laughter came from within the beehive, before a giant orb or energy flew out of a strange hole before detonating right in the middle of their group.
Then other then pieces of random junk falling down, the place returned back to a nice peaceful silence.
Just the way it was meant to be.
---------------------------------------
Will felt the room shudder and shake, bits and pieces of the honeycomb walls fell down from the ceiling.
“Um… Mr.Bee-Bee? Can I now stand up? I think this place is falling down, maybe we should run?”
“I said my name is Huang Fei, come on, just repeat after me. Hu-ang. F-Ei.”

Will stared at the ground as she spoke, as it was the only thing he could do in his current position. He was in a servant-like position with his knees and his head lowered on the ground. It was like when those transported to another world people arrive and everyone is bowing so low that their heads are touching the ground. Though in his case, it’s his head doing the bowing.
‘Still this really is a weird position, why can’t I move my head or hands? I’m basically looking like I begging for mercy in a lost war or something…Is that supposed to be the point?’
Lifting up his head, Will saw a oddly familiar scene. Somehow those filtered lights were flicking in and out of view, but underneath it was random multi-colors mixed at random.
‘Is it me, or did my eyes go crazy again?’
Will spoke again, “Say, Fee –“ The loli glared at him again, “I mean Fee… Feeee…Fii… Mr.Bee-Bee why is the entire place shaking and why are you suddenly multi-colored?”
The loli sighed, seeming to understand that for some weird reason Will was unable to pronoun her name. “Whatever, call me Fee then. I’ll only allow you to call me that. Anyways the shaking should disappear in a few minutes. As for those colors you’re seeing; I have a question for you instead, what color is my hair? Or how about my eyes?”
‘Huh? Her hair color is obviously…that’s weird…’
Will looked at the loli again, and tried to see her features but somehow can’t seem to see it. It’s like he’s looking at a two-way mirror but on the wrong side. He could tell she was there but everything from her face down to the tips of her toes he just isn’t able to make out.
“You didn’t notice did you? I’m currently in an illusion formation, nothing can see inside of this. This is entirely why you thought I am completely naked just so you know. The shaking messed with the formation a little, but now it should be back to normal. It was funny at first but to tell you the truth I am completely clothed.”
‘Somehow that last sentence sounded off…’
Will decided to ignore the commando Mr.Bee-Bee/Fee, and focus at the main parts. “So you’re saying that isn’t your true appearance? Then what do you look like? Take off this… illusion formation thingy.”
“What are you talking about? I will do no such thing! Besides you don’t have the right to see my true form anyways! Now go away! I have, err, something to do!” Her hurried reply told Will that her earlier statement was at best partly true.
‘Well whatever… I guess I’ll go find Big Sissy and my minions.’
After checking with the light-covered loli again, Will calmly stepped out the magical entrance and out into the hallways.
‘I bet it’s probably the materials they make clothing out of that is the problem. If I can find something like silk… then again I don’t know the first thing about clothing do I? I’ll just leave it to the professionals.’
Will looked behind him as the wall collapsed on itself and sealed the hole he just exited out of. Then he realized something, he had no idea where he was or where his other companions had been locked up in.
Sighing, Will turned around and started knocking on the dead end wall, “Mr.Bee-Bee! I don’t know where my Big Sissy is! Also I don’t really know where I am…Can you hear me?”
The wall gave no reply, but after a few seconds later another giant bee showed up behind him from the corridor that he had arrived from.
Buzzing it indicated for Will to follow with a leg gesture before leading the way away.
Will figured the loli probably was the one who set this up and didn’t hesitate before following the giant insect.

Somewhere, someone’s who is quite a bit far away POV
“Elder Flamedeer! I have urgent news!”
A young looking man opened his eyes from his sitting mediation position; he looked around his dull grey cultivation cave and waved a hand at the entrance.
Before even fully inside the cave, the voice started talking, “Sir, I just realized something extremely bad! I was looking through those missions on the sect wall and was going through them to see if any of them was outdated. But then I found this one!”
The “person” in question was a talking blue fox, every time it spoke its mouth stayed opened but words came out instead of growls.
Above the fox was a floating jewelry like jade stick, which the man gestured at and snatched into his hands.
After pouring a bit of his cultivation into it, his eyes widened. Then his expression stiffened before turning into the face of a pissed off devil, “Who the F*CK set this mission as available for Foundation Establishment and above? Which dumbass wants a repeat? SH*T!”
Yelling, the man turned into a flaming deer before bounding out of his cultivation cave, screaming on the top of his lungs, “ELDERS AND ABOVE TO ME!”
Usually someone in his position as an elder would never have the guts to do even something like calling all the elders together. So calling people like the Patriarch, Grand Elders, and other higher positions is a terrible idea, but he had no other choice.
The jade stick that floated above his head felt like a ticking time bomb, and if anyone else had read it. They would have also been driven into an frenzy.
It only had a couple of sentences on it.
“Sect Mission: Protect two elder’s children and return them to the sect.
Award : 10,000 Sect Points and a one-time use explosive magical artifact
Requirement : Foundation Establishment and above
Current Status : Taken – Huang Hei of the Yellow-Black Bee race, Foundation Establishment. Given automatically due to meeting requirements and nearby. “
There are only two elders who are married to each other in their sect, and one of them is known as Elder ExplosiveCat. The same one responsible for that little fire raining incident that occurred a while back.
Elder Flamedeer could still feel her wrath and his fur itched where the burn wounds healed.
Sometimes he wondered why he bothered being an elder if it meant dealing with her.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
