《Fantasy Tech Online》Chapter 8: A tale of king and kid
Advertisement
The guard grabs Rellik by the collar and brings him with him to a room at the end of the hall. During the walk they start talking.
-Why do you attack these defenceless people? The boy asks. They don't even have space travel so they can't be much of a nuissance.
-I don't know, it's an order from the king, and you don't want to argue with the king. The elf shakes his head.
-Why not? Rellik asks. If he's a tyrant, why don't we rebel?
-He's paranoid, my ma tried to rebel too. Tears well up in the soldier's eyes. She was a journalist, my ma was, she just wrote a less than flattering article about the king and for that, she got executed.
-But still, the humans have done nothing to the king, unless this planet is important for something.
The guard takes Rellik and pushes him against the wall and starts talking rapidly to him in a whisper.
-Listen kid, you don't know what you're talking about. He looks around fearfully. I heard that this planet has a crystallized mana core, a one metre sphere of that stuff can power a ship like this one.
A current of electricity sparks from the man's badge. He drops on the ground, twitching for a moment before going still.
Natural manufactured
4 Sun elf femurs
1 Set of elven guard armor (+ 25% to all stats)
-I am so not wearing that. Rellik says but takes the armor anyways, putting it in his inventory.
-Good, because I need to give it to his family, such a shame really, Suor was a good soldier but the barbaric humans killed him. Rellik looks at the figure of the king in front of him. That's proof that they need to be exterminated.
-That's a lie, you're the one who killed him.

-I know, but who's going to tell them. The king shakes his head. When the only person who knows this is a kid.
-Bast, where are you?
-I'm coming, don't worry?
-Are you done Rellik?
-What are you talking about?
-Every ten levels of a skill you get an upgrade of your choice, Rellik, I happen to have one called illusion sight. They stare in the other's eyes. It lets me see through illusions, but I have to say, the person who made yours is a proffesional, I have to focus on you to dispel the illusion.
At the mention of skill levels, a notification appears in front of Rellik.

8 299Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
