《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 272: Settling in Yet Again

Harold was a little late, but introductions were made. Names were exchanged, but not much else. Whenever they started to explain something, Azrail would trail off on some tangent before someone interrupted him. Like a wheel that would spin, but never actually went anywhere.
"No, seriously." Og'drimun argued.
"I'm telling you, that's the way it happened." Abraham snorted derisively.
The demon sat next to the holy warrior. Two mugs of alcohol sat at their sides.
"But he's never said a word!" The demon continued.
"If you'd just listen," Abraham snapped. "You'd know that he did say something. All prim and proper too."
Og'drimun shook his head. "You must've imagined it. Guy wouldn't even move if it wasn't to slice something in half."
"Oh yeah, he did that too," Abraham nodded with a smirk. "Guy really knew how to get the blood spilling."
"Heh, you should see me in my prime," Og'drimun smirked. "Now that's real power. I could barely be contained when I let out a sliver of it around here."
"Oh yeah?" Abraham mused. "You could show me now."
"Hah! Good one." Og'drimun snorted. "You definitely don't want that."
"Oh, but I really do." Abraham grinned maliciously. "Unless you're scared?"
Abraham grabbed his mug with a quick swing of his arm, and quickly downed the whole thing in one quick swig.
"I'm not scared!" Og'drimun protested. "I mean, as if I could be scared. I'm so powerful after all. It's just...uh...it's just...a hassle! Yeah, it's such a hassle really, not worth it at all. I'd have to convince Narissa too, and it'd be a whole thing."
"Uh huh." Abraham said.
"Seriously, you'll just have to take my word on how awesome I was, and how powerful I really am." The demon continued.

"They're staying there, right?" Ted asked.
Narissa raised an eyebrow at Ted. "That's what you're worried about? Not how this place is suddenly back and better than ever?"
"I mean," Ted shrugged. "I figure I'd focus my priorities. Making sure they're on the road to recovery feels more important than figuring our what happened."
"And do you actually trust these new guys?" Narissa asked.
Ted wasn't sure why she would ask that. "Of course I do." He said.
I mean, he had nothing to go off of but their word. So why not? What would really be different than how things were with the others? Although, he did want to try and get communal dinners going with then ro help them ease into things.
Narissa shook her head. "Your naivete can really be frustrating at times." Then, she reached over and ruffled his hair. "But I guess at least it suits you."
"Hah, yeah yeah." Ted sighed as he backed away from her reach. "Oh! That reminded me. I should get to work on some kind of alcohol. They got into the stores, and we probably have little to none left."
Narissa nodded. "I can't say I'd be opposed to that. As long as you could see fit to start with some fruity rum?"
Ted smiled. "That's a great idea! As long as I can find something fruity. A nice safe option everyone could enjoy."
"Oh sure. Everyone." Narissa nodded. "Well, I suppose I should assess the damage and claim my room yet again."
She placed a gloved hand on the stair's railing. "This place it feels almost the same as before, and yet completely different."
"Well, maybe we should think of another nand other than the oasis?" Ted suggested.
Narissa started to walk up the stairs. "Whatever you prefer. I'm not overly committed one way or another dear."
Ted silently waved to her before he turned snd walked towards the kitchen. Now, that was the place he really needed to check out.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
