《Heart Of Stone》Chapter 2
Advertisement
It was early morning; the whole group was up and eating an average breakfast of fruits and dried meat. After they ate, the group got ready to steal valuables and headed out. They were on the streets with officers about the danger of being caught an all-time high. Everyone scattered, stealthily grabbing anything valuable from unsuspecting people, and Jasper tried his hardest to keep up, the only thought in my mind was the big heist.
As he got distracted from these thoughts, he bumped into an officer, mumbling a quick apology as he speeds walks away. The officer stared at the back of the kid that bumped into him, a weird feeling overcoming him, and the officer keeps in mind to watch out for him in the future.
Jasper bites his lip as he walks away, almost drawing blood, and cursing himself, ‘Shit! That guy saw me! I need to lay low for a while, keep away from hot spots for now.’
The group of thieves gathered back together at a remote abandoned building, going over the things they stole and, of course, boasting about it. Everyone except Jasper, he was sitting there quietly with his head down and eyebrows furrowed in concerned. One of the guys noticed this, scooting closer to him and wrapping an arm around the other. The guy was a skinny, pale man with a mop of messy, spiky dirty blonde hair, a rat-like face, and beady black eyes. He stares at Jasper with an ever-present sly grin on his face, leaning in close,
“What’s wrong, Jazzy? Didn’t get a big haul like us?” Jasper rolls eyes as the other thief chuckles, shoving the arm off,
“It’s nothing, leave it.” The rat-looking guy shakes his head, giving him a pointed look,
“Yeah, right, I’ve known you since you were a little kid. I would know when something was wrong.” He sighs heavily, still staring at the ground,

“One of the officers saw me. I don’t know if he will remember me, but I messed up big time.” The other man’s eyes go wide, sitting up straight as a board, and he shouts,
“You got caught! What?!” Jasper immediately starts aggressively, shushing him, looking panicked towards the boss and the other man to see if they heard them and whispers,
“Shut up, Tim! I just bumped into him, not as I gave him a good look at me or anything.” Tim calms down a little, taking a deep breath with his palm pressed against his sweaty forehead,
“This is bad! Really, bad. What if the officers find you? O-or finds out you’re submissive.” He rolls his eyes again at that,
“Stop freaking out. If I keep my head down for a few days, everything should be fine.” Tim sighs, looking at Jasper uncertainly,
“Iii don’t know about this, it still seems like we could get in trouble.” He was about to say something when the boss called them over, he clears his throat then addresses the rest of the group,
“We need to go over the plan before the big heist, meet me in my ‘office’.”
Everyone nods, filling into the office, and once again, Jasper takes a seat while the others stand. Max takes place on his chair, taking out a map of the manor that will host the party and lays it down on his desk,
“The party will be taking place mainly here.’, he points at the ballroom on the map.
“So, the rest of the building will be empty except for a few guards on watch and some stragglers, so stay alert and for god’s sake keep quiet. Everyone understand?”
There was a chorus of yesses and a grunt from this big, muscled dark-skinned man who was also slightly chubby. He was bald and had a rounded rectangular head with small, round blue eyes near around a short, rectangular nose.

“Good, I will give each of you an individual path to follow. Get as many valuables you can and then get out of there.”
Jasper listens carefully, checking things over in his mind. After a few more points have been gone over the boss dismisses everyone, he heads to the one quiet place where he can think. Once Jasper is there, he sits on the ledge of a big window, mind lost in thought, and he stares out of the window, ‘This is it, it’s happening. The plan is all set; all I need to do now is not screw up again.’ He could already feel the anticipation building up in him, ready to explode.

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]
