《Silver》36

Ethan's POV
A week.
It's been an entire week that Silver has been missing.
After the first few days when our personal investigation was still hectic I left Aiddan with my mother. The first day after we couldn't come up with a lead we had contacted the police but they just laughed us off saying she probably wanted a break away and was in some hotel. But after three or four days and my constant pestering they finally sent some detectives to talk with me about this. Long story short, they are also now on the case. Not legally though. Because the police department won't take the case because they think I'm lying about what happened.
But Detective Somerset and Conan took pity upon me and believed what I said. They said they would help in any way they could. But when we found the kidnapper, we had to call them so that they could make a legal arrest.
We agreed but we told them that we weren't going to promise them that they would leave with them unharmed.
I had picked Aiddan up last night and ever since he woke up he's been by my side non-stop. It was comforting to know that he at least wouldn't get hurt. Both of us miss Silver terribly badly. This whole week I have barely gotten any sleep and Aiddan doesn't understand isn't home yet.
He's a smart boy but sometimes he needs to be shielded from some of the terrifying facts in life.
"Hey Ethan." Marco yelled from another room in his house. We had been staying here while the investigation was in progress because he has all the equipment we need.
"Yeah?" I yelled back looking up from the sight of a sleeping Aiddan.
"Come here for a second. I have to tell you a few things." Marco yelled calmly as I gently set Aiddan down.

Walking into the dining room where Marco was sitting in front of a computer I stopped in front of him. "What's up?"
"Giusto emailed me some pictures of the car that took Silver." Marco gravely stated looking at me.
"Isn't that good?" I exclaimed, getting excited that I'll be seeing my Silver soon.
"Yes and no." He started turning his full attention onto me. "Yes, because at least we know the general area of where she could be. No, because the license plate is from a stolen vehicle in Colorado."
"Can't we narrow the area down? I mean this is New York! There's security cameras everywhere!" I claim, desperately trying to grasp onto some piece of hope that we would be able to find her and bring her back home.
"Possibly. Giusto is already looking into that. He will get back to us as soon as possible." Marco replied, glancing back at the computer then over at a sleeping Ashton, who was in an awkward position in the chair across from him.
"Is there anything going on between you two?" I demanded grinning as I saw Marco blush slightly.
"Nope." he stated turning his gaze from Ashton back to the computer. "Not a thing."
"That's too bad." I say before making my way back to Aiddan leaving a confused Marco by himself.
Silver's POV
Disgustedly I looked at the food that was on the tray in front of me. "Really, Rhys? This is the best food they can give me?"
"Uh, I guess?" He questioned, obviously oblivious to what was beside this building.
Rhys and I had gotten to during the time I have been stuck here. He's a really sweet kid. And from what little he has told me he hadn't wanted to do anything illegal like guarding a kidnapped woman but he was being forced to by someone who had his sister.

I felt so bad for him. I am only a fifteen year old and he has no parents to take care of him or his sister. He hasn't told me much about his sister other than she's younger than him. Although it's only been a week I've kind of grown attached to him.
Taco.
I really want a taco. I thought to myself internally groaning at the food in front of me.
Sighing in resignation I take a spoonful of the goop that was my food. Bringing it to my mouth I start to eat it. But almost immediately I ran to the side of the room where a bucket had been placed and threw up.
I haven't been this sick in a long time. The last time I was this bad was when...
I was pregnant. With Aiddan.
Shit. I can't possibly be pregnant can I? I mean, it was only one time?
But then again Aiddan was only one time too.
"Uh, Rhys?" I whisper as I wiped my mouth with the rag that he had given me the first day I was here.
"Yes?" he replied, sounding uncomfortable as he had turned away to give me privacy when I threw up.
"When does your shift end?" I questioned slowly as he turned around in confusion.
"In about ten minutes. Why?" he asked curiously as he walked towards me to help me up from the floor.
"Because I need you to do something for me." Before he could protest I continued. "It's nothing bad. I just need you to buy me something."
"Oh, okay. Well what do you need me to buy?" he sighed with relief visibly on his face.
"A...pregnancy test?" I state, unsure of how he would react.
He paled slightly before backing out of the room. Just about when he closed the door he replied, "Yes. I will."
Oh thank the lord. I sigh to myself.
I hope Aiddan and Ethan are doing fine and aren't too worried about me.
Worrying isn't healthy. I don't want them to get sick or hurt.
With that thought I lay in the bed provided for me and do the only thing I could while in this confinement. Sleep.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
