"Please be quiet," Sid requested as he held a finger over his lips.
What are you talking about, why? Death asked with no regard for how loud he was.
Of course, his volume didn't really matter since his words just appeared in the minds of everyone around him.
Sid looked around as he shook his head and motioned Death to shut his mouth.
Nearby was the smiling man, a human male, a floating ball of eyes and blood, a fish man, and a giant worm monster. Sid glanced over towards them, and then turned back to Death.
"We need to head back," Sid explained. "We do not want to make trouble while several of us are out of commission."
Death shrugged. Bro, chill out. Seriously. They're just belting out some tunes. Figured I'd join them for a bit, you know?"
"Join them?" Sid replied. "He was and is our prison guard. He also tried to coerce all of us into killing each other, then just attempted to do that on his own."
Despite Sid's voice still being in a whisper, Death talked in his normal, loud voice for hid half of thr conversation.
That was ages ago. Death scoffed. You don't need to cling onto the past so much dude. Just live and let live, you know?
"That is the problem," Sid sighed. "He was unable to let us just live. I doubt he has changed his motivations and personality so quickly."
Death shook his head. Nah dude. We were away for a while. This whole place has been rebuilt. That's plenty of time to turn his life around.
Sid looked back at the other group anxiously. They still seemed preoccupied with the karaoke.
"I will agree to argue this with you back with the others, but this is not am adequate venue for this discussion." Sid explained.

Death paused to tsp hid chin. But the karaoke... he mused.
Sid looked back and the giant worm seemed like it had turned their direction. Sid quickly ducked down, and pulled Death down with him.
"How about I agree that I will take you back for karaoke when this ordeal is concluded?" Sid suggested.
Okay okay. Now we're getting somewhere. Death agreed with a nod. But what else will I get if I go with you?
"Continued existence," Sid offered. "Now let us go."
The shiny skeletal hand grabbed ahold of Death's dull arm bone and started to pull him away. The skeleton started to resist, but gave up when he couldn't break Sid's grip with a karate chop to his finger.
Dang, you're pretty tough. Death said as Sid dragged him away silently.
As the two of them disappeared, Will turned towards the smiling man and asked, "Hey, did you hear something like stone grinding against stone?"
The smiling man chuckled. "Oh? You heard something? I thought you were going to sing for us so that we could hear you?"
Will stepped back on the stage and smiled as he held the microphone. "Nah, it's probably nothing then," he said.
And with that, Will motioned for the others to join him. "Come on up! I think I finally found a song with enough parts we could all sing a bit."
With various stages of reluctance, the four others joined him on stage, and together they sang through several songs with a surprisingly complex number of parts.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
