(777's POV)
I snuck behind a guard and slowely took his gun out of it's holster. When I had it in my grasp, I loaded it and shot him in the head and he died. "It was written in a magazine...whatever I do will turn out well, because the star I was born under is at it's peak...therefore...I figured a prison break would be easy! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm out! And you can't catch me!" I yelled, running out of Domino Prison.
"Prisoner 777 has escaped from Domino Prison! He killed a guard and escaped! Furthermore, he is in possession of a pistol and heading for Domino City...our first priority is to alert the townspeople!" a voice over an alarm said.
*The next day...*
(Yugi's POV)
"Finally, school is over! Hey, Yugi, do you wanna go to that new restaurant, Burger World?" Joey asked me.
"You shouldn't go there! They first day they opened, a bunch of people got really sick from their burgers! Trust me!" Teá said, seeming suspicious.
"Okay..." I said, sad that I couldn't get a small meal before I went home.
As soon as Teá left the classroom, Joey whispered a theory to me. "Hey, Yugi, I think that Teá's been holding a secret job! Wanna go check it out to make sure?" Joey asked.
"Uh...s-sure?" I said, my face turning bright red.
"Your face is all red! HAHAHAHA!" Joey said, laughing.
*Later...*
"That must be where she works!" Joeu said when we saw Teá walk into a building.
"B-But, didn't she say she hated Burger World?" I ask, confused.
"Let's just check it out, Yugi," Joey said, unwavering from his theory.
We got inside Burger world and saw Teá at a booth kissing another girl we know named Nosaka Miho. Teá, who was facing towards the door, noticed up and told Nosaka an excuse and walked up to us. "Yugi, Joey! Why are you two here?! If I'm exposed as a lesbian, my reputation will be ruined! So keep quiet or I kill both of you!" Teá said, angry.

"No, problem. Me and Yugi promise not to tell a soul!" Joey said with a friendly smile on his face.
While we were talking, a man in an orange jumpsuit with three sevens tattooed on his forehead and the word fever tattooed on his left cheek walked behind Teá and grabbed her, putting a gun up to her head. "Listen up! Make any noise and this chick gets it!" thw man said.
"It's the escaped prisoner!" Nosaka said, shocked.
"Teá!" me and Joey said in unison.
"Get on the ground! All of you! I intend to eat and leave! And, I'll keep this girl next to me with a blindfold on, so no one tries anything! You, shrimp with the weird pendent! Go get me some booze, a lighter, and a pack of cigarettes! Only the brand 'Lucky Stripes'!" 777 yelled at me.
"Yami! Please, rescue Teá! Take over my body!" I thought as I walked back with the things 777 ordered.
"Of course, Master," Yami replied and took over.
(Yami's POV)
"Here's what you ordered, Prisoner-san!" I said as I sat in the booth.
"Did I say you could sit down?!" Prisoner-san yelled, angry.
"Whaaaat? I thought I'd keep you company... if you've got the guts, how about we play a game?" I said, taunting Prisoner-san.
"A...A game? Hmmmm...a game...I need to have a little fun..." Prisoner-san replied.
"The winner gets to 'keep' Teá-chan, while the loser loses their life." I replied, smiling.
"Interesting... what are the rules?" Prisoner-san asked, begining to pour booze into his cup.
"We have to stay on opposite sides of the table, but we can interact. But, we can only move on finger out of all ten. The finger you use is entirely up to you. Which will you choose?" I asked.

"My right index finger to pull this trigger..." Prisoner-san said with a psychotic smile.
"In that case, I choose my right thumb! Now, game start!" I replied.
"And now, game over!" Prisoner-san said, and was about to pull the trigger when he noticed me use my thumb to open the lighter. "Ah, I forgot about that lighter! As your last act, light my cigarette!" Prisoner-san said, and I complied.
"Here's the lighter! Take it with you to the next world!" I said and dropped the lighter on the booze bottle, grabbed Teá-chan and ran from Prisoner-san. The lighter slipped off the bittle and Prisoner-san burst into flames.
"Don't worry, Teá-chan, it's me, Yugi. Here let me hope you take that blindfold off." I said, and let Yugi take back control.
(Yugi's POV)
"There you go, Teá! Now, continue your date with Nosaka, somewhere else of course." I said and encouraged Joey to follow me outside and leave Teá and Nosaka alone.

Deviation
There is a place in the far off reaches of space. It is a lonely place in the barest portion at the edge of the universe. There are no stars or other planets for light-years. A region few have ever wanted to visit and fewer still actually have. If you were to visit you'd find and small rip in space-time leading to the most bizarre and out of place thing you have ever seen. A solar system consisting of five planets, all with life, all stuck in conflict, and all absolutely bursting with energy. For some it seems like a paradise. A land of sword and sorcery? Why would anyone pass that up? That was the thought process of the freshly dead boy. This boy, like many before him and many after him, was trying to find the bright side. Things had finally been going right for him, good grades, new friends, and best of all a girlfriend when the entire world ended. No huff, no puff, just poof the end. At least being reborn into this world would be fun. That definitely sounded like a bright side to most. Fracture, one of the five worlds in question, was massive and full of magic. It looked sounded and felt like it would be just another game, it even had prompts and levels. Piece of cake. Well that might be the case if Fracture was meant to be a paradise. The hottest fires forge the strongest swords. This fire has the habit of melting away oneself. A pixie clan searching for a new home, a boy who just lost his, a reality bending forest, and a bug that doesn't belong. All with an intense desire for power. Who will make it through the fire intact, and will they choose to be a hero, or will they join the long history of villains and monsters?

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
