《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 19
Advertisement
Oliver and Anatoly are now in what looks like a hospital talking to a little boy who is sick and his mother. Anatoly give the mother some money and tells her to use it for something for the boy when he gets better.
"That was nice of you." Oliver said.
"The boy will not make it. There is no medicine." Anatoly said.
"But tuberculosis is curable." Oliver said.
"Yeah, it is. Like I said, there is no medicine. Bratva doesn't have that much money. We can help pay for the funeral though." Anatoly said.
"Well, that's no good." Oliver said.
"I now have a good idea what our last couple of hours together can be. We go steal some medicine." Anatoly said.
A few hours later Oliver and Anatoly walk back into the hospital with the medicine used to cure the tuberculosis and gave it to the doctors. "Now what do we do?" Oliver asked.
"We go see how much we can drink before we take you back to Lian Yu." Anatoly said as they left the hospital.
The next time Oliver and Anatoly are seen they are in a plane flying toward Lian Yu. "Looks like we are getting close. The weather is starting to get bad." Oliver said.
"It is probably telling us that we should not be here, and I would have to agree with that." Anatoly said.
"Why is it that you couldn't just leave from Russia to get home?" Anatoly asked.
"Because if I leave from Russia people will wonder why I didn't come home sooner so it is better that someone finds me on the island. That way they just think that I was stranded here the whole time." Oliver said.
"Ok, so let's here the plan again." Oliver said.
"I go and pay fishermen to come by the island. You fire an arrow at pile of wood, and it explodes, and the fishermen come and pick you up." Anatoly said.
"Ok, so we are good with the plan then." Oliver said.
They walk a bit further and Oliver picks up an orange and black mask. "That mask brings back bad memories, just like this island does." Anatoly said.
"He was my friend. I guess this must have washed up from the current from the ship." Oliver said as he found a piece of wood and stuck it in the rocks and put the mask on it and put an arrow through the eye of the mask.
Oliver then said that he had to show Anatoly something and he led him to the graves of Robert, Shado, and Taiana. "So, this is the woman you promised that you would kill Kovar?" Anatoly asked.
"Yes, and this is my father, and he is the reason why I have to go home now. I have to go and save my city for him." Oliver said.
"I understand." Anatoly said and then they walked back toward the beach.
"I know why you are going home. I just wish you could stay in Russia." Anatoly said.

"You will be fine Anatoly. You don't need me." Oliver said.
"I am afraid of what I might become if you are not here to make me see the right way to go." Anatoly said.
"You are a good man, and you have a plan to clean up the Bratva. Just stick to the plan and you will be ok." Oliver said.
"I will miss you my friend. Let's not wait for years to see each other again." Anatoly said as he hugged Oliver.
"I agree. Let's not wait for years again." Oliver said and then Anatoly went back to the plane and left.
Oliver was now piling up the wood that he would use for the fire to alert the fishermen. The next thing he knows, something pricks him in the neck, and he pulls it out to see that it is a tranquilizer dart. Two men come out of the wood with there guns on him before Oliver finally passes out.
When Oliver wakes up, he is chained up by both hands and he see Kovar in front of him. Kovar talks for a while about the island being called purgatory and then he pulls out some kind of drug named red death.
"This drug is used to make people see their failures and it also lets them feel all the pain they have ever felt." Kovar said.
"I have taken a lot of pain in my life so I think I will be fine." Oliver said.
"You will see soon enough what it feels like." Kovar said as he injected the drug into Oliver's heart.
Oliver was starting to see images of his failures. He saw Shado being killed, he saw himself beating a man with a rock, and then he saw himself after he tortured Shrieve. Kovar then walked up to Oliver and touched where Yoa Fei shot him with the arrow and he cried out in pain.
"The drug makes you feel the pain as though it is happening to you right now." Kovar said as he then touched the scar of where Wintergreen had tortured him, and Oliver screamed again. The Kovar touched the spot where Conklin had whipped him, and Oliver screamed again.
The next time Oliver is seen, he is now in one of the cells in the prison. Kovar tells him that people usually last a certain amount of time on the drug before the pain becomes too much and they decide to end it. Kovar gives Oliver a gun and leave him saying "You have always surprised me with how strong you are. I think I will say that you will last fourteen minutes before you kill yourself."
Kovar and his men left. Oliver is just sitting there with the gun in his hands when he hears a voice he has not heard in a long time. He looks up and he see Yoa Fei standing in front of him. He tells Oliver about all other the bad things that he has done over the years. He then helps Oliver put the gun up to the side of his head and tells him, "You need to end it. You are dangerous to all of your friends and family. You don't need to bring your darkness back home to them."

"I wonder what is going to stop Ollie from killing himself. He is feeling to down on himself right now. He has no reason to live in his mind." Laurel said.
"I think I might have an idea what happens, but I guess I will know if I am right when we see it." Sara said.
Oliver is about to pull the trigger when another hand touches his and the voice said, "Don't do that. Please."
Oliver looks to his side and sees Laurel sitting there. "You need to come home to me Ollie. You need to come home to your family as well. We all miss you." Laurel said.
"I can't be around any of you. All I do is bring darkness to the people who are around me. Y'all don't need that." Oliver said.
"You are strong Ollie, and we will understand that you are different when you get home. Now come home to us." Laurel said and then she disappeared.
"Yep, I was right. It is always you and him against the word Laurel." Sara said.
Oliver then lifted the gun and shot the lock on the cell and then ran outside to find his supplies so he could go home.
Kovar and his men enter the prison thinking that Oliver was dead, but they find the empty cell. Kovar tells his men to go find Oliver.
Oliver finds his crate and goes to unlock it and get somethings out of it when he hears a gun cock behind him. He raises his hands and gets close to one of the men and wrestles the gun away from him and uses the man as a shield and then he takes out the other men. He soon encounters some more men and takes them out as well. While Oliver is engaging with the last man and kills him, he hears a helicopter and he find cover as the copter fires on him. Oliver is finally able to take the engine of the copter out and the copter falls to the ground. Oliver goes to the copter and finds Kovar getting out of it.
The two men then fight, and it is an even fight for a while, but soon Oliver gets Kovar in a choke hold, but is distracted when his alarm goes off telling him that the ship is passing by.
"You are to late Mr. Queen. You will be stuck here forever." Kovar said.
Oliver then got a better position on the man and got him in another choke hold and broke his neck, letting him fall to the ground, dead. Oliver ran and got his supplies and put on a long wig and a longer beard so that it would look like he had been on the island for five year and then he spread dirt on himself so that he would look dirty. He then ran for the cost and found his bow and arrows and fired the arrow at the pile of wood in it was engulfed in flames.
The fishermen saw the fire explode on the shore and turned around to see what was going on. When they got to the shore, they saw a man who they would have thought had been there for a long time. They got Oliver on the boat and they gave him a phone.
Oliver dialed a number and waited for an answer. "Hello" A voice said on the other end of the line.
"Mom it's Oliver." Oliver said.
"My son is dead. Whoever you are, don't call here again." Moira said and she was about to hang up.
"Please mom listen to me." Oliver said.
"Oliver is it really you?" Moira asked.
"Yeah, it is. I am safe and I am on my way home. I have been on an island for five years." Oliver said.
"Oh, my beautiful boy. What about your father?" Moira asked.
"He's dead. I am sorry mom. So is Sara." Oliver said.
"Where are you now?" Moira asked.
"I am on a boat somewhere near China, I think. I will be home as soon as I can." Oliver said.
"I will see you soon Oliver. I love you." Moira said.
"Love you too mom." Oliver said as he hung up.
"Well, that is the end of dad's five years away. After we take a break, we will show you the important things that you need to know about the future. It will really help dad when he gets started." Conner said.
"So, is the future as bad as the last five years have been for Ollie?" Thea asked.
"We will show you somethings that will enable you to make the future better. The current future is not that great, but if you change the things that need to be changed it will be a lot better." Mia said.
"I will do whatever it takes to help Ollie. I will even join him if I have to." Laurel said.
"As long as you are all able to help in your own ways, everything will be just fine. Now let's take a break for the night and we will come back to see the future in the morning." Mia said.
A/N: Well, that is the end of Oliver's five years away. I will now be showing important things from the future that will allow everyone to help Oliver. I will also be showing important events, like how people met each other and things like that as well. Let me know what you think so far and also let me know what you think about what I am going to do with the future eight years that Oliver is the Hood, the Arrow and the Green Arrow. Thanks for reading and I really hope you are enjoying what I have done so far.

Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***
