《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 4, Part 4 - Black Magic
Advertisement
Stacy and Thomas followed Alex and Lauren outside. The wizard was waiting for them, with his wolves snarling at them, hungry for their dinner. Suddenly, Alex and Lauren were thrown back inside, and the door slammed shut behind them.
"Ah, my spell worked. No one can help you but yourselves. Your first clue is on the table. You must find the three keys to let you back into the castle. You know what happens to the loser," the wizard explained. Thomas and Stacy walked to the small table and picked up their first note.
"Begin."
The clues were drawings of different areas of the garden.
My first clue is a picture of a bird bath, so I start running for it cause its on the other side of the garden.
My clue is a drawing of a gazebo, and I go for it, but I have no clue exactly where this key is.
Stacy was looking for her clue as Thomas made it to the bird bath.
I can see the key, its right at the bottom of this bird bath, and it looks like its about a meter deep, so I try to grab this key, and its freezing cold.
Thomas rolled up his sleeve and dunked his hand into the ice cold water. He just managed to grab the key and pull it out. He looked at the clue attached to it, an image of a rose bush. He pocketed the key and ran towards the rose bush as Stacy desperately looked for her final clue. She started ripping up floorboards and finally found her key and clue. It was an image of a bird feeder, and she ran towards it whilst pocketing her key.
Thomas was attempting to get his key without hurting himself on the thorns. He managed to grab his key as Stacy found her's in the bird seed. They both looked at their final clues. For Thomas, it was an image of the shed. For Stacy, it was a picture of the greenhouse. They both ran towards their final key and tore the places apart looking for them.

At this point, I am just tearing this place apart and looking for this key anywhere. And then, I find it, along with a note.
Thomas ran out of the shed and bolted towards the door. He unlocked the door and ran in, and was greeted by Alex and Lauren.
I hear the door shut, and I know I'm dead. I had a good run, and I can't help thinking about the irony of the Hound Master being killed by wolves.
"Now, my pets, you can feast on that one," the wizard pointed to Stacy, and they ran for her. She stood there, waiting for them to come. They pounced on her and started ripping her to shreds. Screams were heard throughout that castle until they were eventually replaced by wolves howls, then silence.
Alex and Lauren lead a slightly traumatised Thomas to the remaining guests. When he arrived, the guests breathed a sigh of relief. The totem Zoe won lit up.
"What happened? We heard screams," Joey asked.
"We got locked out of the castle and we had to find keys to unlock it. I found my keys first, and Stacy lost. You guys remember what Jesse said, she got eaten by the wolves. But I found this note," Thomas said.
"What does it say?" Dan asked. Thomas opened the note.
Dear guests,
Thank you for releasing my spirit. I thought I should explain what happens when we power up the totems. Our remaining life force goes into those totems, and we can finally be at peace. I can't thank you enough. I'm sorry your friend had to die for me. I wish you all luck.
- Jesse Wellens
The group looked around at each other, then they looked at the totem tower, fear and sadness filling their hearts, but also determination to survive.

Tales of Demons and Dragons - An Original Xianxia GameLit
One or more chapters per day Directly Inspired by Tales of Demons and Gods, with an Italian (European) spin and magic on top of cultivation. Mix of light comedy and very dark parts. Darker chapters are marked with a disclaimer. Synopsis: Jacob reincarnates in his 15 years old body. It's just a few minutes before the Change that brought Demonic Beasts swarming all over Earth. In a matter of hours, all the big Capital Cities are razed to the ground. Dragons invaded Rome; Hydras assaulted Venice. Even nastier monsters lurk in the dark. Sadly, his talent is abysmal, and virtually everyone is stronger than him. And he knows that Demonic Beasts are not his only concern, for humans can be far more malevolent at times. St. Peter, Jacob's small mountain hometown in Abruzzo, houses only a few hundred. And since bigger monsters appear in more populated cities, they are relatively safe, or so he thought. But, he soon realizes that even if he went back in time, not everything is the same. And one thing is for sure: he is not the same. His soulmate is now in front of him once again, but things are different. Maybe too different. Follow Jacob in his struggles to protect everyone, change his talent, acquire strength, confront lost loves, and maybe meet new ones. This reincarnation story shows that people who can go back to their past may not be as successful as they thought. I will write no harem in this story. The protagonist may be involved with more than one girl, but not every female will fall at his feet. Swearing will be censored whenever possible since some people do not like explicit forms. However, the censoring will be minimal, like "Fuc**ng." [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

His cousin is the only person he can truly trust, but he must take a chance and put his life in the hands of others if he plans to survive. ***This is the first long-length writing I have ever undertaken, and I wish to get some critical feedback. I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.
