《Abducting Ruby》Chapter Eighteen.
Advertisement
Tears streamed down Ruby's cheeks and she pushed closer to Theo, hiding her face in the crook of his neck.
She couldn't unsee Davina's dead body or the way it bent at such a forced angle.
"Theo, since you're still new, maybe you should start the show off!" Master suggested, jumping around excitedly.
Theo looked at Ruby, fear flashing in his eyes, "What does he mean? What's happening?"
"It's okay! You're going to be okay. He's going to make you dance on glass. It's going to hurt but you'll survive." Ruby said gently, trying to chase away his fears.
"Oh no, Ruby darling." Master said interrupting. "I'd like to try something new. I want him to dance in the air."
Ruby raised her eyebrows in confusion before realization hit her, "You can't hang him!"
Master seemed upset about how she was acting, "it's just acting, my dear, he'll be fine."
"He'll be fine until his body runs out of oxygen!" Ruby yelled, panic flooding her body, but Master only ignored her as he pushed her out of the way and pulled Theo off the ground.
Theo started pulling at the chains, resisting in every possible way, "You can't do this! Please!"
Master shook with anger as he brought his fist up slamming it into Theo's temple. Theo wasn't unconscious but his body seemed to slow as Master continued to drag him towards the noose.
There was a small step stool under it, and Ruby watched helplessly as Master pushed Theo up the steps and tightened the noose around his neck.
Ruby turned to Olivia, hoping that she would do something to stop this but she just sat there, her eyes switching between Theo's hanging and Davina's corpse.
Master kicked the stool out from under Theo and his body went rigid, fighting for air against the ropes.

It was almost as if his face was actually turning blue from the lack of oxygen.
"Please stop!" Ruby pleaded, but Master only ignored her.
Theo kicked his feet out, trying to escape his fate, and it almost looked like he was actually dancing in the air.
This was playing out exactly how Master had wanted it to.
Ruby shook with fear as she started to see Theo's life leave his eyes. Without thinking, she forced herself off the ground, ignoring the jello feeling in her legs. She ran at Master, knocking him to the ground and then she grabbed the stool placing it back under Theo's feet.
She helped steady him and started to loosen the noose when a arm wrapped around her waist, throwing her hardly to the ground.
Master loomed above her and she could almost see the steam coming from his ears from how angry he was.
Ruby flinched away as Master lifted his hand as if he was going to hit her.
"I've had enough!" Olivia screamed, gathering everyone's attention.
Olivia was clutching a piece of glass in her hand and her voice trembled as she spoke, "I don't want to live like this anymore."
Before anyone could react, Olivia stabbed the glass through her neck. Her eyes seemed to go blank for a second and then she hit the ground, blood gushing from the wound.
Master ran towards her body, kneeling beside her on the ground. Olivia's eyes were closed, but Ruby could have sworn she saw her fingers twitch.
Master rose from the ground after a moment, his face devoid of any emotion, "Well that's a pity. Let's get you two back to your room."
Ruby was shocked, "You're just going to leave her there?"
"Dolls break sometimes. There's nothing I can do to fix her."

Lament of The Demiurge
The Great Law of Blood is simple: when you kill someone, you take their EXP. When you get enough EXP, you level up. When you level up, you become better at killing people. The cycle has continued since before the time of the gods and has been going on thousands of years after they died. It's a good thing, of course. It rewards punishing the evil creatures of the world: goblins, kobolds and other sorts of terrible monsters. It will surely go on for eternity. People thought the gods would live for eternity too, but they were slain. This world has never, and will never, stand still.

Healing Dungeon
// DUNGEON Mechanics will start to appear around chapter 100+/Arc 3 of the story! \ Avan, a 25-year-old young man, is torn from his rather boring life. He awakens in Aorus, a world full of magic, monsters and dungeons. By a stroke of luck and an ominous skill called "Potential", he awakens a new class never seen before called Dungeonheart (Human). Dungeons, although sentient, are never sapient nor mobile. Join Avan as he pursues his passion for healing and martial arts, and building his very own dungeon at the same time. He’s the hybrid of a moving dungeon and a healer. "Healing Dungeon" will include City building, strategy, very little romance, exploration of the world of Aorus, and a touch of power levelling. (There are elements from other fantasy novels, as well as anime, games, and more). What will all be possible with a dungeon that can move, but still brings some of the familiar dungeon mechanics along for its journey? -- Please note that the beginning and thus the first chapters were really my first writing works in english, and can only be rewritten at a later time (lack of time in favor for new chapters) --(The writing style and also the story improves VERY much from the 12th chapter at the latest! Proofreading is available, but I depend on any well-intentioned advice from you guys). If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticism, or just because you feel like it, feel free to leave me a comment below the respective chapters!For every positive and serious review or rating, I am infinitely grateful! ;) I am a creature of few words and the beginning is therefore a little faster than I would have liked it now in retrospect. Please do not expect huge paraphrases and descriptions of the environments, but only what is really necessary to get into the scene. Cheers and hopefully see you in the comment section.
