《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 88 - Festive season- Part 4
Advertisement
Suddenly the bell was heard ending the match and the announcers announced Louis as the winner of the match.
"Oh my God, Eve, are you okay?? You're bleeding," Jessi asked me while she checked the wound.
"I'm Kay," I replied, "I need some water," and Aiden gave me a bottle of water to drink. I saw Sebastian staring at my wound and something clicked in his head.
"Something's wrong," he murmured and then spoke to us, "You guys stick together and avoid going alone. I'll find Louis and Ruka," he said leaving us behind and making us wonder what just happened.
"What was that all about?" Jessi asked and then her attention snapped back to my arm, "We need to the infirmary, come on," she said.
"Louis looked really intense as he fought you. Did you say something to make him mad?" Aiden asked me and I shook my head, "Hmm."
When we reached the infirmary, Jessi had to cover my mouth to prevent me from screaming as the nurse put some unknown spray that stung worst than a bee. There were many other students who had taken part in the match here, taking first aid. Compared to few of them in the room my wound looked pretty small. After some time we heard disturbances in the speaker until someone spoke,
"All the students, teachers and other faculties are requested to leave for the day. The rest of the events will be continued tomorrow. I repeat all the students, teachers and other faculties are requested to leave for the day right now."
"What the hell is going on?" Aiden asked as we all looked at the speaker. He pulled out his cell to call when we saw Derek come inside the room panting.

"What's the matter?" I asked him worried.
"Where are Louis and the others? I'm unable to contact through phone," he said as creases firmed on his forehead.
"Sebastian said he was going to talk to Ruka and Louis. Why?" I asked him.
"You need to see it," he said and I got up from the place as I sat, all the three of us following him. He took us down to the dungeon and I got a bad feeling about what was going to come. It was our anatomy class, "Look," he pointed at the cases and I saw five empty squares without a body in it. Unlike last time where there was a body on the table, this time there was nothing. Just empty cases.
"They are roaming in the school, aren't they? That's why everyone was asked to leave immediately," I whispered.
"Who's roaming, Eve?" Jessi asked.
"Do you remember the night we went to the movie with my cousin?" I asked Jessi and saw her nod, "After the movie we met up with few zombie-like creatures?"
"What?!" She exclaimed loudly, "That's impossible the school is being monitored every single second. So you are telling me they are here right now?"
"I'm not sure but it must be so because one of the teachers informed about this," Derek answered her.
"There are five empty cases so that will be five zombies running in the school," Aiden summed up and cracked his knuckles, "Sounds exciting to me."
"Only in theory," Derek stated. My cell rang and I picked it up.
"Love, where are you?" Ruka asked me.
"Down in the dungeon, why?"
"Alright, listen to me carefully, Evie. Move out of there and if possible go to a room which has a good locking system. I'll be there in a few minutes," he said.

"Okay," I replied and looked at everyone, "Am I supposed to repeat what he said or did you hear?" I asked knowing all of them had a good hearing ability. Jessi was marked so she had a decent hearing.
"Not necessary," Aiden replied and we went out of the dungeon. In the way, as we ran up, two men stood in the corridor motionless. Their heads were hung low and they moved as slower than a tortoise.
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Jessi asked standing next to me.
"Yup," I answered and all of us began running in the opposite direction, we had to pull Aiden out of there as he wanted to have some action.
"Wait, why are we not fighting them?" He asked as ran.
"They move slowly only in the beginning but something triggers after some time and it's impossible to fight them," I explained him.
"Like that?" He asked and we turned back to see another body charging at us in speed.
"Yes!" we screamed.
"Inside the room!" Jessi yelled and we locked it. Banging was heard and we pushed the desk against the door to keep it from opening but it was of no use because in a minute it was opened to reveal two of them.
I had my sword while Derek and Aiden used their supernatural abilities. Jessi broke a chair, swinging the remaining wooden piece in her hand like I baseball bat. We fought them two on one, beheading the dead bodies so that they didn't come alive. I was utterly exhausted when Ruka and the others found us. Sebastian was carrying Louis who was unconscious.
"Are you alright?" Ruka asked me, both his hands cupping my face.
"I'm okay," I replied smiling at him, "Just tired. What happened to Louis?" I asked.
"Did the zombie knock him out?" Aiden asked Sebastian.
"He was knocked out way before the dead bodies came into the picture. When I saw Eve's wound it didn't look like Louis would do such thing so I went out to search where he was but he was nowhere to found," Sebastian said, "After looking around I found him lying in the bathroom and my guess is he's been unconscious since an hour."
"What? But he was in the arena with me."
"It was an imposter who looked like Louis," Ruka cleared the confusion, "Someone else was fighting you in the arena, love and it wasn't Louis."

Dungeon Core/Realm Heart
Dao Lord Brandr has cheated death many times over the millennia, enough to know that this time he should have died. There was just no surviving what had happened to him. Fortunately or unfortunately, he did. Well... that depends on what you call surviving really. His body is gone and so is pretty much all of his mighty cultivation base. To add to this, he has suffered severe damage to his soul and as if that wasn't bad enough he's lost, far away from any world he knows and maybe even his universe. Now, he's just learned from a being called a sprite that he's some sort of sentient mystic realm called a dungeon and that just for the crime of existing, there would be legions of enemies planning to pillage and destroy him. It's okay though. Apparently, he can make legions of his own. Seeing what he has to work with, Brandr decides that perhaps, all is not lost after all...

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
