《Founders of The New Age》Chapter 22 - Missing
Advertisement
When Arthur opened his eyes, he realized that he was alone in the room. Rook was probably waking up earlier than himself and having breakfast with Darkis and Elda.
"What subject should I talk about in class today", muttering to himself, he walked towards the closet where the clothes were. After changing, he left the room and walked towards the stairs leading to the Lobby.
*tap tap tap
He quickly descended the stairs. When he landed in the lobby, he encountered a familiar sight. Darkis and Elda were chatting and having breakfast with Old Mike. He started walking towards the table where they were sitting.
"Good morning." said.
Hearing Arthur's voice, the trio turned towards Arthur.
“Good morning to you too, young man, you're early,” said old Mike.
“Not as many as before me,” said Arthur, pointing to Elda and Darkis.
When Darkis couldn't see Rook next to him, he wondered and asked.
“Where is Rook?” he said.
“I thought he was with you, his bed was empty when I woke up.” said Arthur.
“He never came down,” she said.
"I saw him go out to use the back restroom before you got up, didn't he come back?" said Old Mike.
There was a strangeness. "I'll check outside," said Arthur, a little worried.
“Wait, I'll come too,” said Darkis. Elda also got up and the three of them walked briskly to the back garden door and opened the door and went out.
“Rook,” said Arthur as he made his way to the bathroom. But his shout was not answered.
When they got very close to the toilet, they saw the marks of struggle in the snow on the ground.
“Fuck,” said darkis.
“Someone took him,” said Arthur.
“Let's not decide right away, maybe he fell and the marks on the floor were caused by him. Let's look for an inn first,” Elda said.
"Okay, I'll look upstairs, and I'll wake our people up," said Arthur, nodding. Wishing that what he had in mind would not happen, he left them and walked up the stairs to his room on the second floor.
He entered the room where he was staying with Rook first. The room looked empty, yet he called out rook. He looked under the beds, in the wardrobes, but he wasn't there. Then he went out of his own room into the hallway to wake up Mefzar and the others in the next room. he opened the door to the room.

"Hey," he said, seeing no sign of waking up, and slamming the open door with his hand and shouting louder.
"HEY".
All 3 of them jumped out of their beds.
"What the fuck Arthur" said Askar
“Rook is missing. We found some tracks outside. Wake up and see, I think he's been kidnapped,” said Arthur.
As soon as the three understood the seriousness of the incident, they immediately jumped out of their beds. While the others were getting dressed, Arthur took one last look at his own room to make sure, but there was no one in the room. The event he didn't want to think about was getting closer and closer to reality.
When the three of them went out into the corridor, they showered Arthur with questions.
“Where does it track” “How was it kidnapped?”
“I don't know, I came here as soon as I found the tracks,” said Arthur.
“Where did you find the traces?” Mefzar said, completely throwing sleep out of his mind.
"In the backyard."
The four of them immediately descended the stairs and went to the backyard.
“Was he in the room,” said darkis.
Arthur shook his head no. The group's tracking expert was Mefzar. He began to examine the tracks on the ground and in the snow. He touched the footprints with his hand. Mefzar was using some kind of skill that Arthur didn't know.
“He was kidnapped, they were two people, they were quickly caught and separated.”
“The gang Lady Elise mentioned did it,” Bill said.
“If they did anything, I will kill them” darkis.
"Control your nerves, or you'll slow us down," said Mefzar. In normal times, Mefzar was like a regular member, but in times of crisis, he turned into a total leader. After Darkis had calmed down a bit, he spoke.
"Okay I'm cool, what are we going to do now" said darkis
“We need to go to Lady Elise and find out the hideout of this gang. If their level is beyond our height, we should seek help.”
Mike, who came in after no one noticed, was listening to what was being said.
“You included me in the plan, I was very getting used to my green friend. "
Everyone's heads turned to Mike. Although the team did not know the exact level of Mike, they thought he was over 40.

"It's not your business," said Mefzar.
“If they kidnap someone in my inn, it's my problem now,” he said firmly.
Realizing that the old man was final in his decision, Mefzar nodded.
“Okay, first we need to find out their hiding place,” Mefzar said.
“Arthur, Askar, go with the horses to the Red Roses and find out where they are, and in the meantime, let's prepare for the fight,” he said.
As soon as Arthur and Askar received the order, they moved towards the stable with the horses.
Others began to prepare Potions and other weapons.
------
Manumit streets echoed with the hooves of 2 horsemen. Arthur had learned to ride in the north. Even though he was still not well, his horses could steer in any direction he wanted without falling off the horse. The route to the Red roses guild was not that central, so it would be empty at this time of the morning. Therefore, they came to the front of the red roses guild without wasting time.
They climbed the stairs in two strides and pushed the door and entered. The receptionist was sitting at his desk.
"Is Lady Elise in her room," said Arthur hastily.
“Yeah but what--” Before the receptionist could finish, Arthur started walking towards Lady Elise's room. Askar was right behind him. The receptionist was stunned.
When the gate guards saw the swift arrivals, he knew there was something urgent. Knowing Arthur and Askar as well, he immediately opened the door. When the door opened, Lady Elise looked up from the papers she was examining and saw Arthur and Askar in the hallway. She stood up and walked to the door.
"What's up, what's the fuss," said Lady Elise.
“Rook has been kidnapped.”
“Goblin friend? When" "
“This morning, do you know the location of the Headquarters of the gang you were talking about yesterday?” said Arthur hastily.
Lady Elise gestured to the guard standing at the door for her to close her door.
After the door is closed
“Yes, they have the biggest building of the “no mice allowed” street in the east of manumit.
“But what do you intend to do?” he said.
“Of course we will save him,” Askar said.
“Do you know anything about his powers,” said Arthur.
“Usually under 20, but I know they have around 10 people between 20-30 and their leader is in the middle of 30 levels,” he said.
When Arthur and Askar thought they had all the information they could get, they rose to Leave.
When she realized that they were going to Lady Elise, she called Mark. The door opened and Mark, one of Lady Elise's personal bodyguards, entered.
He said "my lady"
“Help them,” he said.
Mark nodded without asking any questions.
“It's not your thing,” Askar said.
"It was my job when I started cooperating with you. I would like to send more men, but if they find out that I had a hand in the attack, we could be in bigger trouble".
Arthur nodded, as if to say I understand, then they walked out with Mark.
They had to get on horses and tell the team what they had learned quickly.
---------
In the morning, when Askar and Arthur learned of the gang's location and returned, the Team gathered to create an action plan.
"We can't dive with our eyes closed. First, we need to go to a place that sees this 'ratless street', and we make the plan there," said Mefzar.
The team nodded in agreement with Mefzar's words.
"Let's not be too late, we don't know what they're doing to him right now," said Darkis, his voice clearly showing how worried he was.
Askar put his hand on darkis's shoulder.
"Don't worry, we'll save him safely." said.
“Everybody get ready, first of all, we need to find a high building that sees this street as soon as possible. We're going out in 10 minutes,” Mefzar said.
After everyone checked their healing potions, armor, and weapons, 8 people came out of the inn and started walking towards the "ratless street" located in the East of manumit.
-------------------------------
1 hour later they were in a tall building with a view of the "ratlesless street". Mefzar's hawk eyes were watching what was happening in the tallest building on the street.

The Core, The Recordings of Raan - Fantasy LitRPG Story
The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air.

To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.
