What The Luck!? Chapter 25
Advertisement
"Wait you two! I refuse to lose to either of you!" Jane joined them too. The other three students just sat there looking at them like they were crazy. The hooded student that had been ignoring them all just sat down and waited for the bell pretending that nothing was going on. The other two girls looked about and decided to join everyone else running. They figured they had nothing to lose so why not?
Asher, Art, and Jane were on their way to becoming the strangest trio in the class. Their class one was already known as the oddballs due to their powers but now they had three outstanding members.
Just a few minutes after they finished up their laps the bell rang sounding to them that it was lunch time. This brought Asher in to a whole new wave of energy as he changed. He could barely contain himself while waiting for Jane to finish up. "Art you took too long, as soon as Jane is out we are running to get spicy chicken wraps at the cafeteria!"
"Ah what! It's spicy chicken wrap day? I'm coming too, that spicy mayo is the best." Art had not known either what lunch was being sold and now with him on board they were of one mind.
Jane came out changed and carrying her bag in her arms. "Let's go before they are all gone." Asher dashed away towards the cafeteria. He would get one of the spicy chicken wraps or he would die trying!
The three ran through the halls dodging passed other students who looked at them in curiosity. The cafeteria doors lay open before them with only a short line at the counter. Asher was the first one in to line and could see the stacks or rolled up wraps shining like a pile of gold.
Asher, are you drooling?" Art swore he saw a dribble of drool falling from Asher's mouth.
"Huh? What? nooo. " Asher wiped his face pretending nothing happened.
"I'm so hungry I could buy that while stack." Jane reached them looking at the prizes to be bought laid out before them.
In turn they each placed their order grabbing their wraps. The cafeteria woman stopped them before they walked away to eat at a table. "Now don't forget about the raffle. The one who finds the wrap with the big H branded on it will get a personalized gear free of charge from hero corp labs. Good luck!" The three hadn't heard of this raffle but when the cafeteria woman pointed at a big poster on the wall it was dated all the way from the week before.

"Personalized gear for the tournaments? That would be so awesome. We could request for battle gear. Or the science tournaments could request for a lab kit. Or the business tournament can request advertising equipment. It would be the best head start to anyone in any tournament. I would have the best combat suit to carry my lead with me." Art was already designing his price in his head.
"Wouldn't the lead be too heavy? You would be a sitting duck." Jane became the voice of reason to Art's folly.
"That's fine I will just join the weight lifting club and aim to improve my body. The stronger I get the better I will be able to use my power anyways right? The more metal the better." Art was unperturbed by the logic so Jane just shook her head and looked for quiet corners where she could turn her head and eat without stopping others from enjoying their own meals.
"I think it would be pretty cool to have our own personal gear too. I think my sister already has one that can help her use her power better." Asher was trying to drag up memories of his sister wearing a specialized suit but it was too blurry in his mind to properly remember.
"Most who want to go in to law enforcement end up hiding the capabilities of their uniforms or gears. The business tournament does this more than us though. They like to hide every single detail so that they can get an edge over competition. They even make mascots for the corporations they mock up. It is the best one to visit since they try to sell their ideas for companies." Jane had been once with her parents since it was an event open to the public. It was more or less a career fair that showcased the students instead of the jobs.
"Guys! The flyer says there will be five winners!." Art had just read one of the other posted flyers on the wall. The fine print at the very bottom said that there would be a total of five sold at the lunch. "It also says that they offer this promotion to ten other high schools! That's so cool. Fifty people will get their own personalized items or gear or whatever. It's like handing out a better grade for free." Art was over the moon seeing this.

"The hero corp really goes all out with their promotions don't they?" Asher himself thought that it seemed like too much. If they asked for anything it could get very expensive the more that they did.
"They are investing in the future. A lot of students will avoid joining any sort of justice system jobs because of the tougher requirements to get accepted in to the right university or starting job. This is basically their way to throw caution to the wind and give an unsuspecting student a better chance." Jane was slowly unwrapping the tin foil on the wrap.
"Wait, we should do it together." Having sat down while still chatting and seeing that Jane was about to be the first to see if she won something Art stopped her.
The three of them placed their wraps in front of them and looked around. Their excitement plain on their faces. "Good luck everyone, no hard feelings if one of us wins and the others lose alright?" Asher wanted to make sure that they wouldn't get angry if the other won.
"How could something like this make us angry?" Art wasn't even worrying about it and Jane had no intention to even support the idea that it could happen. "Lucky fist bump first!" Art held out a fist.
"Weird but OK." Jane held hers ot tapping Art's fist while waiting for Asher.
Asher laughed a little thinking it was indeed weird. "Lucky fist bumps!" Asher tapped his fist on there and the three instantly tore open the tin foil revealing the tops of their spicy chicken wraps.
"Bust!" Art saw that his was not a winner and looked at the other. They were all free of any H brand which would show that they were winners. "Should I go buy us more?" Art asked slowly. He wondered if they would want to try again.
"There's no way I could eat two of these, The flyer says one per person anyways so you would just get in trouble anyways." Jane casually picked up her spicy chicken wrap to take a bite.
"Jane!" Asher stood from his seat holding his own spicy chicken wrap in his hands pointing at the wrap Jane was about to bite in to.
Thinking there was something wrong with it she dropped it on the table. "Asher!" The reaction came from Art this time pointing at Asher's hand holding his spicy chicken wrap.
Jane having jumped again Art's shout joined the three of them pointing. They were all at a loss for words pointing at each other looking wide eyed. Jane thought for a moment that her mask had fallen off and they were all stuck but realized that none of them had the right words to finish a full sentence.
Art finally managed to get put a proper question after mumbling a bit, "What do we do now?" The three of them had lined up their spicy chicken wraps revealing that there were branded H symbols on each of them.
"They were sneaky! What If I bit in to it and ruined the symbol!" Asher was annoyed by this possibility since none of them even considered that the symbol had been hidden on the bottom.
Jane had turned away and was reading the fine print with the instructions on the flyer. "Ah! Hurry hurry hurry! We need to show the cafeteria worker before the lunch bell rings!" She grabbed her wrap and sprinted towards the lunch counter.
There was already a lunch worker that had noticed their commotions and was waiting for one of them to come up. She had already handed out the price voucher to one winner. 'Finally a nice girl wins.' Her thoughts were then thrown in to confusion as she saw that the two boys with the running girl also held their wraps. 'Oh no, they all are going to fight over who gets the voucher.' She already held her head in her hands with worry over how she would remedy this.

Skeleton Sovereign?
A lawyer, along with ten thousand other people, is kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon of Decay to participate in a campaign against the Monarch of Everglades. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, has chosen these ten thousand people to be the captains of his 100 man squads, saying that beings of lower realms are easier to boost temporarily. Our lawyer didn’t complain much at that. A generic hero summoned to another world setting, he thought. And as he didn’t have any family or much attachment to his previous world, he even liked his situation. But that was until he found out, that the “Heavenly Demon of Decay” was a necromancer. And that he along with millions of other humans, and various beings, were processed into undead soldiers. ‘Well fuck!’, he thought. And after being equipped with high quality equipment, and being robbed of his free will, he marched, along with billions of other horrifying undead, against the Monarch of the Everglades. But his poor luck didn’t end there. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, and his army lost. But the worst part was, they left him behind while retreating. Now, he is stuck behind in a huge jungle, full of various monsters, where every moment he must struggle for his life. But isn’t he already dead? This thought only serves to incense him further. But that is not all to his story, he finds that he is in a different, more powerful world, where wizards, warriors, dragons, dungeons but most importantly “CULTIVATION” exists. Albeit not very Chinese, but cultivation nonetheless. But, can a skeleton even cultivate? Not a native english speaker. So don't expect impeccable grammar. Although I do try my best, this is also my first novel so pointers are appreciated. Haters, just stop reading if you don't like it. Please don't spoil my mood by evil comments.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
