What The Luck!? Chapter 99
Advertisement
"Fine go off and have fun with your lame home gym thing. I will be getting better at first aid, and tracking, and sneaking, and…" Laura trailed off as she stuck one last poorly placed band aid on her arm and ran out the room. She was annoyed that she wasn't the winner in their sparring match but more so that the luxury cabin wasn't what she had hoped it would be.
"I wonder if she remembered that she would need to pay points to do all of that no1?" Asher's out loud thinking made Garnet burst in to laughter. Even she had started to overlook this fact since she couldn't help but find more and more things the three would need to give crash courses in.
"I think I will try to get to that course in first aid today. I learned some stuff from daily life, but I don't know how to make splints or give CPR. I feel like those will be really important one day." Asher had a lot of experience in bandaging his own wounds but almost none in real injuries.
"I thought you would be rushing to learn some of the throws and body locks. I guess you have a few brain cells bouncing around that head of yours. Come on and follow me. I will text Lapis to meet us in the general nurse's cabin." Garnet said these insulting words without so much as a drop of sweetness.
'You could at least make it sound like you don't want to be mean.' Asher just went along with it while slightly cursing our Garnet in his head. He would return the attitude one day when he had a better combat experience than her.
Garnet typed away on her phone making sure that Onyx would send Jackson as well. She had a feeling that he also needed to learn how to give proper first aid. By the time Asher and Garnet had reached the general nurse's cabin, Jackson had just finished a jog there. "Onyx said if I didn't run as fast as I could here then I would have to climb the cliff a hundred times."

Garnet just smiled a little devilishly while Asher shook his head. 'Poor Jackson, he must have been tortured the entire morning.'
"You're joining the first aid class with Asher. He has some basics but needs a few more emergency teachings. Do you know anything about first aid?' Garnet saw a look of realization come over Jackson's face as she spoke.
"Actually my mother is a surgeon, I know a lot about first aid. The only thing I lack is emergency treatments to stabilize someone injured." Jackson had not mentioned anything about his parents yet so everyone was pleasantly surprised. If Jackson was a character in a fantasy novel he would definitely play the role of an herbalist.
"That's pretty cool. My dad is a lawyer so sadly I don't have many skills that he can teach me when it comes to these things…" Asher felt a little less lucky but still would not trade his family for anything.
"What do you mean cool? My mom always wants me to go and become a surgeon too. When I got my super power she was excited to see that I would be able to deal with search and rescue trauma. I have to agree with her a little but I still think surgery and stuff is gross."
Asher and the others had remembered that Jackson liked plants and peacefulness. If he ran around the chaos of a disaster scene trying to save people instead of caring for the plants his heart yearned for it would be pretty abnormal. He was pretty much a peaceful giant.
"But I do have a good ability to do it and if I can help people I might as well go for it. But I will still prioritize search and resue. I will be in nature, so I will be happy. I will deal with possible injuries for hikers and lost individuals which will make my mother happy. Plus my father is a stay at home dad, so as long as I am getting out in the world he is a happy camper."

"You know, that is kinda the opposite of my family, my mom is a stay at home mom and my dad is out working as a lawyer. Kinda funny." Asher and Jackson were bonding over their coincidental family situations when Laura popped up in front of them.
"Awe are you two having a moment?" She was snacking on a bag of spicy chips looking at the two while trying to contain a laugh.
"Yeah, we were bonding over how we both will kick your butt in a sparring match tomorrow." Asher needed to retort since he felt he had just been made fun of.
"Wait, no. I don't want to spar with anyone tomorrow. I want to finish the cliff tree and then learn about animal migration patterns." Jackson just looked at the two helplessly.
"Oh, you both will beat me? Then bring it on. I will be even faster tomorrow. And after this class, I will be able to fix myself up without you babying me." Laura gave a glare to Asher since she had needed his help with bandaging herself up.
"How did you manage to get the points so fast to come and take this class? Asher has too many, and Jackson is smart to hold off and take the free things. That leaves you out." Garbet had her interest piqued since she had not heard of Laura completing anything for points.
"I met your sister Diamond, she said to call her Dia. I ran the obstacle course like five times and they just kept giving me points. The obstacles were really slow. They didn't even activate when I passed over them. The only hard part were the tripwires but after the first try, I just ran faster and jumped over them.
Garnet checked her phone and saw that she had received a text message from her sister saying exactly that. "Well, then I guess you are fine for today. I will set aside a cabin key for you too." Garnet just rolled with it. These campers were abnormal after all.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

The Casual
Notice: On hiatus. *profanity tag added just in case a bit of swearing is required, but I'll try to keep it as profanity-lite as possible* RealWorldIII came with the motto "Bringing the imagination back into the gaming" with an innovative skill combination system that promises to create unique (see: not-actually-unique) characters tailored to each player's preferences (see: we-swear-it's-not-random) Alex is a random guy with the motto "Well... whatever" with a history of being at the top of the gaming scene (see: he was a kid back then) that after twenty years of working for daily necessities finds himself facing a tough dilemma: do I go back to being a corporate slave, or do I gain money by playing a game no questions asked? (see: not really a dilemma) The only question is, can an actual "casual", even if ex-pro, survive constantly playing a game? or will he end banging his head on the wall? The story will unfold mainly in-game, with little if any real life events happening.

It's not a game
Where am I? This is not my room. What is this place. If you were transported to another world, to be an RPG protagonist. Just another average weak human being, with nothing but ten copper coins and a crappy sword. Could you defeat demons, monsters and giants? I think not. In a world inhabited by all manner of unspeakable evil, by devils of both monster and man. Could you right wrongs and fix a broken world? I think not. When both your fellow man, demons and the very divines that hold reality together conspire to corrupt, extort and rape this world. When they toy with you and laugh in amusement as you dance in their palms. Could you alter fate? I think not. So when this is the thorny path ahead of our protagonists, why would you expect them to be able to? They’re just human after all, teenagers at that. Nevertheless, join me on an epic journey that will alter the course of history and reality itself as our protagonists show you what it really means to be human... in an inhuman world.
