What The Luck!? Chapter 125

"So what the heck was that about? The way she acted made it feel like she wanted to beat coach Winters up through us." Art was feeling a few bruises growing where he was blocked and taken down.
"So you know how Coach Winters said she came against a rival? Then they both lost to a younger martial artist? I think they are rivals and both lost to the same person." Asher's theory was nearly confirmed now, he wanted t somehow get the two together but he had a feeling if they did then they would get in to an all out brawl.
"Then we are getting coached by two top placing martial artists? I see no problem in that." Jane had her own soreness from the body lock that she had been put in to. But nothing could make her unhappy about the feedback from Garnet. She would be able to improve much more now.
"So, the real question is where we should look. The entire camp is being scoured and no one has had any look." Art was spinning in a slow circle looking for a lesser populated place to hunt for the golden egg.
"The main area looks pretty full of people. I expect the farther areas to be abandoned. But knowing Laura the obstacle course has been swept clean, and with Jackson in the classrooms, I think that will be clear too." Asher had his hand on his chin as he looked around.
"We can try the entrance area. Everyone just ran in. If my theory is right the egg will be there since less will look there." Jane was trying to put everything in to a theory of where people would most likely ignore after getting to camp.
"Treu, how many people are going back to the camp entrance when they just got here? There aren't even any activities near there." Asher thought t was a great idea, before he could start leading the way Art was already heading in the direction.

Asher and Jane looked at each other, "He seems a little more motivated."
"I think he just needed to get his goals straightened out, plus he was afraid to put this on us." Asher and Jane knew that the weight of something like this could be heavy and that Art didn't want to burden them. But they were his friends and wouldn't let that stop them from helping. They put some extra spring in their steps to catch up to Art who was blazing the trail.
The trio easily reached the completely abandoned front entrance. The staff had already cleaned up the area the campers had been waiting along with the tables that had held the drinks and crackers. All that was left was an area that had been scuffed up by the camper's shoes and the camp sign.
"We don't need to search anything past that point since that is outside the camp. If they hid it out there then nobody will find it and that's just a rip off." Asher pointed out toward the area they had all jogged from. That was well outside the camp area and he had no plans to head out there.
The three split up and started to look around the area that they had started with. Art was chacking the bushes while completely ignorning the fact that they were covered in spines. If he found the next step to getting stronger he didn't mind a few scratches.
Jane was more practical. She had watched carefully and listened during the explanations. She tried to derive clues from the explanation of the egg being hidden and made a point to search very thoroughly where Garnet had stood to outline the rules.
Asher was the least practical. He was attempting to climb to the top of the sign since he had a feeling he could see better from the top. His technique wasn't the most optimal, but after wrapping himself around the pole on one side of the sign he was able to inch up little by little. By the time he was halfway up Art and Jane had noticed his actions and were standing on the ground looking up at him.

"You know there's no way it could be on the sign right?" Art could see the entire sign from the ground, he was worried that Asher had lost his mind thinking it was on top somehow.
"Not on top, but around the area. I need a bird's eye view!" Asher yelled down clarifying his plan. Jane just looked at the trees around them and wondered why they hadn't qualified. "Art, we should stay here in case he falls. I have a bad feeling that he will need our help." Art just nodded along with this. He also didn't trust that Asher wouldn't fall or even jump down.
After a few more minutes of climbing, Asher had reached the top and pulled himself to balance on the thin sign board attached to the poles. "I have a way better view up here! Just watch me find the spot it's hiding." He did not doubt that he would be able to spot the egg from so high up. The gold color would stand out really well against the green and browns of the forest.
His eyes scanned the ground and he slowly turned himself around while sitting and balancing on the sign. He wasn't seeing anything on the ground and moved his gaze to the trees. He couldn't leave even a single leaf without evaluation.
Some time passed and Art and Jane were getting worried that Asher had actually gotten stuck up top. He hadn't moved much for a while. "Is everything OK up there?" Jane yelled to him.
"Yeah, I just don't see it." Asher raised his hands and placed them down. He felt something attached to the sign as he placed his hand down. "Oh come on! How is it here." He looked at the golden egg shape that was perfectly fitted in to an egg shaped groove in the wood of the sign. It was the perfect spot so it couldn't be seen from the ground. Only a climber could find it fitted in the top.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
