What The Luck!? Chapter 198
Advertisement
The only sound other than the pairs' voices that was breaking the sounds of the forest at night was a soft piano tune playing. "Hey, wait? Do you hear a piano?" Asher thought he had started to go mad for a moment.
"Yup, I can hear it too. We are both crazy or we are both hearings a piano." Jane was looking around and only saw the light of the camp store nearby.
"Since we are at the camp store and the light is still on I guess it doesn't close like the other areas." Asher easily made the connection that some of the campers might need to buy important things at night or after they finished training and that was why the camp store would remain open.
The two walked toward the open door and realized there was an old radio playing a solo piano melody. "It's Jim. What are you doing here so late?" Asher and Jane were surprised to see Jim who had been in charge of the storage cabin earlier.
"Oh, the same old same old. I take the night shift here once a week since the younger staff members hate it. I get to make a little extra money and I can listen to my daughter's piano all night." The two swore Jim had a tear in his eye while he stood up and walked to the counter.
"Your daughter plates piano?" Asher was curious about this fact. The piano melody was soft and sweet and he could swear he had heard it before.
Jim's face grew bright as he grabbed the small portable radio. "My daughter is the queen of melody. She started playing as a child and still plays now. I was always sad that she didn't want to get her evo shot but she said that it could ruin her dream. I didn't push her to get it and look what she's done, she's on the radio. She travels the world to play." Jim was almost in proud parental tears.

"Wow, she refused her evo shot? That's super rare nowadays. But I understand why she might be afraid to lose her music. If she had grown tentacles or doubled in size or some crazy physical mutation as her super power she could become unable to play." Jane saw the exact ways a super power could stop his daughter from playing.
"Exactly. She made that choice which made her very lonely. Her friends were not as supportive. But once she played in her school recital she made them all regret that. Her music made every single eye in the auditorium full of tears." Jim was more and more proud of this.
Asher had pulled out his phone and casually searched the term the queen of music. To his surprise it was a title given to the top musical prodigy of a generation. Asher pulled on Jane's shirt to get her attention. She glanced at the picture of the most recent queen of music and was stunned.
"Jim, your daughter wouldn't happen to be eight years old when she got the queen of music title...would she?" Jane's voice was soft. She was not sure how this had all happened.
"Ohhh, you looked it up. Then yes that is my little girl when she was recognized. But you know how kids are in school. She hid the title and no child went looking for such things. She didn't even play for them until she was going to graduate. When she played they all realized the music she played had been used as the schools' opening theme for their mornings." Jim laughed at the memory.
"So by eight years old, she had achieved so much and even had the wits to hide it from others. I feel like we have been slacking for years." Asher felt his soul leave his body at this moment.

"I can't say someone has ever acted the way you two have. Normally people get very nice to me and try to meet here or get an autograph. You two just think you are slacking off." Jim was laughing even harder now. Once he had calmed himself down he returned to business as usual. "What can I do for my favorite campers tonight?"
Asher and Jane were surprised that they had been given the title of Jim's favorite campers. "Well, Jane needs to find one of those adrenalin protein drinks to see if it can cause her to shift in to her full super power form. We need to make sure she can use it without being completely caught up in her anger." Asher didn't have any reason to lie to Jim.
"That's all? It's an easy thing. Those will cost one point each. Most of the transformation based super power users need them to train. We also make them right here on the mountain. The herbs and fruit we make them from come from this camp in particular. I heard there's a camper that excels in these things, you knight want to get him to show you the herbs if it works." Jim had a small smirk as he told them this.
The two knew that the camper that excelled in this was Jackson. There was no way that another camper could earn such praise from any of the staff or counselors. "I will take five please. Even if it doesn't work we should see if I can use it in a match. It might be a good way to push myself to the limit and understand my own body." Jane was committed and pledge five points for them.
"What about you Asher, anything you need?" Asher was slowly browsing the protein shakes and found some strange vitamins.
"What are these here? I have never seen them before." The gummies were shaped like little squares and had slightly differing colors.
"Those are some pretty great vitamins. They are made with everything the body needs to repair from rigorous work outs and training. They are basically a healing button. They cost twenty points for a pack but are well worth it. Not many people can get them without the proper connections." Jim winked at the two as he said this.

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!
