《Wholly Undead》Chapter 227: The Riddle of Flesh
Advertisement
Jack retrieved his soul after an unknown amount of time at the urging of constant mental messages.
"Jack... Ha... Ha... Ha... Why'd you stop...?" Emily squeezed out words, as she asked, with a flushed face.
Jack looked upon the erotic expression of Emily and was reminded of the wonders of flesh.
As Jack was looking upon the coquettish face of Emily, he reached out, [Lucius, just want the hell do you want?]
[Where the hell have yoooooou been?! HUH!?] Lucius snapped back instead of his usual worshiping attitude.
[I've been with Emily, doing... You know.]
[Well zombie's shit on a shingle, no wonder! It's been three days, and the FUCKING Holy Sentinels won't let me get anywhere close to Emily's workshop. Leslie said you were with her... Speaking of which, Leslie is going to break you in half. Her words, not mine.]
Jack felt a knot in his non-existence throat, [Uh... Why?]
[Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say it's because you soul danced with your second consort for... let's see... Oooh, I don't know, DAMN NEAR A WEEK! You think about it.]
[She's umm... Why didn't she come to get me? She knows how to get me.] Jack asked out of confusion.
"Who are you... Haaaaa... talking to?" Emily finally got her breathing under near control.
"Lucius... I'm in hot holy water now."
[Again, why did I agree to be your keeper!? You're the god here! I need something stronger than holy dust.] Lucius held his head in his office while he mentally messaged, while Shawn was to the side putting another burnt offering out.
[You can get Crag to get you some good stuff.]
[Haaaaaaaaa... To your question, I can only guess she didn't want to interrupt your time with another consort. So, you figure out the rest. Look, several undead are looking for an audience with you.]
"What's wrong?" Emily asked, not sure what hot holy water Jack was speaking of...
"One moment." Jack spoke, as he got off the floor where he and Emily had been having their 'fun.'

[Who?]
[A group of Envoys from Neolith... Princess Violet from Jakahn... And a representative from Stonedge... Oh... And some strange little girl that's the most... Disturbing.]
[Little girl? What's she like?]
[Think of a perfect undead mated with some black goats or maybe a dead ram. I don't know, but what I do know, is that witnesses say if you ask for her parent's names people turn into strange things, disappear, or... Magically heal... Leslie gave some information that she came from a port in Stonedge. We have her contained for now in the Jail, but the Warden is demanding you do something.]
[If she's contained, what's the problem?]
[She keeps... I don't know how to put it. She sings... And when she sings... Strange things show up in the jail quarters. We undead aren't scared of ghosts, you know that... But these things that show up, aren't ghost. We don't know what the fuck they are... Even I couldn't exercise them away.]
[What the fuck did she call up?]
[Jack... You just must deal with this. I'm not going to the jail quarters with you. I'm sorry. One of those damn things tried to hold me down and eat the middle out of me... At least I hope it was trying to eat me because the other thought it might be wanting to do disgusts me.]
[...]
"Jack, love? What's wrong???" Emily asked, watching Jack's odd movement.
"I think Death's daughter has arrived..." Jack blurted out.
"Dea-Death's daughter???"
"Yeah... I'll figure something out later."
[Are you still there, or are you knee-deep in Emily's soul again? Hello? JACK!? DAMN IT!]
[Lucius, I'm here. Calm down!]
[Oh... Well... I'd be the last undead to cry help but seeing as I was the last undead that got ran out of the jails... HELP!]
[Okay! What about the princess whatever and the others?]
[Oh, we provided for them. They are here in the palace. When we get a chance, we can see them. I'm not worried about them. Just take care of whatever that strange little girl is first, please... For the faithful?]

[I-]
[FOR THE FAITHFUL, JACK!]
[Oh-]
[PEOPLE LEFT THE CHURCH AFTER SEEING HER!!! WE'RE LOSING MONEY, JACK! DO YOU UNDERSTAND! THIS IS FOR THE FAITHFUL!]
[... I got it...]
[Whew... Tell me when you've... Done, whatever you've done... Throw her into the Brimstone Ocean for all I care, just don't let anyone know about it. I don't want to lose more members here in Saigunrai...]
[Okay. Then put in some words with Leslie.]
[Already tried... You're on your own.] Lucius piped up, and then Jack felt the connection break.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa~" Jack let a long drawn out sigh, as Emily pulled herself up using Jack's ribcage, as the clinking of vials within chimed.
Jack looked down at the horned beauty that clung to him as he spoke, "I hate to cut this short, but it seems We've been in here for about a week. Things are lacking without me."
"A week? Doesn't seem like it's been that long." Emily commented as she squeezed her eyes, as she looked upon Jack's visage.
"Yeah... I don't think so either."
"We should definitely do this more. Like... Everyday." Emily nodded vigorously.
"OH!!!"
"I know, right!" Emily exclaimed in agreement.
"Oh, no, no! I mean, yes, but actually no. I wanted to ask what your Goddess type powers were." Jack answered.
Emily stood up completely in thought, before speaking, "Like what?"
"Well, I mean I do weird things with the light and I can float. What about you?"
"I... Breath and eat like I'm alive... Oh, I remember Hecate said I can heal flesh and grant flesh." Emily thought out loud slowly.
"Wait, wait, wait, back up, what does grant flesh mean?"
"Means I can bestow my gift of ghouls to another undead. It gives them a body like mine, but it does make them a ghoul, you know. A living undead."
"Can you give me flesh?" Jack asked quickly.
"Hmmmmmmmm... I don't know. Give me your arm." Emily thought for a moment, before deciding.
Jack quickly extended his right arm to Emily, as she held the arm and traced her fingers over the bones, "Such a shame to cover such bones with flesh, but let's see. I'm quite curious now than you mention such a thing."
Emily's right index finger quickly drew some random-looking patterned rune in the air, before bringing that rune to above Jack's hand.
The air twisted around Jack's large skeletal hand, as golden liquid gushed from around his bony fingers, hand, and wrist. As the golden blood twisted as it was alive, it began to mend itself around the bones.
Jack witness a similar feat when Emily regrew her midsection! He was excited, to say the least.
In a matter of moments, Jack looked down at a hand that appeared to be tanned with a slight gold hue. He flexed his hand and felt the flesh squish, but it felt empty.
[Blood, huh.] Jack thought to himself.
"Oh, it wor-"
Before Emily could finish her words, the ruins on Jack's body lit up. The Gold hue died from the new flesh before it turned black and dry. Jack flexed his hand again, and the husk of dry skin and flesh cracked off and landed on the floor, revealing his skeletal hand once more.
"Haaaa~"
"What went wrong???" Emily looked over the now dimming runes on Jack's body.
"I believe I'm cursed to some degree. I think... Well... I don't know... I'll have to do experiments later."
"I can help!"
Jack nodded, as he patted Emily's head.
"I know you will. Thank you in advance. I'm going to go see about that strange little girl. I'll message you if I need you, okay?"
"Sure!" Emily watched Jack begin to leave, as she heard him mutter to himself, "Why can't anything ever be easy..."
Emily shook her head, as she turned her sight on the now stale corpse, she had been eating a few days ago... She approached and with a few pokes felt it was still good enough and began to once again fill her belly.

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.

Liana in between Worlds
17 year old Liana is not as surprised as most people would be when she meets Inaya, coming from another world searching for a mysterious danger that could be disastrous for both worlds. She's always seen things others could not see, and she often finds it easier to befriend strange creatures from dreamworlds than her classmates. But now she's involved in a possible plot to eradicate our whole species, which makes her travel through a dead alien city and the oak wood of the Nummerfa who believe that our species are dangerous demons from hell, and other places in several different worlds. All she actually wanted was read her Tolkien book, or sit and watch the stars without being bothered by the existential problems of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And how is she going to even explain her absence at school? 'Liana in Between Words' is a weird genre-defying mix of portal fantasy and scifi in a tale of friendship, loneliness, and the role of humans in the multiverse. This one contains absolutely no romance and no serious trigger warnings for sex, excessive violence, bad words or heavily traumatising content if you can handle the idea that there are people somewhere who think -maybe not completely without reason- that our species are destructive demons that should be eradicated.
