《Rise of the Undead Legion》IRL
Advertisement
Dave abruptly sat on his bed and asked, "Where are you right now?"
"Am calling you from home, it's in New York if you live close by just get to time square and we will get there to speak further."
"Alright, shouldn't be a problem I will be there in an hour," said Dave as he hung up.
Dave then dialed another number and waited for the beep.
"Hey, Daveey!!"
Dave's eardrums threatened to burst when he heard Lone Arrow's high pitched voice.
Dave sighed before he said
"Lone, Perfect Shot contacted me for the TV show program, is your lawyer available?"
"Yea, don't worry he will always make time for me. Where are you right now I can come to pick you up if you live near New York."
Dave was startled but he said, "I will get to time square in an hour we can meet there."
"Alright, I will call the lawyer and we can head there together." Said Lone and Hung up, her voice contained a bit of excitement. Probably from meeting the infamous Mr.Skeletal IRL.
Dave's heart couldn't help but tremble when he realized the sorry state he was in.
Thinking about how Lone Arrow's attitude gave him the impression that she was a little princess he saw the disparity between his poor life and her High-Class life.
'It doesn't matter, I just need to get this done with, probably I will be able to get a good life after this. Perhaps fixing these injuries won't be a problem anymore.'
Dave comforted himself and went to wear his best jeans and shirt.
After leaving the house he noticed that Ms. Clementine's shop was closed.
'Strange, she should be open right now,' Dave had a strange feeling about lady Clementine's absence but didn't look much into it.
Taking a cab to New York, it cost Dave a bit above 100$ which ached his heart strongly.
After paying the taxi Driver who let him off, he went to have a bite.
Looking at his empty pockets he went to the cash dispenser and went to withdraw some money.
But when he looked at the numbers on his bank account his eyes went wide open.
"107,000$! Where did that come from?" Dave's mind was in turmoil until he remembered that that was his share from the Diamonds Lone Arrow sold at the auction house.
"She already sent the money, with this I can rent a better apartment." Said Dave to himself.
Turning to gaze across the busy streets of Timesquare he located a luxurious restaurant and went there to have a bite.
"I need to eat, that looks like a good place to have a bite." Said, Dave, as he looked at a restaurant named F-Sinatra.

When Dave entered the restaurant the cashier looked at Dave with a strange gaze.
As he saw, Dave was wearing some old jeans and a shirt that had a food stain that Dave didn't notice when wearing it.
When Dave went to order. The cashier asked his superior to handle Dave.
The manager came to Dave and pulled him aside asking him.
"What can we do for you?" asked the manager.
"Euh, the usual? So food?" Dave said as he didn't recognize the strange look the many customers were giving him.
"Alright, you can put your order here, pay first," said the manager with a smile and waited for Dave to pull out the cash before the cashier would take his order.
The Manager didn't believe that Dave was actually capable of paying for the food as he looked more like a homeless person than a regular customer.
Dave finally understood that they were looking down on him and it filled him with disgust.
Dave pulled his old wallet showing the manager the hundred-dollar bills that were neatly organized there.
The manager's forehead became drenched in sweat as he thought 'brother! Would it kill you to dress like a normal person if you have that much money!"
"Apologies for the discomfort sir client, you can take a seat and we will send the order to your table, free of charge!" bitterly said the manager after he gave a serious glance at the cashier.
Dave scoffed in his heart and went to the furthest corner.
With his limping leg and grievous wounds on his right hand, many costumers looked at him with eyes of pity and some even looked at him with disgust.
Dave's order came soon after and there were even some extras placed along the order. And an apology letter. He didn't even bother reading it.
Dave ate to his heart's content then he heard his phone ringing.
It was Lone Arrow
"Davey! Where are you?"
"At F-Sinatra's Restaurant, am waiting for your and Perfect Shot's call."
"Alright, we will be there soon." Said Lone Arrow and hung up.
After a moment Dave heard the thundering rumble of a sport's car.
A purple Lamborghini of a model Dave didn't know just parked outside the restaurant.
The people at the restaurant all turned to look at the exquisite car that just parked.
As for Dave, he was too distracted by the food to care for whatever rich guy just parked that more than a million dollar car.
An old man wearing a tuxedo entered the restaurant first and opened the door for a young lady with purple hair.
Her hair plunged over her shoulders with blossoming soft sweet lips. She had a gloss skin with a wasp waist. She wore a tight black miniskirt with a brand shirt to match. An expensive purse strapped over her shoulder gave her the air of a young rich-lady.

Many costumers' faces were glued to the figure. Except for Dave who was wolfing down his food.
The girl's face was looking all over the place then brought a phone from her purse and dialed a number.
Dave's phone rang startling him. He wiped his hand with a napkin and said, "hey lone." Receiving no answer Dave was perplexed until a figure stood near him.
"Davey!" said the figure when Dave turned he saw the over the world beauty looking at him.
He looked behind him seeing no one he turned back and pointed at himself like an idiot.
"Davey!" said Lone with a beaming smile and sat next to him.
Dave reacted with covered his right hand and said after a cough.
"Lone?"
The girl nodded and said "Finally we meet, isn't that right Mr.Skeletal" the last word was said in a hushed tone.
"You look surprised," said, Lone.
"Yea, ahm never had I thought that Lone Arrow was such…euh beauty," said Dave with an embarrassed tone.
He was caught off-guard with gravy on his hand and around his mouth, and food that was more mauled than eaten. He felt ashamed but Lone didn't bother.
Lone Arrow smiled hearing the awkward praise Dave gave her then said: "Uncle Sam, this is Dave, the person who will be signing the contract."
"Greetings," said the old man and sat placing his briefcase next to the table.
"Excuse me please!" said Dave as he went to the restroom to wash up.
"Shit shit, shit! And I thought she would be some ugly NEET!" said Dave as his heart was still racing from the encounter.
Looking at himself in the mirror Dave facepalmed saying "Way to go Dave, you just made yourself look like a complete creep!"
Dave washed his hands and tried his best to fix his hair and went back to the table.
When he sat down, the charming smile on Lone's face didn't change for a moment.
Even after gazing at his hand and the way he walked she didn't have a single ounce of disrespect or disdain shown to Dave.
"Alright, so Zoe Here asked me to come and be your representative in signing a contract with a TV company. As I see right now the other party has yet to show up."
"Y-yes," said Dave with a startle as he was still a bit perturbed, but he got his bearing and said "The others will contact us soon" and right after he finished speaking, his phone rang once again.
"Perfect, Where are you?" asked Dave.
"We just arrived at Time's Square, sorry for the delay pops insisted on taking his car and it gave up on us halfway…" said Perfect shot in an embarrassed tone.
"It's alright, we are at F-Sinatra's restaurant. Come meet us.
"We?"
"Yea, I brought some company."
"Alright, we are nearby, give us a minute." Said Perfect Shot then hung up.
"Isn't this guy one of those TNT?" asked Lone.
"Yea, I met them later and he proposed this deal. But I still worry about my identity, so thank you for bringing euh, your uncle Sam."
"You don't have to worry about your identity being revealed. With uncle Sam here, I guarantee that you will take a lion's share in this business. Just don't forget little me and take me on more of those adventures!" said Lone Arrow with a pouting face.
Dave smiled and said "Don't worry, there is still a lot to explore in the underworld. We can always go there."
Lone Arrow's smile almost melted Dave's heart then he coughed.
Finding nothing to change the subject he said abruptly, "he should be here soon."
The restaurant's door opened once again and an old man with a younger person entered.
The old man had a businessman's bearing. He wore a classic suit on top of a white shirt with a loose colar, while the younger person was dressed in brand clothes and had a tall stature with a handsome face.
The young man used his phone and when he heard the phone ringing at Dave's table he hung up and asked his father to come over.
The young man's gaze was stuck at the figure sitting right next to Dave for a moment before his father nudged him back to reality.
The boy had an embarrassed look on his face but still went ahead and said in a hushed tone.
"Mr.Skeletal?"
Dave looked and nodded, then the person found a seat and sat at the table.
The old man with him looked at the group and found a seat for himself.
"It's me first time doing business in a restaurant," the old man laughed.
"There is a first to everything pops," said the young man and then turned his face to Dave and said.
"So, ready for business?"

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
