《Written In Stone》Carsen ~ Chapter 2:The Crossroads.
Advertisement
My head feels like It does when there's no air in water and I'm hanging out under the surface. I thought. I looked around me and saw unconscious Skylar lying on the floor. She had a large goose bump, but it didn't matter, he could take care of it later, but right now he needed to look around their human crash site.
He looked up at the ceiling and surprisingly there was no hole. Her powers were always one step ahead. I looked around our surroundings and noticed that there was a tunnel in each cardinal directions, above each tunnel there was a carved symbol; one an W.S., one an M.C., one a R.O.C., and an E.B. and under it Suddenly a roar echoed all around the crossroads and a blast of heat shot out of the tunnel marked “” and under it “M.C.”. I didn't think about Skylar, my instincts just kicked in: I ran into the tunnel marked M.C. The stink of sulfur hit my nose like a hammer, but that's not what really hurt; the heat burned my lungs. “Can you chill out heat?” I croaked. A reddish glow originated from the end of the long tunnel. I was sweating so much now that I was soaked, I was now so exhausted that I was having a hard time even creating a small air bubble, but I still managed to make one of respectable size, and it was no sulfur smelling and cool. After what felt like hours I finally reached the source of the heat; Magma. I saw amazing things: I saw something that I thought looked like a Chimera trapped in a cage of water. I snuck around against the wall and found myself by a door with this symbol that looked to have been blazed onto the wood of the door. I reached for the handle but when I tried to grab it felt like someone had put a hot metal rod to the palm of my hand.

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
