《Moonlit sky》Chapter 4 - Gym
Advertisement
"We are almost there, how much time do we have left?" Said Demian as he ran to the entrance to gym.
"About 10 more seconds, hurry up grab what you need!" Yelled Tenebris as he ran into the gym as started looking around himself, hoping to find something he might use as a weapon. Suddenly ground below them started shaking, that beam of light started shining like a bright sun on the sky, they were standing at the entrance watching that beam expand in size.
Ding!
Another system notification was heard and bright blue screen popped up in front of everyone.
3! 2! 1! Apocalypse starting!
With that blue screen faded and that beam of light flashed, blinding everyone as they started tumbling around as they finally fell, gym lockers that were right beside the entrance fell over them with a bang and then, it all stopped, it was a complete silence.
Ugh! What is this, what happened, damn this locker is so heavy, i can barely move, i need to get out and check whats going on. Thought Tenebris as he slowly crawled under that locker that was on top of him. It's dark, wait, no... It's night, i can see moon again, oh moon my good brother i missed you. As he looked around himself he noticed whole school was a mess, there was no light, only pale moonlight barely outlining the school, east wing of the school was on fire, that fire was lighting up a bit of its surrounding, but oddly enough it wasn't spreading, it was just burning quietly in the night, flames were licking damaged and burned down walls, but that was it, it was like that fire was trapped in time, only existing, but neither progressing nor regressing, stagnating in place. West wing was half collapsed, whole top floor was missing, stacked on top of second floor, windows shattered and walls crumbling bit by bit, whole west wing looked like it was about to collapse any time now, but it was still standing firm in place. Only central part of the school was whole, well except shattered windows and some peeled of paint. Tenebris turned around looking at the inside of the gym, everything was a mess, lockers were all over the place, there was a huge hole on the ceiling, pale moonlight breaching through that hole, lighting up this gym a bit.

"Well damn, this is some messed up shi..."As he was mumbling to himself he suddenly heard a moan next to him, he rushed up to check it, he noticed a hand sticking under the locked, pale, soft and tender arm.
"Blondey?! Are you alright, can you move?" He said as he tried moving that locker of her, with some effort he managed to lift it up a bit, enough for Tanya to crawl out a bit.
Bang! He dropped that locker back down as soon as he saw her out.
"What are these lockers made of, lead?! I almost sprained my arm damn it!" He said, frowning and rubbing his arms.
"Are you okay? Can you move? Breathe in, check if you are injured somewhere." He said softly as he turned around to look at Tanya which was sitting behind him.
"Huh?! Ye-yeah, i'm fine, just bruised a bit, nothing serious, where is Demian?"
"Oh i forgot about him!" He said as he rushed trying to find any sign of life under those lockers around him.
"I'm here, i can't get out i'm stuck."
"Put some effort in it, here i'll try and lift it up a bit for you." Answered Tenebris as he started lifting a locker again.
"Okay. I'm out, thanks."
Ding!
You have entered dungeon "Benedikt High School". In order to leave this dungeon you have to defeat all dungeon bosses, every attempt of departure before conditions are met will be punishable with death. Good luck, have fun!
"Dungeon? Bosses? What is happening i don't understand? And how can any one sane say good luck have fun? What kind of a sick mind do you have in order to say that?!" Tanya was practically screaming last part of her sentence.
Well i know quite a few people like that... "Keep quiet, you might attract some monsters if you keep screaming like that!" Whispered Tenebris quietly. She immediately shut her mouth and cover her mouth with her hands.

"Let's look around a bit, let's try and find something useful, you two check the lockers for some food, we don't know how much time we will spend here, i'll go around and try to find some weapons for us." Whispered Tenebris as he turned around and started walking away from two youth that were still sitting on the floor dumbfounded.
Jeez, will those two wake up already and realise what is happening around them now, do they not realise yet that it's worlds end already. Gosh, well it might not be an end, maybe it's something more of a natural selection, strong eats weak world i guess, not that much different from my previous world i guess, just more direct, well anyway i will put myself on top of the food chain so i don't have to worry about it... Oh look there it is! Tenebris sped up as he saw something he was looking for, doors of gym equipment storage, if there is anything useful in this gym, there ought to be in gym storage!
Creak! Sound of doors opening was echoing through the gym, Demian and Tanya turned around and saw Tenebris walk into doors and disappear into the darkness.
Jackpot! This is what i need! He knew there was couple of martial arts clubs in this high school so he knew there was spare equipment stored somewhere. Gloves, pads, bats, bokkens and even some old chipped swords. He took a towel and started collecting everything that might be of some use on a pile and he took an iron chipped sword and tied it to his back with its handle sticking out at his right hip. As he finished and started tying a knot of that towel he saw an old heater in the corner, one of portable ones so he went over to grab that when suddenly he felt piercing pain from his shoulder!
Ack! He almost screamed out in pain!
-12! Critical strike.
He turned around only to see a small bat flying around him flapping its wings in the air, but to his shock it wasn't only one, there were dozens of bats hanging from the ceiling looking down at him. He slowly reached out towards his back to grab his sword, and bats as if sensing that all rushed out swarming him, striking him with their claws in turns.
Shing! Swish, swish, swish!
Metal slashing flesh was heard as he unsheeted his sword and waved it through the air with utmost precision.
-30! Fatal strike! -30! Fatal strike! -30! Fatal strike! -30! Fatal strike! -30! Fatal strike!
Red letters faded throughthe air, every single of his sword strike was a fatal strike for a bat, killing multiple bats with single stroke of his sword, just a couple of brief moments later there were no more bats.
Ding!
You have leveled up! You have been granted 5 bonus attribute points! You have leveled up! You have been granted 5 bonus attribute points! Your close combat has been upgraded to level 2! For being the first person to level up a skill you have been granted 1 bonus skill point!
As he turned around himself checking for more bats, making sure there were none left he softly said. "Status."

Forged
Legendary swordsmen, whose feats are hailed and names known far and wide. Many wish to be one, but few have the dedication to follow the path of the blade all the way through, with all of the trials and tribulations that entails. But those who reach the end can become something far greater than they once were. Great warriors aren’t born, they’re forged. A coming-of-age story mixed with a Martial journey story. Think Youxia, Musha Shogyou, or Knight Errant. A martial arts and action heavy story with a focus of slow progression, and detailed character development over time. One protagonist, but a significant amount from other character's POVs, and a notable amount of focus on other character's development. Disclaimer:Title/cover is metaphorical, no literal forging as of this time.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.

For You, I Would Forsake The World
This is the story of a person from a desolate and bleak future who dies and reincarnates into a fantasy world of swords and magic and finds meaning in his meaningless existence. -- Notes --- This story is told from multiple povs, I think I've made it obvious when the pov change has happened.- This site doesn't really have a specific tag for it so I'll add it in the synopsis, the romance in this story is incest.- I do all the writing and proofreading, so if you see some mistakes I've missed please point them out.- The beginning is more world-building and setting up the plot and mechanics so don't expect too much action in the first ark.
