《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 84 - Crypt of the Skeleton King (Diablo III)

Sonya: Nah, I don’t think It can be turned.
Sonya says as she tries to turn the wheel to open the door.
Sonya: We came all this way just to be stopped by a locked door.
Sonya drops down to the ground after climbing up to the wheel.
????: Let me have a try.
A armored man says while holds up his shield upfront.
????: Don’t be a fool, Kormac. The door is designed to keep King Leoric from coming out and keep outsiders from coming in.
A man who wears similarly like Eucliwood speaks.
Armored man: Shut up, Jondar. At least we give it a try.
The armored man with the shield is Kormac and the man who wears similarly like Eucliwood is Jondar. Kormac was found held down by Dark Cultists when the group found him. After helping him to fight Jondar, Shang stops Kormac from killing him, saying that at least he should hear him out. Jondar told Kormac about his forgotten memories and the latter found his story unbelievable. After recovering his memories with the help of Li-ming and Nazeebo, Kormac now wonders whether if he should also leave the Order.
Kormac charges against the door, hoping it will break open.
It does not seem to have any effect on the locked door.
Johanna: One might not be enough, Maybe two will do.
Johanna holds up her shield upfront.
Together with the armored man, they try to charge down the door but fail to do so.
Sonya: how about magic?
Sonya looks at the three classes who can use magic.
Li-ming: We have used enough magic along the way. Overusing it will do us no good when we fight King Leoric.
Sonya: Explosives?
Sonya turns to Valla.
Valla: Not enough to bring the door down but enough to destroy the wheel. There is a risk of the door being permanently locked if the wheel is destroyed.

Sonya: Let's do that and we can all go home.
Johanna: You forgot about the fallen star.
If it’s not for Johanna’s reminder, Sonya had forgotten what she originally came for.
Sonya: Cheh… If only things can be simple for us... Shang, what are you looking at?
Sonya says after being reminded by Johanna and notices Shang seems to be checking something on the wall.
Shang: Looks like the door has to do with Horadrim.
Shang has found a sign of Horadrim which is hidden away by pots after they were knocked down by the impact which was caused by the charge of both Johanna and Kormac.
Sonya: Why does the Horadrim had to do with everything? I thought sealing demons should be their forte.
Shang touches the locked door and uses Horadric magic.
Shang: Well, if you know the lores well, you know how Leoric is connected with the demons.
The wheel on the crypt door starts to push itself out and turn, unlocking the door.
Shang: There you go.
After the group enters, the spirit of King Leoric shows up in front of them.
Leoric: You’ll never defeat me! UWAHAHAHA!
Leoric says while he destroys the pathway that leads straight to him.
Kormac: You were defeated the moment you surrendered to madness!
Leoric ignores Kormac and disappears after summoning more skeletons to fight the group.
Shang looks at the broken pathway and then looks at the approaching skeletons.
Shang: Eucliwood, I have an idea...

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

The Roseguard's Odyssey: The tale of the hunted
Ablan is the home of the most skilled warriors in Aelmion, the brotherhood of bounty hunters. But even these ruthless hunters are kept in line by the Council Shadows, ten apex hunters and their guilds who rule Ablan from the top of the floating oasis casino. Luna is a shadow of Ablan. But when it comes to bounties, she and her guild have two strict rules: no killing, and no contracts involving children or animals in any way. When a criminal syndicate came to her to bring in a group of slavers, it was supposed to just end with her being paid her weight in gold. But aside from her reward, what she found in the slaver’s mines was Elizabeth. Unable to leave the seven-year-old alone, she breaks her own rule and agrees to bring the child home. But as they begin the long journey across the continent, Luna finds out that the child is the missing Princess Elizabeth Balder Van Stahlblut II, the heir of the two powerful empires of the Braenarim Republic and the Iron Nation of Aspana. As if protecting a princess is bad enough, it only gets worse. To get home, they need to go through the United Silvus States, a pro-human nation that is hell bent on taking the princess by any means. But not just Silvus is their problem. A race of murderous machines, mage executioners called the Huntsmen, the enigmatic Chimera trading company, other bounty hunters, and even savage monsters in the dark stand in their way. To protect her, all of Luna’s skills and the limits of her morality are put to the test. But will it be enough? Can both of them survive the Tale of the hunted? =0*o*0= Cover portrait created by the very talented tsuki_desenha at Instagram! Look him up for his incredible work!
