《Taken : New Beginnings》Chapter 7 - Exit
Advertisement
I blink my eyes open slowly once more, shocked to even open them once again. As I blink the bleariness out of my eyes, and try to take stock of the situation, I can't help but notice a number of things. For example, the crushing pressure over most of my body, as well as the painful throbbing from all of those areas. 'Didn't clear the wall then...' I realise, as, obviously the only thing that could cause this and leave me still alive would be the wall. If the roof had collapsed, I'd be dead, and there was not really anything else to fall on me. Of course, as soon as I fully recognise myself as being conscious, a wave of tables once more arrives;

'Phew, now that was an ordeal. At least the dungeon is over and done with, I was afraid I'd have to go crawling through those rat tunnels next!' Although still pinned under rock, I can't help but be overjoyed that I've managed to clear the dungeon both within the required timeframe, and rightly at all. The stat bonuses don't hurt either. Nor does the loot. Or the exit portal that merely requires that I be in this atea for use. Still, I'd best make sure that I was not unconscious for too long;
'Dungeon Timer'
Dungeon Timer 1h 14m 54sec remaining before dungeon collapse
'Well, that's less than I hoped...' I had hoped to be able to look around the area a bit, and perhaps kill some standard rats, just for the XP and loot. Sadly, with that timer, I won't have time for anything like that. Still, it's worth trying to get out from under here, so that I can see what was behind the collapsed wall. As my head is free, and I can see the area around me, strewn with clumps of old bricks that did not fall apart, I start trying to move myself that way. My arms are still free, as my back is holding up most of the piece of wall above me, and so I use those to try and move myself forwards. Unfortunately, I am on my front; so I can't even attempt to lift the wall slightly, so that I can get out. However, I can slowly wriggle forwards, causing scrapes, which I repair with mana regrowth (as my mana has regenned), making some progress. After about 10 mins of slowly and painfully getting out from under the wall, My back is freed and just my legs are still under. As I once more try to continue moving forwards, the chunk of wall breaks in two without the support of my back, allowing me to slide easily underneath.

Once more getting to my feet, and looking around the room, I can see debris strewn around the service coridoor. Turning around and lookin around me, I see a cave like room, with a more etherial light to the electrical ones currently above me. Clambering over the rubbish and entering the room, I can see a chest on ground level. I recklessly approach the chest, despite the dungeon scene, and open the lid. After fighting for many hours, and undergoing heavy trauma for the rest of the last 23 hours has taken it's toll on me, and I didn't even cinsider that it might be trapped. I still open the lid fully though, as a stalagtite shatters to the floor beside me. Within, is a small pile of gold, a book, and some other miscellaneous stuff. Swiping it all into my inventory, I run through the cave entrance again, mentally screaming 'EXIT PORTAL' As I pass the boundry into the service tunnel, with more stalagtites and now some rocks and bricks falling around me, a bright flash encompasses my vision. I made it to the portal!

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
