《Eternal Soul》Chapter-23

Layla looked at Grekorio from head to toe, and spoke," You are exactly like your name. It's rare to see players here.", and pulled back her hand.
'That is a compliment, right?', Grekorio thought. Then opened his mouth to reply her, but before he could speak anything a few more silhouettes got out of the tent.
One of the silhouettes said,"Grekorio, it's good that you are back, since we will be departing now.", After Grekorio and Layla gave them space, they stepped out, letting Grekorio know who they are and who spoke earlier, they are Alexandre and the four leaders, that Grekorio can't remember the names, and the who spoke was Alexandre.
Alexandre with his back straight like a spear, spoke to Grekorio again,"I couldn't get a lich to help us, it seems that the general isn't that great of a fool, but the lich took pity on my situation and offered one of its two apprentices to help us for half the price, 200 cores.", and motioned to Layla at the side,"This is the lich's apprentice. It seems that you two already got to know each other."
"Yes, sir, but the plan is still the same?"
"Yes, it is.", Alexandre looked deeply at Grekorio, and it soon was replaced by a blank look.
'So i was right....', Then Grekorio replied,"Sir, when i was walking deep in the forest, i meet a friend, this friend said that he could help us by sending a few treants to fight against the wood elves."
Alexandre suprised said,"This friend of yours, by any chance, isn't one of the four kings, is it?"
"I don't know, maybe it's.", Grekorio answered innocently.
"You know what the four kings is?"

Grekorio shaked his head, and Layla by his side looked interested, after all Hyathea was released just a few days ago, so much isn't know, even more from this desolate part of continent, that don't have much players.
"On this mountain there are 4 kings, one for each face of the mountain, the north, south, east, west. They are North King Great Elder Treant, South King Black Wind Falcon, West King Undead King, East side is a place that where is born a lot of earth golem, they always stay sleep, their elder said to us that this mountain is an earth golem/elemental, and it's the one who gave birth to them, but due to their passive nature the one who is recognized as the king is from another race, The Shadow Fox."
Grekorio saved this information in his brain, and said,"What about the center?"
"The central part is neutral, place where the dark elves lives in between the north and the center, and in the center there is only grasslands, so that don't interest any race that lives in the mountain.", Alexandre finished speaking, looked at the sky and sayd,"Okay, i already answered enough question, we don't want to be later for the party, so hurry up and get ready to move!", he shouted the last part.
Alexandre moved to where the campfire was and waited there, Layla looked at Grekorio and asked,"How about we trade information to help each other?"
Grekorio looked silently at her, she pouted and said,"Okay, i will go first, name Layla, race half-dark elf, level 9, class necromancer apprentice, hope to end this quest without any difficulty, that is it."
"Name Grekorio, race dark-elf, level 12, class warrior.", Grekorio stayed silent early to think of a disguise, but luckly Layla unknowing help him.

"You are at quite a high level, if i am not wrong the one with highest level is 14.", Layla began to gesticulate, and soon Grekorio received a notification about friend request.
"Then good luck to us on there.", Grekorio said and turn to walk in one of the rows that are forming in front of Capt. Alexandre, while waiting for everyone to take their position, Grekorio opened his pet window, and pressing on woody avatar, a few option appeared, he choose "feed your pet with core's energy", after choosing it a window appeared to asking him if he was sure of his decision, after fed up with the energy from the 65 cores that are still inside his bag, Woody reached level 41 and the exp bar was 10% full.'It seems that i would need to farm many treants to level him up in this way.'
After everyone was ready, Alexandre explained to everyone what was the plan, and each they will take, then he taking the lead, they marched off to the cave.
On the way Grekorio was chatting with Woody, asking if it was ready, any mysterious place around here.
Half a hour later.
They reached the cave entrance, and without stopping, entered it. The inside was pure darkness, but to dark elves and even half-dark elves like Layla, it wasn't a problem, but Grekorio wasn't a dark elf, even though his race is overpowered, they can't have everything.
So while everyone was walking like it was a sunny day, Grekorio was like a blind man in middle of a gunfight, he even asked Woody if it has a way to help him, and was suprised with its answer.
"Master, close your eyes.", Woody said in his mind.
Grekorio closed his eyes and was suprised that he could see, his new vision showed him the silhouettes from the people around him, and it's not the body but the energy inside them.
"So this is how your race see?", Grekorio asks Woody.
"Yes and no, this vision is used for when we are disguised, it help us tell the difference of the things around us better than just feeling the vibration in the ground."
"I knew that it was the right decision to accept you as my mount.", Grekorio said happily, now that he wasn't blind anymore.
"Thanks Master.", saying that Woody went back to staying in silence.
While Grekorio was enjoying his new vision, Alexandre stopped and lifted his hand to gather everyone attetion, Grekorio not paying attetion almost collided with the person in front of him.
"Everyone find your place, and hide there.", Alexandre said in a loud and commanding tone, after which he started to call names to come forward, and soon Grekorio was called, suprised he stepped forward and stopped next to other called before.
"The 10 of you, me and Layla will go outside the cave to wait for the wood elves there, attack them and protect Layla.", Alexandre then turned around and shouted to everyone to get to their position, and took Grekorio and the other to outside the cave.

Project G00
|Nanopunk |Crafting | Detailed Science and experiments | Inner thoughts | Bio-Robots | Evolution | Infodumps | Tell not Show | Insane to Sane | Slow and Detailed Pace | Puddle to Unknown | Artificial Intelligence | Trans-humanism | Bad Jokes | Moving 'Dungeon' Core | Hi! I am G00. I am a project made by some weirdo. Some may refer to me as the wobbly thing in the fridge or the slimy thing in the ceiling. Others might tell you about that sticky thing inside your nose. In the end, they called me the Seed of Life, yet didn’t tell me what I was supposed to become. Furthermore, it just happens that this stage was the most miserable place to reincarnate... Reincarnate as in… What the hell did I become?! (Whispers) You are a puddle. A puddle? (Whispers) Yes. C’mon little guy, say your lines! You’re live right now! Welcome to puddle-springs aka the afterlife of a puddle. CUT! Eh? Why?! No edition or photoshop needed?! We’re short on puddle-staff. The camera is broken, I am broken, and you are broken. Wait! How can a puddle be broken? You are not a puddle, you are frozen yogurt. NOOOOOOOOOO! Additional summary: Spoiler: Spoiler Humanity has finally made the second step towards space. Many developments were taking place at the time this happened. All of them accomplished thanks to nanotechnology. Inventions regarding Artificial Intelligence and nanorobotics created the opportunity, a way to terraform planets by sending nanorobots to space. Their orders? Colonizing and preparing the new worlds before humanity's arrival, aka terraforming. Meet G00, a weird agglomeration of nanomachines. A bit stupid, but it's not because he was like that. The little guy... 'He' is really broken. The hardest start of a story is when language is oddly misunderstood, when you know nothing of the place you just arrived; when your companion is a buggy system, and when you have to repair yourself with whatever trash you can scavenge from your surroundings. All of this while you fight your worst enemy: potatoes? What will you do in an unfamiliar circumstance where nothing is what it seems and where you won't even understand the boring ramblings of a confused main character? Well, patience will... probably have a reward? Additional tags and disclaimers: Read before starting the story: Harem: Not included for the moment, depends on characters added, votes by readers, and things that happen on the go. Magic: Far away chapters maybe... as part of high level or non-understandable things by science. Slice of life: Probably some parts will include it. Disclaimer #1: Crazy amount of content about high-tech info-dumps, slow pace, starts with biology and nanotechnology. Might have some weird jokes and puns. Game bugs are also possible. Disclaimer #2: No puddles were harmed during the making of this story. No character is real, no real puddle was used as part of the cast. Character is stupid at the start on purpose but he will get beta and beta. All written content follows a logical approach no matter how stupid it appears to be, maybe… Because it’s just a raccoon splashing some cotton-candy over a puddle after it was thrown. Yup, a bully raccoon with rabies or so it seems.

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
