Chapter 15
"Prisoner 43" silently bearing the name I self-assigned to myself. Golden cloaked figures surround me.. sentries stand solemnly at high vantage points… troopers scout the surroundings… trying to escape this encirclement is nigh impossible. Yet.. I believe myself to be a master of getting myself out of these sort of situations.
I ease the expression on my face as I attempt to curry favor with the troopers. Although I am a prisoner, the troopers are quite friendly. They chuckle and tell jokes about how they've slain dragons and colossal sized hydras.. I don't believe them of course but the way they so vividly describe the battles captures my attention. It's as if they actually battled these creatures... the commander even points out a scar he received from fighting such a creature.. "You don't need to go that far.." I mutter inwardly but still give him a fist bump.
They seem quite enthusiastic as they each tell their own stories.. I accept their stories seemingly unfazed, after all its just a figment of their imagination. A trace of uneasiness can be seen in the troopers eyes… "I swear my battle with the Scaled Wyvern would have surprised him.. maybe he has already slain one himself?" a trooper mutters. "Impossible… they travel in packs… its incredibly rare to encounter a wyvern alone… unless… did he perhaps slay a whole pack of them!?" the trooper continues to ramble on.
You notice Sara looking around curiously at the troopers.. she seems to be enjoying herself… "Ahh she hasn't realised the seriousness of the situation… ignorance is bliss sometimes.. should I kindly inform her?..... I'll let it be…"
The escort trudges on as we finally enter into the mountain itself… the atmosphere darkens.. caves seems to connect and criss cross… pathways stretch endlessly… glancing around I diligently memorize the route we have taken. "Fools" scoffing lightly I nod to myself as I look forward to the day I will escape.

"These caves have no patterns whatsoever, and with the magicians shifting the pathways randomly it makes it impossible to navigate." A trooper silently admires.
While my attention is focused I fail to notice the commander holding some sort of compass. The compass glows with some sort of mysterious energy and seems to guide the escort forward.
"Wooolf wolff" the pup's head pops out from under my robe... the pup gazes into the darkness… it's noses twitches.. "You don't like this underground environment either huh.. yeah that makes two of us buddy." Giving the pup a pat on the head, the pup looks up at me for a moment, before then nestling back into my robe.
After a couple of hours, a light starts to shine in the distance… "Here we are men! Just ahead is the Inner Conclave! Let us go meet the Emperor shall we" "Yes Sir!" the troopers shout in unison.
As the escort disappears from sight, silence once more returns to the caverns… an unknown amount of time passes… before a pair of glowing yellow eyes appear....

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
