《Blue Screen Blues》B2: Chapter 16: The Journey Through The Eyefore Corridor
Advertisement
After Traveling 4 hours to the north everyone stops at a random lake and unchains the Gatorboar’s and lets them loose to go swimming and cool off.
“So, this is what you all have been doing these past few days?” Kannell asks.
“Yep. It’s a Pretty fun easy job” Ryan replies as he watches these beasts dive into the water.
Everyone watches Zephyr Limp over to a Tree and sit down still slightly Depressed on her loss.
“Shes doing better” Ryan said as he looks over at her.
“Ya I know, but shes still dead inside go be with her” Kannell tells him
He just smiles and walks over to her. He slides himself behind her and the Tree and sits down. He then puts his arms around and pull her into him while slowly nibbling on her cute cat ear.
“How are you Feeling honey?” Ryan said while slowly rubbing her shoulders.
“I’m doing okay honey” She said in a Depressed tone.
“You don’t sound okay. Are you still upset about losing your tail?” Ryan while hugging her waist tight.
“No, I’m more upset over how you ran away, Also I’m a little mad now my Contract I had with you has been torn up by Queen Lake” She told him.
“I am still sorry about that honey” Ryan told her while hugging her and playfully biting her neck.
“Hehe stop that, that tickles” Zephyr said while enjoying the pleasure from this bite.
“I am in love with this new hair color of yours, Your So Sexy” Ryan told her putting his nose to her hair and smelling it.
“Aww really?” Zephyr said in an Emotional tone to her voice.
“Yes, I mean it. He said while pulling her by her chin to him and kissing her”
She then turns around in his lap and they start making out.
Pretty soon they call the Gatorboar’s back to them and hook them back up to the Trailer. Then they start heading north for 3 more hours. They Arrive at a New Bridge to Cross the St.Jonny’s River.
The bridge looked stout, so they cross it with extreme Caution. They get to the other side with no problems and then decide to stop.
Ryan unhooks the Gatorboar’s and lets them go Swimming in the water to cool off for about 20 minutes while everyone stretches their legs. He then calls them back to him and rehooks them up to the Trailer and then start moving north again for 2 more hours.
As they approach The Eyefore PVP corridor Ryan sees something that sticks out in the distance.
“What the hell is that thing?” Ryan asks as he points to a Weirdly looking Rock that stands 18 stories tall in the distance that was standing in the middle of nowhere.
“That my Friend is what we call the Eyefore Corridor Eyesore” Noodle said with a Laugh.
“Legend has it that it was a Religious Totem that would grant people who Prayed to it Safe passage through the PVP corridor were about to pass through” Kannell said.
“Ya what she said” Zephyr said while laughing.
“Wait, were about to go through a PVP zone?” Ryan asked in shock while he stops the Vehical.
“Yes, we must transition through the Eyefore Corridor; The most Dangerous Zone in the world, to get to get to the kingdom of Eyefore” Kannell told him.
“Oh great!” Ryan said as he hops in the back and grabs his Spell blade. Everyone else follows suit and grabs their gear. Noodle Puts on his Armor and Greena Grabs her staff.

“Wait a Minute, Zephyr can’t fight, can she?” Ryan said while realizing this crucial flaw right now.
“No, I can’t fight in this state yet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t Drive while you guys fight for me” Zephyr told them.
“Okay. I think I know what I want us to do” Ryan said while looking at the Trailer.
I want Kannell sitting on the back, I want Greena sitting up front and I want noodle on the left side while I sit on the right side. This way we have all 4 directions covered” Ryan orders everyone.
“Greena go ahead and put Purgatory on us” Ryan said.
“That wont work. This is a Combat zone, Purgatory wears off the minute we walk through it. If you Die Your Dead” Greena told him.
As soon as she said that He remembers his conversation with Alexandria before he got sent down here. She said the same exact thing to him,along with the fact if he dies in this game he’s going to hell. This makes his Heart rate shoot up and he starts to get nervous.
Zephyr picks up on this change of mood immediately somehow on Ryan.
“You okay Honey? Whats wrong?” Zephyr said in a concerned tone.
“I’m just a little worried about dying. I’ve haven’t had the best luck at staying alive you know” Ryan told her.
“You will be fine. IF someone kills you, I will make them suffer a Slow agonizing death” Zephyr said in a flirty tone.
“Aww That’s cute and makes me feel better” Ryan told her while giving her a kiss on the lips.
“Alrighty guys lets get through this zone” Ryan said as he hops on and takes a deep nervous breath.
Zephyr takes a hold of the Reins and they start charging at 10 miles an hour.
They start to climb up a hill and the Terrain Changes. It Goes from a Green forest full of pine Trees to a Reddish clay wasteland. There was the taste of blood in the Air and there were thousands of Signs warning about the Eyefore PVP zone ahead.
Ryan then takes his Phone and puts on the song “Spitfire” from The Prodigy. And Enables the Buff mode settings on the song. This song Gave his whole entire team 30% more Defense and Spirit for the next hour.
Then he puts the song On Global mode, and they hang on. They blow by a Camp full of Bandits and Ryan orders Zephyr to just keep going.
“They’re coming for us!” Kannell shouts from up top of the Create full of Demon core crystals.
“Crap! Prepare your spells Kannell!” Ryan orders her as he climbs up top of the crates and crawls toward her as the bumps Terrain shakes the cart. He then jumps down and joins her.
30 men on Horse back were catching up to them quick.
“Greena! Charge up Shadow blast!” He shouts up front of the cart.
“Got it!” Greena shouts back. She then crawls up on top of the Crate behind the Driver and has a clear view of the incoming attackers. She then charges up her spell as Ryan and Kannell Let loose a barrage of spells.
The incoming Men zig zag to avoid Ryan’s and Kannell’s incoming attacks on their horses as they get closer Greena Charges her spell up to full blast and lets loose her Purple Laser stage of her spell. Then its Explodes knocking 2 dozen men off their horses. The men that were on the side of the blast that didn’t get hit run up and meet up with the Trailer on the left side and they cast a spell on two of the wooden Wheels causing the hubs to break. This makes the Gatorboar’s grind to a stop.

“Shit! Left side!” Noodle yells. Suddenly from the rear of the cart the mages light up Noodle. Kannell and Ryan run to his side and Noodle is just sitting there shrugging his shoulders.
“You call that a Hit?” Noodle said while pulling out his sword.
The mages then fire another barrage at him, and he slowly walks toward them pissed.
“Guys like what the hell? Your about to get your ass beat stop while your ahead!” Noodle said as he watches these 2 mages get a scared look on their faces. They then open up another barrage on him as he walks through the dust cloud. Meanwhile from behind the Cart Ryan and Kannell just got done charging up a [Ball Lighting] and [Arcane Barrage] From a Distance while they were distracted. They then let loose their spells and they go flying toward them. Kannell’s spell hits one of the mages and kills him instantly while Ryan’s Lightning bolt that was cast in Lightning Mode stuns the other man for 3 seconds. This enables Noodle to Grab him by the arm and yank him off his horse. He then Stabs him in the chest with his sword and kicks him in the head. He then takes his horse and hops on it.
“I’ll take care of the other guys you all Fix that Wheel!” Noodle said as he rides off with his shield and sword ready.
“Hang on… Is he Immune to magic or something?” Ryan asks seeming confused.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know” Kannell said as they see Mages throw tons of spells at him in desperation.
Ryan pulls out his phone while the song was still playing and scans him. He was still at 94% health and getting blasted. He was charging head on and cutting them down with Elegance at the same time.
“Holy crap he’s good on a horse!” Ryan said in amazement as he watch him slam his shield into a head-on mage’s face and attack another man who looked like a Warrior with his sword knocking both of them down.
“Yes, Joseph has always been good on horseback, His family used to own a Jousting Ring” Kannell said as They charge up spells and Fire them off toward the incoming Bandits.
As soon as Ryan Lets off his spell he gets hit in the leg by an Arrow and goes down.
“Shit! Shit! Shit!” Ryan Screams in pain. Greena then comes off the chart and runs to him. She Grabs the arrow and pulls it out of his leg quickly without giving him any warning. This makes him scream in agony then she heals him up with [Shadow Heal]. This makes him scream even more.
While this Occurred A Bandit rode up to the front of the cart where Zephyr was at. The bandit pulls out his sword and gets ready to attack Zephyr and she just smiles at him with a demented look. This throws him off a little bit because She wasn’t scared then she uses [Throw Knife] at him and hits him dead in the Eye causing him to go down screaming. Then she casts it again and Aims for his throat. She then Slowly jumps down and limps over to him and pulls her blades out of him and stabs him 8 times in the chest there by ending the threat, and his suffering. Suddenly She feels a sharp sensation on her face. She feels an Arrow flying in from a distance. She homes in on direction on this Disturbance and sees it coming and ducks as flies into the side of the Trailer.
"Archer Front side to the West!" Zephyr Screams as she pulls herself back inside the chart and ducks. This makes Kannell Leap into the Air and blast toward him. As she casts [Slow Fall] on herself she sees the man aiming at her and casts her [Mana Shield] then she unleashes hell on him at an Altitude of 800 feet. She then Glides down toward Noodle and Releases another blast upon his targets. She takes out 10 people and when she lands, he slows down, and she hops on the back of the horse and he charges back to the Trailer.
As soon as this happens Kannell Hops off and Casts a Spell on the Trailer and lifts it up just enough for Ryan to remove a Cotter pin on the broken wheel and remove one of the wheels. He then Crawls under the trailer and pulls out another wooden Wheel and puts it on. As soon as he does this Kannell puts the Trailer down and takes a Break to Recharge her mana as lifting it was really taxing mentally and on her mana. She takes a 3-minute break and drinks some water. The Area seemed clear
All of a Sudden Zephyr casts [Throw Knife] on somone who was stealthed behind Kannell that was getting ready to attack her. As her attack connects, he appears to everyone and Noodle takes his sword and finishes him off and throws Zephyr her knife back to her.
“That was fucking Magic Zephyr how did you know he was there?” Kannell asks her while taking a deep breath.
“I’ve always had great Perception since I’m part Wolf and Cat. I don’t have whiskers like my mom or my dad, but I have a sensitive face that picks up on movement. Ever since I lost my tail, my Face has gotten extra sensitive” She tells her.
“Oh, you mean like how when somone loses their sight gains better hearing. I get it” Kannell said Closing her hers to listen to the world around her.
“Well its funny you said that. Right now, I can hear 5 heart beats. When I heard 6, I knew something was wrong” Zephyr said as she wiped the blood off on her shirt.
“So, let me get this straight honey, by losing your Tail you became a Tactical Rader System, right?” Ryan asks her as he signals Kannell to lift up the Trailer.
“I don’t know what that means, but I’ve Always been great at perceiving hidden Threats. Like remember when we got locked out of the city that one night? My Face and ears picked up on those Shades” She told him.
“Yes, we talked about this, but it’s amazing your even more Sensitive now” He said as he crawled under the trailer and pulled out the last Spare Wheel that was bolted underneath the Frame. He drops it down and quickly pulls out the cotter pin on the broken wheel and removes it. He then puts this wheel on and reinserts the pin. Kannell then brings the Trailer down and collapse down on her back breathing heavily.
“I hate doing this alone! I miss Liz!” Kannell shouts as she punches the ground with the back of her fists. She then lays her head down in the dirt and takes a deep breath suffering a headache. She can feel the World Turning underneath her feet. She feels Dizzy and Noodle kneels down and kiss’s her on the lips. He then picks her up and puts her over his shoulders and walks into the cart. Ryan also helps Zephyr onto the Cart and they get rolling again before they get any more surprises. They haul ass for 2 miles out the other end of this 5-mile corridor. As soon as they exit to the other end everyone lets out a long-drawn Breath of Relief. They then Stop at a Cross Road sign.
“Welcome to The Kingdom of Eyefore!”
Jerkville: East 10 miles
Staug City: South East 30 miles
Hasslehassee: West 50 miles
Miseryland: West 100 miles
Tempo: South West 200 miles
Lauderdale: South East 240
Mia: South east 260 miles
“Okay looks like we are headed West” Ryan said as he looks to the left. He then pulls the reins they start swinging wide to the left. When they get on the road, He hands the Reins to Zephyr gives her a kiss on the cheek and puts on the song “La Grange” From ZZ Top. He then Crawls in the back and tells Greena to sit up front with her. He then takes a nap and recovers from his nightmare of being shot in the leg by an arrow. 5 hours later the sun went down and it was completely pitch-black outside. Zephyr still kept going and was listening to some of Ryan’s music. When Ryan fully awoke, he noticed Kannell and Noodle were laying on each other and sleeping. He notices Greena and Zephyr were talking about something. He then stretches his arms up and carefully steps over the bench ahead of him and then over into the main bench seat for the Driver. He sits between Greena and Her and Zephyr smiles at him. It was pitch black out but with her Night vision she could see just fine. In the horizon They saw the Town of Hasslehassee and decided to pull into it. When they Arrive at the main gates the Guards request to see what they were carrying and Ryan shows them the paperwork.
“Got a Place we can safely park this thing for the night?” Ryan asks the guards.
“We got a Supply Depot you can park it at” The guard said while signing the front page.
“Ahh your signing it, you must know whats up then” Ryan said to the Guard.
“Ya, were surprised you made it through the PvP zone with that slow piece of junk, but Miseryland needs those oranges. We got a Festival coming up in a couple days and King Joe himself has The Chefs On standby waiting for those Oranges” One of the guard’s told Ryan as he politely hands him back his paperwork.
“This wouldn’t be the same festival that’s coming down to Tourterra would it?” Ryan’s asks him.
“Yes, it would be, the great Food Festival Travels up and down the world every year and every Nation loves to show off their Spirit and Cuisine during it” He tells Ryan while pointing to the Supply Depot area.
“So dumb question you got a Lake with fish in it nearby?” Ryan asks them.
One of the guards points toward his lantern at the pond across the road and Ryan see’s this.
“Alrighty Thank you all very much” Ryan said while Yawning. He then takes the reins and slowly walks with the beasts inside the city. He then puts down the legs of the Trailer and unhooks the beasts. He leads them to the pond and let’s go and they all jump in all excited. Ryan then walks back inside the city and the guards stop him.
“Umm those things aren’t going to attack us, are they?” one of the Guards asks him in a scared tone.
“No man, they are quite playful. If they come up to you pet them like you would a Dog. They are semi Aquatic, so they sort of love the water. They been working all day so they should be getting some sleep soon. They wont attack you I promise you” Ryan said as he goes into the city.
“Alrighty, if they attack me, I’m going to attack back just know that” He tells Ryan in a concerned tone.
“Duly noted. Now where is the nearest Inn if I may ask?” Ryan asks the guard.
He then points to a Building in the horizon.
“Thanks dude” Ryan said as he walks over to the cart. Zephyr and Greena were out walking around and so were Kannell and Noodle.
“So, the Inn is that building right there” Ryan said while pointing to it.
“Alrighty, He I want to sleep outside tonight you all go and get a room” Greena said while yarning. She then climbs up top of the Demon core Crystals and lays down a blanket and a pillow.
“Keeping watch on the goods?” Ryan asks her.
“Yep. Plus, it’s pretty nice out tonight” She said while watching the Fireflies flicker in the distance.
“Alrighty Greena thanks for being Awesome” Ryan tells her as they walk away.
“Thanks for… having me on your team and not abandoning me” Greena replied back to him in a pessimestic tone.
“Your welcome” Ryan said as he walks away with the others.
When they all get into the Inn the French Female Inn Keeper named “Camille” charges them 20 gold for a room and gives them all a free glass of wine on the house. Zephyr politely refuses her glass of wine and Kannell takes it off her hands for her. They all have a Drink and then walk upstairs and finds 2 beds for each other. Kannell and Noodle take one bed and Ryan and Zephyr take the other one.
They then fall asleep and Ryan’s Phone goes off the next morning at 5am.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.

Who is friend or foe? *Please note: The first book was finished in around 2016, and is also the first story I wrote, I was new to writing at that time, so parts of it haven't aged as gracefully as I had hoped.

Une fille, ayant vécu l'enfer par deux fois, est devenue un paradoxe. Morte, mais vivante. Présente mais absente. Son existence même est remise en cause par le monde lui-même. 1 chap / semaine (le dimanche) au mieux. Je suis étudiant, donc il est possible qu'il n'y est pas de chapitre durant certaines semaines, bien que j'essayerais de faire des chapitres, même s'ils sont courts (peut-être un chapitre extra ?) Au sujet de la fiction, il y aura peut-être un harem, mais que des femmes ! Pourquoi ? Pourquoi pas. Je ne me sens juste pas à l'aise d'écrire sur un homme faisant l'amour à mon personnage. Et oui, il y aura des citrons, mais pas de suite. Aussi, le texte sera très cru. Si jamais, pour une quelconque raison, un des personnages voit un pénis, j'écrirais clairement que c'est un pénis. De même pour la femme.
