《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》Revival Factory (Ch. 27)

He now had nothing to do except waiting in anxiety for the machine to work. Corner of his eye fell on the door which he had not closed. He flew to shut it but felt resistance from the other side.
Reaper's handle was blocking it from being closed. He tried to pull it towards him but there was another force stopping him from doing so. He spotted Grief's hand holding axe's other end.
It was like tug of war with reaper for a short time. Boone let it go and heard Grief crash on the other side. Then he locked the door while Grief was regrouping his strength.
Grief then broke the door as soon as he got on his feet.
What he saw after intruding in was Boone, who was ready to put the letter, with his name, inside the machine.
After centuries, Grief felt what being scared was like.
"No!" Grief pleaded, "Please don’t put it there. I – I have your son. He is not dead."
Boone got ready to drop letter inside the machine.
"Don’t do it. Otherwise I will kill your son." Grief threatened.
He threw the letter inside the noisy machine. Machine swallowed the letter and Grief disappeared in thin air. Boone knelt on the floor with the feeling of safety. He wanted to lie on the floor and watch the ceiling for the entire night.
Door opened with a wham.
Old Ghost was in there. He looked beat up and hurt. Most of all, he was bleeding.
"You are not a ghost?" Boone stood up.
He realized what the matter was when Old Ghost's eyes glowed like Woman in Blue's.
He was alive. Woman in Blue is in his body. He took longer time to process the happening. Old Ghost stretched his arm and got hold of the reaper.

Unable to think of anything, Boone picked a letter from the tray, "Don’t even think about it."
"Don’t try to trick me, Boone. You don’t even know my name." she said and threw her axe toward his direction.
Boone ducked and saved himself from the disaster.
Missing him, reaper axe flew towards the machine then collided with it in full impact. He had expected the dumb machine to let out steam till it began to make siren noise. The noise was sharp enough to penetrate into brain through ears.
Axe flew back to her hands after falling on the floor.
When she was about to hit Boone with it then a net shot out from the exhaust pipe of Revival Machine. The net fell on her, trapping her in the process.
All hail Crowman. Boone fistbumped the air. Crowman not only had added another door but also had made the machine catch the person who tried to do trick it.
She was struggling to get out from there, with the axe out of her reach.
Boone held it and lifted it high in the air. The reaper vanished when he was swinging it down.
Woman laughed through the net, trying to free herself, "I own it. My axe can't hurt me."

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
