《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 28: The Treasure of the Adventure King
Advertisement
Yasu would keep her eyes shut the whole way through. Even when she felt her feet planted against something, she just kept her eyes shut.
'This feels like…'
"Tap tap tap." She would stomp the tip of her boot to the stone ground. When she finally opened her eyes. The White Reaper was playfully waving his hand at her as if he was saying "Hello."
"Wait, is this?" She looks around and stops speaking. The room she was in was vaguely familiar to the one she just jumped from. With the exceptions of Ann not being with her and the door they came from had something shimmering almost trance-like from the flame light of the White Reaper's coat.
The White Reaper would jump through the wall of darkness and one minute passed where it was all silent. It abruptly ends when he comes back with Ann held over his shoulder. Ann was screaming at the top of her lungs and Yasu had to quickly lean over to her and covers her mouth just to save her ears from the mayhem.
"AHHHHHHHHH-" Ann would continue to scream into Yasu's hand, but then stopped and notices that it was her that hushed her.
"Yasu!?" She says, words muttered by her hand.
"Yeesh Ann, if you keep screaming like that, you'll end up making the whole place fall on us. And then we would really be dead." She would say so playfully and with a smile. Ann would continue to look at her in shock. She then starts look around where she was. She couldn't believe like Yasuline when she first passed through. Just as she did, both them and the White Reaper sees the wall of darkness suddenly began to fade away. Although, fading away would be a strange term. The way it faded was that the light in the room would replace bit by bit, the intense black of the wall and soon, they all would be able to see through to the other side.

"Wow, I guess we passed the trial." Yasuline would quietly say as she looks at the other side they were just in. Looking down, She would finally see the gap that the wall would be hiding. It looked to be about as tall as her. Or more than her. If she was as good as a measuring as everyone else, she would be able to confirm that the gap was about 13 feet. Looking at the end where the walls were, she could see etches of the floor that looked just wide enough for them to shimmy across.
"Well, least we don't have to jump anymore. I'm not sure I can handle being treated like luggage from such a rude man." Ann would playfully comment as she shares a glare over to the White Reaper. He didn't seem to care much as he was staring at the doorway that had the supposed reward for their bravery.
Ann noticed what could be up ahead of them and begins to lead the trio toward it. Walking near enough, their expectations were diminished. The treasure they envisioned in their heads was minor compared to what was in the next room. Dozens and dozens of piles of gold and glittering goods. chests that were forced open with the loot sticking out of the mouth. A rather gaudy fountain that had liquid gold pouring out and making a mess of itself in the pool. The liquid gold itself lit due to the intense heat, but it was what replaced the old-fashioned torches that were used until now. Sitting in the very middle of the chamber was a staircase that had a single chest closed and had a special spotlight on it. Yasuline was extremely interested in that particular one, but her attention was drawn away from it from the sound of something crashing. It was Ann who took her backpack off and held it upside down to let everything inside it drop off.

"Ohmigosh omigosh omigosh." She would chant repeatedly over and over as she ensures that her bag was empty. She dashes to the nearest gold pile to her and began to scoop the large coins that had a gold outing and platinum center. From what Yasuline remember, Those were the rarest kinds of coins in Atlas. Jewels, coins, and small gold trinkets would be collected by the giddy girl. "Oh, this one is going to buy grandmama her new teeth. This one is going to get my sisters to that magic school for the whole. This will pay for the rent for my new shopping booth spot."
Ann would continue to list off the various things she intends to pay off and then the listing deteriorates to a shopping list of necessities for her business. Yasu stopped listening at this point as she was now at the top of the stairs and looking at the chest in front of her. It was a gold plated with a unique metal for the bindings that common metal would usually be at in the common wooden chests. The chest didn't have a lock, it just took a pull on the lock mechanism and she would be able to lift the top open. At first, she was confused as the chest was partly empty except for a single sword in its scabbard and a rolled-up scroll.
"This must be a special sword." She whispered to herself as she sticks half her body inside the chest to reach down inside it to pull it out. The weapon wasn't particularly heavy, not compared to the training sword she keeps in her room. The scabbard wasn't decorated all fancy like the chest, but it had strange markings on it and some numbers on it. The markings were worn out, so she wasn't able to see what the numbers were except for the name. "Prototype. Weird name for a sword." Unsheathing it, the sword was much more impressive than the scabbard. The blade was gold, but with a shimmer of blue would be shown on it when holding it at the right angle of the low light. It was much clearer once the White Reaper stood by her side and shared his stronger light source with her. She holds it in the air for a brief, almost able to see herself standing there in a third-person view. She finally felt like a real adventurer after eighteen years.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
