《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》Bk 2 - Chapter 05: Gru
Advertisement
The Second Deck, and specifically, Venezia City was odd. Unfortunately, the Arc Guild did not involve itself with investments beyond adventuring and their public loot shop. Captain Gru was waiting for Jen, Sam, and Tamako after they accessed their funds and collected their share of the loot from the ambush. Fortunately, their share of the loot included several storage devices, and they did not have to go through the motions of pretending to buy storage rings before collecting the entirety of their loot.
Captain Gru asked them, “Any idea where you might stay in the City?”
Jen smiled and replied, “Not yet. Any suggestions?”
Captain Gru turned to walk with them and said, “It’s the least I can do. Head over to the shop and get a technique map of all of Venezia City, including the gnome, dwarf, and elf zones.”
Sam texted Jen, “I can't wait to meet them!”
Captain Gru continued, “If you are looking for an inn to stay in for just a few nights, check out the Raven’s Inn. If you are looking for a more permanent place to stay, head to the Stone Guild’s Public Shop and ask for Bruce. He handles their real estate holdings. I would suggest you stay in the human zone unless you hire a guide to take you into one of the other zones. Also, Lt. Rowe and I often head over to the City arena for battle training. Here are our sound wave contacts. We would love to have you join us once you get settled in.”
Jen thanked Captain Gru, but asked one last question before they left. “Do you know where we could find a healer or potion for a damaged mana system? My father overextended his power in the ambush last night, and it severely compromised his ability to use mana.”

Captain Gru cringed when he heard about Sam’s mana system, and said, “I’m not sure what you heard on the First Deck, but I think you would have to go to the Third, and more likely the Fourth Deck to find a healer with that level of ability. I can ask around confidentially if you like?”
Jen could sense the sincerity in Captain Gru’s offer of help, and replied, “Thank you, that would be very helpful.”

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
