《Tales of the Underground - The Game》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Like the others, Emilia Frye had escaped into one of the corridors. She had killed her light and remained as still as possible, while listening. Indeed there were sounds of unclear origin, far away.
But there was something else, somewhere near her. The muffled sound of something knocking against wood. Carefully Frye made a few steps into the direction from where she presumed the origin of that noise came. The sounds where getting louder and now she clearly heard how something or rather someone was knocking against the inside of one of the boxes.
"Hello?", she whispered. "Who's there?"
No answer. Maybe she was too far away. Perhaps the hammering was too loud. The person inside the medium sized box kept banging against it, trying to escape. Frye kneeled down next to the box and examined it. The lid was secured with a lock, but the
metal reinforcements looked worn out. Carefully she dug her fingers into the gap between box and lid. Then, in the same rhythm as the prisoner, she started pulling. The person inside seemed to have noticed her, because now he or she used more force.
Suddenly, with a loud noise, the lid sprang open and Anna Crissly fell out.
"Anna! What happened to you?", Frye whispered.
"I don't know. I just woke up in there. Are we dead?"
"Not yet. Let's go, we have to hide somewhere."
With as little light as possible, the two women followed another labyrinth, without any clear goal. But then by chance or fate they suddenly found themselves in front of another stuffed corpse, holding a key.
"Anna, watch your back. We don't want you to get kidnapped again."
"I don't see anything. Can we turn the light on?"
"No." Frye grabbed the key and turned to Crissly. "Let's get out of here."
Anna looked at her with a strange expression on her face. Then her eyes wandered to something behind Frye.
"Did...did that body just move?"

The Magic Swordsman
Clearing the most difficult mode of an RPG game called ?The Invasion Of The Demon King?, Hiro Miyagawa unlocked a new difficulty, the ?Hardcore Mode?. Pressing the "Yes" Button, a sudden white light flashed on the screen of the TV, forcing him to close his eyes. Due to the lack of sleep from playing the game three days in a row, Hiro fell asleep and reincarnated into Theo Regnard the moment he woke up. As the support character of the game ?The Invasion Of The Demon King?, Theo Regnard was destined to die at the beginning of the game. Refusing this kind of fate happening to him, he resolved himself to become stronger and walk into an unknown road instead of choosing the supposed "Good Ending". This is the story of a man who was cursed by the demon god, a story of a fallen prince who has chosen the path filled with blood and revenge, a story of a support character who became the main character, a story of the man called Theo Regnard. Author Note This is a slow-paced story and the first book that I'm writing. I hope that those who are interested in that book can find the enjoyment they were looking for.

House of Gates
Lucia and Florencia, two halves of an empire, split down the center in a war that has raged for centuries. In the recent decades of the hostilities, the two sides have been particularly egregious towards one another. With the Battle of the Dead Emperors, the rulers and their immediate heirs on both sides of the conflict have been killed, leaving Lucia and Florencia with rulers not expected to be within the immediate line of succession. Together, Empress Caelestinius of Lucia and Albion Justin of Florencia have met in secret to discuss a plan to end the war once and for all. Nothing is certain as a plan to force the respective nobilities together to resolve their differences is enacted in the form of a trap. The houses will unite in marriage—or they will drown in blood. Maximilian Silvanus, lord of Lucia, is one such man of the nobility. He has fought and bled for Lucia. He has endured the childish taunts of his nemesis, Lady Gabriela Farreli on the field of defeat on several occasions. And now he must end hostilities? A letter from the Empress reaches him, commanding that he do so in order for him to make all due hast with the rest of his noble countrymen for the ancient and mysterious House of Gates. Max does not believe the ‘parley’ with the Florencians will go well. And if he sees Lady Farreli at the House of Gates? Why, he may just snap her neck before running her through.
