《Lazy Ash》43.My Drink, Warehouse, and Whoops
Advertisement
Been neglecting GW this week so this might be the last chapter for this week. I really need to write another one for GW because I think this one makes either 4-5 this week(Dont feel like checking) for LA.
=======================
Ash
I still haven't gotten my Whiskey. After talking with the girls for last hour I finally managed to convince them of my intentions. Which sucks because in this time we could have gone to a safe place, waited for the fucking event, and then bailed. But nooooo! I had to have to deal with yet another set of difficult women!
I did learn a few things though. The reason Mery (The first Twin I met) was so much faster than me is because while she may not be a god yet that doesn't stop here from having powers of her own. My eyesight is good but she can Shadow Port as she calls it. During the split second the lights in the bar changed with the music she ported to me with her dagger ready.
It seems the girls are the ladies of Night and Day. At night Mery's power is doubled and during the day Raye's is. Despite not being gods yet they already know what they will be gods of. As an added bonus they said they still have part of their fathers powers. Which if they are anything like I felt during that brief moment with War makes these two scary as hell.
The reason no one saw anything when they had weapons on me is due to Mery using her abilities with illusions to make people see something different. Her skill with illusions is how she saw through mine and knew I was a kitsune. Sometimes I think I will be killed by a woman someday.
"So why don't we try to stop this event? If we do so all these people don't have to die." They asked. My pleas for not twin speaking have gone unheard. I also think they are doing it on purpose now just to fuck with me as I swear I see a smile everytime I wince.
"Like I said we can't. Hell, I am supposed to be "one who is outside of fate" and I can't even escape it. It's a fixed event something that has to come to pass."
"And we suppose you heard all this from her."There it is they totally fucking smiled this time!
"Her and Chronos. The little prick " I mumbled the last part.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
They both raised an eye.
"Well we don't trust him and especially not her so we are at least going to try and you are going to help!" They decided.
"Hey whoa whoa this isn't going to work all I am supposed to do is make sure you two come out of this alive, not go and let you get yourselves killed, and hell no you are not commanding me I take that shit enough from my mother I sure as hell am not taking it from two girls I just met!"

They glared at me but I glared right back. I mean fuck this I do not do overtime! And where the fuck is my drink!
"Quite the interesting conversation you guys are having here. I unfortunately wasn't able to hear everything but you wish to stop the people from acting yes." At that moment Nickolai emerged next us.
The girls jumped and pulled their weapons. I just sighed. That ability is op as fuck.
After a quick staredown Nickolai ordered a bourbon and just smiled at the girls. I noticed his wrist was bandaged.
The girls got a hold of themselves and poured his drink.
...........
"HEY!"
They all looked at me in confusion.
"Where is my drink!?"
They ignored me and went right into talking. At this point Penny isn't the world worst waitress.
"So can we actually help?" They asked him. I saw him wince just slightly but he covered it up quickly.
Ah a fellow brother in pain.
To their question he nodded then spoke."Yes we have the location of the Cult of the Abyss. If you two have powers like this boy than your country would like to ask for you help in dealing with these people."
"Oh you are actually asking us?" They replied.
He gave an embarrassed cough."You two have a reputation of sort. I would rather keep my limbs thank you."
The girls gave off a smile that wasn't a smile. I shivered a little.
"Then we accept but be warned we will not be controlled." Both of their eyes glowed toward the end there.
He flinched back and gritted his teeth. It seems asking for help from two girls is taking its toll on him and the way they treating him is not helping. Must not be used to being told what is what by woman.
Ha! wait another 20 years bub they get worse. I laughed internally at what is to come for the poor men of the world who still naively believed men rule.
Trying and failing to hide his mood Nickolai nodded and motioned for us to follow him. I didn't move.
As I was watching the leave all I could think was. I still haven't gotten my drink! You know what fuck this!
I stole a bottle of whiskey and opened it. If it comes down to it I can just tell Rhea I tried. If they want to go and do something stupid I am going to sit here and get drunk for free. Ash don't pay for shitty service.
As I was pouring a glass I felt someone tug the back of my collar.
"You are supposed to guard us yes? So you will come as well." I hear the voices of the twins.
"Ah hell no! I do not do extra shit this is not what I signed up for."
"But if it works that means far less work."They said.
..............................
Damn they found my weakness.
As they were dragging me out I look at the glass I poured in sadness.

"I never got my drink."
"Did you say something?" They ask.
I didn't answer the terrible waitresses.
In any case we were brought to a jeep and got in.
"Ok the cult is in a warehouse out by the reactor. They have a couple of magic users and at least two super so we are going to have to take them down first." Nickolai talked to us as we drove.
I decided to tune him out as any noteworthy super of this time shouldn't be my match besides like 7 others that shouldn't be on this continent.
It took us about an hour and we were starting to get dangerously close to the time.
Being even deeper in the damn place this close to the time limit is really stretching on my nerves.
"This better work or we are sooo fucked." I mutter as we get out of the jeep.
"Why are you so negative about this?"The girls asked.
"Gee I don't know maybe because I am from the future and told you whats about to happen and you two still decided to come to what might be ground motherfucking zero!"
"Now no one likes a smart ass."They replied.
"Ok every part of me is intelligent. Except my penis. He doesn't think things through sometimes."
They rolled their eyes at that.
I took a look at the warehouse. It was a simple one with a cone shape to it and a big metal sliding door in front of it. In front of the door were 3 dead cultists. The were all bald with tattoos covering their head and face. All they wore were black robes.
Each had a bullet lodged in their heads.
I tried to scan the warehouse but it seems someone set up some kind of protection because none of my visions could get through.
"Whatever I am already pissed off I don't know what your plan is but I am just going to botch it and charge in the sooner we get this over with the better I want to get somewhere safe." With that I brought myself up to max and blasted a hole in the door of the warehouse with devouring flames.
After that I went full speed and through the hole. There was a couple of people screaming and trying to put of devouring flames on their bodies but I wrote them off. I sped past a bunch of old equipment and went in deeper. Any cultist I came across I throat punched and moved on. They were sure to suffocate to death with a crushed throat.
About halfway in I came to a stairway that led down. The guard must of heard something and had their weapons already up when I arrived but unfortunately for them I am just too damn fast at the moment. After a couple more punches I head down the stairs and come to a door that has a bald man with sunglasses guarding it.
Figuring he was just another cultist I threw a punch but much to my surprise he moved to the side and threw over a few thousand punches to my stomach and chest. He followed up with a kick that sent me flying back.
Fuck a speedster and a class one at that.
I coughed up a little blood. I turn and see the man cracking his knuckles. Wiping my mouth I start to take with a bit more seriousness.
"Not bad dog of the army. But you who follows your country shall bow before our god soon. But before then I shall play with you." He says in Russian.
Overconfident ass. I send a wave of black flames at him. The flames cover the entire stairway so there was no way to escape. But then all of a sudden the flames were being blown back toward me and a huge gust of wind followed. The man was just standing there with a bored look.
Ok didn't see that coming. Lets try option B. I went and grabbed my ice element that I have been neglecting. Using as much power as I could I sent a mini blizzard toward the man. I saw him let out a look of surprise but it was quickly replaced with a look of disdain. He just whirled his hands at high speeds and yet again my own attack was blasted back at me.
"Is that the best you have?"He taunted.
Ok now I am a little pissed.
I poured all my holy power into speed and used my lighting to its fullest and charged the fucker. Surprise flickered on his face the second before I slammed him through the door and into a magical circle.
I burst into the room and a man and woman cultist turned to me.
"What have you done! You offered up a sacrifice before we were ready we can no longer control the portal!" The man screamed.
All of a sudden the magic circle turns into a liquid black. A huge shockwave of energy comes out and I throw up a shield the cultist weren't as lucky in the room there were 15 cultists and for some reason a puppy in a cage. In the next moment there was 15 dead bodies and a puppy in a cage.
"WE ARE FREE!"
I hear a loud yell mixed with thousands of different voices. Then the portal starts letting out a black mist. When the mist reaches a body it starts to shake like a really bad seizure then it starts to mutate. The arm explodes and out pops a arm like a spike in the middle and around it are several other protrusions. the body then looks up at me.
"FOOD!"
I stare at this and all I can think is."Whoops."

Forgot to put this here but thanks to Hyoudou you know why.

Method Of Loci
Have you ever wondered how a blind person sees? Not their surroundings but in their mind, the place most sacred to anyone. Where they keep memories, ideas, dreams, fears, nightmares and where they let their imagination roam free. We with sight, see things in still photos or moving pictures from memories, or other references that we see everyday. Framing our mind into something that's usually the same as most of the population, something conformed. We see the same colors the same movements, the same designs. We may all think differently but we all see the same, both on the outside and the inside. Not Eliot because he was born blind, never seen a thing in his whole life, that is until the satellites appeared giving him vision and the whole world new possibilities. *** Apocalyptic setting. Game-like elements. Atleast two chapter a week

Manifesto
Sometimes, even the most outright affront to liberty seems to be justified under certain contexts. Or maybe I should stop reading about Stalin, I think it's affecting me.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Midori
The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. The world, however, is far from the ideals of such a mantra. Complacency is the enemy of progress, yet to the four known nations, each one sees enemies around their borders. An example: A village isolated from the nation of Alkai prevents the lives of many from progressing. It’ll take a society, a group, even a whipped together rag-tag team to jump start the quest for progress. An escape from a motionless home—in order to search for a greater future, Mira approaches her blade in a new light. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
