《New Escape》New Escape Chapter Twenty Six
Advertisement
I stare off into the ridiculous site before me, this is just a castle floating in space. 'Wait a second, shouldn't this be a vacuum?'
I look towards Esmir who seems to understand my confusion. "No need to worry, the area is surrounded by a magical barrier that acts as an artificial atmosphere, and within the workshop is a machine that refreshes the air."
"Oh that's incredible! What kind of place is Heaven's Workshop?"
"While I have never been in Heaven's Workshop I have been stuck guarding here for centuries, based off of the information I have gathered from the people trying to raid it I would say it is the most valuable location, sought after by many. Even though no one has been inside of the workshop, at least through this door, many people have heard rumors which have spread for a very long time."
"Do you know how much treasure is inside?" As expected Maddy is still stuck on the idea of treasure lying inside of this tower, this woman is a total treasure fiend.
"As I said I do not know whether there is treasure inside, as I have never been inside before, but based on the rumors there should be quite a few treasures." The serpent nods it's head seeming to recall something.
Maddy seems cheerful as we approach the walled tower, even I become enthusiastic to see what kind of treasures dwell within this tall tower. The closer we get to the tower the more massive it seems, it's height could not be fully appreciated from a distance, it can't even be appreciated here near the base.
"This is astounding, truly astounding." The size is comparable to that of a skyscraper, yet it's shape appears unsound. It looks as though it would topple over at any time like a jenga tower. Different portions of the tower extend from the side and and the center of gravity seems rather unstable.

Nearing the walls the gate opens automatically. The courtyard of the tower is well lit by glowing orbs of light hovering over small stone pedestals. Stone walk ways follow the walls and head towards the tower splitting the courtyard into four sections. between the walk ways are a number of plants, primarily a pale blue grass almost like snow. Surprisingly the scent of the courtyard is non-existent, I bend down and brush my hand through the grass. As my hand wafts through the grass white particles float through the air filling my nostrils with a scent of licorice.
"This place is most certainly peculiar." I nod my head as I mentally note down my observations. I quickly fall behind the rest of the group as they approach the tower doors. Speeding up I hastily catch up and push through the surprisingly light wooden doors. Initially blinded by the bright lights within the tower my eyes begin to focus. Books, tons and tons of books. This sight squashes either of the previous two libraries I previously witnessed. The circular walls lined with books up to unknown heights. The ceiling is so high it is impossible to see from here, there may not even be a ceiling. Various large stones lay stuck between the sand colored stone bricks, each stone with identical exquisite engravings. I question their function but before I can get a word out a similar stone embedded in the wall begins to glow.
"Welcome to the library of Heaven's Workshop. My name is Nez, I have been tasked as the Tower's librarian. If you have any questions please ask, any book you may seek can be found here, at minimum in the form of a copy." After fully forming Nez resembles no living creature, but rather a multitude of stones connected only through magical energy floating near each other in the form of a person.

"Greetings Nez, my name is Raven, I seek the location of the treasure." Maddy walks ahead of our large group seeking treasure.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, but as a librarian I can only access the information on the library, if you seek information on things other than books then the other floor guardians must be contacted."
"Oh that's alright, we are going to do some exploring, but I will return here later seeking your assistance." I jump in front of Maddy before she can complain and point towards a door that most likely leads to a staircase. Maddy sighs but moves to the door rather speedily. I reluctantly follow while staring back at the vast library.
"Ahhh I want- so many books- I need to read." I stammer out a few sentences before getting pulled along.
After a few brief steps we somehow arrive in the next section.
"Wasn't this second section at the minimum a hundred feet high? We have only been walking up a few feet yet we are somehow already here." I voice my confusion, but I am ignored by Maddy who is rushing to find treasure. She opens the door quickly, but a look of disappointment spreads across her face.
"What is it?" I ask her a question as she is blocking the way.
"It's just food." Maddy's tone is clearly depressed as there has not been even an ounce of treasure.
"Shouldn't that make you happy? What's wrong with food?"
"I want treasure!" The lack of treasure seems to be clearly taking a toll on her mental state.
"Don't worry, there will surely be treasure at a higher level." Rather than going into the room we continue up the winding staircase. "Look, here's another door." I push open the door, yet there is no treasure here either. This room is a large circular room with hallways jutting out of the room. Also along the wall are various doors so I go to open one.
"Bedrooms." Though it is a bedroom the room behind the door is closer to an apartment. From what I see there is a bathroom, a living room and an actual bedroom off to the side. It seems to lack a kitchen due to the fact that there is a commons area down a level.
"Let's continue, hopefully we will find treasure soon." I point up and we immediately leave the housing area.

A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World
Alice is a girl who loves science and lives on Earth. Then, suddenly, she was punted into another dimension. A dimension where magic and monsters roam the land, swords and sorcery reign supreme, and, for some reason, a System keeps dinging at her and telling her that her stats and levels are increasing. As someone who loves exploring mysteries, Alice is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. After all, everything has to have a ‘cause,’ including the System, right? What to expect: This story is going to be a LitRPG set in a fantasy world. However, unlike many LitRPG’s, the system has both a definite beginning and definite limits to what it is able to accomplish – rather than a singularly omnipotent, omniscient being that is tied to the laws of the world, the way systems are usually presented in LitRPG’s, the system is close to both, but has definite limits and rules which it operates by. This story is also relatively slow, since that is my writing style. The main character also begins the story as a young, 15-year old girl who has yet to finish high school, and is going to explore more of the world around her as she grows as a person and starts to get her feet under her. (Constructive Criticism is welcomed) (Cover made using Waifulabs) (Also posted on Scribblehub)

The nymphomaniac inter-dimensional assassin for hire, also known as Olethea Sykoria in most worlds, is on an endless quest to discover the highest form of pleasure, which generally means getting it on with anyone and anything that can give it to her. She has a steep fee and only takes jobs she finds interesting, but when she boasts a 100% success rate, her customers never have reason to complain.Cynicism. Cheek. And a serious personality streak. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect sassy girl. But Meakashi added an extra ingredient to the concoction... Meta Knowledge. Thus, the Avenger Doll was born! With her fourth-wall breaking, Ootsuki Senka has had her life dedicated to becoming the straight girl in this dimension-traveling duo. The only reason she is going along with Olethea's antics is that the author forces her to do so, but maybe she will develop a deeper connection to her new partner. Follow the inter-dimensional misadventures of a resourceful but sex-addicted elf, and a cynical, sassy genre-savvy cursed doll, as they carve their names into the legends of the multiverse - as troublemakers and a menace to society.

Whatever the case, the one guarantee is that there will be plenty of cynicism, killing, sex, and breaking the fourth wall. _________________________________ This is a side-project to my main story Maou Shoujo Magical Chaos and is basically a spinoff to it, featuring a character from its supporting cast as one of the two protagonists.
