Chapter 5: Lost in Bliss
Demonic ritual
The demon stood in the ritual circle for a whole five minutes wondering if he did the suicide ritual correctly. Just as he was about to take a peek, he felt his life draining away at a breathtaking speed. His eyes opened as his body shriveled up, and crumbled to dust.
After a while the ritual circle started to glow once more, a small fist sized rock appeared almost floating an inch above the ground. After all the light faded from the circle the rock fell to the ground.
Sometime later
A light knock on the door*
Silence*
Some more knocking*
Silence*
Hard knocking on door*
Silence*
The sound of feet walking away...
Sometime later...
Footsteps returning*
Swoosh* Thunk* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk* Crunch* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk*.....
After an hour the large door fell into the room... A small girl in a maids outfit could be seen sweating and breathing hard while holding double bladed axe in her hands.
She weakly yelled, "You fucking... piece... of... TRASH!!.., how dare you not...?!" She sees desk covered in summoning ritual books, enters the room and looks around. "What has that idiotic fool bee...n...?!" She steps on something and slips and falls on her butt, kicking up dust everywhere... After rubbing her aching butt a bit she glanced at what she stepped on.... it was a small pile of dust. As she was about to gulp she noticed what was left of the ritual circle... * * * choking* gagging* spit* cough*....
After thoroughly spitting and coughing for a bit, she gets up and dusts herself off before leaving the room.
Sometime later*
She returns with a mop, a broom, a duster and a bucket.
Cleaning noise*
Spud of someone tripping*
"Agh. What the... ? Why is there a.... Oh god the floor!!!!!"

Time passes.
The room is clean of all the dust (corpse) which was collected in the bucket. But the ritual circle and the rock were left alone on the ruined floor. "I guess I better report to the master that the weak link is gone, but what to do with that bloody heavy rock?" She is just about to walk off to inform her master, but was surprised to find her master right behind her. "Greetings master..." Bows
The master walks by the maid and says, "leave, but leave the bucket as well."
"Understood master."
After the maid had left, the master was done examining the object pf intrigue. AKA the floor and the cause of the floors distressed state. AKA the rock. "So desperate to become something your not... Sigh.... If only the fool had... Oh what am I saying he died trying to become something more... Than he was"
"But before I send for the crafting guild I guess I better get rid of the rock" reaches down and makes an attempt to remove the hindrance... Argh... Gahhh.... Urgh... 'What is this freaking thing made of?! Sigh.... I better pay the dwarves a visit ^.^ I can have'm fix my floor for cheaper if they like what they find?!' (Dwarve'n labor is typically more expensive then highering the crafting guild, but on rare occasions when they find an object of value on the work site they might except it as payment instead.)
The master walks out of the room.
{.............................}
In the darkness...
Where am I?
I know something is off but...
Sigh... I guess I better go look and see what's going on... Hopefully no more light is falling.
[closes the port for releasing the light and slowly lets the walls of darkness thin out enough to see?!]
Atleast it ain't rocky landscape. But... Yawn* I guess I'll rest until I have enough energy to move.
[goes to sleep while the light gathers once more]

Damsel of Distress
Victoria Bright is a Wife. No, she isn't married. "Wife" is the Class the system gave her. She has to fight Demons to get stronger? Then she will become the strongest Wife of all! She can only learn Fashion and Household Skills? No one said you can't fight in High-heels! The gods made her best friend a Hero? First, she has to beat some sense into him for betraying his own beliefs. Accompany her as she survives in a dangerous world, a world that has secrets even the gods don't know about. __________________________________________ Warning!!The second half of "The Wave 07: The System" and the first half of "The Wave 08: Heroes and Knights" contain a lot of exposition that most other stories would consider "secrets of the world" that those stories would uncover over the course of a long time. There are two reasons this is revealed so early and directly. One: Not revealing that information quickly and not asking questions about it would be completely OoC for the characters involved in that scene. Two: It's information you, the reader, need to know before the main story can really get started. Namely, the "secrets not even the gods know about".

The Far Away Dream
The possessor priesthood drew the perfect bodies. They pulled them from pictures and brought them to life. One of them drew his vision of the perfect world. A world where only beauty bodies and good feelings are allowed to exist. However, his plans to take the souls needed to fuel this insanity failed and the priesthood's existence became a myth. Now the world and cultures of Neolys must face their ancient past. A story of suffering, the intimacy it creates, and the will to fight against those who try to redraw the place you call home. The many characters in Neolys must unite and struggle against The Far Away Dream. Is a world of suffering worth fighting for? Is it insanity to fight for what hurts you? (I am in the process of rewriting/refurbishing this long story from one I wrote long ago and saved on my computer, into first person. I abandoned it many years ago. It will take time to figure everything out again and make the right changes. The Prologue/first chapter is supposed to be in third person)

Lost in a Dream
Published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If dreaming is a drug, then I'm a junkie. For most people, sleeping is an obstacle. Something to get out of the way, so they can get back to their life. For others, it's an escape to nothing, a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream; I work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world. My real world. After all, what is reality if not the place where dreams don't come true? Can you fight a dragon on your way home from work, or conquer a foreign land to save an oppressed people from their malevolent overlords after vacuuming the living room? Can you visit a land where mountains look like freshly baked phyllo dough, or live in a castle bigger than my apartment complex? Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a mundane life. A birthing place for grander ideas we wish could materialize. I choose to live in a world where they do.
