《The Tale Of Lloyd Garmadon》17
Advertisement
"Floyd"
"My name is Lloyd."
"Whatever, freeze over the lava so we can search for the Fang Blade."
"Yeah sure, I can do that." Lloyd shrugged, using his powers to freeze the lava. "Why do we need the Fang Blades again? They just look like knives to me."
"I've told you, they're the key to obtaining a weapon to use against those who've wronged.... You." Pythor explained as Serpentine dug for the blade.
"They might wanna dig a little faster, I dunno how long the ice'll hold up against the heat of the lava." Lloyd muttered, tapping his fingers against his thumb, trying to regain feeling in his fingertips. Soon enough the serpentine dug up the Fang Blade, and Pythor realized the Ninja were there, leading to the snake making a moment's choice. To betray Lloyd as the ice the boy had created melted, Pythor hit Lloyd with his tail, knocking Lloyd down onto a ledge. "Hey!"
"Apologies Lloyd, but I need a distraction, you don't mind, do you?" Pythor laughed as he escaped. "This was never about getting your revenge anyway Boy."
The ninja, and Garmadon, just barely made it off the bounty before it crashed into the forest below. Upon landing they immediately made their way away from the wreckage, knowing the Sons of Garmadon would be looking there for Lloyd. "How's he doing?" Nya asked Kai as the group walked. Lloyd remained unconscious, so Kai carried him.
"Still out," Kai answered, a worried tone in his voice. "Once we get far enough away, we'll have to make camp so Zane can check on him." Lloyd moved a little, a small twitch of his arm, and grimace appearing on his face for a moment. "Zane, do you think we're safe to stop for a little?"

"For a short while, but not for more then an hour." Zane replied after a moment.
"Fuck." Lloyd mumbled as he climbed up from the ledge he was trapped on, the hot stone of the volcano burning his fingers, at least he could feel them again. He pulled himself up and sat for a moment.
"Kai! Be careful!" He heard one of the ninja, his name might've been Jay, Lloyd couldn't remember, all he could tell was that the red one was coming towards him.
"Are you all-" Kai began, stopping when Lloyd held up lightning, threatening silently to throw it at him. "We're not here to hurt you."
Out of the corner of his eye, Lloyd saw Pythor headed for the exit of the volcano, and chucked the lighting at him, making the snake drop the gang blade. "You brat!" Pythor yelled as the exit was sealed by falling rocks. "You've trapped us all!"
"I die, you die asshole!" Lloyd yelled to him, more lightning buzzing in his hand, it hurt, he knew what the results of using his powers was, he'd had them for months now.
Fire caused burns in the palms of his hands that continued to be burned time and time again before they could heal.
Ice froze his fingers, sometimes to the point where he couldn't move them.
Lightning left marks he knew would eventually scar.
He didn't know what earth would cause yet, he had only used it once.
"He seems to have blacked out because of overuse from his powers. No doubt that dragon he summoned was an accident that drained him to exhaustion." Zane explained, "Though, while checked him over to insure he was alright, I noticed similar scars on his hands and arms to those on Jay, Kai, and Cole's." He gently lifted Lloyd's arm to show the others. "Burn scars, zigzagging scars from lightning, and scars from normal everyday injuries."

"What about his fingertips?" Jay questioned.
Zane, lifted Lloyd's hand a little more. "The remains of frostbite, no doubt from how often he used the ice element of his powers. I assume that if I were human, my hands would have the same scars." Zane set Lloyd's arm back down, "On a lighter note, he should wake up in a few hours. But we need to keep moving, so, Kai, if you'd please carry him so we can go."

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep!
