《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 5, Part 1 - The Dark Side Of War
Advertisement
Previously on Escape The Night, an evil wizard and his wolves payed the guests a visit. Jesse Wellens assisted them from beyond the grave. Stacy and Thomas were chosen for the challenge, and Stacy was killed by the wolves, freeing Jesse from the house.
"The next lieutenant is an evil knight who has served the forces of evil in many wars. She is a fearsome warrior who will stop at nothing to win a battle. She must be avoided if you know what's good for you," Lizzie shut the notebook.
"Well, that's good, isn't it," Dan said.
This notebook says we need to avoid this lieutenant at all costs. What if we are trying to take her down? Any hints for that?
"We don't know how to take her down," Lauren said.
"It would appear not," Willow said. Suddenly, the door swung open, and someone wearing a suit of dark armour walked in, carrying a black sword about half the size of them in their left hand.
"Well, I can tell you," she took her helmet off, "I am the next lieutenant, but I am still a knight. I will be chivalrous. You must defeat two knights in a sword fight in order to defeat me. I am not one of them, but if they lose, I lose power. Two will be selected, however, you will not be voting for who partakes the challenge."
"Then how do we choose who does the challenge?" Joey asked.
"Oh, I will," the knight dropped something and charged towards the guests as they all scrambled away. She managed to grab someone.
"Guys! Help me!" Rosanna cried as the knight dragged her away.
"No!" Joey shouted as her screams for help grew fainter.
"We need to help her," Joey said.

"Where is she being taken?" Phil asked the room.
"I don't know, but the knight did drop this," Willow walked behind the sofa and grabbed a letter.
"How did you notice that?" Tiffany asked.
"I pay attention to the little things," Willow said. She opened the letter.
My liege,
I thank you for bringing the guests to me, however, I am a little upset I can only kill one. I will take them to the training arena outside, and capture as many as you wish.
"Is that it?" Sean asked.
"Yeah. At least we know where Rosanna was taken," Willow said.
"But how many people does this spirit want? She said only two people have to compete in the challenge, why does it seem like he wants more?" Mark asked.
"I don't know, and I'm not sure if I want to," Willow replied.
"Well, should we try and save Ro?" Dan asked.
"We can try," Thomas said.
Something tells me that we won't be able to save Ro, but I don't think she is automatically going into the challenge.
"We can show you where this arena is if you want," Alex said. The group agreed to this, very vocally. Alex and Lauren lead the guests out to find Rosanna.
I really hope Ro is ok. We just made an alliance with her, so I'm praying that she is still alive.
Soon, the guests found the battle arena, and Ro and the knight weren't far in front of them.
"Don't say anything," Alex whispered, "the last thing we need is everyone getting captured."
The group reluctantly stayed silent and watched as Rosanna was dragged into the battle arena. However, Willow noticed that the knight dropped a note. Willow sprinted towards it and sprinted back, only slightly out of breath.

"How did you see that?" Phil asked.
"I pay attention to the little things," Willow said. She opened the note.
I have left the sword in the armoury as per your request. It is with all the other weapons, and is difficult to distinguish, but I have left instructions on how to find it there. Only that sword can defeat me.
"Bit convenient that she dropped that," Willow said.
"Do you guys know where the armoury is?" Lilly asked.
"Yes, we'll take you there," Lauren said. The group left to find the armoury.

To Play With Magic

Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

The Dungeon of Evolution
The greatest mage and researcher in the universe, Ian Irwin, known to only his closest friends died at far too young an age. For their own goals and to give the mage another chance at life, the Gods and Goddesses reincarnated him into a dungeon. Most would shudder at the thought, in fact Ian did, but not for the same reasons. The plants, animals, fungi, and monsters that inhabited dungeons fascinated Ian in a way nothing besides his wife had. Ian had studied everything he could about dungeons and now he could be one. Traumatising Content: Besides the purpose of dungeons, the presenting of evil morals as a positive is not present in this novel. Evil morals themselves, however, are present. Combined with the gore tag, there will be imagery present that could be considered traumatising. The absence of the sexual content tag means there will be no scenes of that nature. I, the author, apologize to any previous readers that, due to my previous clarification, read the story with the belief that scenes of disturbing imagery would not be present.

I have yet to rewrite the beginning chapters and I am aware that they aren't really good. Still I hope you can read past the book 1 so you can enjoy the book just like many others who wait for it.Edit 2 # - This is an initial draft and sooner or later, I will definitely rewrite it all into an authentic book.Thank you, Gsd reddy.
