《Judah Judas Adventures》Chapter 25 - Getting along
Advertisement
On the next day, Fiona, Big Gus, and Emily arrived at the place we have to stay one week and to keep watch if an enemy comes there or even worse, a civilian who got lost. When all three of us arrived at the base, we have seen something kinda unique because the place we are going to stay is not a house that could fall at any second. The place we are going to stay is something called bunker if I have to take Emily's words. When we entered the bunker, we have seen there six beds, a few boxes with supplies, and even some weapons that are putting in an open cabinet, which contains a few words, staff, and even a bow with eighteen arrows. We entered the bunker and everyone has taken their bed, Fiona took the first bed, the one who is much closer to the door, Big Gus has taken the fourth bed, Emily has taken the third bed and I have taken the second bed.
When I put my things into a bed, I say to everyone from here.
"I am sorry for what I did."
"Don't worry, Judah," says Fiona. "It could happen to anyone, you know?"
"I know. But it was my fault I left you. A squire has the job to follow the knight he is working with."
"Don't sweat it, kid," says Big Gus to me. "In fact, it is a good thing we are here, right?"
"A good thing?" asked Fiona to the guy named Big Gus. "Others sacrifices their lives on the battlefield and we stay here to wait for enemies to come which they probably won't because they don't care about a forest."
"Who told you they will not come here?" ask Emily being interested in Fiona's response.
I looked at Fiona and I swear she expected a question like that from somebody, but she did not expect from Emily, who is one of my blood relatives.

"I have heard the general talking to his tent with a few high ranked knights about the impossibility for them to take the forest but to a possibility to navigate into the river," says Fiona making Big Gus, Emily, and even me curious how she did know that.
"How did you know that?" asked Big Gus looking at Fiona.
"Yeah... about that," I say to everyone. "Last night, Fiona and I were going to hanging and I used an invisibility spell on her to successfully catch some food. And the spell was one who has a big effect time." After that, I look at Fiona and I say to her: "I am sorry for what I did."
"Don't be," says Fiona to me while she head pat me like I was some kind of dog. "You did a nice job."
"Yeah... The fact that you could create some spells that not even at my level is crazy," says Emily to me, and later she looks at Fiona. "Oh, sorry. You probably don't know us, right?"
"Not even the brightest idea," says Fiona to Emily. "But the tough guy I knew him very well."
"Really?" asked the Big Gus getting off from his bed. "How come?"
"You remember the night where the building called "Furnic's Tavern" was on fire and there was renamed "Misu's Tavern"? "
"Oh yeah, I knew it. You were there and helping me out to take people in the building outside. Hell, I can not believe you can transform into a vewolf back in the day, even though you were fourteen years old and you were still in your first year as a knight."
"You pretty much remembered, but right now, I can still control that vewolf, but just a part of it. That time I was so close to losing control because back in the day I couldn't control the full form."
"Now you can?" ask Emily to Fiona.

"Well..." says Fiona feeling like a scientist who he told the whole world that he would make a colossal discovery in the next week, but when asked a week later if he had discovered anything, he replied feeling very embarrassed that he had failed and was embarrassed. "I cannot, but I can assume, the changing parts of my body are good enough for the fighting."
"Even though you are carrying a giant sword everywhere," says Big Gus to Fiona, which makes her feel kinda embarrassed for picking that topic earlier.
After a few seconds, we all sat in the bunker in silence and watching the area, even if the possibility of an enemy arriving here is quite small. Fiona sits in her bed and polishes parts of her armour on her feet with a cloth she always carries. Emily came out of the bunker to check the area, and Big Gus was in his bed sleeping and snoring. Big Gus snored so hard that I found it hard to believe that the man was really a blood relative of mine because I didn't snore when I slept or scratch my ass. It seems that relatives can also be strange. When I was at the Orphanage, I never thought about what it was like to have other family members, I always thought that a big family is made up of a father, a mother and possibly a child or more. While Fiona was polishing her armour, I ask her if I can go outside, and she jokingly tells me to be careful what explosions I make. That's why I decided to have their wand with me and remember to use that spell I used on the rat a few days ago. I come out of the bunker, and outside I see Emily, who is in the position where my fat friend dressed in an orange robe sat while we were transported in the carriage.
"Um... Emily?" I asked her while she is posing in that weird position.
"What is it, Judah?" asked Emily while she is still posing in that weird position.
"What are you doing?"
"Meditation to recharge my mana."
"Oh. I see."
Judah decides to leave her meditating in peace, but before I was about to take another step, Emily asked me if he wanted to let me join in her meditating process. Honestly, I wouldn't mind because I probably need to recharge my mana. Who knows when danger could appear and I needed full mana storage. I am sitting right to Emily, I am sitting in that weird position, and after I have done that, Emily explained to me how does this work while she keeps her eyes closed.
"All you have to is just thinking about a place which you truly love and it let you feel relaxed. Think about, for an example, In a desert meadow, where no one bothers you, there is no human being, monster or man-monster, just the pleasant breeze of the summer wind and the fresh air."
"Alright. I will try it." I say after I close my eyes and thinking about a place like this.
In my mind, I was in a beautiful meadow. With beautiful trees, grass that makes you feel good on your bare feet, a pleasant breeze of a summer wind, and the most beautiful, were the clouds. I lie on my back, look at the clouds for a few moments, then start watching some clouds take on different shapes, for example, one of them looks like a sheep. The second cloud I saw is like a horse being ridden by an adventurer. The third cloud I see with my blue eyes is of a more strange shape, that cloud resembles the map of the Kingdom of Romania, and the fourth cloud, which approaches the third, most likely resembles a Minotaur. What connection would all this have? I have no idea, but I don't care either.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
