On the second day, Draven learned archery. It came as a surprise to him when Master woke him yet again and handed him some arrows and a bow. The bow was pretty weak, probably not strong enough to hit its mark.

“What matters is not the equipment, but your skill and aim,” Master said at the confused look on Draven’s face.

Draven sat up and held the arrow and bow in one hand, examining it. “What is this?”

“We will be learning archery today.”

“No more swords?"

“Don’t you know? Have you not been notified?”

“Notified of what?”

Master watched him, saying nothing. He didn’t have to say anything at that moment, because then Draven heard the system whirring within him.

[Congratulations, your training has earned you a few skill points.]

[Skills unlocked: None.]

[Skill points earned: 5]

[Experience: 70/300]

[Points earned will enable you to learn more skills that are not on the charts.]

Draven sat up. It didn’t take him long to process the information; his brain had been super active these days,

    It took a while for Leo to notice him, and when he did he screamed. Draven abandoned the jar in his hand and rushed to cover Leo’s mouth with his hand.“Shut the hell up,” he said. “You’re going to wake up some ghosts.”Leo pulled back away from him and pointed a shaky finger at him. “You’re a ghost!”Draven scoffed with a laugh. “Are you serious right now? You’re the one who died right in front of me and disappeared.’“Oh.” Leo coughed self-consciously and cleared his throat. He dusted some imaginary dust off his shoulder. “Yes, I did die.”“So like, are you the ghost?”“No! I thought you died too! I was sure she would have killed you immediately if she killed me.”“I escaped before she could do anything,” Draven said. “And I’ve been barely alive since then.”“What happened?”“Man, a lot of things have happened. I’m at level two now.”They looked at each other, examining one another. Finally, Leo burst into a laugh and Draven joined him. They hugged each other, as brief as a hug can

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse   Delicious Meal

    Leo watched the scene, slowly taking in everything. Draven moved fast, picking up his things that were abandoned on the ground. There were broken bits of arrows, the bent shape of the bow, bits of shattered stones that Draven had worked with, the upturned rocks that lay about.“Was this where you did your training?” Leo asked.“Yeah,” Draven replied. "But the Master is not around.”“He’s not around?”“He’s gone. I don’t know where he’s gone to; probably back to where he came from.”“And where did he come from?”“I told you it was a virtual trainer, Leo. Where else would he have come from?”Leo smiled, but the smile disappeared as soon as he saw Draven’s sword lying against the bark of a tree. Draven picked it up and sheathed it, then hung it by his side.“Whoa!” Leo exclaimed. “That’s one big weapon. And it looks quite sharp!”“It is sharp.” Draven motioned to the broken wood and stones and rocks about. “How did you think I was able to break all this rock hard stuff?”Leo managed to r

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse   Food

    They both sniffed the air desperately. Draven was sure he had never felt such gnawing hunger until that very minute. Back in the real human world, when he starved of hunger, he already knew how to control it and plan his next move. Here, however, hunger felt real and uncontrollable. The discomfort and churning of his stomach only drove him insane with the need to feed, and feed, and feed. When he looked over at Leo, he saw that he too had the same expression on his face.“We shouldn't," Draven bit out with great effort. “We really shouldn't."“I know,” Leo bit back. “But damn it I can’t control it.”“It feels wrong.”“It is wrong.” Leo bent over and wrapped an arm around his stomach. “Fuck, if I don’t eat it I’m definitely going to die.”“Let’s try to walk back out.” As he said this, Draven looked back at where they had come from.The distance seemed so long and unending. How had they come this far? Draven’s stomach churned at the thought of walking back without satisfying the craving

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse   Drugged

    Draven stirred. His head was banging. He couldn’t even get up; he lay still and tried to gather his thoughts. His body was weak, and his bones felt even weaker. He was lying on rough ground yet he couldn’t summon the courage to stand up. How long has it been since he was asleep, so much so that his muscles had lax and become weak? His memory came back in hazy bits. He felt so drugged and his memory felt so distant. Weren’t he and Leo walking into the cave when they perceived that delicious meal? What happened after that?He groaned internally as he remembered the exact thing that had happened. Of course, he had fucked up. They ate the soup without exactly caring for the source it had come from.“See what the chickens brought in?" He heard a female say. “I think this one is handsome.” She kicked Leo and emitted a groan from him.“You’re going to ruin his pretty face by the time we’re ready for him,” another said, male this time.Draven heard the girl sigh as she walked to an angle. He

    Draven’s sword was nowhere near him. He panicked, patting the sides of his trousers to realize that it really wasn’t on him. The kidnappers had probably taken their weapons off them, Draven knew, yet he did not feel comfortable knowing that the sword could be anywhere in the room and they could easily be killed by the now rising numbers of killers. If only he could find his weapon…“What are you doing?” Leo yelled at him. “Let’s get out of here!”“I can’t find my sword!” Draven yelled back, pushing someone off him and standing to his feet. “I need to find it. It should be around somewhere!”“We’ll get another one!”“No, that was a very sharp sword!”“Are you serious right now?”“Yes, I’m very much serious!” Draven pushed someone off him yet again and ran about, searching for his sword among the chaos.Leo seemed very upset about this, but he didn’t know what to do as more people rushed towards him. He picked up a sword on the ground and started slashing mercilessly, screaming while at

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse   Ate Stones!

    Leo ate his crackers as he watched Draven train with his virtual trainer. It was an interesting sight, but not as interesting as the crackers he was eating. It had a sour sweet taste, a welcome snack at the thought of eating stones. As he watched Draven train, his mind went back to when the trainer appeared. Master, he was called. Draven had been taken aback at the thought of his mana reducing, which he’d been working tirelessly for the past three nights. After the second night, Leo summoned the courage to ask Draven to ask Master about the stones in their belly. Draven had accepted, because it felt odd to him too. It looked as though they were no ordinary stones, and it made them heavy and breathless.“We ate some stones mistakenly on the way here,” Draven said to the Master. “What do you reckon we should do?"“How did you eat a stone mistakenly?” Master asked, his expression stiff and emotionless.“It was a series of stones," Draven answered. “We were trapped and deceived…”“I know

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse   Monsters

    They walked a long distance, Draven following Leo’s steps. Ever since he agreed to find monsters on their own so Draven could increase his Mana level, Leo had been pretty hyped up. Draven understood the need, of course, but at the same time he felt skeptical about searching for something that wasn’t searching for him. All he wanted to do was calmly follow the route that would be easy for him and get it over with this game, that was all. Leo, however, was riding on the desperation of wanting to relieve himself; which was completely understandable, of course.“We’re here,” Leo said.“Where?” Draven asked a little too loudly.“Shh!”He instantly kept quiet. They were hiding behind a large rock big enough to crush them to death. When he walked around the corner of the rock, he saw that there was a sort of house strewn together with leaves and tree bark. It wasn’t exactly a house, but you could call it one since it was housing some monsters within. Draven craned his neck forward, as if he

  • FortuneCraft in Apocalypse    Sword Destroyed

    The beast snarled its feet, charged and ready to battle. It was larger, more dangerous and more likely to kill them with one big step. The two boys stepped back, afraid and worried about what to do next. The arrow, bow and sword seemed useless against the big animal. There was no way they could succeed if they actually tried to fight back.“Where’s the other one? I’m sure they were two,” Draven asked in a shaking voice.“I don’t know,” Leo whispered. “I worked the whistle around a big unsuspecting waterloo so they must have fallen into it.”“This one clearly survived. And he’s going to eat us alive.”“Maybe we shouldn’t have gone monster hunting in the first place!”“How else are we going to get points if we don’t? It’s not like other players have specific points to give!”The beast took one step forward and the earth shook. The two boys shuddered and stepped back. Coming to a face to face confrontation with another monster unplanned was not what they had expected at all.“We only hav

    The End

    Draven couldn’t believe it was over. Three months later he was still thinking if he was making the right decision. Assistant David sat in his living room with a bunch of documents in front of him. He paced up and down, not sure what he would do.“You can just sign here,” the man said for the umpteeth time. “It’s not really that hard. You sign that you’ve taken ownership of the game and you decide what you want to do with it.”“But I don’t want ownership of the game,” Draven said again. He had repeated this exact words countless times but the guy didn’t seem to be hearing him.“You should have known what you were getting yourself into when you challenged late game owner Timothy—” David paused and looked to the heavens. “May his soul not rest in peace. You should have known that killing him would automatically make you the owner of the game. Those were his rules.”Draven rolled his eyes. He was sure that Timothy had made that rule because he didn’t believe anyone would be able to defeat

    Timothy laughed. His laughter was vivacious and full of life. This was what he wanted, after all. The very end of judgement day where he would punish all those who failed him; those who went against him and those who was party to his torture.Here was Draven, the strongest man to ever grace his game. Timothy knew he was going to be a lot of trouble in the future and so he had specifically looked into him. Now that Draven has waged war with his full chest over a woman, he was ecstatic. This was historic, and he was living a historic time in the present. How many men brought knives to fight for their loves, anyways?Smiling, he snapped his fingers. A single door opened and his assistant ran to him carrying a box.“You’re about to experience an historic moment with me,” He said to Draven. “Diane will be our goddess Diana, and we will be the lowly men who are fighting for her love.”Diane scoffed. “You don’t have to do it, Draven. The guy is nuts. Let’s just get out of here.”“But darling

    Draven panicked for a minute. He thought for sure that the darkness and pressure meant he was losing his consciousness, but that wasn’t the case. One minutes there was stark darkness and the next minute they fell into an extremely white room with hard cardboard. They fell through the sky, hitting directly on the wood and groaning in pain. The stark white color of the room blinded them. It was brighter than a sky or white paint. It was so bright that Draven closed his eyes and tried to regain his or he r senses. He knew there was a betrayal in the group—which wasn’t surprising as their group was made of weird, diverse people, but he needed to see who exactly did it.He won’t even be surprised if to was Lara. She was the one who had led them to the cage, after all. She was the one who offered to test the waters and make sure the portal was okay. Who in their right senses tests water and portal to make a point of the portal not working? Unless he or she was working with Timothy and knew

    Statement

    No one said anything after Diane’s statement. They were so tired and hungry and unsure of what to do next. Draven’s goods felt heavy to him. His sword even felt heavier than normal. He didn’t believe he came back to this game to be ridiculed and placed in a very unstable condition because of a silly fight that was going on between two lovers. When he looked at Diane, he wondered if she was toying with them again. Was she afraid to meet Timothy or what? He knew that the portal might likely take them to Timothy as the owner can easily manipulate events, but at least he was ready for that stage. He could exactly tell what Diane was thinking when she was looking her nose down on the portal.“We cannot just stay here,” Lara said. “Do you want us to keep waiting for him to keep finding opportunities to kill us? We’re certainly going to die of hunger if we keep waiting!”“She’s right,” Draven concurred. “We can’t keep lying about in wait like lambs to a slaughter. We must make the first move

    Awkward

    Everyone was super awkward after the kiss. Leo avoided for the rest of the morning. He didn’t want to talk about it but it was too late; Draven had seen them and announced to the whole pack in the morning that the kiss was probably the most hottest he’d seen.“Whoa,” Diane said excitedly. “You two kissed? That’s great. Are you like a couple now or something?”“It’s nothing like that, okay? It was just a kiss, and a mistake at that,” Leo piped up.Even though he didn’t want to talk about the kiss or look at Lara’s face, he was glad that Draven brought it up. At least he’d air his opioid publicly about it so he won’t have to be in an awkward space with Lara.“Ouch, Leo, you’re a player!” Diane said, laughing. “You can’t say those kind of things to someone when you’ve kissed them!”“I didn’t kiss her, okay? She’s the one who kissed me,” Leo defended hotly.“It’s still hurtful that you say it that way. Have some feelings, pal,” Diane said, her laugh increasing.It sounded mocking and cont

    Thoughts

    Leo could not sleep. Draven had been out for close to an hour, yet he wasn’t back yet. Lots of thoughts assaulted his brain, but the one that stayed the most was Diane.Diane. Diane. Diane.He bet she was here to true their life again, and that bet was true. If Leo was the one to handle this, he’d definitely not want to help her out the way Draven was. It was as if the guy didn’t want to learn any lessons about why it’s dangerous to just not help anyone for too long. Draven was lenient when it came to Diane and he didn’t like it one but.He turned his head to the side and saw her sleeping peacefully.“Yeah, like you didn’t just send someone to their death,” he murmured to himself.He wondered if Draven was still talking to the game creator or if he’s been killed. If he was truly killed, Leo won’t honestly know how to handle that. He tried not to think about it because it was depressing enough. He sat up now, still watching Diane. If she had been careful, they won’t be in this shit hol

    Dissappearing

    Draven waited until everyone was comfortable with him being their security for the night before he left into the woods. Diane was surprisingly quiet and compliant. It was like she was into her head too much to care about what Draven wanted to do. Seeing that all odds were in his favor, Draven waited a bit before withdrawing to the forest. He walked deeper and deeper, wondering if he should just sit on a log and wait for Timothy to appear.“Hi Draven.”He yelped and fell to the ground, startled. His shouts of surprise startled the forest a bit, and so Draven waited it out to make sure no one was coming to check what the noise was before turning his head slowly to the side. There was Timothy, standing under the moonlight. He looked attractive and mysterious and just too handsome to be standing there. Draven sat up as he brushed away the small dirts on his body.“You scared me,” he hissed at Timothy. “You know you should learn not to sneak up on people like that.”“I didn’t sneak up on y

    Dumb Ass

    They camped inside a cave, just as Draven wanted. He’d taken his time and made sure they covered a 12 hour distance just so he could find the perfect place for them to camp. Finding a cave was not just the problem—and caves were pretty scarce. The problem was finding one that was deep and big enough to accommodate more than three persons. When he finally found it, it was nearing dark. The blanket of darkness that fell over them was just the right thing Draven needed to carry out his plans. He’d been thinking for hours how he would get away with talking to Timothy without anyone noticing and this was the best part.“A cave?” Lara asked in disbelief when they stood before the place. “Isn’t this kind of weird, Draven? Some crazy monsters might be in there!”Draven nodded in understanding. “Leo and I are going to check it out and see if it’s free of monsters; how about that?”“I thought you said we were getting to the end of the game,” Lara moaned.Draven gave her a confused look. “Lara,

    Long Mile

    They walked a long mile, Draven and Leo leading the way while Lara and Diane walked behind. Diane stayed at the far end so she won’t walk on the same lane with Lara. There was something suspicious about the young girl that she didn’t like. Diane wasn’t usually suspicious of people but when she does, her instinct was definitely right—just as it was right with Draven and Lara. Leo cleared his throat and glanced at Draven. “So… were you lying?”“Was I lying about what?” Draven mumbled.“You know… about what Diane said?”“Why would I be lying about that?”Leo cocked his brows at him. “Don’t forget that I know you all too well, Draven. I know when you lie out of necessity and when you lie out of leisure. I usually don’t catch the leisure one but the necessity one is very obvious.”Draven glanced at him with an amused expression. “Really?”“Yup. You get all tense and defensive and violet most times if you’re pressured about it. It’ll make you want to protect that little lie of yours quite
