FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Pushed Away
She pushed away from him and saw that she was drenched. Diane looked around in confusion. She was in a shallow stream and was probably brought out from there. It was so shallow that she could see the sand underneath. Draven, Leo and Lara gathered around her, fluttering about.“What’s the matter with you?” Draven hissed. “Are you begging for death or something?’Diane looked up at him. He was sort of holding her up. She saw that his legs and hands were drenched too, which told her that he had been the one who pulled her out of the water. He was looking at her now with the kind of judgmental eyes people looked at those who were selfish enough to kill themselves.Diane shook her head adamantly. “I didn’t do this, I swear!” she said desperately. “It was Timothy! It is all his doing!”“Who’s Timothy again?” Leo asked on a side note.“He’s the one haunting her; the owner of the game,” Draven responded.“Ahhh, the one who built this game,” Leo smirked as he looked down at Diane. “You tried t
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Beast
“You do know that none of this is our business,” Leo said as they began their journey. “I know we agreed to help you, but this is as far as our help go. No one is staying awake just because you can’t sleep.”“He can perforate you guys’ dreams!” Diane argued hotly. “I’m trying to protect you, don’t you understand? I’m trying to protect all of you!”“It is your dream that he can come in, not in ours. You’re just trying to make everyone as miserable as you are,” Leo said.Before they could start arguing, Draven raised his hand in the air.“Guys, let’s not start. We’re all going to sleep… except for you, Diane.”She grunted in frustration. “Ugh, what do you guys think this is? Some child’s play where anyone can do whatever they want?”“We know it’s not a child’s play,” Leo said. “We’re just not trying to be actively involved in your fight with this guy.”“You’re traveling with me! You’re potentially now a part of my crew—”“This is our crew, Diane. You just came out of nowhere and joined
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Screamed...
The search spanned into midnight. They searched and searched and searched, but Diane was not satisfied with the couple of materials that they came up with. She wanted more, and so they moved to a couple of other different locations.Draven did not fail to see how each location was a little darker and quieter than the last. They were all exhausted from moving too much, but she didn’t seem to mind. She wanted more, wanted to check out so many spots, wanted to see a better quality of crystals.“I know a witch’s lair around here,” she said at last, when they got to the last location and didn’t come up with anything reasonable.Draven grabbed her hand and drew her close to him so no one would hear. “Why do I feel that you’ve been leading us by the tail since morning?” he asked.“Why would you even think that I’ll do that?” Diane asked him. “You’ve been sincerely helping me despite our past relations, so I won’t want to spoil that by playing you guys, would I?”“Good, because if I suspect a
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Hands Full
Draven and Diane ran in with hands full of stones and valuables needed for the ritual. When they reached Leo, they dumped everything on the floor and tried to attend to him.“You were three minutes late!” Leo yelled, and then shifted.Everyone stood still. There was Lara, twitching so hard that it started the beast. The bear shifted away from her, whining into the midnight as her skin burned the grass underneath. Her body was so red they could practically see it burning.“What the fuck is happening?” Diane asked, scared.“Damn it if I know,” Leo shouted. “I just came here and met her like this.” He touched her skin and then pulled back, biting his lips so he won’t scream again. “Fuck, she’s burning.”“It’s Timothy,” Draven suddenly realized. “He’s the one. Just as you predicted, Diane, he got into our head.”“He got into her head and she’s asleep,” Diane corrected.“There’s no time. Is there anything we can do to draw her out of that nightmare she’s obviously on?” Leo asked desperatel
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Hello...
“It’s important that I bleed her,” Diane quickly explained. “It’s actually even better that she refused me. Then it would mean that I was taking from her without her consent.”“Isn’t it bad that you’re taking her blood without her consent?” Leo asked.“I already asked that you let me do what I’m supposed to do and not interfere,” Diane said harshly. “Besides, the better she resists me, the better for her.”With one long look at Draven, Diane stood up and went back to the blue fire that was now fizzling out. She poured the content of the bowl into the fire—the bear’s heart, her and Lara’s blood, with a ton of other concoction she mixed in there. The fire hissed and roared while she stood above it, allowing the burn to dance on her skin. She looked like the goddess of destruction who was burning away the world.Leo went to stand beside Draven. Seeing Diane like that scared him a little bit, especially since the burn seemed to affect Lara. Diane was the one standing above the fire but it
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Timothy
It was Timothy.Draven drew back and raised his sword in defense He didn’t know how he knew it was Timothy, considering that he’d never seen the man before. However, every hair on his body stood and stold him that this was the man. No other person could sneak up on him so easily and have such strong aura. Matter of fact, he didn’t even see the man coming. It was almost like he’d been watching him from a time away and then materialized himself where Draven was.Draven began to look for a reason why this man with the strong presence could be Timothy. As the man approached him again, he held his sword strongly in his arms and relaxed his muscles. There must be something… well, apart from the fact that he had a strong aura and he recognized him as Draven, there was a fiery burnt mark at the side of his face, like his face had been in a romantic dance with fire.Wait a minute…Diane had performed the ritual two days ago. Draven and Leo never asked her the exact concept of the ritual bit it
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Lovers
“Draven, who were you speaking to just now?” Diane asked as she hurried after him.“That’s none of your business, Diane.”“None of my business, Diane.”“None of my business? I saw you talking to him!”Draven stopped abruptly and rounded on her, forcing Diane to take several steps back lest she fell into him.“I didn’t know you had a problem with me talking to myself. Are you delusional, Diane? Do you think everything revolves around you?”“Right now, everything does,” she replied hastily.Draven gave her one look before turning on his heels. He didn’t know why Timothy had disappeared so fast. He didn’t even understand the real history between Timothy and Diane. When she was telling her story, she seemed truly repentant of her sin. Even if she was not repentant, at least she acknowledged her sins. She knew it would bring others down and she was trying to help. Draven knew deep down that she was also actively trying to save her own skin. Besides, if Timothy could so easily get into Lara
FortuneCraft in Apocalypse Missed
“What the fuck…” Leo said but his sentence died off.This was more than he bargained for. Were they really arguing about lovers right now? Were they still in the same conversation space of had something happened that he was not aware of? He looked back to find Lara sitting on a tree log, watching them with crossed eyes. That was the way she was; always hiding at a corner to watch them when they started to argue.Diane stopped rubbing her neck but she still kept her hand there. “What the hell are you talking about?”Draven laughed sarcastically. “Are we going to start this back and forth shit now? Is that what you’re playing at, Diane?”“No, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Is that so? Well now, let me spell it out for you. Are you and Timothy lovers? You’re so invested and obsessed with him that I’m obliged to think that you both have been lovers.”That was a huge bomb, and bombs comes with the silence of an attack. Leo looked back to Lara, whose mouth was agape in sho

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

Darkness
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

Sword
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
