Stuck in my Game World. 115. Not again....!
Coming some distance away from the spot where he encountered those troubles, he came before a parting in the route of the cave of which from his experience so far and the little he observed from the looks of the cave, that there was going to be a lot more diversions and parting in the two routes before him. So it was another difficult choice that had been placed before him, of which he had to think critically and logically, considering every possible outcome that he could come across in each of the paths which he must definitely choose one out of them. He was really angry that he had to face such a situation again as he said to himself. “Not again…!” Though he was fucking worried about where to follow, but he it did not take long before he did the needful which was to call out the name of Zachary, facing both directions that he had to pick from, at least Zach should hear him calling this time around and answer him because without a doubt he was closer to him than the first time sinc
Stuck in my Game World. 116. Sorrow.
Coming very close to the place of the sound, reverse was the case, instead helping the creature that had been making the deceitful sound, he was knocked down by the creature only to raise his face and see that it was the orc who led them into the cave that was calling out for him. “Youuu…..!!!!!” Zachery cried in regret of falling for its trick. While anger filled the face of Zach, the orc burst into an uncontrollable laughter. It was very cheerful and annoying that Zach felt like striking the orc but that could not be possible since it was the orc who had struck him first and it was so hard that it had to take a couple of minutes or so to recover and deliver his own strike. Funny enough, the orc uttered some words which he did not know what they meant because he was not Eric who had the ability to understand what they were saying. The orc on its part was saying those words with the mindset that Eric had thought Zach how to understand and speak its language because during the perio
Stuck in my Game World. 117. The unbelievable.
Back inside the cave where Eric was still searching for Zach with the lamp in his hands, but at this point he had stopped calling out his name since no one was answering his call and he was quite tired of shouting Zach’s name. While he continued with this search, the orc who had run away from Zach a few minutes ago and was still running thinking that Zach had pursued it to catch it, came to cross paths with Eric as they both hit themselves and fell to the ground in the opposite direction. Seeing that it was Eric that it had come to hit again, it hurriedly got to its feet to run away from him since it knew that it was also in danger of meeting Eric again. But Eric would not make that mistake again, though he did not get up immediately, he failed to let that be the reason why he should allow that creature to escape again. As it jumped on its feet to run off again, he instantly said with a commanding tone as he stretched his staff. “Come back here!!” Instantly, at the sound of his com

Eric on his part was also surprised at how he was making that possible. He did not understand how he was able to cast those spells with ease. To him everything seemed to be a dream because he could not recall himself practicing how to cast those spells. Everything concerning the powers was happening like a dream to him, even the actions and words he said to bring those powers to reality was another thing on its own which he could not explain as none was planned by him. Nevertheless, he made sure he did not make it known to the orc that what he was doing was done unconsciously else it would make the orc seek more means to escape again. This was just a simple application of wisdom that needed no special teaching. So in response to the demand of Eric asking the orc to repeat itself, the orc chose to say. "Let's get going... We don't have all the time." It preferred to say this instead of asking Eric to tell it how he managed to master his power to that level. "Better." Eric replied, "D

Eric did not understand what it said so he asked in a very curious manner. "What do you mean by that? What is that supposed to mean?!" He blurted out with anger and in a haste, thus he did not know when he repeated the same question in two different sentences. It was even as though he was going to use another phrase to repeat the question once again. But the orc had to start talking, thereby causing him to pause. "This was the stop where I last saw him." Hearing this response from the orc, what to say was not lacking in his mouth, he immediately said again. "And how is that supposed to be any of my business? I asked you to take me to Zachary and not to bring me to the last place where you saw him. Is that understood?" "I ran away from him when we crossed paths without one another here, so how am I supposed to know where he had gone?" The orc was now asking him. But that's none of Eric's business, "Are you going to do as I said or you will have me slay you and continue with the jou
Stuck in my Game World. 120. Always a way.
Now the pressure was too much and the proof that death was sure if it failed to speak the truth for the last time. So the orc did not have the strong heart to keep lying. It blurted out at once, as he pointed towards a route different from the one it wanted to lead Eric into in the first place. "He went that way..." Then Eric looked at the route which the orc had pointed. He observed it for a few minutes as he looked at the orc too, looking for the slightest signs to tell that what it had said was false. Due to the stare at both the orc and direction in question, he was able to see that of a truth the orc was not lying again. So he said as his mood changed from being very serious to the normal way again. "I always knew that there was a way to make you talk. Now lead the way." Immediately, the orc exhaled heavily as its heart was already gone due to fear because it thought that Eric would not believe it even as it had told the truth about where Zach had gone. It took some time before
Stuck in my Game World. 121. What do you take me for?
Now the orc had successfully given a very good and convincing answer to Eric but that was not enough to cause him to follow it into the cave once again. "I love your responses, but my heart tells me not to go in there again." "What about your friend? He is still in there… don't tell me you are going to leave him to die inside the cave?" "It's none of your business what I choose to happen to him." Eric blurted out before reasoning what he had said. The orc was shocked to hear that come from Eric, it now saw those words as its chance. "Eric… I can't believe you are saying this… what would Zach think of you? He would have gone back into the cave to find you but here you are saying you don't care what happened to him." It said those words to make Eric feel guilty and also to propel him into doing what it wants him to do. "Stop it!!" Eric scolded it. He knew what the orc was doing by saying those words. "Your words would not make me do what I don't want to do. We are not going into the
Stuck in my Game World. 122. Back to Palind.
“Quiet! Zach is a pathfinder; he is able to find his way out of the cave. In short, he is out here. He is no longer inside that god forsaken place.” Eric now said with a lot of boldness that the orc could now tell that it can not deceive him again. Telling Eric that Zach was inside the cave was the option it had to make him go into the cave and now that he had confirmed that Eric would not believe a word about Zach still being inside the cave. It was over. Continuing the journey was all it was left with. The orc was only moving its eyes from staring at Eric and the rock where it was tied to. It did know what to do again. It said within it, telling itself that it had failed completely in the mission which it took upon itself. At this juncture it had to sit down on the floor with a lot of thoughts going through its mind. While it sat on the ground thinking, Eric used that opportunity to look around the place, as he looked out for movement. Full of disappointment, it had to find somethin

On Eric's side, he didn't expect that question to be asked, but since it was asked, he could not answer it, so he simply said. "Don't worry baby, everything will be fine. The police are there to protect you and your aunt Lauren." "From who?" She asked again. "From some very bad people." He answered, in order for her to ask another question, he added. "Can you give your aunt the phone?" "Eric, what's going on?" Lauren asked as soon as he received the phone from Jodie. "I promise I'll explain everything to you when I am bad. Just be rest assured that I am not the one they are protecting you from. It's very complicated but I promise you will understand after I've explained everything to you." "Okay bro." "Please be safe and keep Jodie safe." Eric pleaded as they said goodbye. **** Towards evening the next day, Eric Claus and Chase Stevens were called to the police station by the detective and on their arrival, the detective took them to meet a new prisoner under their custody.

191. Endangered lives.
It took almost over five hours before the detective in charge of interrogating the suspect came out to meet Eric Claus and Chase Stevens in the police station. "I thought you were asked to leave?" he asked, to my surprise. His question called their attention, so they looked up in shock but without fear since they had committed no offense by staying. "Well," Chase began as he searched for the right words to say that would make the detective understand their reason for not going home as they were asked to. "We just couldn't leave." he said, still unable to find the best words. Eric had to help him out at this point even though he was not totally in support of them staying there for that long. "Were you people able to force the truth out of him? I just can't go home knowing that someone wants me dead and probably why?" That was a good reason to defend and justify their refusal to leave the station and the detective understood quite well so he did have to press further. "Well, you two

190. The arrest.
“Just before you woke up,” Chase began, “He told Lauren and I that he would be removing you from life support because his test showed that you would never wake up again. But upon coming to see you in the ward, we found you awake, that is to say he has found out that you would be waking up any time soon so he wanted to prevent it from happening. When I asked him how it was possible that someone who he presumed to never wake up again was awake and sound, he said he didn’t know and would do some research that would explain it scientifically. He still has not given any response with the claim that he was still doing his research with some of his colleagues.” Now Eric was getting a clear understanding of something that he never put into consideration before now. It was now clear to him why he had to leave the world of Palind, letting them complete the fight which was supposed to be concluded before his departure. So he had no reason to doubt the words and suspicions of Chase. “In that cas

189. Discharged.
The doctor ran another test on Eric Claus early the next morning to confirm whether he was fully fit to leave the hospital and still his results were positive that he did not see any other reason to keep Eric there in the hospital. So he had to break the good news about his discharge so he could prepare to go home. Towards the evening hours of the day, Chase was there with Lauren and Jodie to pick Eric from the hospital and take home. While Lauren and Jodie were with Eric in the room putting together his stuff for departure, Chase went to see the doctor. After a knock on the office door, he was asked to come in and the doctor was instantly eclipsed with shock. Immediately he saw that it was Chase who had come to his office. He knew they were done with all formalities already and he shouldn’t be there again. “Oh, Mr. Chase, is it you again? Hope all is well?” the doctor said while trying to hide his freight. “Yes,” Chase walked up to the desk and with an eye gesture he asked if he c

When he came into the room Eric was still gusting and laughing with his sister and daughter, Chase did not intend to disrupt that moment knowing how much such a moment felt for the family. “I am happy to see such smiles on your faces,” Chase said, “Permission to share at this moment?” “Sure you are free.” Eric answered with gladness. The fun moment lasted for a couple of hours, until it was getting late, so Lauren had to take Jodie home since they came right from school. “Jodie, I guess we should get going now.” “No, I want to spend more time with my dad.” Jodie refused because she didn’t want that moment to end. She was also scared that her father would go into a coma again. “Come on… you will have the time you want with him, he is not going anywhere. Besides, you haven’t gotten home since you closed from school today and you still have homework and school tomorrow.” Lauren gave her some reasons why they have to go home. Eric was quite happy to hear that Jodie has been going to

187. Awake.
Due to the looks on both Lauren and Chase’s face, the doctor could tell what they were thinking but he could not concur with it. “That is not possible.” He opened the door and to his greatest surprise, it was exactly as he had read from the faces of Chase and Lauren, so he froze at the entrance. Seeing the manner in which the doctor became static, Chase and Lauren looked into the room, lo and behold, it was Eric Claus awake and talking to his daughter Jodie Eric. They too could not move for a moment and were short of words to say until Jodie saw them standing static at the door post and said. “Aunt Lauren, look, dad is awake.” “Of course he is…” Lauren replied as he slowly took some steps closer to the bed Eric was lying on. Eric then turned to the door and saw both his boss and the doctor. He was surprised to see Chase Stevens there instead of being in the company. He knew quite well what happened to him and did not need much explanation from them, he only asked one question perta

186. Reality.
The monitor attached to Eric Claus began to beep loudly, alerting the nurses and medical personnel nearby to hurriedly come check on him and find out what was the cause of the sudden beeping of the monitor. The first nurse that ran in noticed his temperature was burning beyond normal and it was something beyond her skills so she rushed out to call the doctor in charge of his treatment while another nurse that followed after her tried to stabilize the situation pending the doctor’s arrival. In a few minutes the doctor came in to check on him and saw that it was more than a normal burning for someone in his condition, and something he hasn’t seen before throughout his entire career, but that was not going to prevent from running some quick test on him. The tests were all reporting strange feedback as they stabilized him with an injection to stop the burning. Soon he began to sweat which was still strange to the professionals. “He is dying,” The doctor gave the only explanation he co

185. Tricked.
After the conversation and argument had come to an end by those words of Eric, the four of them came out of the room to meet General Aaron Gordon, General Morgan Elliot and Prince Reece Cole who were waiting for them outside. “Let’s move out.” King Luca gave the command which they have all been waiting for all these while. Afterwards they got their horses and led the soldiers out of the city of Griffins. Harris had not taken his mind off from what Eric told him, so he was still waiting to hear the outcome of Eric’s discussion with his father. So as they headed for the city of Ironbrook, he rushed forward, coming close to his father and asked in a low tune since he also thought it to be a secret. “Father, how did it go?” Zach’s mind was no longer on that, he did not perceive Harris to keep thinking of that, so he asked back as he looked into his son’s eyes curiously. “How did what go?” Still wanting to keep it a secret, Harris did not answer that question with words but with an ey

184. The argument.
After Harris was out of sight, Zachary Hawkins changed the pretentious discussion. “The King will now see you Eric.” “Okay.” Eric said as they both head to meet with King Luca Cole. In a couple of minutes they were in the king’s presence and Eric said. “Your majesty, you asked to speak with me.” “Yes,” Luca turned towards him. “We are ready to move out, so we want to know if you are set.” “Ermmm….” Eric stammered because he had not told the King about his soon departure and as Zach had advised, it was wise for him to tell the king that he would soon be leaving the country Palind back to his world. he struggled to get the right words to break the news he had for Luca but his facial expression already foretold that what he was trying to say was not something pleasant to be heard. “It’s okay, Eric, you can spit it out and stop bordering on how I will take it.” Luca encouraged him to speak and stopped holding his words. With the readiness and willingness of King Luca Cole to hear wh
