Stuck in my Game World. 138. Drawing attention.
At this point where he could not stand up on his feet after several failed attempts, he had to lie back on the ground, take his time to think of something that would definitely produce positive results. His lying down there finally resulted in something good after a few minutes of staying; now he was able to realize and value the importance of staying. Of course, there was only one thing that could come into his head at this point and that was the remembrance that his had magical powers and with those powers, he composed some words in his head whether they were the right words to use or not, he just fixed his mind on what it should result in, which was strength. He was muttering the words, which made it very difficult for one to hear what he was saying, even himself was not sure of what he was saying at all. Just as he had stationed his mind while uttering the words, he was able to notice some reaction in his body. There were sounds of cracking of bones in his body, the bones which we

At this point, he now realized the great importance of what Eric had done for him before leaving, he could recall vividly how he had tried stopping Eric from carrying out treatment yet Eric was more stubborn than he was and had to use force to make sure his wound was tended to. He knew at this moment that he wouldn't have been able to move if Eric had not helped him. With these things coming back to his memory, tears streamed down his eyes the most but then it was later accompanied by a smile, it was not necessarily a smile of happiness, rather that of pain and this happened when he looked at his legs and could see the hand work of Eric. Thus he was now determined to make sure Eric's death was not in vain, but completely the journey alone was still a problem to him, yet he must act, and act in the best way he can. He took up his sword first and inserted it back into its sheath, afterwards, he went for the walking aid which was also cut and given to him by the same man who had helped in
Stuck in my Game World. 140. Stay back!
Breathing shakily while moving backwards, he drew his sword and pointed Eric with it saying, "Stay back! Don't come any closer." Even with his warning Eric kept trying to come close and he was really shaking in fear yet he was not going to lower this weapon as he kept threatening him. "I'm warning you to stay back." "Calm down Zach, I died but I'm alive as we speak." "Then where are you, because I don't think....." "Right here. Come on, don't make this too difficult, we hugged each other just some minutes ago. I am here with you flesh and blood." "No, you are lying." Zach refused to believe him. Then Eric stopped moving so as to see if that would at least calm his mind and grant him the audience he was seeking. "Just listen to what I have to say first and if you still don't believe me, I will let you go. Besides, you need my help. We both need each other if we must succeed in this journey." Now he was kind of talking sense, but that did not make Zach let his guard down, he was st

It took quite a long time before they were able to trace their way out of the woods without running into those beasts again. When they were finally out of the woods there was this joy that overwhelmed them, showing greatly on their faces as laughter filled their mouths and the next few minutes were used to celebrate their survival in that wood even though they had gotten injured, especially Zach whose wound was worse as Eric had used his powers to heal himself. While in the mood of celebrating their survival from the woods, Zach's eyes caught sight of the orc which Eric had trapped there with his magic before venturing into the woods to find him. The orc was really tired, with its face stationed to the earth, it heard their celebration but could not call the attention of the wizard who was able to set him feet from the boud it was put in. It spent a good trying to break free but none of its attempts was successful and it was worn out by that. It had even at some point since Eric staye
Stuck in my Game World. 142. Are you sure about this?
With the stone rolling towards, it then made the first move, removing its face looking downwards to looking up at Eric, yet it did not utter a word. It was still surprising as to how Eric had survived that wood and the beast therein without being hurt. Even while it stayed out there, it had heard the noises made by the beasts which proved to it they were after someone which it also knew Eric. Another thing that had made it baffled was seeing Zach, it never believed that Zach would survive encountering those creatures as it knew that the moment when they heard the scream that caused Eric to venture into the woods, it was the beasts dealing with Zach. Yes, it was surprising, but Eric was more surprised, he never believed that his powers were that strong to have kept the beast there for over two days. Aside this, he was made to understand before now that if a magician dies, his powers and everyone or thing under his or her spell would be free, so it was confusing to him that the orc was

Well, Zach did not like the idea of its hesitance, it took it to be an act to keep them there till another monster attacks. He had come to know that the orc wants them dead, and if it is given the slightest time, then it would do so of which it was seeing this moment to be one of the times when it wants to execute that plan of its. Thus, he was more impatient than Eric so he had to draw his sword, point to the neck of the creature and said not minding the fact that it does not understand him. "Are you going to speak or will you have me slice your throat?!" His actions alone told the orc what he was saying in words and it did reply at once, "I'll continue." "What did it just say?" Zach asked Eric as he didn't understand its language, but still his sword was on its neck and he was still looking at it in anger. "You can lower your sword now," Eric answered him indirectly, and it was understood very well by Zach whom he was referring to, thus put back his sword into its sheath and with
Stuck in my Game World. 144. Warning.
When they came to the city of Riverston, the city was already down, commander Benjamin and his men had literally done everything within their power to stop the creatures but none was working, every strategy which they would use against the ogres, trolls and even orcs had been put in use before now. Thus what they were doing at this time was to protect as many as they could. The creatures that they had come to fight against, were the same beasts which had killed Eric in the woods, and this time they had come in their numbers to bring down the country and warn humans never to send any more man into their territory. The attack on Riverston was only a warning to man. When they saw the king approach the city, they ceased fighting. Even though they had not known king Luca before now, they knew from his armor and the way the soldiers rallied with him that he was the king, therefore the right person they wanted to see. Commander Ben, who had been trying so hard all this while was baffled wh
Stuck in my Game World. 145. Why what?
The journey in the outer world continued in a smooth way as the orc resumed leading them through the lands, this time with the magnitude of calmness put in by the orc, they felt safe following its landings for the first time. Their instincts were totally okay with the directions which it was taking them through. The orc was following instructions given to it concerning stopping and moving as it knew that their speed would not be the same since Zach wounds was still healing and he need not to be in any form of pressure. Though Zach was the one that loved them to move without wasting time, he was still the person that gave the instruction of when to stop and when to move. Since the orc was now cooperating very well with them, Eric saw no need to still keep it in chains, so the magical chain which he put it in to make sure it was on check had to be revoked at the moment when they were observing a rest which Zach had asked for. It was a huge surprise to the orc that the chain went off,

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.

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
