From the boldness in his demand, the soldiers knew that with their actions, they would never scare him, so one of them who was not focused on him earlier had to turn to him and say. "Who are you?" "Are you the captain of this troop?" Zach asked, facing the young soldier that had questioned him. His reason for answering with a question was because he does not look like a captain, even from the way he spoke, he did not have a commanding voice or tone. Even the man that had asked them to stop in the first place had a more thick and threatening voice than him."We lost our Captain, so I'm in charge,'' the man answered as he drew close to Zach looking him in the eyes.Zach wanted to laugh because he did not imagine the young soldier to be the one to assume the rank of the captain even if the actual Captain was among the fallen. He held himself from laughing and then looked at the other twenty four men to see if anyone would counter the words of the soldier but none did as he was expecting

Later that same day, after Zach, Eric and Harris had gotten some rest. Eric and Zach were called by the King as he took them to the armor house to go through the gallery of weapons for Zachary to make selection.They had shuffled through for some minutes and the things they were seeing were not the kind of weapon they had told Luca was the weapon Eric had mastered. So Eric had to say, "My lord, I am confused.""What is the matter?" Luca became confused too due to the question that he looked at Eric as they stopped walking.Now he had gotten the attention of the king, so he continued. "What exactly are we doing here? I haven't seen any shaff among the weapons whereas that is the weapon I need.""Oh, is that the reason why you are confused?" Luca asked him with a relieved face as if what he had said is not reason enough to make him confused.That new look worn by the King was not pleasing to Eric at all. "You are sountas though it is not a good reason to make me curious?""Sorry Eric. M
Stuck in my Game World. 19. Looking for Harris.
King Luca was yet to get to his chamber after their return from the blacksmith's workshop. He was getting feedback concerning the just finished battle at some location in his kingdom from a captain that just returned, when Eric and Zach came to meet him again.Even before they said what had happened, he had read from their faces that all was not well. So he told the captain he was discussing with to excuse him for a moment while he attends to Zach and Eric. "What happened? You don't look bright.""It's Harris. He is missing.""Impossible!" Luca exclaimed with total doubt. It will be stupid of him to believe the report immediately sknce there was no report of conflict in the castle while he was away."We would not be joking in matters like this. We have looked for him in all the places he could be, yet to no avail." Eric said."You vowed to ensure his safety," Zach reminded him."Of course, I will keep to my word. There is no need to panic. He will be somewhere around the castle, there

few minutes after he said those words, Eric and Zach came in to meet them after receiving word that Harris had been found. Immediately they set their eyes on him, they made haste and embraced him.Without anyone telling the supervisor, he could tell who amongst them was Zach because Eric was quite young to be the legend whom people spoke of. So he saluted with a bow. "Lord Zachary."But Zach paid no attention to the salutation as he asked Harris. "Where have you been? You made me freak out.""I'm sorry father but I earnestly want to fight for my country. I want to be a legend like you, whom everyone is talking about."He knew from the reply where he had gone that he had to ask out of fear. "Hope you did not sign the oath?""I'm afraid my lord, but he has already completed the oath." The supervisor answered in Harris' place since he was finding it difficult to answer the question because he was scared and knew that his father would not be happy to hear that.Instantly, Zach then looke

The words of Zachary's return were spread abroad, throughout the whole cities, towns and villages of Palind. That the people began to derive faith that their legend was back. But some people did not believe that he would still be as strong as he was because they calculated how long it had been since he left fighting and based on human perception there was no way he would be the same way he was before. Old age was taking over.Well, even if many felt that age must have gotten him weak, some believed that age did not do anything to him as they had some elderly warriors like Morgan Elliot and Aaron Gordon, who were still fighting and doing well in the battlefield.Outside the news of Zachary Hawkins return to the fight, the world was also informed of the stranger and said savior, Eric Claus, who will bring an end to the fight by driving away all the creatures to wherever place they had come from to take over their lands.It has been weeks since Eric Claus came to Raychester castle and ev

After he was gone, Morgen then expressed himself. "Zachary, what was the meaning of that?""Meaning of what?""Why did you send your son away?""I'm not the only one in the army who has a son in the army too. He should know the codes of our services and I don't have to deviate from it because he is my son.""Nobody is asking you to go against the codes. We are already done with our discussion." Aaron said."Do you want to know the truth why I sent him away?" he asked them and they nodded in unison, so he continued. "I know why he is here and would not like to engage in any argument with him about this.""What is going on, Zach? I understand you don't want him in the army but King Luca would have brought him out if you wanted him out." Aaron said to him."Being Generals should not give us the privilege to go against the law. He has to serve according to his oath.""In a department which doesn't suit him?" Aaron asked again."At least he is serving according to his oath. I can't put him
Stuck in my Game World. 23. A new prophecy.
A few days passed after Harris talked with his father. The conversation that day made him so loyal to the core that he was focused in his department, everything that was outside the medical department was kicked off his mind as he took it to be the only training which he needed at the moment.With his new loyalty, the supervisor was troubled as they no longer found him practicing secretly as he used to. They loved his former spirit as all the commanders there knew of a surety that Harris was not meant for the medical department, they were not ignorant of the fact that he was supposed to be in the field fighting. They actually liked the fact that they would find him training alone, but now that he was not found carrying out his routine, they were worried but could not ask him why as they were part of the people that pushed him away from that activity.Harris on his part never abandoned training, he still practiced but it was no longer as usual and he would do this in a more hidden loca
Stuck in my Game World. 24. The trance.
Eric Claus could see himself walking in a plain white background. There was nothing in the place he found himself as he could see as far as his eyes and nothing was there. He turned around, still nothing so he began to wander in one direction. One thing he did not do was to ask where he was or what he was doing there. The reason why that was not asked was because he did not have the answer and there was no one who could answer it.He walked for a very long time before he could hear the voice of a little girl whispering from behind. At first he refused to turn around because it was a place where he had just walked past and nobody was there.Be keep walking still to refusing backeven as he knew that the person whispering behind him was following. It was at the moment when he heard them say something audible that he stopped because the voice was familiar.As he stopped, the voice behind said again, "Father...."Now it was clear to him where he had heard that voice before. It was the voi

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

188. Funny but true.
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
