Stuck in my Game World. 169. Portal.
“Over there,” the three of them answered at a time as they pointed backwards where there was a supposed door. They were shaking as they gave this response which was enough proof to tell that they were not lying. Nevertheless, their confession had to be confirmed first before they would be allowed to live just as they were pleading. So Eric singled Zach with a simple look which meant for him to move towards the direction which had been pointed out by the orcs and check for his son. Zach for sure did not trust the orcs and where they had pointed, he perceived to be another trick of theirs to lure them into another trap of orc armies which might be lying in wait to attack them. But since he could sense some atom of trust which Eric had where they were, he made the move to check out the place that had been pointed. His movement was a bit slow since he was very conscious to avoid falling into a trap. Slowly he got to the place but the supposed door was locked, even the small opening whic

Now the portal which they went into in the base of the orcs brought them to the boundary between the outer world and the country of Palind, the city of Riverston, at the bank of the river in particular. Zach was so happy and surprised to have come so close to the country with ease without having to fight again. But at the same time remembering that he was still carrying his son who was unconscious, he was not as happy as he ought to be, in short, he seemed more in a sad mood than in a happy mood. “Eric,” he called, reminding him of Harris so that he would do something to save that would cause him to regain consciousness. As his name was called, Eric turned to Zach and with the way Zach looked at Harris, he understood what he had called him for without having him say the words. So Eric replied, “We are close to the city of Riverston, come on let's join the soldiers in the camp first. Your son will be okay.” Eric said those words which boasted the faith of Zach, those words were wor

Next, Eric Claus began to mutter some words as he placed his arm on Harris’ chest where his heart was located. Just like in the real world, whenever the heart of a person stops pulping, pressure will be applied, so he had to apply this strategy, hitting the heart of Harris in order for it to start pumping blood to all parts of his body again. He carried out this process for a while even as he did not seize to say the magical words that were coming out of his mouth. At the end of about twenty to thirty minutes, he felt the beating of Harris’ heart because he had shut his eyes as he carried out those actions. So with what he felt, he was forced to open his eyes again and look at Harris to confirm what his hands had felt. Lo and behold, Harris’ heart had begun functioning again though he wasn’t awake yet but with his development there was every certainty to tell that he was back to life and would be awake in a matter of time. So he stood up with confidence and went out of the tent. Jus

In the next five hours the riders which Commander Benjamin had sent to Raychester came back to Riverston and at this time, Harris was already awake with his father and Eric. The riders were first sighted by Eric and Zachary because Ben was still busy taking care of some things in the camp. Eric was able to discern that their mission was not accomplished, thereby knowing that something had happened in Raychester castle that would be right, thus he didn’t wait for commander Ben to come before asking the soldiers. “What is the situation at Raychester?” “His Majesty is not there. Reports state that he journeyed to Warcton Fortress with other leaders and a troop.” One of the riders answered him. But Eric still knew there was more to be told to him about the city of the King so he further said, “Did something bad happen in Raychester?” “There is news about a dragon attacking the city but the King and his men did drive it away. But the soldiers there claim that his movement to Warcton was

Eric Claus was with King Luca, Aaron, Zach, Ethan, Reece and Morgan in a tent still in the fallen fortress as they had to tell him all that had been happening so far in the country in order for him to know where to start again. He was fed up with the country and needed to go home now. In addition to this, he had the strong feeling that his days in the world of Palind were numbered, of which if he is not able to complete his purpose there, then that would be his end in the world where he belongs. “New griffin and Old griffin had just been taken over by the orcs, both cities no longer belong to us. As you can see, Warcton fortress has fallen, the fortress can no longer guarantee the safety of its people and those who come to take refuge in it.” King Luca Cole said to Eric. As the king took a pause because speaking about how his country had fallen made see himself as a failure for not being able to protect them as the king. Therefore, General Aaron continued from where he stopped. “You
Stuck in my Game World. 174. Change of plans.
While the leaders of Palind spread themselves across the cities of the country to carry out the assignment of leading the civilians to Hillcrest, Eric chose to go over to Ironbrook as that was the most stable city with more warriors at the moment. His choosing to come to Ironbrook was also for him to take note of the men there. While the people gathered together to move out of Ironbrook as they were instructed, their noise went beyond the walls of the city which was also the border of the country at large and at this moment, so orcs had camped about the city wall, planning to attack. The noise that came out of the city was enough to tell the orcs and that something was going in country, they were able to discern the strange noise to mean the migration of the citizens, so they had to attack the city in order to kill as many men as possible and also reduce the general strength of the Palind’s army. “The war is at our doorstep.” Eric alerted the commander of the city as he heard the m

Just as he expected, the sound confirmed that the tomb had been unlocked; he nodded his head, which was more of a signal to the commander of Ironbrook and his men. The signal was simply telling them to come close and push the stone who had just been unlocked. It took a good number of men to push the stone away, and then the people began moving in haste as the army of orcs was already close, they could all hear the sounds of their attempts to break through the walls of the city. As the civilians were moving into the cave, Eric Claus left them there and the commander with his armies followed, only a few soldiers were left to continue in maintaining order as the civilians entered the tunnel so that they would once again close the tunnel and make it unidentifiable by the enemies of they should get there. The great multitude of the army then mounted at the spot where the enemy was trying to break, as they all stood their ground waiting for her enemy to come in. Eric kept a close look a
Stuck in my Game World. 176. One more day.
In Raychester castle, the soldiers of different cities were arriving one after another, and the city was becoming crowded with only military personnels. Commander Benjamin was the last set that had just entered the city with his men, so they were now waiting for one group which was the group from Ironbrook where Eric had gone. King Luca was becoming worried because of their latest, they were supposed to have arrived there before now irrespective of the fact that the city's population was large, but that was not enough reason to keep them till that time, the city was closer to Raychester than Cliffsage, yet Zachary had arrived there with the Cliffsage armies long ago, in addition to this, the population of Cliffsage was also large. When Ben came to meet Zach, he said even before being asked anything. "I'm sorry sir, he refused to go with civilians into Hillcrest." Zachary understood who he was walking about even though no name was mentioned, so he took some time before saying, "He

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. "M

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

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

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

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
