Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 028: Bitter
"She's a succubus. You're merely one dot, in the lost of men who couldn't satisfy her."That sentence got Corey on the king's bad side, but it made Verosika laugh. She had to keep it within herself or risk another threat of war."How dare you?""I didn't do anything your majesty. I'm just pointing out the truth. You should see her face when she's really pleased. You wouldn't know anything about that. Since your size is your biggest strength." He continued. WARNING: INCOMING HITCorey moved his body, causing the king to miss the swing of his right hand. Eleanora drew out her Axe, shocking the guards as the flames lit all over the weapon. She too was stunned. 'i can use fire under water? Yes!'Pamela just stood there, making a mental note to create a weapon she could use to help and fight with. The guards went on alesrt from seeing Eleanora's weapon out in it's glory. Verosika clung to Corey, the teen didn't even look phased by the attempt on his life. "Stop." The queen said, reachi
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 029: Fire
The hot burning stench of smoke and fire flies into Corey's nose, ripping him out of his dreamless sleep. Still, he responded the same he always did when he was back home. With the energy of a sloth. Corey, calm as ever, rode the duvet down his legs and got out of the bed. He jogged, almost in tslow motion to the bathroom where he took a short but effective bath. Corey dried his skin, wore fresh clothes, and sat on the bed to change his bandages. He glanced to the right side of his room where the Triton laid. 'how did that get there? Oh right.' He finished with his bandages, and added the king's weapon to his inventory. Finally retreating from his room, to check out the cause of the fire. A purple incubus ran before him. "Sir, The queen has requested your presence in the dining area. Your mage is, not in the best mood."Corey cocked his left eye brow up. His chin nudges forward, and the incubus bows. Leading him down the hall. Eleanora is normally peppy, what could have turned he
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 030: The Yonko village
They arrived at the Yonko village hours later. The submarine pushed up to the surface, Corey and the women got out through the latch and had to swim the rest of the way. To avoid being spotted, the boat was parked two miles from the island. With them swimming away from it, it sunk back into the sea. Eleanora had wanted to bring Greta but the large dragon would have been the easiest to spot. INFORMATION: THE YONKO VILLAGERANKS NOTHING- IT IS ONE OF THOSE VILLAGES THAT DOESN'T NEED A RANK. CONNECTED TO THE REALM OF THE YONKOS. POPULAR ATTRACTIONS: THE YELLOW BANIDINI FRUITSWARNING: THE PEOPLE HERE ARE VERY HOSTILE TO OURSIDERS AS THWY BELIEVE EVERYONE IS TRYING TO STEAL THEIR FRUITS. THIS TO NOTE: THE YONKOS OF THIS VILLAGE RANGE FROM VERY WEAK TO EXCEEDINGLY STRONG. BE CAREFUL'Great to know.' Corey thought. They dried off the second they got on land."The plan is difficult. We need to get to the tree, and collect six fruits."They stared at him, all waiting for him to add mo
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 031: Pesky beast
"We have to find Verosika." Corey said aloud. He noticed the missing Yonko. It had been aiming for both Yumiko and Pamela, where could it have gone? It was huge in size. Unable to hide unless it turned invisible. "Yumiko, lead us to where you dropped the sack.""Do I have to get off your shoulders?" She inquired, wiggling her lower half around. "Please don't do that." Pamela begged. The woman was wearing only thing black panties and a bra. Aside that, her fur was the only other thing covering her body. And it didn't cover all parts, only certain areas. Corey felt the scratch of the lace against his naked neck. "You don't have to get off, just lead the way. Give me directions.""Okay, go straight."He couldn't nod due to the clamp of her thighs around his neck, so he walked. Yumiko was steady on Corey's shoulders, allowing him to run. It seemed like his increase in pace didn't affect her in the slightest. She only ate her bananas, and tried to remember the building she had dropped t
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 032: Clearance
Yumiko poked Verosika's unconscious body for the sixteenth time, Corey should know. He's been counting each time she did it. NewAge shouldn't have said she was dumb, she was way past saving. "What am I supposed to do again?" She asked Corey, pouting at his frown. He rubbed his eyebrows, trying to regain the empty patience he had."You're supposed to heal her.""I've never heard of a beast kin that heals though." Eleanora stated. "how did you know about this again?""I read about it somewhere.""Oh, heal her." She responded. She'd said the same thing sixteen times now. If she liked Verosika again, Corey would lose his mind. He knew he could simy think of something that could help cure her, but he wanted to see what the beast kin can do. And how she heals people. "I'll give you all the bananas you can ask for. Just do it."Yumiko poked Verosika again, and every one groaned. The beast kin giggled, leaning close to Verosika's arm. She clamped her teeth onto the flesh, and the demon shot
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 033: Studying
"Corey, do you have any siblings?" Pamela had been looking at him for a while now, without saying a single word. He thought he might have been off the hook but from the firm look on the faces of each woman, they were not going to let him go without getting some information about him. "No, I'm an only child. Why do you ask?""Okay, this might sound crazy, but I think I've heard that name from somewhere. Maybe I'm misplacing it for Baldwin. I don't know, but we lived in a small town. I knew a Feldman girl in college. She lived in my dorm."Not sure what make of that information, Corey whisked his gaze down to Yumiko, who pouted at her stuffed toy. Using her claw to poke it. "It won't move, Corey." She turned to him with tears filling her eyes."It's a stuffed toy, dear, it's not alive."She poked it again, and Verosika scratched the back of her head knowing exactly what Yumiko was about to say before she said it. "But it won't move." The demon grunted out a frustrated noise. How can
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 034: A fun game
Dinner ended with short conversations being passed around. Soon everyone retired to another part of the submarine, where Pamela had the idea for them to something fun. "I was too busy back at home to actually have a life. So, ladies, who wants to get drunk and sleep hear. We can watch the sea life and talk until the alcohol kicks in and we're passing out.""I don't think I can get drunk." Eleanora admitted. "YES! I'm up for some fun, and girl bonding!" Verosika hollered, jumping onto the couch. "I'm a dude." Corey reminded them. "Girl bonding does not include me." He moved to get up, but Yumiko was a step ahead of him. She rolled off a cartwheel, tossing her body high into the air and when she landed…WARNING: INCOMING LANDING, DANGER TO THE SHOULDERS.Corey could have moved but he didn't. He stayed in that position. Allowing Yumiko to land on his shoulders, her legs clamped to his neck and butt hit his spine before she fixed herself. Sitting in a much better way. The women waited
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 035: Scared
"Do we have this clear?" Verosika asked. She'd put on the cloak that came in the box, and had a large book laying on her thighs. "Yep!" "Tell me your names."Yumiko went first. "DAISY! I'm the youngest. I am called a bimbo sometimes. I don't know what bimbo means but it sounds funny to say.""It can't be a coincidence that she chose that character, over the others. I just won't believe it." Pamela says to Verosika, who just laughs. Yumiko seems happy with her choice. Placing her character on top of the cards like the others. The house of the game was set on the floor. The black and red cardboard reminded Corey of a monopoly game. "I'm spider. The broody bad boy." Eleanora says, she chuckles. Spider's backstory was so stupid to her. "I'm Lilith. The closet vampire.""And I am Kenneth. The saint. How did I end up with his character?" Corey glared at Kenneth. He was the most boring character Corey had ever seen. He was a simple billionaire kid, who avoided getting in trouble even tho

191: It can't end like this
Corey woke the next morning to the loud banging of something metallic. He could almost feel the danger before it arrived. He could sense the trap before he woke up, and NewAge provided him with no warning. That was the worst of it all. His stomach clenched, buckled with the tight feeling of despair slipping through the cracks of his chest. Something was here. An enemy that had put his system on hold. How was that possible? Corey shoved himself out of bed. Rushing towards the door of the bedroom, his fingers barely grazed the doorknob before it flew open. Scratching his nose as he ducked out of the way. Corey blinked, staring heavily at the figure that stood before him. Just yesterday, he'd been playing videogames. How did things roll from zero to one hundred? A dark figure pushed out from the door way. "We haven't been acquainted, Mr Feldman. But you're about to find out this is just the first phase of my plan."Corey wasn't given a chance to speak as the grimy voice of the man. T

Author's note
Dear readers,I would just like to say thank you to thank everyone who has read this story so far. It's my first time writing a male leading story, and I'm not sure I did it right but I hope to get it perfectly some day. But this note isn't to tell you thank you, I also wanted to inform you that starting next month I will be taking a full month's hiatus from this story. It's not going the way I planned, reader wise. And I'd like a break from it to get my head cleared and gather some new ideas. I'll publish some chapters for the rest of the month. But after that, I'll be off on a break to return by June. Thank you for reading this note. And have a good day..

190: Impressed by the best gamer
Taking a break was not something Corey wanted to do but he had no clue if taking another quest would benefit him at the moment. Likely because he was feeling the urge to be lazy. But where was the fun in that. Corey tapped his friend Toby while he slept. He seemed stressed, and on his screen was a failed level to a part of Clash of Thunder that Corey assumed they must have added in after he died. And apparently Toby was having issues with finishing it. Corey pulled out his chair from under the desk, plopped down on it. He pulled the headphones over his ears, and clicked on the replay on the screen. He wasn't adjusted to the set that Toby used for his gaming. But a quick two minute scan, and Corey knew where to keep his hands without having to remove his eyes from the screen ever. He sat feeling the old school joy he would normally get whenever he got home from school and settled behind his desk to play his favorite games. Or just to stream. Sometimes, he didn't even stream, he just

189: They're on hiatus?
The new additions to the group were still on Corey's mind as he navigated through the lobby of a deserted and destroyed space ship. Dressed in a black suit to keep his oxygen from running out. His objective was to fix the ship, keep the oxygen and find out who the imposters were. There were a total of three that Corey had to search for. So he asked the women to all join in. Toby even agreed, he wanted a way to test out his alien form. No doubt so he could attack Corey, and the teen more than welcomed it. He was easy to intrigue sometimes. And for the rare occasion, rare but consistent, what should have intrigued Corey instead bored him.He took slow strides through the lobbies with Alisha by his side. She really had no complaints to joining his harem and Corey was slowly getting to know her personality. Almost like he was still getting to know Clio. Alisha was a natural hunter, she had skills that Corey didn't posses. Sure, he was a jack of all trades. But watching how she skillfully

188: CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
The next day, Corey was apologizing to Toby. "How was i supposed to know he won trick you into marrying him? It was supposed to be a harmless joke." Toby glared at Corey. He'd gone from trying to think of a way to get himself a girlfriend to married to an orc dude that threatened to kill him if he ever left him. And he could tell Corey was secretly laughing at his predicament. No matter how many times he tried to act sympathic and sorry. It was clear to Toby that his friend was having a good laugh out of this. "If you're truly sorry, you'd use your powers to get me out of this.""Yeah, but the king would be so sad." Toby tossed his pillow at Corey. The teen didn't bother blocking it. He fell on his back then began cackling. "I'm sorry if I don't want to be married to an-"The door to his room opened, and Borba walked in. Her eyebrow raised. "You're not thinking of ditching my brother. You're his mate. Acceptance is your only choice. I chose Corey, and he didn't complain. We orcs ar

187: Near death celebration
The missile was fast and Corey found that he could still laugh with his broken sense of humor in such a situation. Misha turned to him, incredilous expression on her face. Then she loosened up and laughed. As if on cue, Corey got a message from Borba. He teleported her to their position. She whipped around to see the missile before she could even greet Corey and tell him her brother was inviting him to enjoy an orc festival. She heard the coy laughter coming from Corey and Misha. Borba flung her mace at the missile. The wind blew against her skin as the weapon struck the tip of the sharp war missile. Making it explode. Her weapon flew back, and she caught it. Laughing curiously at the pretty site. She turned around and Corey looked in awe. From the background, it looked like a scene from an action movie. With the explosion in the sky, pieces of metal flying about. And Borba walking towards him. The wind in her hair, a smirk on her face. Corey wanted to snap a picture but all he did

186: The types of bots
They'd found a place for Corey to fix Misha's button. And while he worked on it, getting another chance to look at her insides- no sexual innuendos there- he watched the city and spotted many types of bots. Corey was intrigued, and he was never one to really hide his fascination from himself. If he wanted to study something he would admit that much to himself. So as he settled carefully on the blanket, and Misha was stuck in a limbo like state unable to fully shake out of it and wake up until Corey was done, he asked NewAge to explain each of the bots and their purposes. He was already acquainted with the killer bots. NewAge: THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF SENTIENT BOTS THAT ARE CREATED ALMOST EVERYDAY. BUT ONLY TEN STAND OUT TO THE WORLD. WE'LL GO FROM AN UNEVEN LIST. 1: THE MEDIC BOTS; THESE BOTS COME WITH NO RANK OR LEVEL AND THEY ARE USUALLY THE EASIEST TO KILL AS THEY HOLD NO FIGHTING SKILLS. THE CREATORS DELETED THAT FROM THEIR SYSTEMS THE SAME WAY THEY DELETED EMOTIONS FROM THE KILL

185: The warehouse
After reading the clue Corey went about his day, keeping it in mind that he would think about what to do with the aforementioned clue once he was done ne thinking about the lock keeper. Because the man kept him intrigued and on his toes. He wanted to know more. But Corey knew he would never find anything about the lock keeper without some help. Which was disappointing. It was still strange referring to an unknown force as the lock keeper, instead of the man he'd once known to be that. Erogo was just Erogo. Self centered and easily blinded by words. Corey went to bed almost too easily. Sometimes his mind and body surprised him. After what he'd seen, the question of how he could still sleep well was insane. Corey turned around in the bed, thinking about what his day would entail. But that changed when Misha broke into his room the moment he was done getting dressed for the day. She looked distressed. "Corey, I got another message. I think I need to go to that warehouse. Convince

184: Check his mind
Corey sat his father down in Greta's den where the dragon was peacefully taking a nice nap. She had woken up briefly to sniff Corey's hand, and give his full body a lick with her long rough tongue. Corey had dried himself off the saliva and proceeded to walk circles around his father. He was watching the man as he tensed in the chair. Between the mighty dragon and a powerful kid that he knew was about to do something horrible to him. So he hissed, "Do you worst. I'll never talk."Corey laughed at the irony hidden in those words. "But I haven't even said anything, you're the one talking." His father tensed even more, and Corey was having too much fun making a fool out of the man. But how he could he not have fun? Corey knelt by his father's feet, and his eyes started to glow in a way that was nearly blinding. His father blinked severally and tried to process what he was seeing. Then his eyes rolled, in the most painful way possible. He wasn't given the opportunity to scream. Corey w
