Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 048: A plan well executed
"One thing I've learnt, is that plans tend to change as things progress. Some unexpected elements come into play." Corey explained to Borba. His original plan had been to find an orc- man or woman- trick and manipulate a Centron, though in a way he did that already. All in all, his plans were constantly changing. Which made him think the better way to survive would be to make plans on the spot. That would challenge his brain to think and consider all elements. "The plan is simple. The Centron said I should call her name, and she would appear. That's if I ran into an orc.""So your plan is to call her name, and I'll attack her?" Borba tossed her hammer. They walked out of the tunnel Corey came in through. Borba had called for her men to board it up. They had dug it once, and everyone forgot about it. If Corey hadn't fallen through it, Borba might have forgotten it existed."Yep, that is pretty much the plan. If you can get her down, for even just a few minutes, I can hack into her m
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 049: Introductions
By the time the boat arrived, Corey had three of the fruit. He was standing in the middle of Misha and Borba. Misha couldn't phantom why she agreed to leave her home turf with a man she just met, and Borba had bid her brother goodbye.The same brother who threatened to cut a hole in Corey's throat if he ever hurt his sister. The orc then realized he was worrying for the wrong reason, and instead gave Corey advice on how to hide if he ever angered Borba. Corey liked the king. He was sharper than he looked. And he adored Borba's strength. She would only be with them for twelve months before she had to return. Unless, as the king had told, Corey married her. With no official marriage, and nothing but a mating mark, then he couldn't release his greatest warrior. Pamela, Eleanora, Verosika, and Yumiko, were ecstatic when they saw the shadow silhouette of Corey. Pamela flashed a light as the boat drew nearer, to be sure they weren't heading towards the wrong person. She frowned, seeing a
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 050: Advice
They arrived at the submarine pretty late. The sky hd gone from dark to impossible to see anything the very second they crossed out of the nebula sector. Verosika had an incubus lead Misha and Borba to their respective rooms. She assigned an incubus to wait in front of their doors just in case they needed something. Or Incase they needed directions.She pulled Corey aside as the other women filed out and went to sleep.Well, all excluding Pamela who stayed to eavesdrop.NewAge told Corey she was there, and he pulled Verosika to a far place where she couldn't hear them. To do so, she would have to come closer and that would be a bad idea since they were in the middle of the hall with very few places to hide. Once he was sure they were out of earshot, he pumped his eyesbrows up as a sign for Verosika to talk. "How could you?" She smacked him in the arm. Corey had a dead look with tired eyes, he didn't flinch nor wince. Or even move to show that he had felt it. "How could I do what?"
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 051: Remembering the bad old days
Corey woke up earlier than his normal. Which was already early. He sat on his bed for hours, and let his mind wander as always. Corey pulled out the map and begna to check for the for his next course of action. The next fruit they needed was called a royal baffilion. It on grows once a year in the Starbust Kingdom.NewAge: INFORMATIONSTARBUST KINGDOM, HOME TO SIX OF THE STRONGEST WIZARDS. A CLOSED OFF KINGDOM THAT REFUSES GUEST ALL BUT ONCE A YEAR WHEN THEIR PRECIOUS PLANT GROWS.THE PLANT IS A DELCIATE AND MUST BE CARED FOR BY A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, UNLESS IT WILL DIE THE VERY NEXT DAY.THE KINGDOM DOESN'T FALL UNDER A RANK BECAUSE IT IS IN THE CLOUDS. YOU WOULD NEED TO FLY TO GET THERE, AND YOU'D NEED AN INVITATION TO THE ROYAL BALL FOR YOU TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE FRUIT.'What the fuck?' Corey was starting to think he should have done more than stolen king Lectus Triton. The man had given him a long list of almost impossible task. He couldn't imagine doing this through a PC.
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 052: Short
After seeing the state his mother was in, Corey could only lay in his bed as little drops of tears rolled out of his eyes. He shook off his sympathy, and reminded himself of how horrible she had been to him. He would never get closure. She only missed him because he wasn't there to take the heat of her abusive husband. And now that Larry has brought in another woman, Corey can only think that his mother's eyes have been opened. She did so much for Larry, and now he that he was replacing her- Corey knew from experience how that can open someone's mind to what they've been ignoring. He made a mental note to check in on her again in another month or two. Corey got out of bed in the most unusual way. Rolling out and letting his body drop to the floor. He stood up, feeling nothing and cleaned himself off in the shower, changed his bandages before leaving the room to find something that would keep his mind busy. Corey hadn't decided on the next fruit they were going to retrieve. If he d
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 053: The Starbust ball
"The Starbust ball. Well I'll be friggin damned." Verosika swore. The Starbust ball has always been featured on the big screens all over Imp-tropolis. The imps, demons and others loved to see prestige at its finest and make fun of it. The people of Starbust are the most stuck up people she'd ever seen. The only reason she showed up to the ball along with the other women, was because of Corey. Everything she did lately, always involved him. It might also have to do with her wanting the bragging rights that came with attending this prestigious, tight knit event. Each woman chose a mask they could identify each other with, and they chose the colors black and gold for their attire. They didn't want to stand out, but at the same time, they wanted to fit in. It was hard for them not to stand out with a tall orc such as Borba, a half beast, a Centron, the queen of northern Imp-tropolis, a dragon mage, a human- though they couldn't identify her as such, having no clue that humans were a t
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 054: Unusual matrimony
Corey could have told the women to behave, but he didn't want too. The king heard a yawn, but ignored it when he saw that it came from an orc. He felt disrespected. The king's speech took a good chunk of everyone's time, even the queen looked bored by the time he concluded. Telling everyone to enjoy themselves. He sat back down, his eyes returning to the orc that had disrespected him. Instead he found her whispering into the ear of one his daughter's suitors. He could tell from the pin. The king wondered who this suitor was and why he was here with a different breed of people. The mask prevented him from seeing the man's full face, but he couldn't see the upper half. From the eyes to the forehead. His skin was purple, so he had to be a demon. His suit looked basic, yet it had a strange uniqueness from how odd the fabrics looked.He couldn't let his daughter marry such a man, but he would leave that to the test. He wanted her to be happy, but he also wanted to look good to the public
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 055: The Undead Damsel
"I knew it. I knew the second we stepped into this place that you would do something ridiculous." Pamela started her rant. They'd just left the ball, and were seated on the large saddle on Greta's back. Corey was expecting her to this. As were the other women. Borba had only known Pamela for seven days, and even she was getting tired of her certain types of behavior. Pamela noticed the tension in the air. And how it became a bit hostile as it was directed at her. The group were not at all ready to hear her rant but she was going to give it to them anyways."You kissed the princess. And now she's your wife! First, you get a lap dance from Verosika. Then you sleep with Borba-""You did what?!" Verosika spun her neck to face Corey. The teen however, only stared at Pamela. Brilliant and beautiful. Jealousy will be her demise. Corey thought that to himself. She sounded like he had committed a grave crime. He was starting to lose the appeal she had once in his eyes. 'i might need a new en
