Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 068: Preparations for Icily
Weeks went by before the island looked presentable. They had taken down the tourist buildings, and kept a sign that said this place had been returned to its owners so people would show up for a vacation. Corey also visited the place underneath, and had the tamaris build his house there. He told them living under was a safer option and that they should only go top level when they needed crops or to check for trespassers.His paradise was coming together, but he couldn't stay to see it all complete. He gave all his women a mark, except for Pamela. If she did return to earth, Corey didn't know what the mark would do. This brought a bit of unpleasantness to her but she didn't say anything about it. He told the women that if any of them died they would appear on the island, and they believed him without questioning. Corey sometimes wondered if they automatically believed everything he said. Because that would be something very risky to do. Yet, he never said these words out.He was fine w

"Ass-a-hoy!""What?!" Corey chuckled. Mikayla pulled the ship into park, activating it's cloaking mechanism."You heard me." She laughs. The group were shivering already and they hadn't left the sky. Icily was that cold. Corey tied a single rope from the ship down to the land. They needed to be slow and cautious. Each person slid down, they heard a tiny rumble but nothing more. Corey got down first, he tested the ground with his boots. Seeing that he could walk a few paces without any issues, Corey gave the ladies a thumbs up. Once they were all down, Mikayla used her magic to hide the rope. She memorized where it was. All the defenses were turned on, meaning if someone or something tried to get into the ship, they would all be fucked. Why? Because each defense system was louder than the last. It would alert them that intruders were trying to get aboard the ship, but it would also trigger an avalanche. Yumiko grew up within cold mountains, and even she was shivering. Borba open he

"I'll be the first to blame this on the asshole who made this fucking island!" Borba's voice bounced through the ice cave they had fallen into. As impossible as it seemed, the island was colder underneath. The cave was worse. The group thought they had been freezing before, but now trapped under a cave with their only path blocked by snow, they knew that the earlier feelings they had could be considered as warmth compared to this."I agree. What is the purpose of this place? To kill people? Because that's all it has ever done!" Misha snarls. She pulled her knees towards her chest as she shuddered. "And who builds sentinels to not withstand something this fucking cold! How do they expect me to survive?!""I don't think they planned for you to go here. Who would you kill?" Pamela said. She blew a breath into her palms and immediately regretted it. "Fuck it. I'm angry too. My fingers are about to fall off!"Verosika crawled into Corey's lap, she folded herself into a tiny ball and Corey
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 071
Back to back on quest, the group had successfully attained ten fruits, and they were about to quit. Well everyone but Corey. "We were almost cooled alive!""I thought freezing to death was bad, but the stinklanai's we're worse!""Three weeks in Huna, for what? A fruit that comes with a middle aged man?! I had to beat that mother fucker into the fruit. Because that's what I'm supposed to do! He cried! And crapped himself! Iriel is going to eat that?!"Corey rubbed his head. He had just woken up and all the women were ready to give him a full lecture about the mission they did not like. Which, to Corey's credit, was every single one of them. If they didn't take a break, he would never get any rest. Hell, even Yumiko had something to say. "I might not be the brightest, but I did not fancy having my fur all sticky with dusticles. It took me four weeks to remove them. I almost got an infection."Corey yawned, and continued to rub his eyes. "Yes, I remember. I was the one to help you rem
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 072: Baba
"You dad is what?!""My dad is close. Corey, we have to stop. We have to say hi. I'm sure he must have picked up my scent too. He's probably expecting me to come home." Yumiko grabbed Corey by the hands, she pleased with sombre eyes.He wasn't sure what response to give her. Her father might not be to keen on meeting him, and from what Corey heard from NewAge he would have to fight the man to be able to keep her. "What happened to the vacation? Don't you still wanna go?""Of course I do. But this is family. He'll chase after me if I don't stop to say hello. To introduce you and my friends. Plus I miss my home. The cold mountains, that won't kill you. And the small clan my father runs. Please Corey, let's stop. We can leave after seeing him..I promise."Saying no would make him feel bad, and Corey didn't want any sort of guilt. Not the kind most people would think. He would feel guilty for not feeling guilty. With a sigh, and pinch of his nose, Corey complied."Tell Mikayla to stop w

Corey sat amongst the chief's table. Next to him and his three wives. The rest of the clan were spread out. Celebrating the most ridiculous festival ever. Gengar In One Piece. He didn't understand until one of her mothers explained that Yumiko got lost so many times, they had to make a festival out of it to celebrate whenever she returned in one piece. Healthy, and alive. That was the very height of their lives. He had to silently think about how many times she must have gotten lost. Corey was happy she did end up on a trafficking chain, or sexually molested. She was too easy to deceive. If he were her father he would be wary of ever letting her out of his sight. He would also be extremely grumpy towards anyone who came within her proximity. "So Corey, tell us about yourself." Baba asked, he watched his people dance. Yumiko was amongst them. The group could see she belonged. Their dance was every different, and mostly something beast kins would enjoy. Some were fighting. Tumbling
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 074: In a funk
When Corey returned to the camp, things were a little odd. The women gave him worried looks seeing his messy hair and the twigs of tree sticking out his clothes. The dash of red on the side of his ribs. They rushed to him, asking what happened. But Corey didn't know how to explain it. He was attacked by a dark female knight? Was very vague. It made no sense to him so how could he explain it. This dark knight lady hadn't disclosed why her queen wanted him dead. And she proved that she could infact kill him. But she didn't.Did she not want to start something with the beast kins for killing on their land? Or was she planning to kill Corey in a more gruesome way?Whichever one it ended up being, Corey told himself it wasn't something he could prevent. NewAge had not warned him about the lady, and even if the system had, Corey would have ended up the same way. His brain was a mess. He had a feeling in his gut that this woman was bad news, but he was also not entirely worried about it.
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 075: Persistence
"The prized what of a what?"Mikayla huffed, the cold air revealing the steam of her breath. "Okay, maybe I need to describe this better. But please put that down.""She won't even know that I took it." An idea was slowly forming in Corey's head. If the knight ever attacked, he could use this. If she would track him down, just for this heirloom, then she obviously wouldn't want it to be shattered. "She- well it doesn't come with a tracker. She would just assume that you took it. But but Corey, it's not a good idea to tamper with the Ace knights." Mikayla looked, left and right. Then she snatched Corey's hand into hers and dragged him away from the forest. She pulled him all the way to his cabin and slammed the door shut. There she paced back and forth, biting her thumb. Corey placed the heirloom in his inventory while she was busy in her own thoughts. He rolled the jacket off his shoulders, and tossed towards the single arm chair in the room. Corey fell back on the bed and waited fo
