Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 131
Two people arguing startled Corey out of his stupor. Not sleep. Corey didn't sleep because he was trying to formulate a plan on what to do with himself now that he hadn't picked up a quest or done anything. He knew if he ran into people they would be out for his head, but he wasn't about to let that stop him. So he stayed up all night, thinking to no success and staring at his ceiling like a madman. He didn't want to leave his room to see who was the cause of the argument. Or who was having the argument. The screaming got louder and louder. And you'd think they were hard to resist but Corey did the impossible. He resisted. He stayed put, hoping they were mature enough to solve their dispute without him. When heavy thumping started to march his way, Corey rolled off the bed. Then rolled again, but under it. The door slammed open, and he couldn't see who it was but he knew by the growl. It was Borba. Meaning she was fighting with Misha. Again. They were sometimes at each other's thro
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 132: Here's an idea
Corey decided the first quest would be the solo one. For reasons he kept to himself. The women needed to be informed, he'd told Mikayla of course and she took it well. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that she was grateful that she didn't have to go. And maybe he didn't know. As he gathered the other women, plus Laverna who he had decided would come with him so they could discuss more. He hadn't even informed her yet. NewAge: WASN'T LAVERNA MARRIED? HAVE YOU ASKED HER IF SHE WANTS TO SEE HER HUSBAND?'Remind me to do that once we're alone.'"Corey, it's too early for this."He hummed, "yeah I'm sure. But I've gathered you here to inform you that I'll be embarking on a solo quest with Laverna.""What? Why her?""Yeah, why me? I don't like work."Corey refrained from rolling his eyes at the childishness, and mostly laziness when Laverna was involved. Smart as she is, she just didn't fancy having to work for anything. Which should have annoyed. Corey, but he refused to bo
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 133: Building the foresight
A loud thud snapped Corey out of his sleep. He groaned, rubbing his eyes and blinking at the darkness. His breath came out slowly, and Corey promised to smacked the owner of that noise until they saw red. He jumped out of bed, his pajama bottoms hanging low off his waist. He marched with vigor. Walking into the dining hall where the women were preparing breakfast. Borba was holding up a keg of beer over her mouth, and Misha was watching her with disgust. "You can't possibly think that's healthy for you.""Which one you made that noise!?! I was trying to sleep." Corey raised his voice high so that they could hear him as he voiced his rage. They turned to him, blinking. "What noise? Was it Borba drinking? cause I'd wouldn't be surprised."Finishing the beer, she smacked her beer keg. Breaking it on Misha's head. The sentinel voiced her discomfort as Borba circled her bicep around her throat. "Sorry Corey, the crash must have come from Pamela's room. She's been working on something."
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 134
It took Corey two days to accept that he could not figure out the key and lock. He was annoyed, and just wanted to break something. So instead of going on the serious group quest, Corey opted for a lesser quest. Which involved crashing a party at a bar and claiming to be friends of the groom. Because he has no friends and he didn't want to seem like a loser. Which, Corey what laughed when he saw the quest. Sure, the groom didn't technically call himself a loser but when Corey told this story to the girls they were dying. They all needed a good moment to laugh it all out before they arrived at the venue. Laughing at the groom would have been a bad idea. "He's paying for friends, I'm so dead." Gogo snickered. It had been a whole hour, they were dressed for this event and still laughing like idiots. "Where do you find these idiots?" Pamela laughs. "Even if I didn't have friends, I never would have done something this lame. He's paying us so much to fake being his friends? Then what? W
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 135: The sad man's wedding
As depressing as hiring yourself a group of friends was, Corey and his women were able to steal the show and make the groom feel perfectly comfortable. Hai wife was surprised, and so was everyone. Mostly because of the variety of women that surrounded Corey. The stroy they went with was that Corey was one of the groom's oldest friends, and he was coming to the wedding with his women. A few of them were the groom's friends. They brought gifts and by the time the boring vows had been done, and they could go to the reception and watch the couple and their family dance, Corey was relaxed. Verosika, Pamela and Yumiko caught the bride's attention. And they were dancing around her while having a conversation. Borba was drinking with one of the groomsmen, while Misha avoided everyone as much as they avoided her. Well except for the bounty hunters who were trying to make conversations with her for the wrong reasons. Gogo was dancing with a little kid, she'd made him a horse from a balloon so
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 136: Tight Buckeroo
Corey gave directions to where the best man would be so Eleanora went after him the very next day. Corey followed closely, keeping an eye on her. He crossed the threshold of the hotel the man had been staying in. Eleanora was handling him.The best man checked out a couple of minutes ago. Corey told Eleanora to follow him until he was far out of the town before she did anything. He also warned her to be careful with whatever she did. No loud noises or smoke in case she chose to burn him. Before the cleaners could come to the room, Corey was snooping around. There had to be something that the man forgot to take. His efforts were rewarded when Corey found a stack of notes sent to him the bounty hunter from someone in the bad lands. Corey took them and disappeared just as the cleaners were arriving. He found Eleanora, as she was disposed of the body and his car. She sent everything into the lake nearby, with stacks of rocks to keep it down. Her satisfied expression told Corey that kill
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 137: Death
The small box contained a key to something. The key was bland, and ordinary. If Corey wasn't a curious Nancy he might have overlooked it and thought nothing of it. But the question he got stuck on made him analyze the key even more. What would a bounty hunter be doing with an ordinary key? And why would he keep it in a box? The box looked far better and possibly more expensive than the key. The question pegged Corey over and over until he couldn't take it anymore. They skimmed over the contents of each bag, in a hurry to find something that would need a key. Laverna had to take a break to text her new lover and Corey hadn't eaten anything. Of course food was for the weak so he focused intensely on his search. More questions came with each item that he found. They made some kind of puzzle. Corey tried to fit the pieces together, yet he was failing at something. Taking a moment back, to rest and refuel his brain, Corey asked NewAge for a package of the game. He read through the bad g
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 138: the reunion
The shock of finding out that most of the gamers that he had met online, the gamers who plenty of people obsessed over were no more. It made Corey angry first Erogo was fuckin with his past trauma, then for some reason he started killing people off. Why? What did he stand to gain from doing that? Most of the gamers were just kids. Even someone like kat was considered a child. She was still very young. Not as young as him. Even though she was alive, Corey felt she was hanging off the spectrum. She didn't look too great, she puffed her chest as she sobbed. He had a moment where he felt so bad for her. But this was none of their faults. A greater power was at play. Corey paused to ask himself, could it be possible that Erogo was creating an army with those gamers? That sounded ridiculous because the god had more than he needed. So what was the point of killing so many?What did those people do to him?Corey waited for NewAge to bring him some good news about the dead gamers. Corey could
