Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 140
If Corey had a dime for every time he was abruptly woken up, he'd be ….. quiet broke but really frustrated. This time it was Verosika who woke him up. She had jumped on top of him while he slept. Laid no mercy to his chest. Corey grunted, and pleaded for the patience to not attack the person who broke through his sleep by throwing them out the window."Wakey wakey. We have a dilemma."Corey rolled over, and dropped Verosika on her back. She made a moaning sound, before screeching when he dropped his weight on her went back to sleep. "Corey you're smothering me, you ass!""Not my problem." He mumbled. She squirmed, and hit his shoulders several times but he wouldn't even budge. Soon Corey was able to pass off to sleep, only to have it disrupted again when the door flew open. Pamela made her presence known, kat tracking slowly behind her friend. "Corey, Mikayla said we have a quest to do and we're finally there. Verosika, what are you doing?" She rasped. The imp queen rolled her eye

"If two plus two is four. And four plus four is eight. What in the cosmic is this?" Mikayla voiced what everyone was thinking. The quest had been unexpected in such a way that corey could not describe. They'd arrived at a classroom. The so called puzzles they were supposed to solve seemed nonexistent as three teachers filed into the room, and told them to take their seats. They would have to volunteer each level on who would solve the problem. Which meant just Misha, Corey, Mikayla, and Pamela would be swapping. Pamela wasn't even sure why she volunteered. Well maybe it was because the other women flatly refused. Borba claimed it was unethical for an orc to do such menial task. Verosika said queen aren't nerds. Which Mikayla took offense too. Gogo said out loud that she was definitely not book smart, so unless they wanted to fail they would leave her out of it. Eleanora had no clue about math or anything, dragon mages were not taught that. And Kat said nothing but Pamela answered for
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 142; Don't talk about scars
Gogo wasn't meant to see the actual wounds, and Corey mother threw up. Having seen the actual damage she had caused due to her codependency made her feel worse than a monster. The sores were almost painful to stare but gogo kept her eyes on them. Corey wasn't paying any attention to who was watching him, he was feeling vengeful glaring down at his mother like she had cursed him. In a way, she definitely cursed him. She was supposed to be his guardian, instead she chose to turn on him. If Larry had left her after a week, she likely would have married someone far worse. His mother had really bad taste. And Corey always suffered for it. "Corey, I'm sorry." She vomited again. He only glared, this was even half of his injuries. The scars he used to have around his back and chest had healed over the years, they were hardly visible. But his arms. They suffered refusing to even heal. "Look at me." Corey commanded and his mother sobbed. This was her personal hell. Having to see the actual

Kneeling by the window, Corey spun a pen in his hand. He was in a rut. Hate brewed within his stomach at the memory of seeing his mother. Hate that he didn't like. He didn't want to feel. But for the past three days, whenever he woke up, Corey would pause and just think about this mother's face. She was in the game. She didn't even know how. And so was Larry. The people he hoped he wouldn't see were all here. The pen spun faster as his thoughts continued to dive deeper. The women were respectful, they didn't bother him too much and they didn't show their pity but Corey could feel it. They were thinking about his inks differently. He had started wearing sleeves, and hiding them because they drew attention. Corey glared at the pen until it snapped. He spun the two split pieces, his mind somewhere far away. Yumiko was the only one who didn't get that Corey needed some space to get his emotions underwraps. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't eat. Just seeing his mother had sent him into a d

NewAge: COREY THAT QUEST COULD HAVE HELPED YOU.'Hard pass.'NewAge: IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A GOOD DISTRACTION.'Soft pass.'NewAge: YOU'RE AN INSUFFERABLE LITTLE SHIT. 'Firstly, I'm not little. Secondly, I'm not taking any quest like that.'NewAge: A QUEST JUST JUMPED INTO YOU HANDS AND YOU'RE SAYING NO TO IT. YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY NO, YOU PRACTICALLY THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW. ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?'Nope. I need a more adventurous quest. Something that'll force me to tap into my power.'NewAge: OH WOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY OFFERED YOU A CHANCE FOR THAT! HE'S GONE MAD! "Corey?" Kat's voice snapped corey out of his little game. He was having fun messing with the system. For once it was the other way around. The door crept open, and Corey laughed internally. NewAge was swearing at him. And it was fun. The system truly was his friend. It was annoying as shit. Easy to poke fun at. When it wasn't pissing Corey off. "What's up?""Uh?" She dropped her eyes into his lap, where Yumiko was curled u

Strapping his backpack, Corey received multiple hugs from the women as they filed into the vehicle he had conjured up. It was an RV, but longer and a bigger. Not the easiest to drive but Mikayla splunked it up with her magic. Adding a little bit to make it stable enough for Borba to drive. Seeing as she was the only one Strong enough to steer that monstrosity. Corey saw them off before teleporting himself to the end of the mountain. Mount Oval, a dumb name if you asked him. He wasn't the only one there. About thirty other participants stood at the bottom. Corey scanned all of them, checking their power scale and he was impressed to find that most of them were over the level three hundred. Meaning they could put up a very good fight. He rolled his sleeves up, and stretches his arms. A woman stepped in front of them. She was dressed like a jester, clown makeup and all. She reminded him of gogo, only less hot. And the madness in her eyes was lacking as well. "Welcome to the death game
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 146
The jester was determined to kill Corey, and he was determined to have fun with her. Her first swing had zero effect on him, she was below his level. Corey shrugged it off like it was nothing and clambered on. She kept trying, pulling different weapons and if he considered her a real threat he might have fought back but his determination to just have fun while getting to the top was stronger. And he wanted that wish. He wanted to ask for his full potential. If that was even possible.He was sure they were pranking him, for one reason only. No one has something this powerful as a prize. NewAge: AGREED. THEY MOST LIKELY KILLED EVERYONE BEFORE THEY COULD GET TO THE TOP. AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A DEATH GAME. BUT DID YOU KNOW NO ONE HAS EVER WON IT?That didn't surprise Corey. This con sounded normal, especially with the jester claiming he was cheating. She was attacking him because she knew he was going to make it to the top. Corey turned his neck, to see one of his competitors fall off a clif

Perhaps it was the sudden rain storm that cut off their path to the triads, or maybe it was Corey's inability to sleep that caused him to agree to Yumiko's idea of a sleepover game. He really had his regrets the second she pulled out the animal onesies fro everyone to wear. Corey wished he could not only retract his words, but that he could retract himself. He probably should have said no when she cornered him and told him he was going to be her favorite panda. He also should have said no when she suckered him with some adorable antics into baking cookies. God-damn it he should have said no tany things, and yet he didn't. Corey found that he fell for the oldest trick in the book. And it was all due to Yumiko. She used a trick he never suspected. When it came to the cookies, she said she would bake them herself. Then Corey saw her almost cut herself so he had to offer her a hand. Then he discovered she couldn't do anything so he did it all by himself. The onesie was the worst. She
