Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 143
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

Mikayla gathered a more cookies onto the plate before she told Corey the answer. "The king will fall, you're correct about that being the missing word. But the domino fell twenty years ago when it first appeared. Killing millions of people. The only person who survived went into it, and he never returned. The triads are uncharted lands, they appear in the sky unexpectedly and they're given names based on the stars around them at night. They form a triangle. Imagine three islands just appearing above your head out of nowhere, you would freak out too.""If the domino fell, then why is this one called a domino as well? Oh right the stars." She nodded. "Yep, some of them are given the same names. So if the king will fall, then that means we need to search the king first. Whenever they fall, they destroy things. They they remain unexplored because people are afraid. We need to wait for the news of the king's fall, before we do anything.""That sounds about right. But Is that where I'll fi

Arriving at the triads would have been a good idea if they were on the undead Luna. Because the king's island hadn't fallen yet. By Mikayla's suggestion, they returned to her ship to watch it. Corey was taking notes of the triads and how the triangle they seemed to form something weird at the center. At first the thought they formed a triangle, but now that he could see the shapes from a farther point. He was seeing more than just a triangle. The land beneath the king was an evacuated city. They were prepared for any of the triads to drop, so the very second it appeared, the leaders started to clear their people. Corey drew a sketch of the triad, sketching the crown of the king. And the dominos. They just had to wait for the drop to happen. Corey sat on the deck for two days. Only stepping out to bathe, and use the bathroom. His breathing was laboured, and his eyes were tired. But he was determined to get the next clue by watching the king fall. Sketching some more, Corey received a

"Welcome to the sentient ship. The king's triad. All life forms aboard this ship must be of the a specific sentinel, or else….." the robotic voice ends, and Corey drags Yumiko away from the screen. She had pushed something that he didn't see, he just hoped that the AI that spoke to her wouldn't report them or anything like that. Corey wanted to know so badly, why the entire ship looked like it had gone through war. The busted wires sparked, and sent little bits of raw electricity. Corey had to keep Yumiko away from touching them because she thought they were shiny. They heard a sound that made them stop. The sound of creature moving through the vents. Corey grabbed a small record player that he found on the floor, and pulled Yumiko into an empty room. Right before he heard metal on metal clanging. The sound came from the creature jumping out of the vents and Corey just knew it. He didn't need to be told. He pressed his back against the door, and NewAge was on full alert. The creatu
