Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 090: The Celestia
"Okay, test it out." Corey told Pamela. They stood at the top deck, Mikayla had traded places with Corey so she could take a break. He's only job was to hold the wheel for a couple of hours and make little turns while she took a nap. It was the third day. They were steadily getting close to the Celestia's realm. There they would give the fruits to Iriel, complete the quest and plan for their next step. Pamela breathed in, glancing at the silver bracelet around her hand. "What happens if it does something worse and kills me instead?"Corey shrugged but she couldn't see it. Pamela stood in front of him, her neck twisting to search his face for a response. "If anything goes wrong, you'll appear in paradise.""Then how do I return here?""I have no idea but at least you wouldn't be dead."Pamela chewed at her bottom lip, fidgeting her fingers around. "You need to work on your comforting words. They have the opposite effect."Corey's chest rumbled as he laughed. "I'll try my best next t
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 091: She knows too much
They continued to walk, following the little giggle that was floating around. The group ended up in a hallway, surrounded by knights. Each wearing a similar crest to the one that had attack Corey. The further they walked, the more evolved each armor looked. They weren't moving. No sighs of breathing or anything to indicate life. These knight must be stronger than the one he fought. They were certainly trapped. If the Celestia brought any of the knights to live, they would be outnumbered. The whole hallway was lined up with knights. There was a single door at the end. It opened just like the front door. Without them touching it. Everything, again, was for a giant. The hallway was massive. Corey was stunned they even got to the door in time. The anticipation was killing him. And he could finally see the woman they'd been on a death quest to meet. Sitting on a throne of bone, was Iriel. Corey froze, her palish skin. Strange eyes, and moving tentacles that made for hair on her head.
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 092: Death
By the time the light returned to Corey's eyes, it was already to late. He gasped and fought to get his brain to work. Corey gazed up at his surroundings, trying to remember where he was. If he was still jext to the Celestia. 'Iriel.' he thought with malice. She had been playing him like a toy. Speaking her truth like one of those know it all's that Corey hated in high school. Only, she acting knew the shit that she was spewing. How long had she watched him. She was different from the woman he had seen before. The one who had created the supernova, yet Corey saw the similarities. The Celestia could shift her form. He confirmed it by being awestruck. Seeing her beauty, and recalling the same laughter from the supernova incident did him no good in last hours. NewAge: YOU WERE REVIVED. IN YOUR LAST SAVE. 'Shit. She killed me?'NewAge: THAT WOULD BE THE GIST OF IT. 'That was faster than I expected.'NewAge: WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW? SHE WILL RETURN ANY MINUTE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPE
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 093: Unlocked potential
Corey sat watching different memories, trying to understand what the Celestia wanted him to do. Was he not supposed to enter through this door? She said he hadn't unlocked the true ability. Which would make sense. He knew that already. She knew about his system, but for how long? Had she always known? Or did she come across that information recently?And if so, how could she have known about something she couldn't see? It made no sense to the teen no matter how many times he stirred his brain to think about it. Maybe there was a block that was preventing him from using NewAge to its full potential. Corey searched his memories for clues, nothing came up. Close to losing his mind, spotted another door. This one with chains on it.He stared at it for a long time wondering who thought of such a mess. Soon Corey was approaching the bounded door. Warning signs slapped all over the white wall. Causing a mess.There was a note attached to it. "Sometimes our greate

"She did something." Came his little whisper. What other explanation could there be? The Celestia had been speaking in riddles for so long, he should have known that she would try to pull a fast one on him. He had no evidence but surely, surely she had to have done something to Corey to make him this way. His aura hit Erogo like a bag of bricks."Such power…. Where have I felt this before?" There was something unmistakable about the aura. Something familiar, Erogo tried to recall where he had felt something close to being this strong and intense. He couldn't put his finger on it. Gripping the edge of the pillar he allowed his anger to boil. The Celestia was giving as good as Corey could give. So maybe there was hope of her killing him and he wouldn't have to worry about facing him. And if she failed, then he would have to take matters into his own hands and lock the teen's abilities the way he did hers. Which was quite scary now that he thought about it. She was going toe to toe, a
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 095
Corey had to think and fight. Something he thought was relatively easy, only to be proven wrong now that he was submerged in water with a being who was born and raised in it. The Celestia wasn't giving him any opportunity to even breathe. She struck him several times with her tentacles and Corey tried to both deflect, and attack. All the while thinking of a way to take her down. He couldn't throw an energy beam at her, water made it difficult to throw at a good coordination. He couldn't use anything with fire, the reason was relatively obvious.And using anything that could cause a spark of electricity would only make him suffer.He wondered how she could do it without feeling anything. And he couldn't swim from her. Not only was she big enough to catch up in a second, but she move one leg forward and it would hit Corey from wherever he was. There was no escaping anything she did. Especially her tentacles. They'd knocked him into the wall twice now, and their bolts
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 096: Discussion
"We're spending the night here. At this…. Honestly it's quite beautiful, but she is creepy." Pamela whispered to the girls as they gathered snacks from the fridge the Celestia had led them too. She twisted her upper body to check for the woman and found her peeping at them from behind the corner. Eleanora spotted her as well, the Celestia lifts up her left hand and waves to them. "Yeah, I agree. She is creepy. She's treating us like a project. Analyzing our moves, and-""Is no one going to mention Corey? He's changed, drastically." Verosika doesn't hide the awestruck feeling in her tone. "He's smoking!" "Smoking what?!" Verosika tapped Yumiko at the back of her head. "Don't be a moron. He's hot. And different. What did she do to him?" Verosika swooned, trailing her gaze until it landed on Corey. He was poking Borba's flexed her arm, and Gogo squealed while Corey kept touching her bicep. Pamela removed her eyes from the Celestia. Who could have entered the kitchen but chose to wat
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 097
Strange numbness filled Corey's side, his eyes flashing to white before they went back to their normal color. He could hear several heartbeats, he could feel heated skins against his making him feel like he was trapped in a sauna. He squirmed, freeing his right arm and shaking the sweat off his forehead. Corey spotted Iriel, sitting on a stool watching him. She had on his hoodie, legs kept apart with a cup of tea in one hand. She raised her left brow at him, and he reached out an arm. Her tentacles wrapped around it, pulling Corey into the air then setting him on his feet.He thought up grey pants, and a black shirt."How long have you been up?""Four hours.""And you were just watching us sleep?""No, I went to make some tea. Then I put Pamela on the bed, along with Mikayla-"Corey glanced back to the massive bed, all the women were there. Including the two she just mentioned. Who hadn't joined their initial rump."You brought them from their rooms here?"Iriel gave him a sharp bo
