Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 125: Jack in the box
Tougher, that was the promise Corey held the lock keeper by. But firstly, he had to locate luke. The god had gone almost AWOL, and there was no sign of him coming back for revenge or anything like that. But Luke was one tricky, deceitful god out of many and Corey was smarter. When the little Devil returned with information of where Luke had hurried off too, Corey was ecstatic. The devil had smiled while showing Corey the exact location. He could have used NewAge for an easier tracking but he had no regrets. The devil did his job right.NewAge: WHAT IS LUKE DOING IN THE PYRAMIDS OF CYRUS?'Beats me. But it's the perfect excuse to get away from this island. I'll take all the girls, and we'll hunt Luke down.'NewAge: WHAT SHOULD I DO?'Scan the key Erogo gave to me, tell me if you find anything. We need to figure out how to rewire it. It's not like Misha, I can't tamper with its motherboard.'NewAge: SOUNDS EXHAUSTING BUT OKAY, I'LL DO IT.Baffled, Corey rubbed his hands over his face.
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 126: Pyramids of Cyrus
Corey wrote a letter to the school asking them for some time off to complete a personal quest, he'd never met the person in charge of the academy but they wrote back to him giving him two months to do whatever he needed to do before the exams and physical competitions would begin. Aboard the undead Luna, he made light conversations with everyone until they arrived at their destination. The pyramids, were even more beautiful in person. To make this a beneficial quest, Corey created his own scroll and handed it to the other women in private. Making sure Iriel never knew about it. And also that Yumiko didn't know what it was about. There was a chance she would tell the goddess without knowing she wasn't supposed to do that.Her durability was admirable, and Corey seemed to be the only one who didn't get frustrated by her lesser knowledge. Sometimes that was a good thing.He reminded her to write to her father that she wouldn't be able to contact him for a month or two. The scrolls con
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 127
The tomb moved slow, far too slow for Corey. The tomb must have been ancient. Too much dust, and dead bugs have accumulated over the past years. With the temptation, and blistering curiosity to just march over there and throw the door the rest of the way so they could come face to face with the mejai, hanging over Corey and Mikayla's heads, they ended up sighing."Should we just go since it can't get out quickly?""No!" Mikayla shouted quickly. Causing the cave to make a little rumble as her voice echoed back to her. "I mean, no, why would we miss the opportunity to see a real life mejai? Come on, where's your adventurous spirit? Where's the gut wrenching urge to see and explore the unknown."Corey was the only one nodding his head to her words. The other women gave her looks ranging from disbelief, to blatant annoyance. Mikayla shrugged, in her mind she called them prudes. Where's their adventurous spirit? She thought nonchalantly."Well, the rules were not to disturb the mejai, do…
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 128: Woki
The mejai wasn't malevolent, or even interested in Corey's group after she got her rose. She tended to them on the other side of the cave, and once the first hour passed by she told them they had four hours left. She was a full cloud of dark smoke, and Mikayla was sketching and writing everything that she could about the Mejai even though the woman said nothing to her. Corey leaned against the rough wall while the others ate and tried to take a nap, and he thought of Erogo and the order of the seven. At any moment, one of those two could come for him. Erogo still being stronger than Corey, yet he was very afraid of him. As much as that shot to Corey's ego, it didn't do anything to stop his wandering mind. He had to ask, he had to think, why would Erogo still fear him?It was almost like Corey had something that he was completely unaware of. Maybe that was it. But it seemed unlikely, NewAge would have told him if there was something. But the system hadn't brought up that topic. Some

This is stupid, that was Corey first thought once he woke up from his horrid one hour nap. His choice hadn't been easy, but he decided to just take the rickety bridge. For the sake experiments. The woki was not pleased. Hearing the creaks from wherever it was. But there was nothing to fear because the first step it took broke and the woki fell down into the abyss. You would think that meant everything was going to go greatly from there, but it only got worse when Corey discovered there were more of that beast. They had to tiptoe all the way to another stream, and relieve their legs. The woki that had been following them stood by the door. Looking at them even though it couldn't see. But it could hear the stream. The sounds of their breathing. He closed his eyes for a nap on the hard floor, and woke up to the Woki only a foot away. Corey could just kill the beast, and that was what he intended to do. He was not a simpleton anymore. And as much as he loved adventure, he didn't want th
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 130: Disappointing adventure
Mikayla had clearly done her research on Luke, because she had more than one of his humiliating stories to tell. The further they walked, and talked, the more Corey's senses were on high alert. He knew he wasn't the only one on edge, but they all laughed and acted like everything was hunky dory. There wasn't a problem in the world with the way they were acting. After a moment, Mikayla started another story. The walls were getting brighter from Corey's point, they didn't even need the flashlights and that bothered him. Why wouldn't it? The first day, or hours of them being in the pyramid and it was all darkness, now suddenly it had bright light. You would be worried too. They were crossing a path between the pyramid they had entered, and another one. Tombs were everywhere. With the names of each mejai written. From necraph, to maera, and more. These were the deadliest ones and somehow they were station in the same place. They made their walk quick as they noticed the cracking sound
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
