Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 150: i think I know him
"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
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 151: Restoring toby
There were a few situations where Corey's head has frozen because he couldn't process what he was seeing and this was undoubtedly one of them. Corey stepped towards the creature, not believing it could be his friend. But it had his friends eyes. And Corey had a really good memory. Every detailed piece of a person was stored in his brain like a catalog. He remembered the eyes, but the rest was definitely sentient. Which meant Toby no longer existed. There was no way Erogo would have such incompetent people. How can you fail at the simplest of jobs? Reprogramming a brain. In the human terms they called it manipulation. Corey took another step and the sentient backed up. That got his attention. Maybe he was wrong and the creature could actually had Toby's mindset. That would mean the woman on the recorder failed at deleting his emotions. The creature turned, and lumbered off. Corey was left standing, watching the empty trail. "We should continue moving." He said, not wasting any tim
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 152: Crash
Toby talked while Corey led them in a search to find the exit. The ship wasn't as busted as you'd think. It looked that way for the most part but the further they were, the cleaner it got. Corey felt no matter how smart he was, Erogo would always have some mystery that he couldn't explain. For example the triads. What was their purpose? Why kill millions of humans? What is the point?Corey wanted to figure that out. But each thought weighed on his brain. Giving him a migraine instead of answers. Blowing out a small gust of air he finally asked Toby to explain what happened. The tale didn't explain or clear any of the confusion. "I was playing that new game. The lock keeper, I'm not sure if you heard about it or not before you died but there were rumors circulating it. Still, it was a popular game and I wanted to be a part of the hype. I wanted to be able to gain some money streaming a game play of it. I should have learned from all the dead people and bad reputation that it had. Mos
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game Chapter 153
Toby could list one very striking thing about Corey that made him believe he was BG every time he saw it. Without thinking, Corey would turn into a blank canvas. It was disturbing. When the ship started and he felt them ascend he was terrified, he wanted to run away as quick as he could but he held the seat belt hoping it wouldn't just snap and send hi. To his death. His eyes managed to turn to Corey the second an AI announced that the ship was descending. He freaked. So we're several others. Corey looked empty. Like the thought of death and falling didn't startle anything in his chest which was even more worrisome. Toby had to wonder if the gamer was insane. Then he recalled a horror game they'd played together. How everyone screamed when they got scared. He watched Corey's character as he was approached by the demon lady. BG's mic was on but toby didn't hear a scream. In fact, Corey made a little sound that was close to a yawn. Fitting his expression into that yawn was the final
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 154: Worry
Erogo took a step out into the sun, watching the empty water below. He had spent years orchestrating the perfect plan. The perfect plan, he repeated to himself. Now that plan stood at a chance of being ruined and he was angry. Every day Corey felt still had the ability to breathe Erogo wanted to go directly to him and just kill him. That was all he could think about. Anger was his only motivation. What used to be bliss, what kind of fuckin god loses to a mortal? He kept throwing that question to himself. He had calculated everything. Every single detail. He'd searched up how the most players won the game, and yet somehow he lost. That was what worried him.Corey had done it effortlessly. He'd done it without even knowing. While the kid might believe that he was nothing special, Erogo would beg to differ. He had bamboozled the smartest, the strongest, you name it. He'd always won each challenge. But Corey broke that streak and now the doubt had entered his mind. He just needed a sec
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 155: Coran
Firing off into their next quest, Mikayla and Corey secured a third clue that sent them into the bustling city of Los. A town of pure treasures, and mysteries. Mikayla dragged Pamela towards one of the many gold treasures. "I just don't understand why we all have to be here. You can go without me." Pamela whined but the princess was having none of that. "You slept for eighteen moons. You need to get your body moving.""Small or big moons? Or is it silver or something? I forget which ones stand for hours." Mikayla glared and Pamela slid her mouth shut. Rolling her eyes and trying her best to not grumble again. She just wanted to sleep, but they were dragged out of bed. She still didn't get the reason Mikayla and Corey forced them here. Well, Mikayla did the forcing. She also had to drag Corey out of his bedroom."There, come on." Flicking her wrist, Mikayla sent a spell to levitate the treasures around her. She and Corey were in search of the next clue. Most of the group hadn't ful
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 156: Explanation
With another note, and a defeated bad guy, they went on to figure out the note. Corey had to deal with two more attacks every day. He felt Erogo was hoping that the more attacks, the lrle he would be worn out. And that would never work, Corey was persistent when he wanted to get something done. Then lazy when he didn't care much. He had taken out two locked creatures, and an entire army that the women who didn't know about Corey's plan were starting to get suspicious. Mikayla, knowing that Corey wouldn't explain anything decided that she needed to step up and get the topic rolling. So she did the first step. Getting Corey out of bed. He'd fallen asleep trying to figure out what the lazy river was. This time there was nothing specific to give it away. Which meant Corey's brain was over working."I swear, the only problem with having girlfriends is how they won't let you sleep." Corey grumbled down the hall way. Waking every one up as he was dragged by. His arms folded and his back to
Surviving the Lock Keeper's Game 157: the answer
That was about the second time, Mikayla had threatened Kat. In her dreams. Each time kat woke up feeling like the threat had never happened. She felt like something was being turned inside of her. Something to determine that she didn't fuck up. It was starting to annoy her. But the princess had magic, Kat could do nothing. She woke up disturbingly early, in her very own room. Although Pamela wanted to share a room with her, Mikayla had requested that she get a private space to herself. Her room wasn't as big as Pamela's, and it was a floor below her next to the spot they gave to Toby. She gradually made her way to the bathroom to clean up. What was Mikayla's problem anyways? Corey was a grown man, he could make his own decisions. There was no need for her to threaten Kat. She feltl fucking violated by that. Especially since each threat felt like they were speaking in a different reality. Like it wasn't real, but all in her head. And she despised they feeling. After her shower, Kat w
