"H-Huh?" Lucius groaned as light burst into his eyes. It only took him a matter of seconds to recall what had happened. How he had fainted right when he was about to attack the necromancer. He tried his best to lift his body from the fluffy cage he seemed to be trapped in, but found that his body was still in a lot of pain. ~This isn't the temple,~ he noted, noticing that the walls here had a raw earthy texture, whereas the necromancer's temple seemed a lot more polished. ~Solar pulse,~ he chanted…-

"I have to admit, even for creatures as low-tiered as you lot are, you seem to be quite skilled," the necromancer commented as he watched his minions beat on Avankor. Even with Avankor's enhanced healing and mystic mantle, there was only so much he could do against the necromancer's seemingly infinite magic pool. Every time he managed to kill one of the necromancer's elite units, it would just bring them back to life. It seemed almost unfair, as if there were no restrictions to what it could do at…

A few more cycles went by and the creature was beginning to grow impatient. Even though Lucius wasn't supposed to know that he was in a simulation, he was starting to be more skeptical of the tricks. Eventually, he stopped being tricked altogether and they had to resort to more direct methods of torture. For instance, pure 'physical pain.' Though this proved less efficient than the mental torture as Lucius ended up dying before disclosing any details each time. "It seems this is all the creature…

"Shavak, you'd do well not to interrupt my fight you coward," Avankor shouted into the darkness. The necromancer turned to look in the direction that Avankor was staring but found nothing. And that was all the distraction Avankor needed to close the distance between them. It was a double-pronged attack, both his tail and fist came rushing down to crush the necromancer, however once again the wall thwarted his advance. "So this thing moves even if you aren't paying attention?" Avankor asked, as he…

"Save me? I work here, now stop before you get me in trouble," the woman shouted, before pulling her hand back. "And my name's not Ghost, it's Athena," she continued. ~Athena? Th-that's not right that's- that's my wife's name,~ Lucius thought to himself, it felt like something inside his mind was unravelling, but before he could figure out what it was, he heard a large number of footsteps approaching. "We have to get out of here," he warned, as he heard the footsteps come closer. " Are you crazy,…

"You kind of remind me of my father. Anyway, I have to get going, I'm late for work," the young woman said, before walking away. Lucius just stared as she left, something about her felt... familiar. "Wait, you forgot your-" he shouted trying his best to run towards her, but the woman was already getting into a taxi. "-jacket," he finished, before looking down at his legs. ~I'm not quite what I used to be,~ he thought to himself, before neatly folding the jacket. ~She'll come back tomorrow, I'll…

Even though Alpha was the most powerful he had ever been, perhaps even more powerful than Lucius, he wasn't certain whether or not he could win against the necromancer, let alone this new enemy. "Who leads this army? Who is this den's king?" the creature roared, its shadowy armor pulsating as it slowly approached the group. ~Friend?~ Alpha thought to himself Right now the necromancer's finger was still on Lucius's head, wisps of purple light zipping from its crux towards Lucius's body. Alpha was no…

~So it was all a dream?~ Lucius thought to himself as he worked in the garden. His son was currently playing with his action figure right next to him, and his wife was watching him work from the porch. Lucius just stared blankly at the plants he was working with. Everything felt so... ethereal, like a very realistic dream. ~Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, a world filled with magic and magical creatures? Of course, the real world would feel like a dream.~ Slowly but surely he was starting to get used…

~What was that?~ Ghost thought to herself, gasping loudly as she tried to catch her breath. It had taken her everything she had just to move fast enough to evade being slaughtered. Her unseen eyes had made it clear that those creatures did not have radiant energy, however, they did have something quite similar. ~Especially the big one,~ she thought. The feeling she had felt coming off that thing was similar to the one she felt coming off the necromancer's four guardians. Luckily it seemed that the…

"I don't have time for this. Move out of my way!" Alpha shouted, as he got back to his feet. Using the light emanating from his body, he tried to get a better view of what exactly was in front of him. It was a creature with six legs and a silvery armour plating its entire body. Its face was helm-like, with two horns protruding from it; a longer one at the top and a shorter one at the bottom. Even though Alpha had no experience dealing with metal, he could tell that the material that covered its skin was…
