“Kaen, get yer arse over here before I shove this pick-axe up it!”
Kaen came running out of the woods as he pulled his pants up. Hess was waving and shouting at him as usual; Kaen often lost count of the number of times a threat of bodily harm came from him each day.
“Sorry, sir!” Kaen yelled back with a grin, “I thought I was catching a snake in the woods but realized it was just myself.”
The men around the foreman started laughing, and even Hess shook his...

Tomorrow. Tomorrow, she would escape or die, taking her child with her either way. She had been watching and waiting for this chance for months.
She watched her brown and copper-colored egg vibrate slightly as Stioks ran his hand along the top of it.
“You should be proud to know your child will be my dragon. When it hatches, we will rule this kingdom and others all because of the power we share.”
Stioks’s face cracked as he smiled at Indyn, blood seeping...

Running down the hallway brought us to a room with a sturdy metal door that was set into the stone walls. Dirk prepared to kick it when Vreek grabbed his should and waved a finger at him. Vreek reached out, put a hand on the handle, and gave it a turn.
I heard Dirk groan as Vreek turned back and smiled as the door pushed open, leading us into a room that must be for royalty.
Ornate rugs, furniture, bookshelves, and more seemed to fill up most of the room. Armor s...

I was finally starting to get a footing on the floor as it rolled up and down and flexed simultaneously. Body parts, armor, weapons, and gore were all being flung around by the wave of movement from the king’s hammer. I watched as Dirk retreated somewhere behind my by jumping to a shadow off on the side of the room.
The king kept slowly walking toward me, wearing that evil grin as he had a good fifteen-foot radius of stone, acting like a pond with ripples radiating out fro...

“They know we are here now!” Vreek complained as we were forced to retreat from the doorway as spells exploded in the doorway.
It had been a mistake, I realized, sticking my head out like that. I should have let Dirk jump across the room via a shadow and scout and come back before he was struck down. That would at least have prevented us from being pinned like this.
“What are your thought?!” I shouted over the noise as I glanced at Turk and the other two behind...

“Kill me ya filty green bastard!” shouted an older dwarf as he spat at Turk. His long beard was white and tied off at his belt so as not to get caught in the fire I guessed. “We won’t be traitors to our king!”
Dirk strode forward as Turk sighed. They both knew there was always at least one who would resist and be brave. They were always the one you needed to take care of first according to every show we had ever watched.
I noticed in the pan was butter ...

My eyes adjusted to being back here with the boys and Vreek. I saw Turk facing toward me and shooting arrows toward my back. I noticed the wall of fire was still burning blue in the doorway.
“Behind you!” Turk shouted as I realized there were sounds of fighting coming from the other side of the room
I spun around and saw Vreek and Dirk cutting through a horde of dwarves who were streaming through the doorway I had come through earlier. Vreek cut through these...

The room was in chaos as I heard Turk shouting and saw arrows launching from Turk for a moment before a wall of fire sprang up.
“VREEK!”
Vreek turned to look back at me, risking a glance as he stood before Turk, holding his sword out as he tried to block anything that might come Turk’s way.
On the other end of the hall where the door was, stood a flaming wall of fire and at least ten dwarf bodies just a few yards into the room.
“DAD!” Turk shouted without gla...

In the middle of the room, massive chains covered a large dragon from head to tail. Its mouth and head were wrapped multiple times and connected to collars and even a solid body brace. I could hear it breathing as its labored breaths echoed across the room.
Opening the door a little wider, I glanced around the room, thankful for the vision orc eyes had in the dimly lit hall, and saw there were no guards or dwarves in the room. I stood there a moment watching the beast as it took long, g...

I could not believe what was inside this chest. I reached down and picked up the solid black metal chess piece. It had skulls on both shoulders, and it could see the back piece waiting to attach to the front.
“Oh, shite that's badass!” Dirk shouted as I held up the treasure from the chest. “I wish I had something like that.”
Turk groaned and shook his head.
“It’s plate. You don’t wear plate. That is a piece for Dad or Vreek.”

Jumping through the portal brought us into a massive circular room made up of solid blue and white bricks that each was bigger than a house. Perhaps calling them stone sections versus a brick was a better decision I thought as I admired the thirty-foot by thirty-foot blocks. The room was over three hundred yards in diameter and spread out across the room at points like a compass was another huge room connected to the main one.
“Oh, dragon shite,” Turk cursed with a groan...

A sense of dread filled me. If Dirk was hurt and returning to us, how bad could things get in the coming minutes?
Surging forward, I felt a rage flowing through me. I was scared and angry. Fears of my boys getting killed flooded through my mind like they had the first few days after we arrived in this world. All those nights I tossed and turned in the goblin camp, wondering how I was going to protect them awoke in my mind like a dam breaking.

“What the hell are those?!”
I ignored Dirk’s question and focused on the rock creature that towered over me. Easily twelve feet tall, it matched the color of the rocks and the canyon walls. They were incredibly slow-moving. Dirk had tried using his dagger on them only to find out he could barely chip off a small piece of its rock body.
Turk’s fire and electric arrows left no visible damage on their body either. Even the impact his spells normally ha...

“Over here!”
I swam to where Turk had come from in the water and motioned to Dirk to keep working with Vreek. He was trying to teach Vreek to swim but things were not going well. Even with the heart he had eaten and the endless energy he felt right now, Vreek was barely able to doggy paddle. That meant he could not use his sword or anything else. I was really trying to figure out how I was going to fight. Swinging my sword felt like I was moving in slow...

Vreek and I held the shields we had acquired from the Tabaxi from the last floor, between us and the spears coming at us. Two bounced off, leaving some good-sized dents on the inner part of my shield. I was thankful neither of them had pierced these metal shields yet.
When we got within twenty yards I saw a pack of six creatures I guessed were like a yeti. Each of them had red eyes and was covered in white fur. They had a quiver of spears on their back and were t...

“I can’t fight these,” Turk stated as he stared at the creatures before us. “It goes against everything I have ever wanted.”
I groaned and rubbed my neck with my hand.
A pack of four female Tabaxi was about fifty yards from us. They looked like muscle-bound Amazon women wearing only bikini-type armor. Their bodies were curved like a Cuban supermodels, and their quads would snu snu someone to death. Each of them was at least a double D cup. N...

“Where the heck is Dirk?” I asked.
Vreek and Turk were smiling at me, and both of them shrugged.
I glanced around the zone and could not see Dirk anywhere. I had slept a while and with no way of tracking time, I just knew it felt like I had slept a whole eight hours.
Turk and Vreek had cooked me some of the animals that tasted like mutton. It was weird watching their corpses dissolve into nothing after they had been butchered and cooked. The magic of th...

“Uh, is that you, Goblin King?” I asked like an idiot as I moved further away from the other three. I wondered who else could contact me like this as I looked at the ring that Brar had given me for the king.
I could hear the chuckle vibrating through my skull. I could not figure out why it was so much stronger than when Brar and I communicated.
“It is. Call me Tez’kar instead. You have earned that right, so I have finally chosen to conta...

The next nine floors were no challenge at all. Everyone, including Vreek, could kill any of the normal creatures with a single hit. We dodged as many monsters as possible, and Turk's ability to see far away helped us avoid many of them.
The twenty-fifth floor had a pack of forty rock-like creatures who were slow and easily taken down. A few pieces of ore dropped from them, and we put them in our pack.
Standing outside the thirtieth-floor portal, we debated whethe...

I cast fear as I gazed at the two of them. I had not used it in a while, but I hoped it would work on them. We just needed a few more seconds to reach them.
Both of them thankfully froze mid-movement. Vreek and I descended upon them, removing their heads like the other five.
The three who were standing out near the lights exploded in gore as Turk fired three arrows at the group. They never saw what was coming for them.
Dirk and Turk made it to us a minute after all the carna...

We hit the ground again and, this time, did not stumble. We were in a vast cavern filled with grass and had sunlight in the sky. You could smell the grass and feel a breeze blowing across us. The cavern walls seemed to go on for miles, but it looked like it was limited in size.
"This does not seem possible," Vreek said with a grunt. "How can sunlight be in a cavern with wind and grass?"
"Magic!" quipped Turk. "Come on. We need to move and find the next portal."
"Any idea whe...

As soon as it was dark and the lights in the house were out, Dirk made a beeline for the home. Thirty minutes later, he was next to us with three hearts in a pouch.
"They are dead, and in another half hour, the house will be on fire."
"You sure?" I asked. We could not afford for it not to catch on fire.
"Yup!" Dirk exclaimed. "I have the kitchen burning now and once the fire reaches a certain point, it will drop a massive pan of grease all over the floor and the grease-soake...

Vreek and Dirk were making their way toward us after the tree Turk had shot exploded. They were moving at a good pace, but I sensed that they would not make it before Turk showed off what he had been waiting to show me.
The smile that crept across Turk's face reminded me of a time he had solved a problem in one of the games and had made his brother, and I watch as he completed Dark Souls without dying. It was that same look now, only I could tell he was way more excited this time.

Capturing the family was a simple task. There was a mother and father and two younger children. They also had four Tabaxi slaves.
Turk and Vreek decided the best way to capture them was to take the children captive and convince the parents they should give up if they wanted them and their children to live. Turk had convinced Vreek that a parent was willing to do almost anything if they felt their child had a real chance of surviving.
Turk had gone out and stood away from the house...

The three days we took to find a farm were not the best. A rain storm had shown up, and it was a wet and cold day as we ran along the edge of the woods we were in. I was amazed at how big the forest was. I could not imagine ever spending days upon days jogging through one in our own world. Mainly because I hated jogging. Like why do people jog for hours and hours?
