Chapter Eighty-Three: The Foxfire Guild Part Three
By the next day, while reinforcement would arrive at any moment, Katie had finished our flag’s design. The whole gang loved it when she showed it to us before presenting it to the Mayflowers. Katie and all the seamstresses in the hill-fort gathered together to knit our flag inside Wilt Hall. We were astonished that Katie could knit.
We waited by the entrance for hours. Mrs. Smith, Hassan, Commander Raja, Miranda, and the two Green Bit chiefs arrived with a wooden pole and silver ball.
“How’s it going?” Hassan asked.
Before anyone could respond, Katie came out to present our flag. “What do you think?”
The flag was divided diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, with the blue upper triangle and the green lower triangle. At the center along the dividing line was the fiery silhouette of a foxfire.
“Looks good,” Miranda said, and many agreed.
“It is.” Commander Raja asked curiously. “What are the symbolisms on those colors?”
“L

“Hey, hey, you awake?” A girl’s voice woke me up, though I was a bit drowsy. There was a guy with wavy blond hair staring above me. “It’s just a dream,” I whispered with my eyes shut. “Hey, buddy,” he said. “I don’t know what you are dreaming, but this is real.” I opened my eyes again. There was a bushy brown-haired girl beside him, smiling and waving at me. Blowing a small sigh of relief, for a second there, I thought that girl’s voice came from him. “Can you stand?” He offered his hand. Once my senses became clear, I was lying on a concrete floor. The thick furry lining of my hoodie coat cushioned the back of my head. After he hoisted me to my feet, I glanced around while dusting my back, only to realize that we were in a plaza, along with hundreds of people. They were all kids and teenagers, from twelve to eighteen years old. Not a single grown-up was found among them. Even the blond guy and the bushy-haired girl were perhaps the same age a

Upon seeing the Stonehenge up close, it was much bigger and in perfect rectangles than the ones in our world. It made me wonder who built this place. Each standing stone was seventy meters tall, and each short one on top was fifty meters. Many from the crowd pulled out their cell phones, taking pictures and selfies. Some were writing graffiti on the stones. Strange, there should be someone guarding landmarks like this would’ve stopped them. However, after scanning the base of each standing stone, they were all covered in graffiti as far as any arm might reach. Could it be that there were others already here before we came along? Wilt had an idea. He asked us to put the translation stones on the ground. Once we did, almost all English writings magically changed into several languages before our eyes. I recognized some of them. We were astonished for a bit before we picked up our stones. “Katie, try to think of French and see if it does read French,” Wilt said.
The Game of Heavens and Earth Chapter Three: New Beginning Part One
Once our trolleys entered the Eastern District, the surprises here never ended. Everywhere our eyes could see, the city and its citizens were a mishmash of ancient, medieval, and modern civilizations. Again, not a single grown-up was found among them. It was like a school carnival for United Nations Day. There were Romans, Medieval and Colonial Europeans, Mayans, Africans, and Asians, though there were others that I couldn’t recognize. Many of the passengers stood up to take a closer look out the windows. On the stone-paved street, we saw a Roman wearing sneakers, an armored knight riding a bike, and a girl dressed like from the Victorian Era and was talking to a cell phone. “Guys, look,” Katie gasped. “They got cell phones. A lot of them got cell phones.” From what she said, my mind told me to look up. I was amazed they had modern technologies here as well. Utility poles, streetlights, satellite dishes, and radio towers; they even had cars on the street, but there w
The Game of Heavens and Earth Chapter Four: New Beginning Part Two
On the streets, I observed with caution at some people who were giving us long, curious looks. It must be that we were new in this city because of how we glanced around in awe while taking pictures like tourists. Because of the medieval and ancient buildings surrounding us, it was like we were in a European city. Many of the European newcomers felt right at home. Although there were scattered Asian and modern buildings, most of them were the tallest structures in this city, up to two hundred meters tall. “Is that a pyramid?” Katie pointed. We stared in the direction she was pointing, about twelve blocks away. We saw the largest. Almost twice as large as the one in Egypt, this one had a smooth whitewashed surface with a capstone made of gold. “That’s the Pyramid of New Beginning,” Hassan said. “It is now a bank of the Golden Griff Guild. That’s where they minted the chaffs and stored our gold.” “Gold?” we all gasped. “Everyone’s gold is in ther

I am dead. I am so dead, I screamed in my thoughts. A cold lump was building up in my throat as if I was about to choke before swallowing it, though my heart kept pounding against my chest. “The sad part is that you’ll no longer remember the god you met and all the events happening in this world,” Rad said. “And you go back to your normal lives like it was yesterday. It sucks, but it’s for the best. And also part of the rules of the Game.” Someone asked, “What happened to those braves who had reached the other side?” The Party King glanced at the crowd with a widened grin. “They made these….” He gestured toward the window once more. “The city that we live in, the walls that protect us, and the farms that feed us. The Guilds of Eight, or G-8, they called themselves, came together for peace and built this paradise for everyone. They then went back to protect the finish line so we can enjoy this paradise for all eternity.” As I glanced
The Game of Heavens and Earth Chapter Six: The Guilds Gathering Festival Part One
After the welcome party, we headed straight to our new home that the Crimson Shadows provided. I was cautious when walking down the street ever since Li told me that someone was spying on us. We arrived at the Carthaginian apartment with a blue roof. The inscriptions on my card key said: Room Three-Twelve. Therefore, my new home would be in the twelfth room on the third floor. To my convenience, there was a laundry shop and a grocery store beside the apartment. The next day, we had an orientation back at the castle about the rules and customs of this world. It was strange that Rad personally lectured us since he was the Party God’s brave. Meaning, he would never get sobered — ever. From the orientation, we learned that the City of New Beginning was in the middle of a continent, which was also called New Beginning. It reminded me of the two New York, the famous city and the American state, back on Earth. New Beginning was divided into nine square dist
The Game of Heavens and Earth Chapter Seven: The Guilds Gathering Festival Part Two
“Slip?” Lucas paled at the sight of the arrow below his groin. “You were clearly trying to shoot me!” The second arrow was embedded on the wall, about two millimeters from his ear. “Oops, I slipped again.” Anne nocked her third arrow with an emotionless face. “Stop it!” a Wolf Reign member growled. “We’ll call Libra on you!” Another threatened them. Two more struck underneath Lucas’s armpits. Again, Anne said aloud that she was clumsy, though everyone had a clear sight of her twisted retribution against him. Something that I’d remind myself to never tick her off if we ever crossed paths. Anne continued shooting every time Lucas and his companions kept threatening her to call Libra, the city’s only police guild. The last arrow struck near his other ear. It was dipped with foul, green ooze, slowly melting a small chunk of the wall. “Is that poison?” Lucas flustered as he grew paler and paler. The Wolf Reigns were gaping in horror

“What?” We were all bewildered. This paradise was a lie? What did he mean by that? “Have you ever noticed people staring at us when we got here?” Wilt asked. “Uh, time to time,” Nick replied. “I thought they were curious since we’re new here.” “But their stares earlier gave Alex and me the creeps,” Katie murmured. The Finnish girl shuddered upon remembering it. “What’s so curious about us?” “That — I’ve been trying to figure it out until I asked around,” Wilt said. “It’s not us that they’re curious. It’s our powers. Everybody here wants to know what kind of abilities we possess.” Many of us were exchanging comments because of that revelation. Others revealed to those who weren’t around in the forum about what happened earlier, especially the big shot guild that showed up wanting to recruit Alex. They knew something special about her that we didn’t. “They’re just looking for talented people to recruit,” Jasper asked. “What’s wrong with
