Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Jayce looked at me. "Go to the podium we have many questions for you," he ordered me. I obliged him and walked up to the podium. everyone present stared at me when Jayce spoke up "Now first things first Who are you?" He demanded

I looked at him. "You know it is rude to order people you don't know." I sighed "To answer your question my name is Ryu Blood I am from another world my universe is far and I for one I'm glad." I spoke with cheer in my voice. "Fun fact I know who all of you are, to prove that I know you all I will give you details only you will know," I Stated pointing at Twilight. " Twilight Sparkle student of Aspect Celestia leader of the Solari older brother is Shining Armor who is a high ranked member of the guard and the one who hatched Spike with a magic surge," I said calmly like I was crossing off a list.

I pointed to Jayce "Next Jayce Talis lover of one Mel Medarda or should I say former, Councilman co-inventor of hextech, betrayer of Heimerdinger, wieldier of mercury, a former member of house Kiramman and mass murderer of the Brackern." I announced to the group. I pointed to Heimerdinger, "Heimerdinger your crimes are much smaller compared to the mass murderer over there but you have tried so hard to stop progress because anything that has a risk is too dangerous. Science is about taking risks not doing the safe experiments over and over you call yourself a scientist, you nearly killed hextech in its infancy and drove Jayce to suicide and would have succeeded if not for Victor." I told the yellow yordle. "Ziggs you are just a walking blast zone and Spike I have nothing on you."

I looked at how people were taking the news Twilight's mane was fraying on the verge of a breakdown and muttering incoherently, Jayce kept his Intense his gaze on me, Heimerdinger looks like he was conflicted like he wanted to be angry fearful, excited, and sad at the same time, Ziggs was just laughing even harder now, Spike just looked shocked. I waited for all of that information to sink into all of them.

Donger was the first to recover "If you are from another universe as you propose quite a perplexing quandary?" Donger asked he put a hand to his face stroking his mustache "Like how would you know of Jayce being a Councilman its preposterous." he stated.

I looked at Donger "Well I could tell you but what would I get out of this all I have in this world is knowledge and the clothes on my back?" I replied with a business-like tone. I steepled my hands on the podium.

Jayce was the next to speak if looks could kill he would be charged with murder " HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!! " He exclaimed with a red face, His hand tensed over his hammer.

I looked at Jayce my expression. not changing "I know a great deal of this world, even some you don't know like who is making monsters in Zaun like the Wrath of Zaun I even know who he was before." I announced to everyone Jayce looked at me with a skeptical look. "Believe me or not it is true there are not many ways to prove that I'm from another world since I don't have access to most of my powers," I told Jayce at that moment an inky black cloud manifested above me. it dropped a book onto the podium next to my hand. I looked at the book the cover read ' Herald of the Merchant Guild '. I picked up the book opened the cover there was a note inside the cover 'To Ryu This is your powers have fun in this new world of yours. sincerely Your Merchant.'

I looked at the book in my hand. "Well, I think that just helped my case but I think we should take a small break I need to use the bathroom and you have things to discuss.," I stated to everyone while looking throughout the room ' that will give me time to read the book '.

Jayce looked at me then at Donger and nodded at each other. "Alright Heimerdinger and me agree with your proposal fifteen-minute break," Jayce replied

I walked over to the purple dragon "Hey Spike can you show me to the bathroom?" I asked him that snapped him out of his shocked state he looked at me. He nodded I followed him out to the hall to my destination.

third person in conference room three.

Jayce looked at Donger then Twilight who has still had a fizzed mane. he walked over to he put a hand on her shoulder and said "Twilight are you ok?"

Twilight shook her head "Councilman Jayce How does he know I have not even told you or Professor about him!" she said hysterically. She began to hyperventilate and then pass out.

Donger rushed over to her He began to check her pulse "She is just unconscious from the shook Jayce get her into the chair." Donger said. Jayce walked over picked her up and propped her in a chair. "She will be fine." Donger declared. Donger looked into Jayce's eyes "I don't know what to offer the boy Jayce we don't know him or his goals. But we need his information, but there are so many unknowns how did he know that private information, if he's from another universe it makes no sense how he would know that unless." Donger Pondered out loud.

Jayce looked at Donger "Unless what?" He asked the yordle.

Donger looked a Jayce "I know what we should do. Come down here." the yordle stated

Jayce kneed down Donger went to his ear and whispered in his ear Jayce face when from a scowl then to an understanding "Alright I agree but I don't like it." Jayce said with a flat tone.

To the Best Character

in the Targon stone garden stood a statue of a strange creature it's left leg was a dragon, right leg of a pony, body of a serpent, a red tail, with a puff on the end right arm was a griffin talon, left arm was a lion paw, the head of a goat, with a deer horn, and the other horn of a goat.

The god of Chaos DISCORD

Discord statue didn't move the voice came to it "Hey don't think I know you're there get on with the story." Discord's voice rang out to the Writer.

Back to the protagonist

I follow Spike to the bathrooms they looked like a normal school bathroom, but they have bronzed everything except the floor which was white. entering the boy's bathroom I went to the far stall. I didn't need to go but I need to read the book. sitting down on the toilet I pulled out the book. As I flipped to the first page the book turned into a blood-red mist It flew into me before I reacted. The next thing I knew I had a massive headache feel like I kissed a freight train and the next second it was gone. The screen on from my gantlet flicked to life showing tabs Two D&D character sheets for my Warlock and Artificer, League Stats, Mist Manager, Dungeons Manager, Evolutionarily Traits, Absorption Traits, Blue Book, and Inventory.

Looking at my character sheets both level one I sighed "Well it's like I say it's not fun unless you earn it." I spoke to myself Alright I need to give them time to think about it. I started to draw up plans for the dungeon. I might as well go to my dungeon see its progress. with a spark, a purple portal appear I walked through the portal.

I stepped out of the portal and saw a dark room With a flowing pulsing red crystal chained to the floor, and ghostly blue lamps.

My entrance was not unnoticed Thalya walked over to me Pressing herself into me. my arm was consumed by two orbs of flesh. I clear my throat. "Good to see you Thalya h-how is the dungeon coming along?" I said nervously Oh like you would not be nervous if you never had a woman's touch.

Thalya Laughed at my nervous " Master you are so cute when you get nervous. yes, everything is going fine we have not found many hazards. we made the massive graveyard as you requested we have twenty zombies and skeletons each, we have enough darkness for research ." the dark elf told me. "Don't tell me you came only for business?" she pled to me.

I looked at the elf that has my arm hostage "Sorry business I don't have time for that right now I need to see the gate." I told

she pouted then sighed she lead me to the gate, "Do you know where it leads?" I asked.

She looked at me "No master it stops any person that tried that didn't come through it." She told me, "From what we gathered from the Prisoners when we came to this world they appeared all over the world." said the elf.

look around here the signs are still here then an idea struck me We can make rooms to the sides of the entrance. To the left, we will have a fast food store we can sell gobblers and ale we have in spades." I ordered I looked to the other side. " the right will be a hotel to rest we have no idea where they are now we need new signs to go deeper in." I told her she looked at me pondering something. we need the signs replaced put a new sign that says All who enter past here uninvited May challenge the dungeon anything you take you can keep but if you lose your life will be ours." I said to her. and hand her the plans I made for the dungeon's layout

Thalya looked at me "It will be done, master." She said business-like." Will that be all master?" she asked looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

I replied with "Y-yes for now as I told you. I just don't have time, She accepted my reason. "now good luck with the dungeon I need to head back see you later Thalya."

I head back to the dungeon heart and step back through the portal. back into the bathroom stall in which I left I look behind me and close the portal. I open the stall door and use the sink to wash my hands. Outside the door stood Spike, alright Spike I'm ready to head back.

Spike looked at me like he wanted to say something. But his face had a hint of fear, I could understand he probably got berated with Twilight's theories with how I entered this world. He keeps from looking at me the tension could be cut with a knife.

As we continued down the hall I broke the silence. " So Spike how long did she keep you up with her theories?" I asked him

Spike responded oh she was up all night I only got an hour of sleep she did-." he stopped himself remembering who he was talking to. Stop with your minder reader games.

I raise an eyebrow "Minder reader that was one of her theories. I chucked to myself well her theories all were possible dealing with multiverse on a scale of infinity all thing are possible." I stated

Spike just groaned "you sound just like Twilight when she starts a rant." he droned out "Alright we are back." he announced to everyone while opening the door to the conference room.

As I looked back into the room. Twilight was unconscious which as soon as Spike noticed he rushed over to her. Continue looking around Ziggs was gone, Jayce looked like he got the stick out of his ass, Heimerdinger looked calmed down. I went to the front to the podium.

Jayce was the first to speak up "I have a question." I nodded at him "What do you mean by the mass murder of the Brackern I don't even know what they are?" Jayce asked

"What are you willing to pay for answers?" I asked him "I still have nothing to my name What is it worth to you guys?" I asked.

Donger Spoke up "it would be a huge favor to us." when he said that a coin with an ornate four hovered above donger and Jayce's head "We will pay you a hextech core if you will indulge us and the room you sleep in for as long as you are here." Donger said.

I looked at the coin then at Donger. "Agreed," I said with a shark tooth smile. "So you what to know about the Brackern? They are a race of rock scorpions with their souls are fused with powerful life crystals which hold the living thoughts and memories of their ancestors. ." I told them

Donger spoke up "I Have never heard of such a race." he said with a hint of confusion putting a hand to his chin "Even in my three hundred twelve years." He exclaimed

I spoke up. "Well, yea not surprising they have been in hibernation since the rune war not to say a long long time ago. They buried themselves deep in the Shuriman desert. but there is a single one awake named Skarner. he is looking for all the life crystals which is what hex tech is made from. they are still alive too so they feel everything." I stopped there to let it sink in.

Jayce looked at his hammer Mercury with a horrified look I never knew t--t-that the crystals were from a sentient c-c-creature." he cried out. he was visibly shaking look like he wanted to empty his guts.

Donger was just frozen not moving barely breathing.

I looked at how they reacted "yea as I expected how you guys would take it." I said I heard a THUMP behind me. When I turned around Spike was on the ground. I picked up the small purple drake and placed him in a chair. then I turned back to Donger and Jayce.

Jayce was first to recover. Still with a horrified look. So all this time we were enslaving people to power our tech without knowing. He said. Wait you knew and still accepted the Hextech core why? He asked.

"I was going to communicate with them before I used it and have a way to keep in contact to make them my partner instead of just a power source," I said. "I wanted to test if you befriend them will it change the output and have a friend beside me," I said.

Donger recovered a little after my explanation. "So you saying we should befriend the Bracken. but what about the ones being harvested?" he asked me. he looked like he was contemplating.

"Yes And I will research how to make crystals that won't be alive but still have the power you need. I do know someone that can talk on a base level she is called Seraphine she lives here in Piltover." I said. the coins glowed then disappeared.

I looked at the time "Wow we have been talking for a while it's already night well can I get that power cell. I got a project I need to do and you need time from the shock this is only beginning I have plenty of more. and bring Vi and Caitlyn Next time. I said.

Donger pulled it out. "H-here y-you g-g-go. he stammered out. he was shaking like a leaf.

I grabbed it from Donger then exited into the hall. the hall was empty nothing but the wall. As I got back to my room inside it was exactly how I left it. When I entered I closed the door and locked it. then I looked for a place where there was no window and I found the bathroom had only a venting window. I opened the portal to my dungeon and stepped in.

When I walked into my dungeon I was greeted by the Dark Elf. "Hello, Thalya is my workshop ready?" I asked her.

Thalya walks over to me. "Yes, master your workshop is up and running." She told me. Thalya looked into my eyes and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. Master, I know you don't have time to have fun, But may I share your bed with you tonight?" she asked.

I put a finger to my face "Sure it will help me get used to having someone committed to me." I told the Elf who almost exploded but she contained herself just enough to hug me into a sqee.

I had her guide me to my new workshop. But on the way, I fell over in pain. my veins were on fire. my head was pulsing to the ace of spades. and I fell into the mental darkness.

4 hours later

Weapon Shift acquired Ranged Stance: Transforms the Weapon into the Ranged. The first attack in this form reduces the target's Armor and Magic Resist. Melee Stance: Transforms the Weapon into the Melee increasing Armor and Magic Resist. The first attack in this form deals additional magic damage.

Hextech Micro-Rockets acquired, fires long-range rockets that converge on a point

Yordle Inventor acquired You received a small portion of Heimerdinger's magic and knowledge.

Hextech Innovator acquired you received the knowledge of hextech from Jayce.

I woke up sometime later. I found Thalya cuddled up next to be she was wearing a lovely red nightgown. I looked away blushing fiercely. get up softly off bed not to stir her. I got a snot to lead me to my workshop.

I looked at my workshop. it was laughable it had a work table crude tools but. It did have scrap and a forge I could work with this. Looking over the scrap pile I found a broken iron sword not useful, a black steel helm a noxian steel I can use this but not alone, a white set of armor this Petricite steel, yes this will make a fine blade. I decided on you will make my petricite and Black steel alloy gun blade. But there was one thing left to do. I pull out the Hexcore "alright let see if I can use my mist." I said as I struggled and struggled. maybe I need blood, I used a snot and it brought a gobbler to me (gobblers are magic turkeys) with my intent to hurt known my kusarigama appeared in my left hand. With one cut the gobblers head was off and a spray of bloody mist, the body going limp. the mist head towards me it when straight into my lantern.

I called the mist to me once again. But this time small wisps of bloody mist. But still, this should be enough to try what I'm thinking of. With the Hexcore in my hand, I started to channel my mist into it seeping into it. I heard a voice coming from the core.

the strange voice coming from the core sound like a young woman starting in their twenties "Hello is someone there?" she asked with a hitched voice. "Why can't I see anything?" she continued.

I look at the core with shock. " Didn't expect that to work the first time," I said with a growing smile. in a soft tone "It ok your find what is your name?" I asked her.

She said in a scared voice "M-my-y n-name is Valkyrie."

I looked a the Hextech core "Valkyrie that is a lovely name, you have been asleep around one thousand years. Most of the Bracken were harvested like yourself. But most people didn't even know you were alive or even sentient. I told her while trying to be comforting.

All I heard was her uncontrollable sobbing. It felt like days pass from the raw emotions she was crying out. I had a pain in my chest as her sorrow reminded me of my past. Tears started to fall from my face with a creeping smile. It started to divide itself into a mix of crying and laughter.

Around thirty minutes later, I was done crying. So I left to the hallway while Valkyrie was collecting herself. "Alright, I should make my token pulling out my lantern." I say "I AM WARDEN I PUNISH ALL EVIL BE YOU FRIEND I SHALL GO TO HELL AND BACK FOR YOU BUT BE YOU FOE YOU SHALL KNOW PAIN AND EVEN TRUE DEATH CALL ME FORTH BY LITING ME A SAY MY NAME!" I said then I tossed it into the air it was consumed by shadow. Then it came back to me and I hide my lantern back into my shadow.

I turn back into the workshop walked over to the core placed my hand gently on it. "Hey, Valkyrie you feel better after that cry?" I asked her

She replied with a sniffled "Yes." I started to stroke the Core.

I called to Valkyrie "Do you wish to be my partner?" I asked her

She spoke in a slightly hiked voice '"what do you mean?" She asked me

I looked at the core. " Well If you accept I will put you into a gunblade which I will use to bring Judgement of the corrupt and the villainess. and If you don't I will have to put you into storage to keep you safe." I told her.

She thought it over. "Yes I will become your partner as long as you promise to help the Bracken," she told me.

I had a smile on my face. "Yes I was already planning to help them and I was also looking for a way to make the crystal without the minds attached," I told her. when I looked at the table a little snot was placing a cooked gobbler on the table. I grabbed a piece of the gobbler it was good just dry and a bit plain turkey flavor. "I need to find a way to grow some fruits and vegetables down here," I said to myself.

I started to draw up plans from my gunblade I decided on for melee from will be a chainsword from Warhammer 40K. As for ranged embracing my heritage, I decided on a 50 caliber Magnum revolver with the Chain warped around the barrel. I got up since I don't have time to make it now. I walked back to my room Thalya was up.

She look up at me and spoke up "Master you need sleep."

I sighed "Yes I do but this bed is poorly made so I was about to head back through the portal to go to bed." I stated. "Do you want to come with me?" I asked her. she replied with a nod and grab my arm dragging me away.

As we exited the portal it was still dark out so we got out of the bathroom and planted ourselves into the comfy bed. she snuggled up to my chest and I fell into a deep pleasance sleep that I have not had in years.

The next morning

I woke up to an awake Thalya cuddled up with me. "Good morning Master." She whispers into my ear. she slowly go up showing she was still wearing her red nightgown.

I lightly poked her "I need to get up." I told her she pouted but she did get up. "I need you to head back." she bowed with a sway in her hips as she walk towards the bathroom. I followed her she walked into the portal and I closed it behind her.

At that moment there was a knock at the door. I walked over to it when. I opened the door it was Twilight. " Hello, Twilight what do you need?" I asked, looking around I noticed she was alone today. "Why are you alone?" I asked her.

Twilight looked at me "both answers are the same Jayce, Heimerdinger, and Spike are busy today with what they learned yesterday and Spike is helping them. They will be busy for the next couple weeks." she told me.

I nodded at her "So what about you Twilight?" I asked

She looked at me " I will be busy too they sent me to tell you and here. she said. She hands me an envelope. I raised my eyebrow at her. She lightly laughed and waved it off. " this is a token from Heimerdinger I have no idea what it is." she told me. "I need to get going see you later."

I close the door and then look in the envelope. I was shocked at what was inside it. I put the envelope away.

I spent the next week in the dungeon. I Upgraded the Brewery. Set up a pad in the entrance for my challenge. if you are desperate or good-hearted it will open to a treasury. and if you are greedy or corrupt you will be sent to the gantlet and processed into prison.

When I built Valkyrie's gunblade body. The black petricite steel alloy turned blood red after eating my mist allowing me to have full control of the mana flow. 'this was an unexpected boon.' I thought to myself.

My coin mark started to glow A golden portal appear. well looks like I have a job from the merchant. "let's go." I jump into the portal.
