Skeleton Key

I have a talent. A necromancer? Not exactly. When I was 4, I summoned my first undead skeleton—Hanz. He’s stronger than most skeletons. As a necromancer, I’m cursed to only summon skeletons. But these skeletons aren’t normal. They can learn swordsmanship, magic, and even farming. Pretty useful, right? I’ve also got some hidden talents in magic and swordsmanship. And... did I mention I can summon an undead lich? That’s a story for another time.

❗[Current Writing Contest-WebNovel Spirity Awards 2025 Fantas]❗ Flain grew up in a futuristic world. When he was born his parents didn't want him because he didn't live up to their expectations and so he ended up very badly. Flain was employed as a slave. He was forced to mine radioactive iron deep in the mines. It was drilled into his head that he existed only to obey orders. Young Flain was obedient. He doubted some of it but knew nothing else. For years, he never saw a single ray of light; light was only spoken of among the others as a legend. The routine was the same: in the morning, he would take a nutrient tablet and water. Then he would mine all day, sleep eight hours, and repeat. Flain worked like this from childhood until he was ten years old. He even found a friend, but that friend died of radiation poisoning right in front of Flain. Flain couldn't stop mining. He kept mining with tears streaming down his face. Before bed, Flain cried. "I will become the strongest. I will kill you all, and you will become my slaves." Flain stopped crying, stared blankly at the rocky ceiling, then looked ahead. A manic grin appeared on his face, one that would often adorn it from that moment on. At the age of ten, Flain was assigned to a military camp due to his endurance in the mines and his survival against radiation. In the camp, Flain was trained. The regime was much looser; he even had an hour of free time each day. However, Flain didn't make any more friends. Even during his free time, he trained with a smile. He would achieve his goal at any cost, even if it meant training himself to death. Experiments were conducted on Flain. He lost his hair, two long gray arms grew on his back, and a third red eye appeared. Flain became a mutant. Flain was then sent to war. He fought with sharp katabas. He performed quite well in the war, earning himself command of ten soldiers and becoming a small commander. But one day, everything changed. Flain then dies, is swallowed by darkness, and Flain refuses to die, thus appearing as a skeleton in a fantasy world.

In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.

What do you think humans are? Are they simply biological creatures with consciousness? As a skeptical atheist, I always thought so—until now. What the hell happened? A moving skeleton awakened me with some strange ritual, and I'm mysteriously in some dude's body. At first, I was terrified. I thought it was God's punishment for not believing in him and for some of my blasphemous social media posts, and that he'd chosen to burn me in hell. A believer once told me that atheists are the most flammable combustibles in hell, but mysteriously, this place doesn't seem hot or on fire. But if this place isn't a lake of fire like hell, what is it? Am I still on Earth? What is that skeleton? How could a skeleton possibly move? This is beyond logic and science—or is it some alien? Even weirder, how can I be in another dude's body? This should be impossible; even the most advanced scientific theories about consciousness that I know on Earth can't explain that. One possibility is that my consciousness has been copied into this body, or perhaps that thing called the soul exists. But if it's the soul, then what is the soul? I need more information about these things, but how? This place is strange; is it even on Earth? I need to gather all my courage for further investigation and stop making assumptions, or my mental health will collapse before I uncover any truth.

Fencing can be a lot of things. It can be a sport that you’re good at, a scholarship, the key to get you into a mysterious college in the Pacific Northwest with centuries of tradition behind.
