"Yuan, Run!"
"Huh? W-wait Ning, there is no way that I-..."
Ren Yuan who want to fight to the death while giving the traitorous bastard the punishment he deserves has abruptly let out a confusing sound at the sudden words of his friend, after all, there is no way that the two of them together can properly escape now since their strength is greatly weakening to the point that they won't be unable to run anymore if they continue on.
Rather than continue to do a pointless action, there is going to be a higher chance if they tried to confront their enemies right now.
"Ren Yuan! I am not scared to die, but rather than us dying because of our friend betraying us because of wanting more power and riches, but to see a high chance that one of my closest friends will be humiliated before being killed is something that I refuse to accept! So Ren Yuan, don't be stubborn now and just go escape this instant!"
Suddenly, Ren Yuan's eyes widened at the long length words of his usually always quiet and less talkative friend of his, before opening his mouth to protest but was cut off soon after he was able to finish the words he wanted to say.
"GO!"
Xing Ning that has always been remaining calm has finally shown an anxious and uneased expression on his usually serious expression while his eyes turning hard as he shouts in a rather powerful voice which he doesn't do often as he prefers to stay silent.
And without even giving Ren Yuan a chance to continue refusing, Xing Ning has swiftly dash forward, his sword ready to strike as he plans to strike down many enemies as he could, taking them along if he was going to die while also occupying Peng Pao time in order to give Ren Yuan a chance to run away as far as he could.
"...You!"
Gritting his teeth, Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes flash a furious and hatred expression before decisively turning away as he runs as fast as he can.

"Xing Ning! I promise to avenge you!"
This the first time that Ren Yuan feel so humiliated and mortified as he found himself to be too weak and helpless in a moment of great peril, even though he already trained himself to be strong at a young age but it was still useless in the end!
However, Ren Yuan just didn't think that he was so incompetent to the point that he needed one of his closest friends to sacrifice his own life in order to make him continue living.
Urgh… I am sorry... Xing Ning!
I promise… this is going to be the last time that he will be this too weak!
He won't ever allow another repeat in the future after this one!
"Xing Ning go away! It's futile because Ren Yuan can't escape me! He is destined to become mine!"
While speaking those words which filled with a chaotic negative feeling, while full of overwhelming obsessive and possessiveness, Peng Pao has already finish slashing at the unprotected back of Xing Ning that has already being overwhelmed with the group of people that he tried to take all their attention away from his escaping friend while focusing his attention at his current opponent that he failed to notice Peng Pao dirty movements.
"Everything you are doing is useless, Xing Ning… for all these years of us being friends, I will not take your life with my own hand as show of mercy… although you are probably going to die from your heavy injury along with the poison after leaving you here alone, but this is for the best outcome for the two of us."
Sighing deeply, Peng Pao has finally dash ahead along with the group of men as he tried to catch up at Ren Yuan that has run away while ruthlessly leaving the unmoving body of his friend laying in the cold covered snow ground.
After all of them have completely left, soon an unknown footstep resounds out, while Xing Ning that already has his eyes half-open along with a blurry vision can see the appearance of a wolf beast with great difficulty that is currently walking toward his direction, making Xing Ning inwardly chuckle with irony along with how cruel and harsh the heaven really is as he thought about his current fate along with his friend that he tried to protect with all his might.

Ah, Peng Pao was wrong all along, he wasn't going to die from his injuries, poison or even from freezing over from the coldness, but Xing Ning is going to die by a wolf beast fangs… everything that is happening is really ridiculous that it isn't funny one bit…
My friend… I apologize… it seemed that I will be the second one to leave so soon… don't worry though, I'll look out after our dear friend Tian Ying…. So Ren Yuan continues to live a long life since they all say that evil people usually live longer than good people, so...
With that thought, Xing Ning's vision turned black without any consciousness at the present world which made him unable to see the surprising action of the wolf's beast that has finally arrive before his prone body.
Soon, two wolves have stepped forward being using their fangs to bite on the black robe young man clothes before raising his body up and placing it on top of the other wolf that has been with them the entire time before immediately dashing away as their figures completely disappeared.
And in another place, Peng Pao who saw the weakened Ren Yuan that are finally unable to run away has instantly showed a twisted smile while his eyes hold utter ecstasy as he dashes ahead with quicker speed in excitement, his hand raising over in order to grasp the weakened Ren Yuan who already turned around and showed a painful look on his peach blossom grey eyes as he stared past his figures and gazing into a certain location causing an angry look to abruptly appear on Peng Pao twisted face since he was being ignored once again by the person he just want an attention from.
"Ren Yuan! I'll let my existence to be deeply imbued with your entire body and soul so that you can no longer ignore me!"
"Hey, immoral man, who allowed you to bully my Big Brother Yu Yu?"
Suddenly a soft voice has echoed out at the sudden tense situation before a glint of an object has quickly flashed toward his running figure with perfect dangerous accuracy since soon Peng Pao's painful screaming voice has resounded so loudly at the snowy mountain forest.
"Ahhh! My Hand!"
At that panic and pain shouts, the tired and weak Ren Yuan has suddenly widened his peach blossom grey eyes in utter disbelief before glancing over at the currently bend over Peng Pao that is a current gripping one of his bleeding wrist as he stared in panic and fright eyes at where the location of the supposedly attach hand that was currently casually staying in the snow ground while the blood was constantly spilling from where the hand that was cut off which drops at the snow-covered ground tainting its pure white color.
Damn! That was a pretty accurate shot causing Ren Yuan to secretly give a thumbs up despite the fact that it isn't really the right situation to be even thinking about it that way.
However, before anyone else can react at the suddenly chaotic situation, a white robe figure has abruptly appeared next to Ren Yuan body, causing him to abruptly tense up, while his hands have already unconsciously moved over to give a decisively strike for an instant kill at the young man that has suddenly appeared which has caused both of their eyes to suddenly widen in surprise, Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes emitting a confuse and panic expression when it finally dawned on him that it was Whitey that has gotten quietly closer next to him while Shao Cheng sapphire eyes flash a shock appearance.
"Eh?"

March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
8 89The RPG Apocalypse (LitRPG)

Goblins, ghouls, kobolds and a myriad of monsters and mythical creatures have spawned all over the college campus and beyond. The carnage is shocking. If he's going to survive the RPG apocalypse, Joseph is going to have to figure out the new rules fast. And is it wrong to feel so alive, when so many other people have died?

My library, so humongous my good friends told me one after the other there is no book it doesn't contain helped little. There are crumbling tomes of ancient magic, vocabularies depicting the evolution of the magical language itself, grimoires and holy bibles of cults long past, rows and rows filled with scrolls bearing the efforts of my magical research, contracts, diaries, letters and more. But parenting? There was none. Yet a struggle nearly every member of the Races is not foreign to. I...must have lived under a rock. Across aeons no less. What a humbling revelation.
