《Loki’s Successor System 》Chapter 57: Atrocity
Advertisement
Flint edged both his hands away from Jin's head. Then, he crouched down to Jin's level, and continued looking into his eyes with a smirk on his face.
Jin's eyes were widened. He was shocked. He understood everything in the vision. For so long the truth had been hidden from him. He didn't lose his ability to walk and his parents from a car accident…
He caused it all. He crippled himself. He killed his own parents. Epiphany.
Jin was stunned. He could not believe it. Flint was simply trying to catch him in a ruse, right? Surely, what he had just witnessed had to be a lie. Yet, it felt so … real.
It felt familiar. And that is why he couldn't utter a word in response. That peek of the past must've been the truth. His grandmother had been hiding something from him for a long time. He finally knew what it was.
Flint cocked his head. "You see it now, Jin? You had a telekinetic ability when you were younger. Perhaps you were a defect. People whose dosage of the pills weren't enough to suppress all the magic within them.
"The doctors gave you special Ability Suppressors, and your memory was wiped to get you out of trauma. Your own grandmother paid to get you out of that trauma. As I said, I know more about you than even yourself." he smirked again.
"You crippled yourself with powers. You killed your parents with powers. You bewitched your dog with powers. You bewitched your grandma with powers. Just come on, Jin. Give up already!"
His brows knitted. "You've put so many people in danger because of your magic. Just being near your friends is a hazard. I thought you cared about them!?
"You are putting everyone you love—in your circle—in danger! This," he circled a finger, "All of this is only happening because of magic! Magic's been more than a curse for you. It's only done you bad! And it will … CONTINUE TO DO YOU BAD … for the rest of your life."
He put out a hand. "So what's it gonna be, Jin? Did you make up your mind yet? Or do you need more proof. Proof that magic is ruining everything for you!?"
Jin heaved. "I'll … I'll pass the system on to you … but," he looked him in the eyes, "What do you plan to do if I give it to you?"

Flint smirked. "I'll be crowned prince. I'll be the God of Mischief instead of my brother. And I will change the world. Make a new world!"
Jin shook his head and started putting out his hand. Flint desperately watched on. He licked his lips.
When suddenly Dobby yelled, "Jin! Don't fucking do that! You're still gonna put us in danger either way, you arsehole! If you do th—"
Krod intertwined fingers in locks of Dobby's blonde hair, and hurled a fist into his face. Then, Krod released the locks, and stomped on him. Dobby curled up.
Yet, he continued his attempts to speak Jin out of passing down such power. "J-Jin … t-trust me … you've never trusted us. That's why you always go through these predica—" Krod stomped on him again. "Duh-do-don't give him what he wants. A new world? Didn't you … huh-hear him?"
Krod continued beating Dobby to a pulp. The hobgoblin leaned over and placed a hand around Dobby's neck. "Stop the fuck up, elf, or I'll kill ya'!"
Battered Dobby was bleeding. His face was swollen. Blood trickled down from his nostrils. His eyes were swollen. He brought up mucus from his throat. Then, he spat right in the hobgoblin's face. "Go … fuck yourself…"
Krod gritted his teeth. He charged a blow. But his fist stopped midway through reaching Dobby's face. He was cut by Flint's words, "Krod! Stop!" he turned his head to look at his boss.
"Boss?"
"That's enough. Stop it! Or I'll gouge your eyes out!"
"Okay, whatever you say," he released Dobby.
Ashton was scared out of his mind so he remained silent. He wanted to cry but he held it in. He thought it was better to not show your weakness to your foes.
Flint looked at Jin again. "C'mon, Jin. I'm running out of patience here!" he looked down at his wristband, "An hour left," he looked up at Jin again. "Are you giving it to me, Jin? You've seen the troubles it can bring, you have no use for it whatsoever—aren't you gonna relinquish?"
Jin, still restrained by the pole, furrowed his brows. His face tinged. "Not after your Krod did that to Dobby … to hell with it. I'm not giving it to you unless you get a doctor to heal us up or something. You—"
Flint clasped his hands onto Jin's hoodie, and stood. He raised a hand as high as he could and swooped it at Jin's face. The slap sounded. Jin's head was veered to the left.

Flint wasn't done. He raised his hand again. Charging. Then he hurled his palm across Jin' face. Jin's head was veered to the right.
The others watched in silence as Flint relentlessly slapped Jin. The slaps resounded relentlessly, and sporadically at unpredictable speeds.
The slaps were so loud that one could hear it from far away. Slap, after slap. Flint continued to strike his hand. Jin's face was swollen and numb.
His vision was blurring. He began to feel dizzy.
Flint scowled. "Weak human. Passing out by mere slaps. Wake up!" he shook Jin aggressively. "Give the system to me!"
Jin's eyes were kept slits. "Fuck … you …"
Flint released Jin. He walked around in circles while rubbing his temples. Then he halted. "Alura, come forth."
Alura rocked her hips as he walked toward him. She stopped at his side, and uttered, "Yes, my prince…?"
Flint folded his arms. "Shoot him … with the bow…"
"No problem, your majesty…"
Jin's heart throbbed.
Alura slowly raised both her empty hands. One was extended out and straightened. The other was raised highly such that it was at the level of her temple.
There was nothing in her hands.
When suddenly her palms began to glow pink. Her eyes began to glow pink. A bow started to slowly manifest. Material conjured starting from the string, forming the bow, and then ending at the arrow.
The sparkling string was pulled back so firmly such that it made a horizontal 'V' shape.
The bow was pink, and looked as if it was made of light itself. It glowed luminously just like Alura's glimmering eyes. The arrow head—the bullet point—was a red, beaming heart.
Alura closed an eye to sharpen her aim.
Finally, she released the nock from her fingers. The shaft slid across the arrow rest, and darted toward Jin's body.
The arrow—made up of light—impaled Jin's heart. He gasped as his body jolted from the penetration. Strangely, he felt … no pain. No Magic. Nothing.
Flint approached him. "Okay. He should be under your Cupid spell now, right Alura?"
"His eyes didn't glow … but he should be…"
"Then command him," his eyes darkened, "to relinquish the system …"
The arrow disappeared. Alura, eyes narrowed, heaved. She folded her arms. "Alright, Jin. Give your system to Flint."
"Fuck you!" Jin snapped.
Alura gasped and placed a hand upon her heart. "It didn't … work."
"How did it not work?" Flint snapped.
Alura's eyes glowed pink. "Hold on … I'm looking. Wait," she furrowed her brows, "Some of your anti-magic energy is in his body Flint!"
She pressed her lips in a line and narrowed her eyes at Flint. "Oh great, now we can't manipulate him with the power of the Aphrodite."
Flint let out a long, stretched, stressful breath. Then, he looked over at Krod. "Krod, Baron. Bring those boys to me…" he said in a calmed tone.
Krod and Baron obeyed instructions. They carried Ashton and Dobby to Flint. Flint grabbed Ashton by his shirt. He pulled Ashton toward him.
"If I can't kill you or manipulate you! I'm going to have to hurt your friends!"
Jin's eyes widened.
He glared at Dobby. "Krod, you know what to do with him. That elf's been talking far too much. Insolent fool."
Ashton was held in a headlock from Flint, who stood behind him. Flint's other hand was free. He then penetrated Ashton's stomach with nothing but his bare hand. Flint then yanked his hand from the inside of the body, holding bloody flesh in his palms.
"ASHTON!!!"
Ashton's eyes bulged. His body jolted. Then, he paused as if stunned.
Krod tugged on Dobby's hand and continued to pull on it with all his might. Dobby screamed to the top of his lungs as his bone, tissues, and flesh shredded and broke apart. Blood sprayed—like a water hose—from his injury.
"DOBBY!!!!"
Krod smiled as Dobby's blood splashed and doused his face. Then, the smile transitioned to a smirk as he poked out his tongue and slid it across his bloody face.
Dobby's entire arm was torn asunder.
Flint dropped Ashton's body.
Krod dropped Dobby's body.
Jin gasped. Then he screamed until veins popped up on his face. He screamed with all his breath. The shrieking noise sounded, wafting through the air.
His eyes began to glow green.
A system screen manifested before his dilated pupils.

A Pirate's Life for Mei
In the future, prisoners are no longer kept in traditional prisons. They're put into comas and permanently dwell within realistic, full-dive virtual worlds. Mei is a journalist and activist falsely convicted of political crimes after accusing an official of sexual harassment. She finds herself in chains aboard a ship in the Caribbean, a prison realm set in 1675, in the age of sail. Oversight is corrupt and the guards are violent. While most prisoners sullenly endure their hardship, Mei knows that this world has a loophole: prisoners can buy their freedom — if they can get the gold. And this also happens to be the golden age of piracy. Yo ho, yo ho. It's a pirate's life for Mei. Book 1 Mei arrives in the Caribbean and battles for her freedom against the devilish English navy, is kidnapped by Caribs, and comes face-to-face with a jaguar. She recruits fellow prisoners in an attempt to steal a boat and flee the prison colony. Book 2 Mei and her crew arrive in Sint Maartin and learn that the French and the Dutch are at war! As Lance, Juan, and Cheeto face their pasts, the crew becomes privateers. Their first prize: a ship full of rum and a week of drunken debauchery in Curacao. This puts them on the trail of Aztec gold buried deep in jungle ruins. An adventure filled with doublecrosses and stealing their first true ship! This is the All Ages version. Mature content is available on Patreon.
8 218The Traveling Shop Keeper
Humanity has survived on Earth thanks to the Towers created by the AI council, sheltering humanity from the damage done to the earth from the war. To help humanity through the idea of living in upgraded caves, it created a method to digitize the human concious, allowing a user to enter a completely digitized world. Tyler, just hitting the required age to safely digitize into his local Tower digital world, is in a race to establish his trading company head office. With HYTOMA running for over 150 years, competition is fierce to buy property against other trading guilds, and the richer, more powerful raiding guilds. He could imagine that in his excitement that he would run into a Wanderer, a human that snubs their nose at the Towers, and spend their time wandering the ruined planet. Surviving by scrounging up old PC hard drives, and selling them back to the AI Council, allowing AI to add lost information to the Tower Network, and impoving the digital world. Hang on for a ride, as Tyler discovers he was given a hidden class by the ruling AI entity, slowly rolling through a digital world on a rickety cart. Will this Traveling Shop Keeper survive dragons, and lead Humanity out from the Towers, into a brand new world built by Articifical Intellegence? Note: I am a new writer with difficulty getting words from my head to sheet, so edits will be frequent. I do not have an editor, if you are interested, I am more than willing to discuss options for your involvement.
8 94Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
8 149Fluffy Tails and Horned Heads
A man, a martyr, sacrificed for the good of humanity, is now confronted with the lack of body. someone not calling themselves a god in any way decides that the only way is reincarnation, whether the man likes it or not. :3 ah, yes, the classic reincarnated as a monster trope in a fantasy world of magic and stuff. funsie funs. I'm not gonna come and say I've turned it on its head or anything, I'm just gonna say that the main character is a rabbit, he does not have any knowledge of any o these types of novels, the "god" character is not a god in any way, the evolution process is gradual and there are no screens telling him all the usual information like "what is that" in summary, don't expect anything great, but I hope you'll be along for the ride. :^))
