The End Of Life Chapter 54
Advertisement
David got tense as the people behind were shooting at the jeep. Mark noticed this and said, "Keep your eyes on the road, don't worry about the bullets." He was sure that the bullets will only give a small dent at most, hence didn't worry much. David only nodded at his words as he continued to drive. Daisy stayed under the seat, closing her ears with her hands and visibly shivering.
David kept driving, not caring what was on their way. He did not lower the speed even when 2 zombies came in front of the car and just ran over them. Mark checked the map and noticed they had to take a right and immediately turned the steering wheel to the right, taking a sharp turn.
As they drove ahead, the bullet's noise decreased and once they went over 500 meters, they finally relaxed a bit and Mark asked David to pull over. David complied and stopped the Jeep in an alleyway to stay clear, just in case. Mark finally exhaled in relief together with David and turned back to look at Daisy.
She was still shivering while holding her head and not knowing what to do. He looked at David and motioned him to see to it. David nodded and slowly turned around and tapped Daisy slowly saying, "It's alright Daisy. You can come out now."
Daisy slowly opened her eyes and noticed her dad looking at her. She slowly came out and looked around. After figuring out that they were now safe, she sat on the seat and her eyes were filled with tears. She was scared, so scared of what will happen to her if her father dies leaving her all alone in this world. She could only close her eyes and ears, hoping that they would be alright.

Seeing her watery eyes, David hugged her and tried to console her. Mark remained silent, looking at the map for the quickest route to his destination. Deciding to go on the smallest and quickest route, which will still take quite some time. His final goal was to reach there before sunset and by the looks of it, it will be a close call.
After deciding the route, he looked at the father-daughter pair and noticed Daisy calmed down. Noticing Mark's gaze, David turned around and Mark tapped on his wrist indicating the time was running out. He nodded and said to Daisy, "Ok now Daisy, try sleeping for a while again." And broke the hug. He turned back at and gripped the week tighter.
Mark showed him the map and explained to him the route. He told David to continue driving as he was about tired out already. David agreed to drive the rest of the day and once everyone was ready, he started the car and slowly came out of the alley. He continued the journey with Mark, looking out for any possibilities of traps.
As they continued to drive through the city, they eventually reached their destination. David exhaled in relief when Mark told the jeep to stop, as this time it went smoothly. Daisy woke up halfway there and sat quietly looking out. Mark had to get down and kill a few zombies in the way.
He encouraged David occasionally to get down and kill zombies using the gun he gave him. David could only man up and get down after listening to Mark. He was able to kill a few zombies, but not without wasting a few bullets, which Mark understood. Not everyone was like him. After gaining some experience from gun handling, David was more confident in shooting than before.

Now that they reached, Mark looked out of the window and noticed the sun was slowly going down. He checked the time and saw it was 6 in the evening. He turned towards David and said, "Ok, then let's get down." And opened the door. David motioned Daisy to the same before getting down.
Now that all of them got down, Mark looked at his destination, a flower shop with an apartment on top. Yes, he needed to be here to try to find the second most important person in his life at present after Kevin. It was another friend he held dearly to his heart, who stayed with him in his darkest times, Suzie Summer.
She was a kind and cute junior he met during the time he was still in school. The very persistent but kind junior helped him a lot. He came here because this was her family shop and lives here. If he wanted to find her, this would be the place. He looked around and found a few zombies in the street which was alright taking the fact that this area had a sparse population in the city.
He only hoped that she would be still alive. He looked at David and made his way into the shop.
As Mark was making his way into the shop, a man from the opposite building was looking at them with a pair of binoculars and an astounded face.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
