Chapter 19: Heroic Father
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Karen was angry because her personal interests were involved.
“That good-for-nothing is nothing but a jinx! He’s so evil, and he has lost his conscience. I bet he’s here to harm us! Even if he wants to die, he shouldn’t drag us down with him! No! Tell your sister to divorce him immediately so that your grandfather won’t blame us! Quickly, call your sister and tell her to hurry home!”
Karen pushed Charlotte in a moment of panic while Charlotte stomped her feet hard and said, “Mother, it’s useless. Grandpa said that Cheyenne and that loser took on the task together, so they have to complete it. Otherwise, none of us will be spared.”
Karen was so furious that she stomped her feet and cursed at Lucas with all sorts of malicious remarks. After she was done, she started scolding Cheyenne.
Hearing that they would be kicked out of the Carter family, William was no longer in the mood to continue reading the newspaper, as his heart was heavy.
Furthermore, Karen’s screaming and cursing made him feel even more frustrated and annoyed, so he yelled, “My eardrums are going to break from your screaming. You’re so annoying!”
“How dare you be fierce to me?” Karen retorted in an even louder voice after being shocked by William’s outrage.
“At the end of the day, it’s still all your fault! If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not Dominic’s biological son, he wouldn’t kick us out so easily. You’re a useless good-for-nothing too. All you do is snap at me at home! If you have what it takes, go lash out at your father! I’m so unfortunate to have married a loser like you. If we really get kicked out, what are we supposed to do?!” Karen started hollering at William again.

Charlotte was also incredibly frustrated and thought, I can’t stay in this house any longer.
She pushed open the front door and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Amelia.
She arrived at the entrance of Sanse Kindergarten.
Along the way, in the stylish and luxurious sports car, Charlotte attracted the envious gazes of passersby, lifting her mood greatly.
It was the peak hour at the kindergarten. Charlotte waited at the entrance for a long time, but she didn’t see Amelia, so she entered.
Charlotte saw Amelia in front of a slide and was about to call out to her when she heard the bright and clear voice of a boy.
“You’re a bastard child that nobody wants! Boo!” There was a little boy opposite Amelia, sticking his tongue out and grimacing at her.

Chagrined, Amelia’s face flushed red, and tears were welling up in her eyes. “I have a daddy. My daddy has already come home!”
“Boo, my mommy said that your dad is a rapist and a good-for-nothing who’s going to be arrested by the police. Pew pew! He’s going to be shot dead! You’re a little rapist, so you also have to be shot! Pew pew!” The little boy stretched out his index finger and made a gun sign before rushing forward to poke Amelia.
“Stop it!” Charlotte yelled as she frantically rushed over and pulled Amelia behind her.
When the little boy saw Charlotte, he turned around to run away, only to trip over his own feet and fall to the ground.
The boy wailed and bawled out loud.
When Amelia saw Charlotte, she hugged her hard and also cried out loud.
“Auntie, I have a daddy. My daddy is back. He’s a good guy… He’s not like what he said.”

Charlotte felt teary as she heard Amelia crying in her arms.
“Yes, Amelia, be good. Your dad is back, and they won’t dare to bully you anymore.” She gently patted Amelia’s back and consoled her.
“Baby! What’s wrong, baby?” Hearing the crying, a couple immediately rushed over from afar and helped the bawling boy up heartbrokenly.
“Mommy, she hit me!” Upon seeing his parents, the little boy pointed at Charlotte and cried even louder.
The couple immediately glared at Charlotte hostilely. “You’re an adult, but you hit my child. Do you have any shame at all?”
Having been wronged, Charlotte was immediately infuriated. “It was your son who bullied my niece! As soon as I came over, he ran away in fear and tripped on his own. Since when did I hit him?”
The chubby woman in her thirties obviously wasn’t willing to hear Charlotte’s words. She looked up and rushed to Charlotte. “You hit a child, huh? You brazen hussy, try hitting him again in front of me!” She reached out and was about to slap Charlotte.
Charlotte was astonished. She was wearing stilettos and holding Amelia in her arms, so she dared not dodge at all!
Seeing the fat hand about to reach her, Charlotte closed her eyes and stiffened her body while protecting Amelia.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed that woman’s wrist!
“Ah! Who are you?”
Instead of the pain she expected, Charlotte heard the chubby woman yelling in exasperation.
She carefully opened her eyes and saw a tall figure blocking her.
Charlotte gasped in disbelief.
The sturdy figure was the good-for-nothing Lucas!
Lucas flung the woman’s wrist away and turned around to look at Charlotte and Amelia carefully. He asked concernedly, “Are you alright?”
“Daddy!” Amelia exclaimed in surprise and stared at Lucas with glistening eyes. Just as the chubby woman was about to hit her and Charlotte, her daddy suddenly appeared just like a hero from a cartoon!

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
