《Demon Hero Reaper Saviour》Chapter 29 – Turn in His Grave
Advertisement
Headmaster Joss watches the boy writes at an astonishing speed on the papers the man had given him. The headmaster can’t see while sitting from behind his desk, but the boy seems to be writing the same message over and over again.
“Who’s Rolfe Primero?” asks the boy suddenly without looking up, his hand is still moving at breakneck speed.
“Wha-“ the headmaster is caught by surprised by the sudden question.
“Never mind, I need your signatures on all of these please.” smiles the boy as he hands in the documents that he has just finished writing.
For the briefest of moment, Headmaster Joss could have sworn there was a worried look on the boy’s face. But it has disappeared now, gone in a flash.
Interesting, the headmaster thinks to himself. Maybe I can use this to my advanta-WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? screams Headmaster Joss silently as he reads the contents of the message the boy had written.
And the headmaster’s thoughts on Rolfe Primero, the sixth year student from Class 6A, are completely forgotten for the moment.
********************
Rolfe Primero laughs a little inside as he watches the boy cautiously exits Class 6A. What am I, some sort of wolf? Ah, that sure brings back memories, the diligent seventeen year old student smiles with amusement as his eyes are glazed over with nostalgia.
“Those were the days. Maybe at the next restart, I’ll get lucky and…” Rolfe murmurs to himself. He lets himself reminisce about his past(s) for a few more seconds before returning to the current situation, his upcoming study session with the boy.
Rolfe beckons a classmate to come to his side. The male student, a son of a famous noble from the Kingdom of Marak immediately approaches the diligent seventeen year old student and bows his head respectfully.

“Did you need something, Ser Primero?”
“How many times have I told you to drop the “Ser”. And call me Rolfe while you’re at it.”
“Ah but Ser, I do not dare.”
“Pathetic…”
“…”
“What would your father say if he sees you grovelling in front of a mere commoner? He would have died with shame.”
“Begging your pardon, Ser Primero, but my father doesn't know you like I do.”
“Oh, but you do?”
“… I know enough.”
*laughs "That is true.”
“…”
“And let’s say your father was to cross paths with me one day and the man developed an issue against me, what would you do?”
“I would pray for his soul and hope he meets a swift end.”
“You do not want to avenge him? Your father would turn in his grave, his spirit restless if he discovered his own son would let the person who kills him walks free.”
“I think my father’s spirit should be thankful his son doesn't join him immediately on the journey to the other side."
“Such a "filial" son. But what you've said just now is also very true.”
“Besides, I don’t think the dead cares much for the living. Dead is dead. I believe there’s no coming back from that.”
*laughs "Gods. If only that was true for my case.”
“Ser?”
“Anyway, the boy who visited me just now… I assume it’s “him”, the one everyone is talking about?"
“Yes.”
“Hmmm, and I was just about to pay him a visit to see what the big deal is.”
“…”
“Seems like a decent enough fellow. Now tell me, what are your thoughts on him? And remember, speak honestly.”
“Ser Primero, I don’t…”

“How is your father, by the way? I heard Marak is nice this time of year. Maybe I’ll pay him a vi-“
“He’s like a younger you!”
*laughs "Looks like the son does love his father after all. Well, go on.”
“He’s like you when you first came here, five years ago. "
“Those were the days. You may not have noticed this but I have mellowed down a bit.”
“But without the control or the self-restraint.”
“And…?”
“If I was to put it in terms… he’s like a rabid dog while you are a trained and well disciplined attack dog.”
“Did you just call me a dog?”
“Ser… I…”
*laughs "Relax. I’m just messing with you.”
“…”
“I love dogs. What’s not to love? The endless energy, the keen sense of smell. Wish I could become one again.”
“…”
Rolfe Primero looks down at the reference book on his desk. All these talk that’s bringing up memories of the past(s) has killed his mood to study.
“You've told me all that I needed to know. Thank you, you may go now.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Oh, and one more thing.”
“Yes?”
“Would you be so kind as to wake me up in one hour?”
“It would be my pleasure.”
The male student bows, as if a noble taking orders from a commoner is a natural thing in the world.
Rolfe Primero closes his reference book and puts it away. He then lays his arms and his head on his desk and attempts to sleep. He doesn't have to worry about his classmates, the elite students of class 6A, making any noises to disturb him.
As the mind of the diligent seventeen year old student starts to wander, he recalls a memory of a cat lying on a windowsill with its belly upturned towards the sun, and soon the gentle sound of snoring could be heard reverberating throughout the quiet classroom.

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
