《Little You》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Kyle slammed the figure against the wall, a sharp cry of pain coming from her lips. Her auburn hair fell over her blue eyes. Her body shook in the cardigan she wore. She could faintly hear Kyle talking but she wasn’t quite sure what he was saying, so she attempted to get closer in hope to hear the conversation.
“I wonder what bit of you would taste the best” Kyle’s voice was suddenly deep and filled with hatred, he was different now, almost lifeless, undead. “Kyle, why are you doing this” she spoke with a whimper, stuttering his name. He hummed for a moment as he eyed her, savoring the fear she released. He leaned close and took a deep breath in. “You smell delicious, like a turkey waiting to be eaten at Christmas” he took another deep breath before chuckling darkly. “Shame you won’t be alive for the upcoming Christmas” he rose his voice and drove his hand into her stomach, somehow finding the inhumane strength to do so.
Charlie covered her mouth tighter to hold back the gasp that was trying to leave her body. He slowly twisted his hand only to pull it out, holding a blood-coated organ of some kind. Charlie felt sick at the sight but she couldn’t look away, she was entranced by what she’d seen. She couldn’t help but watch as Kyle ripped the organ apart with his sharpened teeth. Heather gasped once more before falling to the floor as Kyle dropped the remains of the organ onto the floor. “Tastes amazing, just like I thought” he grinned as he looked down at the lifeless Heather.
Charlie noticed a shadow emerging from another dark corner of the library, the large library doors slowly closing by themself. Charlie took a few steps back so she’s not discovered and gently places down the leather book she was still grasping tight in her free hand as to not make any unnecessary noise.

“You weren’t supposed to kill her Kyle” the voice sounded familiar but she couldn’t grasp where she had heard it before. Kyle looked over at the figure who was now slowly walking over to him, revealing the black cloak that covered most of her body. She grabbed Heather’s handmade doll out of the same basket she used for the other 3 victims. “I suppose it was time to end this mess anyway, it was fun while it lasted” she put the doll back in the basket. “My only mission was to eat a part of her, taste her, that’s what I did” Kyle retorted to which the woman sighed.
“Useless piece of shit, aren’t you Kyle?” Kyle opened his eyes wide as she stepped closer and closer, backing him up to the nearest window which was now wide open. “Do you really think I specifically needed you to carry out my mission?” the woman’s voice was laced with venom as she spat her words out, putting emphasis on ‘my’. “Please” Kyle was cut short as she shoved him out of the window, her long nails digging into his chest as she does so. Nothing was left to be heard, no scream, no thud, no murmuring from others, just silence and Charlie felt like the woman could probably hear her breathing.
The woman didn’t sound old anymore and her back was no longer hunched over, she was acting the entire time and nobody had any idea. She looked down at Heather’s dead body and scoffed, kicking the corpse as her black heels got coated in any leftover blood. “This school is filled with nothing but rats” she laughed to herself, kicking the body a few more times before she finally made her way back from where she came from. Charlie was careful to not get caught as she creeped behind her, making sure to follow her every step. The library had a shelf with a barely visible trapdoor laid out in front of it. The door was now wide open as Charlie continued sneaking behind the woman.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Our main character (a cat) adventures with his friends and encounters many situations.Author's Note:Hello. This is my first story. Though I hesitate to call it such. It is supposed to be relatively relaxed for the most part. Any constructive criticism is welcome. My updates will be slower than a snail and my chapters are relatively short so deal with it please and don't murder me. Romance should come in later. Thank you~
