《Unexpected Reincarnation》Chapter 3: Resolution
Advertisement
Sirius Black was in one of the safe houses of the Order Of The Phoenix. The First Wizarding War was entering its worst days and final days as the year 1980 rolled in. But no one was happy and the new year wasn't celebrated as tension among the members of The Order Of The Phoenix and the Ministry Of Magic was at an all-time high. The Death Eaters were running rampant and murdering without remorse. Order and Ministry members were picked off one by one, leading to the idea that there was a spy in their midst. This caused allies to look at each other uneasily. All these were a great source of headache for Sirius Black causing him to view his best friend, Remus Lupin who was undercover within Voldemort's Werewolf Army, as a spy. Sirius Black had a map in front of him, with X marks on it, marking the various potential places, Death Eaters would attack. One of them was Privet Drive.
Both Sirius Black and Edgar Bones were sure that some of the Death Eaters would attack many of the half-blood and muggle-born wizards and witches living there. But assumptions weren't enough and without concrete proof, they couldn't mobilize as they didn't have enough time or members to send them to each of the locations. Sirius Black was pacing around in the central room thinking hard about what to do when one of the scouts came in with a report citing that Death Eaters were attacking the home of Selene Balor in Privet Drive. Sirius wore a look of haste and took the scout with him in search of Edgar Bones who should be somewhere in this safe house that was enchanted with space magic.
As he walked, Sirius thought of Selene Balor, a girl in her 6th year when he enrolled. She was in Ravenclaw, although she was smart like all students in Ravenclaw, she had a tomboyish side to her as well which led her to join the Ravenclaw Quidditch as a seeker. All though she was a bit worse than James, she was good nonetheless. She graduated in 1971. She married Tom Balor in 1973 after falling in love with him as she roamed around England. They had a son named Sol just in May of last year. Although she joked around, she was serious in her studies and helped the juniors whenever they asked.

Dear God, I hope nothing happens.
Thought Sirius as he found Edgar and with the scout, the 3 apparated near Selene's house on Privet Drive.
Under the cover of night, the 3 men started to sneak towards Selene's house. Sirius took to the back of the house as saw the broken front door and he told the others to wait. As he kept moving towards the back, he felt it was unnaturally quiet. Peering through one of the windows, Sirius found 3 Death Eaters as they were using Cruciatus on a man.
That must be Tom. Where's Selene and her son? I have to pick up the pace.
As he sneaked back with haste towards the others in front of the house, he quickly made a plan with them.
"There are 3 Death Eaters in the room at the back" whispered Sirius, "They're using Cruciatus on Tom"
"Bastard! They're using Cruciatus on muggle?!", said Edgar as began to become angry.
"There is no time for this. I'll apparate in the midst of the with the 2 of you. Ready your spells."
""Got it!""
After the exchange, the 3 of them got out their wands and held on to Sirius as he apparated.
As they apparated into the Death Eaters' midst, they let out a flurry of spells. After sending spells back and forth, one of the hooded Death Eaters was knocked backward with a Stupefy, falling unconscious while the other hooded one was disarmed with an Expelliarmus.
"Dammnit all!", screamed a Death Eater with straw-colored hair as he cast a Confringo on the ground. The explosion and shrapnel caused Sirius and the others to protect their face with their arms. In that gap, the Death Eater with the straw-colored hair cast an Avada Kedavra towards the closet and disapparates from the place with the disarmed Death Eater.
Thud
As the Death Eaters left, Sirius heard a soft thud inside the closet.
"Dammnit! They got away.", raged Sirius.
"It's alright, Sirius" consoled Edgar, "At least we caught one."
"Check for survivors!", ordered Sirius as he began to walk towards the closet.

He opened the closet door only to find a baby with black hair and ocean-blue eyes., sitting there in cat rompers and diapers with blood dripping from his forehead down his reddish, tear-stained little face.
The baby's eyes were glued to the ground and he didn't make a sound as if he was in deep thought.
Sirius paused and looked at the baby for a while.
This must be Sol. How did he get injured? He isn't crying? Did he witness all that? He must be traumatized. Poor child.
"Rennervate!"
"Rennervate!"
"Sirius, this is bad. Although Tom hasn't been tortured long, his consciousness has fragmented. It'll take months if not years to wake up.", reported the scout.
He took the child in his arms and he whispered in the gentlest voice he could muster.
"Don't worry, it's all over. You're safe now."
As if his word were understood, Sol looked up into his eyes.
But what scared Sirius was that Sol's eyes contained the coldest light he had ever seen. It felt as if hell had frozen over.
Why does he look angry? Does he understand what happened? No, that doesn't matter. Let's just console him for now.
He shivered inwardly and became wide-eyed with bewilderment at the thought of a baby having this kind of eyes.
But the baby didn't look at him with that gaze anymore. His eyes became dull, devoid of any emotion as if he had given up. For the baby understood that he needed strength to protect what was his.
He needed to become far stronger than anyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was still in Sirius' arms when he took me outside our eyes.
"Where's Selene? We need to take Tom to St. Mungo's for recuperation.", muttered Sirius.
Blood no longer oozed from my forehead as Sirius pointed his wands towards my head and chanted Episkey which healed me up.
I'd express my thanks but you know....
"Take Tom to St. Mungo's, I'll stay here with Sol and wait for Selene."
"Understood."
The 2 other men disapparated with my father to St. Mungo's which presume to be a healing center. I hope the damage to my father's consciousness isn't too bad. If it's minimal, I can heal him myself once I gain more power in 3 years.
I wait with Sirius in awkward silence for my mother. With nothing to do, I think to begin a conversation with him.
Do you know who those bastards were?
But instead of fully formed words, sounds cooing and gurgling came out.
"Are you hungry? Don't worry, your mother will come back soon and feed you."
"........"
Dammnit! Just you wait, when I can finally speak, I'll talk you all to death.
Minutes pass without a word when suddenly my mother apparatus in front of us.
"Huh, Sirius? Why're you here?" asks my mother in rapid succession with a worried expression, "Why is Sol with you? What happened to Tom?"
"Calm down, Selene. Here hold him and I'll explain."
My mother takes me in her arms as Sirius begins to explain. As the explanation goes on, my mother's grip on me tightens, and when it ends she slumps to her knees, crying.
"Se-Selene, get a hold of yourself!"
Sobs
Hearing my mother cry, fills me with rage.
Why? WHY? Why do good people always meet the worst of misfortunes? No, I shouldn't blame this on fate or fortune.
IT'S THOSE MASKED BASTARDS AND THAT FRECKLED FACED FUCK.
I swear to the Heavens, this world can't have both you and me under the same sky.
Only one can live.
As I lay in the arms of my crying mother, I quietly make my resolution.
Unaware as Sirius takes notice of ice-cold eyes once again.

“Help me Chosen. You are my only hope.”You have found yourself in blackness, with several options before you live your new life. That's right, this is a CYOA and a LITRPG all in one go.

8 175Blue Screen Blues

With Ryan Thinking life was just a game he could just end and throw away without any consequences, he is offered a deal to live his next life in a real-life RPG world full of swords, magic, misery, memes, and Mondays with nothing to help him along the way but a magical cellphone full of his music to get by in his afterlife.

Well first of all, this “Server” is in a nightmarish beta stage that has two trapped goddesses engaged in an everlasting brutal holy war between each other that has recently turned into a stalemate. Ryan is supposed to kill one of these goddesses somehow. (Technically there is a third goddess, but no one really cares about her) Secondly Ryan can’t die in this world without completing his mission here. If he does, straight to hell he goes. Thirdly, right from the start of spawning into this world, he has an annoying clingy emo/scene cat-dog rogue girl fall in love with him. This would be great in all If Ryan didn’t hate furries. Ryan will realize no matter how hard he tries he just can’t lose this clingy disaster. Forth: Living in an RPG world is great and exhilarating but when the class you choose to roll seems to be just as emo as you are, interesting things are going to happen. You better hold on tight; destiny holds in store for Ryan a Twisted Romance, tons of betrayal, a life full of dark twists and turns, and an adventure that will make or break him in this strange new world. Welcome to Lectioterra Adventurer! (Please DO NOT buff the Raid boss) (Please note i am quite aware that book one was written with quite a few thousand errors. I took a break from writing for ten years and had to relearn a lot of things. I learned quite a lot from writing 100+ chapters so far. I will go back and edit book one’s chapters after I get book two finished. If you all want to point out the errors in the earlier chapters I will gladly edit those things ASAP)
8 119Activation
Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
8 115Saints and Suffering: A Naruto Fanfiction
Synopsis: Naruto and Sasuke were unable to defeat Kaguya the first time around, and suffer immensely for their failure. They travel back in time to right their wrongs, but struggle with the repercussions of their failure and the unintended consequences of their actions. Author's Note: This is fanfiction, I am a first time author, and I make no claims nor guarantees to quality. I have another story floating around in my head, but I am writing this first in order to practice my skills and gain feedback. Please feel free to give constructive criticism, I will try to read and respond. No guarantees to upload schedule or speed will be made. I work a full time job, and I am not particularly fast at writing, though maybe speed will increase as I become more practiced with my storytelling. This work will essentially be my playground moving forward; I'm going to write about scenarios that tickle my fancy, and the overall story may suffer from it. I will endeavor to keep continuity though. I have an outline that I am working on, and there is an overall arc to the story already. Furthermore, as of the beginning of this novel, my intention with this novel is to explore negative emotions and use my writing as a form of meditation/therapy. When I am sad, I will write sad things, and when I'm happy, the story will be happy. Lastly, there will be religious undertones every once in a while. Hopefully nothing too heavy handed though.
