《That Boy Hare [On Hiatus]》Chapter 4
Advertisement
After about 40 minutes of walking, the black thing approached a hole in the ground. The hare didn't want to go underground. He wanted to stay up and see the sky!
Just then, he heard screeching from up above. It was a brute! But this one was red and much bigger than the other brutes. He decided to call it big-brute. He wanted to get a better look, but the black thing started going faster towards the hole.
He slapped the black things arm and cried: 'Let go! Want to see big-brute!'
It let out a weird noise, similar to the one the refined brute made: 'Are you crazy! That thing'll kill you!'
'Kill? What's that?'
'It means dead! It'll end your life!'
The hare didn't want his life to end. That sounded bad! He looked up again and saw the big-brute was getting closer and closer. The black thing couldn't move fast enough while carrying him!
So he slapped its arm hard, hard enough to make it let go. And then he started running. He had never run before, but something told him that going fast like this―a very fast version of hopping―was the best way to get away from the big-brute.
The black thing hobbled after him, but the big-brute was gaining on it!
'Run, black thing! Run!'
The hare almost passed the hole, but then the black thing reached him and tossed him down into dark blackness below. Then it dove in after him, just as the big-brute came to grab it!
It screeched in anger and tried to grab at the black thing, but couldn't reach it. Eventually, it gave up and flew away.
The black thing paused just a few feet away from the entrance, waiting. After a minute or two, it turned and faced the hare. Grunting, it gently pushed him deeper into the burrow: 'C'mon, you. Don't just sit there.'

The hare tried to twist out of its grip, but it was strong, stronger than him. So he reluctantly allowed himself to be carried further and further into the burrow.
Then the black thing grunted again: '[Light].'
The burrow lit up, revealing a bed of furs, a short and stout thing, and a tall and thing thing. The tall and thin thing had many small things in it that were lined neatly on the rows of the tall and thin thing. The short and stout thing had one of the small things and a very small and thin thing on it, too.
The black thing carried the hare over to the furs and plopped him. Then it squatted before him and grunted: 'Tell me, little hare, do you have a name?'
'No!'
'Huh...You need one. People know you're important when you have a name.'
The hare perked up at that. Being important sounded cool! He squeaked: 'I wanna name!'
The black thing sat back and rubbed its chin. 'I don't know what hares name their young, so I'll give you a fox name. How about...Bo?'
'Bo?'
'Yup. You're name's Bo. Bo...Foxhare.'
Ding!

The hare smiled as he stared at the words on his Status. He still didn't quite understand them but knew they were important. He knew he was important. Because he had a name.

8 87Carefree Demon
"Let me ask you who is a demon?" In folk and lore, a demon is portrayed as a bloodthirsty, horrifying creature and an unholy being. This is not a story about a bloodthirsty demon who slaughters everything in front of him but of a naive child who was doomed, hated from his very birth, and was forced to take the path of a demon. Feared by the masses and hated by those who call themselves 'righteous', a demon lives in constant pain and endless ambition. The demonic path's inheritance is severed and the righteous path reign supreme. A young man lives in a village carefree and untethered by this cruel world until one day he wakes and faces the world head to head. Will, Leif rise up and control his own fate or will he go down in history as someone’s pawn. Witness Leif's journey as he grows from a curious child to a strong yet broken man as he transverses the treacherous and scheming world where it is to scheme or to be schemed against. ***This is the property of [email protected] The story is slow in the beginning but it will pick up gradually Read it until chapter 23 and the initial confusion will be cleared out. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I urge everyone to try it out before you judge. Thanks a lot and happy reading!

“Listen closely for this is our oldest tale… In the beginning there was peace and knowledge throughout our land… The creatures of old roamed these lands… Evil had yet to spread through our land… A rift in the very fabric of reality formed… The land burned and melted as the creatures stepped through… As the most advanced civilization… We took the mantle to combat… By the time we were able to gather half the world had already been lain bare… The war covered the once peaceful land in death and destruction… During this time humanity's greatest light arose…” Monologued the old man, red in the face from passionately spewing his praises of a past he had no part of. Written by two authors, this novel covers the tale of a pair of protagonists in a wuxia world. Oh, and maybe an isekai or two. Our goal with this project is to make an engaging and entertaining story, while making a good attempt at a somewhat realistic wuxia setting. We’re aware of the oxymoron…
