《Null un Voided》Chapter 2 -- The Gift.
Advertisement
Slowly rising I wonder, “Why the hell did I sleep on my keyboard?”
There is probably a full qwerty just printed on my forehead, how did I even fall asleep like that?
I mean i’m not new to sleep deprivation and as any true gamer should, have at certain points, stayed up multiple days to grind through quests so suddenly falling asleep is weird……
SHIT AND I LOST A GAME, NOOO MY RANKINGS!!!!!
….
..
..
Oh well, another grinding session and I can probably recover easily enough. Too bad it's almost time for me to head to school, I could easily do it if I had a solid two-three uninterrupted hours but skipping school is not something I wanna repeat.
Last time I skipped the fucking cops showed up even though it was the first time I had ever done it…. Apparently Sincaster had a serious policy against ‘problem children’ so they took everything to the extreme- even giving out something called behavior tickets whenever kids did good…. Yea and I thought I went to highschool but whatever.
After parking and walking a solid half mile I make my way to my first period - English.
Luckily I had enough time to grab breakfast so I don’t have to sit through the long and honestly disgusting lunch lines. The food they serve can be considered animal feed at the best of times so it’s always a gamble on how long you can hold it down before you have to run to the bathroom. It doesn’t stop the other half of the school from eating it, it just makes the janitor’s job significantly harder.
Walking into class I can immediately tell today’s lesson will be a lecture. Already having the projector loaded is a dead give away, now I just have to hope for no busy work and I can just sit back and read the day away.

Annnndd I spoke too soon, she literally pulls out the fat stack of notes while i’m hoping for the opposite, thanks world! Busy work is my nemesis. Again having taken honors classes then going to this borderline juvenile penitentiary means I never have to study, but knowing this, all my teachers make busy work specifically for me.
They do it knowing otherwise I would be having fun. KNOWING I ALREADY KNOW ALL THEIR BULLSHIT. They are just jealous, JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS. THEY ARE JUST MAD THEY CAN’T COMPARE TO ME. WELL FUCK THEM. THEY WANNA KEEP DOING THIS AND I WILL SEW THEIR GOD DAMNED LIPS TOGETHER WHILE PLUCKING THEIR EYES OUT. THEN I SHOULD POUR GASOLINE INTO THEIR EMPTY SOCKETS AND WATCH THEM TRY TO SCREAM WHILE HAVING THEIR LITERAL BRAINS FRIED. OH GOD IT WOULD BE SO SATISFYING IF I COULD JUS-
Oh woops.
Slipped again.
I really have to find another way to control my visions, they’re just getting ridiculous.
Being the master of control I am, none of those feelings actually showed on my face. I have hours of practice in front of a mirror to thank for that. It still leaves my insides burning quite similar to heartburn when I think about it though, unpleasant but bearable if needed.
The next few classes were the same until it was time for fourth period. Another weird thing happened - our teacher was missing. This wouldn’t normally be weird if it wasn’t for the fact that my fourth period teacher is obscenely obese and hardly ever stands up let alone leaves the room unless it's time to leave.
……
….
….
It's been 15 minutes and she’s still missing this is starting to get serious. Usually if a teacher calls out either a sub will be waiting for us in the room or a faculty member will have to substitute. Even with that another teacher will normally check up to make sure everything is fine but no one's coming…..

Getting out of my seat, a kid grabs my jacket,
“Dude just chill, don’t go telling a teacher. No one wants work so just lay low until the bell.”
Normally I would think the same but too many weird things have been happening around the same time for me not to be cautious. If something is happening I need to know,
“Whatever I won’t say we don’t have a teacher, I’ll just use the ‘I’m going to the bathroom’ excuse while I check things out. Now let go of me.”
He tries to look threatening before he says,
“You better not or else.”
…
…..
………
My brain takes a second to process what was just said….. I’ve never been bullied so I don’t normally respond well to provocation but this is the first time i’ve ever been threatened…… So it's generally understandable when my fist rears back and I break his nose.
…..
…….
…….
Everyone either begins screaming or yelling fight! The kid I punched is out on the floor, blood gushing from his now broken nose like a fountain. No one moves closer, but they begin to form a ring around us, with this much noise it won’t be long until someone shows up.
He still isn’t moving I think I may have hit him a bit too hard…. Wait did I seriously just lose my cool and punch someone?
SHIIIIT! THIS ISN’T GOOD.
THIS REALLY ISN’T GOOD.
MY VISIONS DON’T RESPOND WELL TO VIOLENCE OR BLOOD.
I can feel my control slipping when suddenly a box pops into my field of view.

Single Player
There are many games played on the world of Earth- some virtual, some board-bound, others much more real. For Grey Shor, the Apocalypse brings a game unlike any he’s seen before- one that pits him against all manner of monsters, both human and otherwise. In this new reality, he has but a single goal: win. With the Apocalypse comes Evolutions- abilities that combine and level to transcend humanity. For Grey, this means Single Player, a power that allows him to play this new game by his own rules. After fighting through the hell known as the Apocalypse's Tutorial, Grey returns to Earth, finding it poorly prepared for the hell ahead. Armed with information regarding the future and powers ripped straight from myth, he begins a game that will not only find its way to the annals of history, but change them forever. The only way to save the world is to destroy it. — This is a story inspired by Death Note, the System Apocalypse sub genre, and stories like Solo Leveling and The Gamer. Will it appeal to fans of those stories? I can only hope.

Barbarians
The Triumvirate has known peace for 10,000 years. Their technology dwarfs that of Man, and for almost a century now Humanity has done everything they have asked of us, in order to learn even a fraction of their secrets. With their help, we have abolished poverty, and hunger. War is now a thing of the past. We have made incredible strides in a very short time period...and yet the Triumvirate races keep us at arm's length. They see us as half-evolved apes, too violent even now to keep company with our betters. They call us...Barbarians. But sometimes, a Barbarian is exactly what you need. (This incredible piece of artwork was a commission by Harry Rowland (@rowl_art_)...and I couldn't be more amazed at the job he's done. If you're looking for something like this, give him a yell.) A larger version of the cover can be found here NOTE: Agro Squerrils https://www.royalroad.com/profile/121861 has my permission to make an audio version of this story

Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.

Scion of the Void
What happens when a retired Sailor, avid gamer, Player versus Player nut and an H.P. Lovecraft fan all rolled into a man with slight psychopathic tendencies gets brought to a world of fantasy with role-playing elements? Chaos, absolute bloody chaos. Join Jake as he attempts to find his way in a brand new world filled with elves, dragons, and all manner of strange and magical creatures, all the while he butchers and slaughters his way to power. Can he make it, or will he be brought down by the darkness inside of him? Cover by Novissimus. Authors Note: Hey guys, thank you for taking the time to look this over. As this is my first work of any sort of writing, I would love it if you can give me any feedback you can think of. Hit me hard and hit me often, so I can make it better for everyone. Thank you! Authors Note #2. Some of the wonderful people reading this horrible attempt at literature have reviewed the Main Character as an unlikable a**hole that thinks everything is stupid or idiotic, while others have reviewed the Main Character as realistic and sarcastic. As the author, I think that both of these points are true, and if you, the reader, feel like you won't enjoy the MC being these things in your story, then it might be that this fiction is not for you. But if it is, then I welcome you with open arms. Thank you for your time.
