《The Journey Towards Stardom》Chapter 11 - Jekyll and Hyde

The models followed behind the arrogant blonde man, their faces red with excitement. They were naturally jealous of how attractive Faer was. Especially the guys, since their pride took a hit. Noticing how conversations lulled as Faer walked in, they felt like this guy was too eye-catching and they couldn’t help comparing themselves to him.
“I haven’t seen you before. What agency are you from?” Blondie asked. His tone and expression rubbed Faer the wrong way and before he knew it he was responding in kind.
“I fail to see how that concerns you? If you have nothing else to say, then you and your friends can go back from whence you came.”
His brother would be proud of his response. Courtly with a dash of flippancy.
“You! What are you saying?!” William could not remember the last time he was disrespected like this. He was a top model! Just who would have the nerve to speak this way to him?
“You’re a very uncouth person, aren’t you? I have no interest in what you have to say, whether it be now or in the future. Leave.”
William flinched at those angry bright eyes.
“I’ll pay you back for this humiliation in the future. Wait for it.” William turned around and left with his entourage.
And with that, the issue was resolved.
‘Phew. I felt like if he stayed for another second, he would’ve gotten an up close and personal introduction with my fist. I dislike guys like that the most. I’ve always endured being bullied but today I just couldn’t take it anymore. Why is that?’
Something was really strange. He needed to talk to God about this.
‘God? Are you listening? I have some questions to ask.’
“What do you want? Aren’t you a little too familiar with me? Talk fast, I was just playing solitai- … I was working.”

‘I’m not quite sure what’s happening but lately, I’ve been having these weird mood swings and violent impulses. Do you know what’s happening?’
“Hmm? Now that you mention it, you have been a little different … I didn’t think this would happen but in hindsight, I should have seen it coming.”
‘Huh? What are you talking about?’
“We’ll see what had happened was, you not only have the memories of all those people, but also the emotions and ego’s that come along with them. You’re not the Faer from before the accident, well not entirely.”
‘WHAT?! If I’m not me then, who am I?’
“You’re … I’m not quite sure myself but it seems like your personality is undergoing a transformation?”
‘Transformation? I don’t want my personality to change! How do we fix it?!’ Faer was in a panic.
“Alright, calm down. Find someplace private, and then I’ll filter out what I can. I can say with certainty, though. Some of these egos have already seeped into your soul, basically, they’re already ingrained. You won’t be exactly like you were before.”
Making his way to an unoccupied bedroom, Faer closed the door and sat on the bed in the middle of the room.
‘What does my soul have to with this?’
“Idiot! Your soul is, in essence, everything you are. Your very nature is the embodiment of your soul.”
‘I think I understand. OK! How do we do this?’
“You don’t do anything but sit there. Give me a sec.” Tch, how troublesome.
“Hmm .. I think I got all that I could. You should be fine now but like I said before, you’re already different so just come to peace with it ok?”
'Peace my foot!'
“Anyways, you've probably noticed by now that you’re a little unsteady on your feet. I’m surprised you haven’t passed out yet. Your soul is pretty strong isn’t it?”
“Oh, he’s already passed out. All’s well that ends well I guess.”

8 173Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.
8 183A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)

Born from a unholy union of a Demon and Angel came a rare birth of a Nephilim hated by both sides of each faction. He must grow strong enough to survive the trails ahead of him without putting his family in the target of God, Demons or other powerful beings that may wish to harm him. He only wants for a life of adventure, fighting and exploring the the Forbidden realms and the Grand Realms too. Maybe a drink every once in a while. By D.C.K

She worked in the military after years of fighting and being a part of a war that was happening between nations, Anna Lebedev died when a light suddenly reached her body; all of her vision was black; she found herself surrounded by the dark; she blinks, and see two figures—one holding her and the other crying while watching her—and she realizes what happened. She had entered another world.
