《Dimensional Paradise》Chapter 74 – A Fated Meeting (4)
Advertisement
The policeman saw the robber ignore the bullet and tried to shot again, but the robber was already before him.
Before the policeman could react, the robber grabbed his shoulders firmly, then, with a growl of rage, he tore him apart into two.
“Kyaaaaa!!!” Some people, looking at the situation from afar, shrieked in fear seeing the blood and organs splattering out in the surroundings.
“Mart!” Shouted the other policeman when he saw his partner being killed. His face was filled with anger and fear, and his hands were shaking. When he saw the robber standing before the two parts of the body and bathing in his partner's blood, he could not suppress the impulse to shot his gun.
“AHHHHHHH!” *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
However, it would have been better if he doesn’t shoot.
Because when the crazed robber heard the gunshots, his gaze turned frigidly towards the policeman.
“YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!”
He then dropped the torn corpse and charged towards the second policeman.
The policeman paled when he saw it, and continued shooting the gun desperately, but the bullets seemed useless against the robber. Instead of slowing him down, he became even faster and crazier with every wound.
Actually, any other level two would have fallen dead after receiving so many bullets; the robber’s skill, however, was special.
If someone has to give the skill a name, it would be ‘Berserk’. It granted an enormous vitality and reduced the robber's sensation of pain, in exchange for his rationality; moreover, the more crazed the robber is, the stronger he will be.
Seeing the policeman continue shooting, the robber’s expression turned angrier and crazier. He protected his face using his arms and continued charging; when he finally was close the policeman, the robber lunged and grabbed the policeman’s head, then with a look of rage, he crushed it against the floor.

Bits and pieces of brain flew to the surroundings at the next instant.
“AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!”
The robber roared crazily when he saw the policeman's destroyed head. He then kicked the body away and turned around searching for a new prey.
From the moment when he activated the skill until now, less than ten seconds had passed.
He moved his gaze around searching for another person, but everybody was hidden or had run away during the commotion.
Despite it, however, the robber was able to find someone.
Amidst the despairing silence, he could hear the fearful and hushed whimpers of a woman.
His gaze turned in direction of the sound, and in the next instant, he rushed towards the place where the woman was hiding.
With loud steps, he went to a car parked on the street and looked behind it.
The woman behind the car opened her eyes wide, and the hands covering her mouth to suppress the whimpers of fear, turned white.
Before she could scream, a punch from the robber crushed her chest.
The woman’s face turned to one of despair, but the wound on her chest made her unable to make any sound. An instant later, she died.
But it did not take long for the crazed man to find his next prey.
Because the car where the woman was hiding, was in front of the alley where Claire and Aya hid.
When Aya noticed the man looking towards them, she grabbed Claire’s hand and shouted.
“Run!”
The two girls turned around to run and escape from the man, but the man wasn't planning to leave them to go. With heavy steps, he ran quickly towards the girls while growling in fury.
It took only five seconds for the man to catch up with the girls.
With a roar, he swung his right arm, intending to crush them against the wall.

Fortunately, Aya was able to catch with his movements.
Quickly, she threw Claire away and ducked down to avoid the attack.
The man roared again when his attack was avoided, and tried to use his foot to step on Aya, but she rolled to evade it and grabbed a stick lying nearby.
With a jump, she used her feet to step on the wall and swung the stick towards the man’s head.
The man was unable to react to her erratic movements, but he didn’t need. The stick just made him bleed a little before breaking into two. Seeing it, Aya retreated quickly, avoiding another punch of the man.
Unfortunately, her movements were a bit slower than him.
With another swing of his arm, he used a quick movement to hit Aya's chest.
Opening her eyes wide, she put her arms before her chest to defend against the attack. At the same time, she jumped back to reduce the impact of the attack.
"Arg!" With an expression of pain, she flew back while coughing a bit of blood.
“RAAA!” The man growled in pleasure seeing the girl being hit. He then began to walk towards the two girls lying on the ground.
But before he could reach them, a silver cat appeared in his path.
“Meow!!!”
Strangely, the berserk man stopped when he saw the cat.
“Lily!” Cried the silver-haired girl. The cat bared its teeth and growled angrily when it saw its owner injured.
The berserk man seemed to take it as a provocation, because at the next instant, he roared in fury and charged towards the cat.
The cat lowered its posture and prepared to pounce, but at that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed.
*Swinnnnnng!* A sharp sound resounded briefly.
And an instant later, someone else appeared in the alley.
“Claire!” With an expression of rage and worry, Aleen kneeled before his sister and helped her to stand up. Then, before she could say anything, he hugged her strongly.
“I’m glad that you are fine…” Sighing in relief, Aleen held his sister firmly on his arms. Claire immediately broke down and began to cry.
Before the other girl and the cat could understand the situation, the head of the robber fell down.
At that moment, they finally noticed a black sword lying on the ground beside Aleen.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
