-Vol 5: A New Life-
-Massacre(3)-
Kenshin didn’t return to the girl after killing the group of five, he knew she wouldn’t be coming back to her senses until the next morning. The strain on her body was just that large. He proceeded with his mission, the principal’s room. A large amount of presence was polled around that area. Generally, in a school, the principal’s office should be on the first floor, but this school’s principal’s office was located at a corner of the building on the topmost floor. When Kenshin was a few meters away from the third floor, which was also the topmost floor of this building, his map detected an unusual presence.
Well, not unusual, but rather a familiar presence. Earlier that day when he bumped into that weird young man and subsequently got attacked, he thought it was just some violent coincidence and thus marked him with a map marker with the sign of danger. Unexpectedly that young man was here. Now Kenshin wasn’t naïve enough to wonder for an hour about why he was here, the answer was glaringly obvious. He must be an accomplice of the people doing business here. A glint appeared on his eye as he observed that particular marker which seemed to stationary from the moment it appeared.
Although it startled him. It was not enough to make him reconsider things. Today he was in a warpath against these criminals. Just by remembering what they did to that girl was enough to make him kill them without mercy. At the same time, Kenshin was also mentally preparing for what he was going to see when he enters the principal’s room. He was preparing for the worst, after all, he knew he wasn’t that mentally strong to just shrug off things like that.
Standing in front of the office door, Kenshin slapped his masked cheeks and prepped himself up. “Okay, Here goes nothing!” just as he was about to kick the doors open, his extraordinary sensory perception made him hear some discussions going on inside.

“Mr. Yano, these four are today’s girls. From the look of your face, it seems you really liked them!” it was a young voice, probably belonged to the young man Kenshin meet earlier.
“haha! Like it! Very much like it. Look these tender skins, I can’t wait to take a bite at them!” this voice belonged to a much older man. Kenshin could now discern the age of a person from the sound alone so he could tell that this voice belonged to a middle-aged man.
“Thank you, chairman, for this generous gift! I will make sure your work doesn’t hit any walls from now on!” this voice also belonged to a middle-aged man. But this one seemed to be more subservient to other voices he had heard until now, its as if this voice belonged to a subordinate of the first one.
Unable to take it anymore, with a strong kick, he broke the door and strolled in like it's his backyard.
“What in the?” a loud roar was heard as the people inside startled of the sudden noise. Kenshin saw a group of people, probably all hunters, were standing around a group of three middle-aged men and a young man. As he entered the place, all of them were looking at him in wonder, probably wondering which idiot barged in. Looking around, he spotted everyone according to his map’s markers. At that exact time, his eye landed on the people, more specifically children the three old men were holding.
All of them were wearing provocative clothes that probably no children of their age should wear. Their eyes were glazed over as if they were not actually aware of their surroundings. The old men were molesting them to their heart's content, at the same time talking with the young man sitting on the sofa. There were four girls. Kenshin couldn’t bear to look at them, the way they dressed, the way their eyes glazed over, it was all too much for him to see. As if a sleeping beast that woke up, Kenshin’s eyes turned red as if he was a beast that just given a lease from its cage.

Before half a second could pass, he already got rid of the four hunters surrounding his target. Before he could relax, his danger senses tingled, stamping his legs down, he jumped back a few meters. At the same time, four needles glowing in purple color came out of nowhere and embedded on the ground where Kenshin previously stood. The wooden floor instantly rotted away, making a large hole on the spot.
Kenshin knew who was responsible for it. Turning his head, he found the young man calmly retracting his hands. His fingers were glowing the same shade of purple as the needles just now. The young man then looked at Kenshin and spoke in a calm tone, “Who are you?”
But Kenshin opted to not answer verbally, lifting his right hand, a considerable amount of violet light gathered before turning into the shape of a few thin arrows. With a flick of his wrist, he sent those arrows flying at the direction of the young man, but one. The rest three changed direction mid-flight and went for the cowering middle-aged men on the corner. When Kenshin was attacked, they took the chance and fled to one of the edges of the room and hid behind the principal’s desk.
These arrows weren't meant for killing them, it was just to make them unable to flee. Kenshin knew that it will take some time to deal with this young man. With how he was limited to his skills, it was close to impossible to instakill him. Well, unless he spams his Divine skill on him. But he knew it won't be a good idea. Lily knew he would be going incognito so if he uses his divine skill, he will get exposed instantly. That won't do; at least for now. He was too weak to handle someone of the level he encountered in the North. Kenshin decided to not expose his true identity until he reached level 100 and had his first evolution.
The arrows streaked across the empty room and found themselves on their designated target. The young man dodged them easily, but the four middle-aged men couldn't. The arrows embedded themselves on their shoulders and started to corrode their flesh. Its one of the property of destruction, he could destroy anything, even the minute muscle fibers. Of course, it required precise control.
Fortunately, Kenshin had a system to assist him with this process.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
