Scene 5 - Time Limit
Watching the twins destroy the western front with ease made Grorc smile slightly, ‘Perhaps we’ll all make out with their firepower. But first I have to convince the egotistical to work together.’
With such thoughts, Grorc went over to the fan maiden first who was eating some unknown type of grapes he had never seen before. Seeing the Orc walking over to her resting the fan maiden put away her food tilting her head, “What do you want?”
“I wish to gather all the top experts together after the time limit is up which will be soon.”
“Time limit? What time limit?”
Grorc ran his hand through his hair and bashfully smiled, “Ah so you don't know some of the insider information, it seems we got the ‘hunters’ this time. Since it’s the hunters then they will only have eight hours to hunt us before closing up shop for the day.”
Pulling out a small fan the Fan Maiden started airing her face, “Meaning?”
Grorc continued speaking, “Meaning that we’ll be stuck here for a few days or maybe even until the end of the exam depending on what they have in store for our group.”
The Fan Maidens eyes shined brightly, “Ah! That means we don’t have to be running and escaping with the total points we gathered! Wait that’s only if everyone here has more then at least one hundred points.”
“Exactly which is why I wanted to talk with you, that middle age man, that brown haired youth and those twins.”
“Eh? Those little shits? Didn’t you hear that little girl pronounce that she would kill us all? Why would you want to talk to them? I mean do you see how she treats those skulls and how brutal she is in combat?”

They both took a look at Luna when she said that and watched her jump on the shoulders of an Elf Zombie. She then impaled her spear on the top of its head until the spear was halfway in before doing a power throw flinging the body at an incoming swarm of Zombies.
Her body was drenched in black blood and with her eyes crimson laughing as she toyed with the zombies to her heart's content. A true psychopath thought the Fan Maiden as he turned to Grorc, “See?”
Waving with his hand Grorc replied, “A minor manner, she has a brother does she not? See that boy facing off against that Death Knight? With him, we can keep her in line. Oh, he just killed it what an excellent move.”
Turning her head in time the Fan Maiden saw Sol severing the Death Knight head with one well-placed strike before using his foot to smash the skull to pieces.
‘What a profound slash for a child so young.’
Grorc spoke up interrupting the Fan maidens, “The silver-haired man already agreed to talk if we have you then it’ll be easy to get the other three to agree. Besides group two is about to finish up.”
Indeed as he said there was only about one hundred zombies life, they would be done in a minute or so. After they finished the next group expected to head out only to see the clock timer read 16 hours before the next wave.
One of the youths itching to go out and do battle snorted, “Whats the meaning of this! I wanted to fight those zombies!”
To which the necromancer brothers appeared, “Oh we forget to mention that we can only hunt for 8 hours a day meaning you guys can rest here for 16 hours. When those up we can start the next wave.”

One of the youths dissatisfied, “Than how are supposed to earn points! I only have 81!”
The younger brother smiled cutely but his words were chilling, “Simple really kill each other oh wait you can’t haha! Enjoy your stay!”
The two then faded out of existence watching the youths grit their teeth in anger and curse them under their breaths. The Fan Maiden didn’t pay attention to cultivators and instead paid attention to this Orc, seeing that he had some insider information it would be best to hear him out, “Alright I’ll agree to talk.”
With a smile Grorc held a hand out, “Then let's go shall we?”

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
8 187Pins or Die!
Neku Sakuraba is your average teenager, he aspires to be the ultimate emo and nothing more. His life radically changes when he's dragged into the troubles of a random girl. Suddenly, Neku finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conflict. He discovers his latent talent to wield magical pins, which become his weapon of choice to defeat his pursuers. Every new enemy is stronger than the previous, and Neku's pins always look crappy in comparison. Will Neku defeat the vastly superior enemies? Can he ascend the ladder to become the strongest pin user in the world!? Note: Other than borrowed sprites, character names and pins - there's no real connection between this story and The World Ends With You. You neither need to play the game first, nor will this story spoil the game.

8 150Eyes of the Divine (Yandere!Eyeless Jack X GN!Reader)
As a child, you were exposed to the deadly secret this world hid as fiction. You came face to face with Slenderman, an entity known for making children and adults alike vanish, as though they'd never existed.But you...you survived. After the experience, you were given the ability to see his servants, the people he'd brainwashed into becoming murder machines. You saw what you called their 'corrupt' form and their 'original' form. Despite the fact that you could see them, they never payed attention to you or the people around you.That was until you moved out to achieve your dream of being a digital researcher. After that, a particular attitude towards you changed drastically.(this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work.)
