《Abyssus》Twenty-First Submersion

I can’t go on.
I can’t fight anymore. I don’t want to fight. I resign. I give up. If I lose, I can stop. If I lose, I won’t be forced to win.
I can rest.
“Kin! Kin! I know you’re awake, so please stop ignoring me!” Mion frantically pleaded with her charge to get up, to struggle, to fight, to shout, to do anything.
Better than simply accepting death with closed eyes and open arms.
Kin ignored her. He simply lay there, limp, like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
Fighting hurts too much. It’s not worth it. Not worth it.
“Not worth it.”
Mion was aghast.
“...Kin? What’s not worth it?”
The thing that smiled started to swing Kin around, playing with him like a gigantic cat.
“This. All of it.”
“Living in this world’s not worth it.”
Swing
“It’s cold...and dark, and it’s just too...hard.”
Swing
“Everything hates you, and being alive hurts.”
Kin slammed into something, but he didn’t feel it.
“It hurts, Mion. It hurts so much. What’s the point?”
Swsh
“I don’t want to live in such a messed-up world.”
I wish I was never born into such a world.
Mion was starting to get confused. “Kin, wake up, you don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Kin drifted off, the stress of being swung around like a toy beginning to corrode at his mind. Blood vessels burst in his eyes, giving them a haunting red tint.
“Kin wake u-u-u-u--”
The psychological burden of the moment had temporarily overloaded Mion’s capabilities, glitching her parsing module and reducing her to mere stutters.
“Please, Kin, don’t go! Don’t leave me here! Please!”
Kin was vaguely aware of something shouting.
Doesn’t matter.
Please, just let me die.
Just let this whole twisted world die.
Everything. Let everything burn.
Maybe then it will be finally clean. No cold, no dark and no pain.
As Kin finally drifted off into sleep, he felt his body tingle and prickle with sudden warmth. He was aware of something screaming in the distance--a long, shrill sound, and very loud. The last thing he saw was rust, twisting and writhing and covering everything in sight.

Confluence
In some realities, the Keys to power are literal. Ryan Miller has spent two long, powerless years in the new and dangerous world that the breach dumped him into. With beasts roaming the countryside and powerful Guilds controlling the cities, the poor farmhand from Earth wants to take control of his own destiny. With no vast riches to his name, his only opportunity for a Key and control of his own life is to hunt and kill the dangerous monsters that plague the lands. And if he manages to get one, he'll have to fend off vicious Guild politics. But the rewards? Exploring beautiful vistas in far off lands and diving through breaches to other worlds for fame and profit. And, just maybe, he can rise high enough to achieve the freedom he seeks. For Ryan, it's more than worth the risk. Artist for Cover: https://www.deviantart.com/kvacm

Child of Nightmares
You can't master fear. You can only embrace it and hope you're strong enough to finish what you started before it destroys you. Vi has always dreamed about being summoned to a fantasy world, where she can fulfill her dreams of heroism and adventure and escape her boring, depressing, real life. But if there's one thing true about Vi, it's that her dreams are dark, terrible, and never what they seem. Since she was a child, she's been the victim of chronic nightmares that seem to defy all reason. Her mind is clouded by an almost sentient darkness, seeking her weaknesses and exploiting them for its malevolent ends.

Realm || A Game Of Thrones Fanfiction
'I think deep down inside, everyone likes to see themselves sitting on the Iron Throne. Some just refuse to listen to their desire for power. Others give in to it. And others let other people do the hard work for them. But no matter who you are or have become, no matter what your heart desires or how much power you would like to gain; we will all burn if we don't stand strong together.' || This is a Game of Thrones fanfiction. The story takes place somewhere at the start of season 7. This fanfiction does not follow the entire plot of the new season. Some characters are not where they should be according to the actual story. I do not own Game of Thrones, nor the characters. I do own Anthea Lannister and some other characters.||
