《Abyssus》Twenty-Seventh Submersion
Advertisement
Kin’s dead mother advanced on him, teeth chattering together in a nightmare imitation of his own jaws. Jerking forward awkwardly, the corpse moved in fits and stutters, jerking its decayed bulk forward like a lurching ship on a high sea.
Of course, by this time, Kin was too terrified to do anything except curl up in a ball, shaking.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I lived. I’m sorry you died, please don’t come here, I’m sorry, sorry I was born
As his mother bent down over him, she dissolved, melted into nothing, her image blurring as it simply evaporated.
Revealing the distended, bulging head of the strange, bighead Siren.
Ah.
With his mother out of the picture, Kin’s mind regained a sliver of focus.
And as the Siren reached out to him, Kin kicked. Hard. He didn’t know what direction he was attacking in, only that it was in the general vicinity of his accoster.
Contact, and the Siren’s weak hand didn’t do much against the force, sending it backwards and giving Kin several precious seconds to regroup. Thinking quickly, he reached for his pressure pistol and shot, throwing the Siren back. Pulling out his knife, he advanced forward, paddling slowly and cautiously towards the monster, now crouched like a cornered cat.
And then it stared at him with those lifeless eyes, grey like his dead mother’s, grey and muddy like the one on the head of the thing that smiled.
Truly, this was the face of Death himself.
Another barrage of thoughts assaulted Kin’s head.
Murderer filthy murderer killer aren’t you
“Agh!”
?sorry? Aren?t you sorr,y?*
It was stronger than before, completely assaulting Kin’s mind and subverting his train of consciousness.
Eh? Why can’t I t^%nk?
What i$ thi&*)?
More and more, Kin’s mind began to decohere.

The S???? began moving tow???s Kin again, it’s mo??? opening again to reveal the acid-spewing appen??ge.
What’s going o& wi^h my b$5^^@n?
Kin’s thoughts were annihilated as soon as they be??n, the mental onslau?ght crushing his logical processes to pieces.
I’m--

As all his thoughts faded to white and Kin’s vision blurred out, he could faintly hear someone laughing. An rusty, old, corroded sound that had the sour tang of things better left unremembered.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
