《Tasteless》Chapter 16 [Revenge]
Advertisement
I keep on smiling while glaring at the man who murders me, Igni saw my smile and let out a laugh.
"I broke you didn't I?" Igni said with a smirk on his face.
I raise the barrel of my shotgun toward Igni but he quickly slings a fireball toward me, I dodge to the right letting the fireball hit the wall.
I raise the barrel again but was interrupted by another fireball sling at me. My lip pursed as I feel frustrated. I dash toward Igni while avoiding the fireball that is sling at me.
When I finally close in, I raise the barrel again and this time aim at his head. I look at his face and surprise to see a smile on his face.
Distracted by the smile, I was blown away when Igni covers his entire bodies in a blazing fire and explode outward causing me to be thrown backward. I hit the wall and drop the shotgun on the ground midway.
My jacket was singe and slightly burned by the fire, I look upward and saw Igni is fine but his upper clothing had burned away revealing his chest.
I brushed the small fire on my shoulder away.
"Nice try kid but I fought people way more dangerous than you compare to them you just an ant," Igni said puffing his chest.
Igni then walks to the shotgun and grab it off the ground, I look at his hand glow red like hot metal then he easily bends the barrel upward, making the shotgun useless.
I examine the room searching for anything that I can use to defeat this guy. I clench my fist finding nothing, Igni lets go of the broken shotgun and gesture his hand to challenge me.
I stand up slowly, I can feel something shifting in the pocket than an idea pops up in my head.
"Arrogance leads to defeat" I mutter under my breath.
I reach into my pocket and clinch the item in my fist then taking out my fist out of the pocket. I dash forward this time raising both my fist. Igni let me get close to him and ready his stance to block my attack.
When I was enough distance between me and Igni, I throw the first punch and he blocked it with his left arm. Turning my body, I create a momentum in which carry my kick.
The kick connected with Igni ribs, causing him to wince in pain. Igni glare at me, his smile was long gone and replaced by a frown. Igni push my leg and fist away then he starts to throw a couple light jab toward me.
I block every one of them then he pulls back his fist and launches it toward me. The fist caught on fire as it moving toward me, I move my head slightly avoiding the flaming fist, the fire from the fist was so hot passing beside my head and my hair that was closed to it signed.

Igni start another attack he starts to throw a few light jabs then another flaming fist. I block the light jab and avoid the flaming fist.
Igni keep on barrage me with an attack that causes me to backward slowly until I hit a table behind me. I flip backward and stand on top of the table. Igni look at me with anger fill his eyes, he raises his fist up in the air and brings it downward, his hand was on fire. When it hit the table, the table exploded in two. I managed to flip back again barely miss the explosion, a couple wood debris landed on me but I brush them off.
"Is that all you got?" I said, taunting him.
"talk all you want Haru but we know who is winning here!!" Igni said.
Igni moves his hand as he ready to sling another fireball toward me, I take that chance to charge at him. This causes his action to be interrupted, I raise my feet and roundhouse kick at Igni. Igni already raising his arm to block it but that was a mistake as come my leg comes into contact with his arm and I use the momentum to use my other leg to kick the same arm that blocks me.
With enough force that I throw in my kick cause Igni block was useless, he arms retracted to his shoulder and he moves to the right a bit. Igni grit his teeth, I drop down and landed on my hand then I flip backward. I charge again this time I throw a couple light jab at him, he blocks it but I can see an opening in his block, my jab manage to go through his block and hit the center of his chest.
Igni back away from my jab and trying to catch a breath. He glared dagger at me and in his eyes a disbelief manifested.
"You think you are strong?" Igni said.
"you just a freaking human with no power but I am powered and I am at the same level of god," Igni said, his body turning hot red and all the sweat on his body turn into vapor.
His open his hand and raise it toward his face, it started to catch on fire and he aims both of them toward me. A stream of blazing fire come toward me like a flamethrower, I didn't move instead this was what I waiting for.
I push through the stream of fire and Igni scream as he put everything he got in the flame. I block the fire from my face with both hand, the fire starts to burn my skin and pain surface as I was being cooked alive But the pain was nothing compared to what happened that night, A smile crept on my lip.

When I was close enough to Igni, I open my hand revealing a two shotgun shell.
BOOOOM.
Suddenly Igni stops his attack when I open my eyes, I look at my mangled, burned and missing finger hands. The pain was unbearable at the time but I hear a sound, something a bag of potato just falls to the ground. I lower my hand and saw what had happened.
I let out a laugh.
"you no god," I said.
"you just a human with flaw just like all of us," I said.
Igni's face was full of shrapnel bullet from the shotgun shell exploded earlier, it spread to the entire room even my hand didn't survive but the more importantly, his face was the one that closes to the explosion. It destroys his face and there was nothing left except for a few teeth, a somewhat looking nose with many holes and one of his eye was missing.
I walk to the broken table, grabbing the table leg that was broken with my hand that still work and I walk to Igni again. I get down to my knee at Igni head, raising the table leg and I bring it down and I hit the Igni head.
I hit again.
I hit again.
I hit again.
Blood splatter around it and onto my face, I kept on laughing. I finally did it, I got one of them. Finally, relieved fill my entire body.
I look at Igni face, there was nothing but a glob of meat and blood. I walk toward the other door and lean to the wall beside the door, I look at my destroyed hand and I start counting.
"10,20,30,40,50,60" I mutter under my breath.
I look at my wound as it begins to heal faster than anything I saw before it only took 3 seconds to heal all the wound on my body. I look at my new hand even the missing finger grown back to what it was, I touch hair surprised to feel that my hair isn't growing back, it remains singe, Interesting but I still got a job to do.
I knock the door.
Bullets come flying through the door from the sound of the weapon. I can determine that it was a handgun.
Click.
I turn and kick the door, as the break open I saw a man behind the desk who they probably called 'Dan', he is trying to change the magazine of the handgun and he is doing a poor job at it. I walk slowly to him, his whole body shaking with fear and finally, he manages to load the handgun but I quickly throw the table leg at him, causing him to fall back and drop the handgun.
He tries to reach for the handgun on the floor, I step on the handgun preventing him from trying to grab it then Dan raise his hand up in the air, showing me a sign of surrender.
"Wait wait I can give you money," he said then pointing at the double black bag on the floor.
"Two million it all your if you let me go," he said.
I grab the handgun off the floor and checking the ammo in it. I point the handgun at Dan's leg, squeeze the trigger and He screams in pain as I squeeze the trigger of the handgun pointing to his other leg.
"Please just tell me what you want!!!'" Dan plead.
I lean on the table and place the handgun on it, I look at the man on the floor with both of his leg shot.
"I want revenge for killing my uncle," I said softly.
"what? wait, you that kid? you supposed to be dead" Dan said, finally realizing who I am.
"you didn't even remember me..." I said and let out a chuckle.
Grabbing the handgun and I shot his shoulder. he screams in pain while pressing on his wound.
"we... dint ..kill your uncle.." Dan mutter.
"DON'T EVEN TRY TO LIE TO ME!!!" I yell at him.
"I'm not lying, I swear when we arrive a the house he already dead, Please just let me go," Dan said, his eyes full of water.
"then who did it?" I ask then placing the barrel of the handgun on his forehead.
"Wait... it was a masked woman with a Japanese sword, I saw her leave when we arrive, please don't kill me," Dan said.
I pull back the handgun away and I place my hand on top of my forehead. Dan face show sign of relieved as I pull back the handgun.
"Can I ask you a question?" I ask.
"Anything," Dan said.
"what were to happen if I arrive with somebody else that night?" I ask.
"we..would have to kill that person," Dan said while gulping on his own spit.
The thought of Lina getting hurt cause me so much anger, I look back at Dan and smile. Dan look at me then he awkwardly smiles at me. I aim the handgun on Dan's head and unload every bullet into Dan skull. A flash of light envelope the entire room and accompany by multiple gunshot noises.
I let go of the handgun and it falls to the floor, I lean on the table again and begin to breathe in and out, feeling calm and serene. Suddenly, a loud noise like a lot of thing falling from high shelves coming from inside of the closet.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
