《Tasteless》Chapter 30 [Blood and Viscera]
Advertisement
Climbing the stair toward the bridge, I can feel my heart beating fast, excited on the slaughter I about to unleash, I can't stop myself from laughing inside my helmet about the coming event that gonna happen.
The sound of multiple footsteps hitting the metal deck can be heard coming toward me, down the stair. I turn toward the door exiting the stair on the second floor.
I look around and saw what I'm looking for, Grabbing the fire extinguisher then I brought it with me to the stair and place it at the edge of the stair.
I stand overlooking the bottom floor then I check the chamber of the shotgun, making sure that the shotgun is loaded.
"They are coming, why are you just standing there?" Cindy ask.
"I'm waiting," I said.
"Waiting for the enemy, shouldn't you run away from them?" Cindy ask.
"That not my style," I said.
I start humming a song under my helmet, I closed my eyes and wait. The footstep getting closer and I open my eyes again.
Multiple men stood at the bottom stair; all of them pointed their weapons at me. I kick the fire extinguishers down and bullet starts flying toward me, I aim my shotgun at the fire extinguisher and squeeze the trigger causing the puff of white smoke to come out, blinding the man in thick white smoke.
I dash downward toward the men beneath the stair then I take out a combat knife with my left hand while my right hand holding the shotguns.
"Thermal vision now,"I said, my sight change to thermal vision.
An outline begins to form on my sight and becoming a shape of men, I can see the red glowing body in the thick white smoke. Panic soon arrive in the midst of men as I slit one their throats and fire another.
It only took one shot to kill all them, I duck under as the bullet flies widely toward all direction, the gunshot continues until only one person left, I sit on the step of the stair; humming a song.

"thermal vision off," I said and my screen turns normal again.
The white smoke finally clear, the last man was shocked that all his friends were dead then he turned his body to me.
"What happen?!" the man asked.
"I only shot one guy and slit another, you guys did the rest" I praised.
I continue my humming while tapping my foot on the step.
"How could you be happy right now?!" the man shocked.
"Because I been chain down for almost three years and today he finally releases, so I haven't had this much fun in ages," I said.
"fun? FUN!? YOU JUST KILL ALL MY FRIENDS!" the man said.
The man aims his AK-47 at me, the assault rifle made a clicking noise, I let out of laugh so loud that it echoes in the stair.
I slide the shotgun loading the next shell and aim the barrel toward the man, the man eyes widened and he throws his assault rifle down then raise his hand up in the air.
"I have a family, Please" he pleaded.
"So do I," I said then squeeze the trigger, a blast came out from the barrel carrying the bullet toward the man.
A hole appeared where the face should have been, brain matter splatter on the wall behind him, his body falls limp on the floor.
I slide the shotgun again; loading the next shot after putting a few more shell underneath.
"Only five left," Cindy said.
"well that disappointing, I thought they would give me more of a challenge," I said.
"Haru, are you sure you okay? you don't sound like the usual you" Cindy asks worriedly.
"I'm not him,"I said.
"Shit we got no time to talk about this, you need to keep moving up that where the target is," Cindy said.
reaching upstair wasn't that easy that easy because of there is a few more men inside the hallway and the room that I had to kill before reaching the top.
In front of me is the door to the bridge.
"Be careful all of them is aiming at the door you about to enter" Cindy warned

I grunt I turn the valve; opening the lock for the door. I took a couple step backward, I then rush forward to the door at the last minute I slam it open.
I immediately roll on the ground avoiding most of the bullet, then I stand up again heading toward one the man.
The moment I get close to him; I kick his assault rifle upward and hold his body as a meat shield. the men I use was riddle by the bullet that was aimed at me.
"DIE!" one of the men shout.
"Rider the target is escaping on another route," Cindy said.
I push the body to a control panel where I can use as cover, I push the dead bodies away. and load the next shell in my shotgun.
I peek on left of me and took a shot at the man leg, the man cried in pain as his leg was torn off, I roll my body taking out my handgun and precisely aim toward another man head, I managed to take out two of them.
Before I was pushed down by a large man and causing me to drop my handgun, I bring my shotgun forward but the large man holds the barrel of shotgun preventing me from shooting me.
I grunt in frustration as this man use his weight to lock me down. I let go of the barrel and it falls on the ground; I squeeze the trigger and the shotgun recoil causing the man to slip his hand, that moment I grab my knife and stab his chest, I stab him again and again.
I push the large man off me and stand up, I grab my handgun off the floor and walk to the man in pain, I took aim at his head and squeeze the trigger.
"Follow the target, Athena," I said.
"Already on him, the target heading toward the lower deck," Cindy said.
I walk using the same route that the target used, overlooking the stair; I can see the target just enter a door leading to the lower deck.
"We need to catch him before he gets away," Cindy said.
"Don't worry, I'm on it," I said.
I took a couple step and run toward the railing and onto the second-floor railing, I push my myself off the wall and onto the stair railing then I used the rest of the stair to reach the bottom floor.
I take out my handgun and open the door, walking in I take a careful step forward. there a few doors leading to other room, I ignore it and keep moving.
As I was about to pass the last door, I felt a bloodlust directed at me, I quickly step backward missing the meat cleaver slash.
I raise my handgun toward him but it was immediately kicked away, He then slash the meat clever at me I keep on dodging then I kick him in the chest forcing him to step backward in the kitchen.
I unsheath my combat knife, he recovered and begin his attack on me, I dodge left then down. I kick his leg causing him to fall then I jump on top of him and plant the combat knife in his throat.
the man chokes on his own blood as I twist the blade in his blood when he finally stops moving then I take out the knife out and wipe the blad on his cloth.
I hear footstep coming from behind me, I turn and throw the knife in my hand toward the man standing behind me. it hit him directly on the center of his head and he falls on his back, his leg twitching, the sound of chocking can be heard coming from the man.
I stand up and walk to the man I just kill, taking the knife out from his skull then I wipe the blood off it again on the man cloth. I search for the gun that fell out my hand and I found it on the floor; I sheath the knife back.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

The Arcanist Seer
An eye of which sees everything beyond the skies and heavens saw an embodying fate with reek of blood and greed. He who sees the future and yet is restrained by his own shackles of his destiny. An eye that serves a purpose but nothing in exchange for his freedom. Will he remain as a tool of his adversary or escape from his own shackles of fate? This is a story of two old men trying to free from the shackle of their destiny set in a future only to await their impending doom. This is a story of a dead god, and of a storyteller, trying to break from the bonds of the past. And as their stories go, one of them will face the events that unfold in their distant past, as the other one will unveil its mystery predicted by its future. Is it a mistake to challenge fate, after all? *** The world-building is set upon on the universal scale, with dungeon and old-style fantasy. It has a progression that follows with the consistency of a dungeon setting, although it's not what you call a dungeon, but a function of a crystal. There's a lot to take in this novel, but that's all within my intention. I have always enjoyed challenging conventional ideas. The cover is not mine, it's just temporary.
