《Death... and me》Chapter 16: Arrival
Advertisement
Rean and Roan didn't know anything about that. All they heard from their parents' conversation is that another Tribe was coming to pay a visit, but that was basically it. During this past week, both of them kept training in the Body Transformation system every time they were alone.
However, Rean was right in the past. With those two warriors acting as guards, there weren't many chances for them to do it. Only during the night time would the two of them be alone. Well, not exactly alone. Their parent would sleep in another bed close to them, and they had to make sure to not make too much noise.
"This is too impractical. We will take forever to reach the next stage of th Body Transformation if we keep only training during the night."
Rean shrugged his baby shoulders.
"What do you expect me to do? Unless we completely disregard everything and start to train right in front of them, we have no other choice. Instead of complaining, try to make the best use of your time. We can still use the day time to sleep as much as possible."
Roan didn't like this since, even during the night, it was hard to make the positions properly without making noise. Sometimes Turen or Hamarlia would wake up as well because they weren't careful enough. When that happened, they had to fall on the bed in weird positions straight away.
In Rean's case, it was worse. Turen and Hamarlia are, after all, a married couple. Since Rean and Roan are only a month or so old, their new parents didn't bother trying to hide their actions. After all, babies of this age wouldn't remember anything in the future. That being said, the twins caught their parents enjoying the pleasures of the flesh quite a few times.

Roan, of course, didn't waste such opportunities.
"Heh! Is the 31 years old virgin boy embarrassed? Why don't you take this chance to learn more for the day you can enjoy the same thing?"
Rean wanted to cry but had no tears.
"What the hell learn more? They are our parents, idiot!"
Roan snorted, though.
"Not exactly. Our souls came from another universe. So the truth is that we shouldn't have been the souls coming into these twins' bodies. In that case, it is not like they are really our parents. Of course, I'm still very thankful to them due to my new body."
Rean couldn't deny that it was true. After all, he still remembers his parents back on earth. Knowing his old parents and suddenly getting new ones won't make you love your new ones all of a sudden.
As for how Roan felt about the sex scene in front, of course, he didn't give a damn to that. In his eyes, the only problem was that they took longer to sleep, which reduced his training time.
It was then than Roan had an idea.
"The guards always stay in the living room entrance, never really coming inside. What if we insist on staying in the room?"
Rean looked at him and asked.
"What you mean? It is not like we can suddenly ask them to leave us alone in the room, right?"
Roan shook his head.
"Did you forget our ultimate weapon? As long as we use it well, I believe that Hamarlia will have no other choice other than leaving us in the room instead."
By ultimate weapon, it is obviously their pretense of crying like they are dying! Although Rean's ears would get somewhat red doing such thing at his mental age, he had to admit that it was very effective. That is because Rean and Roan rarely cried to start with, which is quite weird in others' eyes considering their age.

"We can give it a try tomorrow."
The night quickly passed, and the next morning, just as Hamarlia was about to bring them out of the room, Rean and Roan put their plan in action. The moment she stepped out, they would use their ultimate weapon with all their might! At the same type, they inclined in the bedroom direction as if they wanted to go back.
It didn't matter what Hamarlia did, the twins only stopped crying once they were back on their bed. She didn't like it since kids shouldn't always stay there. But after several incessant tries, she finally gave up and left them be.
The guards at the living room entrance looked at each other and just smiled. It would take a long time before things like lessons could be taught to them in their eyes. And since the babies stayed inside the house, their duty as protector was easier to be carried out.
At first, Hamarlia was afraid that the two of them would develop some problems due to a long time on the bed. But not only they seemed completely fine, their bodies somehow seemed to get more sturdy as time passed. Not to mention that they would away be sweating rivers as if they had been running a marathon.
Hamarlia heard from Juri that night that the sweat was probably because of their constitution improving their bodies. That was also why the twins were already in the Blood Replacement Stage. So some sweat coming out while their bodies were changing was to be expected. That said, hamarlia was quite relieved that there was nothing wrong with them.
Little did they know that it was because the twins were really training like crazy when no one was around to look at them. Their efforts also were paying off. Two weeks of intense training had allowed Rean and Roan to reach one-tenth of the way into the Blood Replacement Stage!
One must remember that their parents were already far ahead 20 years old. They started to practice the Body Transformation system when they were only 5 years old. But even after so many years, Turen is still in the third stage while Hamarlia is in the second. Reaching one-tenth of the Blood Replacement stage in just two weeks is unbelievable fast!
Finally, two weeks went by. Today, was the day that Iaman Nari would come. The elders of the Tribe were already at the entrance waiting for his visit too.
When the sun reached halfway to the highest point in the sky, Juri noticed some movement in the distance. At first, it was just a blur, but soon, everyone was able to see the group. One of them carried a flag that represented their Tribe too.
"That's the Nari Tribe's flag. They finally arrived."
However, Juri narrowed his eyes. That is because he could see another flag on the side as well.
"I see... so it was the Tranko Tribe who told them about Rean and Roan. It really seems like there are a few spies inside our Tribe."
However, that is a problem to be resolved later. First, they have to deal with the Nari and Tranko Tribe group in front of them.

On the continent of Moravia, eight empires have united humanity into a coalition of kingdoms that killed the world’s gods and have sworn to uphold peace amongst mortals.

Molting the Mortal Coil
Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict. This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies. Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul. Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he'll turn to the dark side and end up a villain? Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey. It's not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There's also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It's more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building. It's still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won't pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better. I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after! Updates will be weekly.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
