《Eden Virus》Eden Virus 24: Intermission

The sudden wind blew at them with such force that he could not even get close. Kenjirou watched as the powerful whirlwind swirled around the spot where Ryuuko was. In her hand was a blinding pillar of light, rushing out from her cellphone and piercing the sky. She was covering her eyes, as she stood in the eye of the storm.
Then for just a brief moment; he saw it. The figure of a silver haired person, a being of indistinguishable gender, suddenly appeared behind Ryuuko. He watched in dismay as the figure slowly wrapped their hands around Ryuuko and began to pull her away.
"TAKATORA!" Kenjirou struggled back to his feet and ran with all his strength towards the girl, his hands desperately trying to grab hold of her, but he was immediately pushed back. It was almost as if there was an invisible barrier between them.
He looked to see Ryuuko standing there, unable to even move, with a terrified look on her face. She turned to them and weakly mouthed the word "help" before the malevolent winds tore into his body, shredding his skin and violently throwing him back.
WHAM
"UGH!" He smashed into a building with tremendous force. Disoriented, he struggled to get up but his body refused to move.
"PREZ!" Kenjirou heard Takuya cried out to him. His eyes moved to meet with the gaze of the figure, but their inhuman eyes only give a glance, as if looking down on them like insignificant insects. A sadistic smirk slowly appeared on their face, as if to mock their helplessness.
And then, they vanished.
"NO!"
Kenjirou and Takuya scrambled back to their feet and quickly ran to where Ryuuko was but there was no trace of the girl.
"MITSUHIDE, WHERE DID THEY GO!?" He demanded.

"I-I don't know! She completely disappeared from my scanner! This...this isn't possible!"
"God freaking dammit! Why the hell can't you do anything right you useless asshole?!" Takuya screamed.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!? I'LL KILL YOU!!”
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT YOUR TRAPS!" Kenjirou could barely contain his anger as he shouted in rage at the two. Rage boiled within him, not only from the pathetic bickering of his two clubmates but also from the shame of his failure. To not even be able to protect the one person they were supposed to, he gritted his teeth so hard blood gushed from his gums.
"Mitsuhide, do everything you can to locate Takatora! Track her down, no matter what!"
"Working on it!"
"Prez, look! Up in the sky!"
Darting his head upwards, he laid eyes on the horrific scene of the dark skies splitting apart. Cracks formed where the pillar of light had previously touched and was getting bigger, tearing across the skies like a broken window.
CRASH
Kenjirou held his ears as a deafening sound of glass shattering erupted throughout the land. The grounds shook violently, and the entire area was suddenly flooded with a blinding flash of light that poured out of the heavens.
"What the hell is going on!?"
"KENJIROU, TAKUYA, WATCH OUT!" Juntaro warned them as the sudden pieces fell from the skies like a meteor shower. Kenjirou immediately grabbed Takuya and dove for cover just as the fragments came down upon them and pierced their bodies.
"PREZ! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"
"SHUT YOU MOUTH AND STAY DOWN!" Kenjirou roared.
"YOU BIG IDIOT! YOU WANT TO DIE!?" Takuya angrily protested as he struggled to break free from his tight hold. But the president stayed firm, pinning his friend down and shielding him even as an untold number of the shards continued to ripped into his body.

"LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW YOU GOD DAMN MORON!"
"I told you...SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
Kenjirou could not feel any of this, but he was losing too much blood. They were like daggers; the pieces of the falling skies were tearing him apart and there was no telling when the downpour will end. Desperately, he fought to keep himself together.
"At the very least," He thought, "I can save Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide." These thoughts were all he could mustered as he felt his consciousness slowly slipping away.
Then, the trembling grounds around them finally broke apart. A flash of light enveloped the boys as they fell through the floor into an abyss of white.

Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

A man is summoned to another world by a goddess after completing the nigh impossible final boss of a game. However, this world isn't your typical fantasy world. Though it has magic, it is set far into the future where technology reigns, and magic itself is just a finely-tuned science. How will our hero survive in a galaxy that looks down upon humans? One where his race, which once reigned supreme, is treated like trash along the roadside. Will he, with his diverse crew, be able to save the galaxy while fixing the hostility between the races?

He fell victim to the flames and died. But that isn't the end of his story, as for an unknown reason he was reincarnated as a little puppy. Watch him as he uncovers the truth behind his reincarnation. Don't expect much from the grammar, because english isn't my mother tongue (but please be free to point out major grammar errors). The Cover also isn't mine, so if you are the drawer message me, if you want it to be removed.
