《Lucid Dream》Chapter 3: Famous people have famous people problem
Advertisement
As I was crossing an intersection, a truck ignored the red light and ran straight into my car, flipping it over. Out of nowhere, 4 black sedans blocked off the intersection and fully armed men streamed out of them. It was at this moment I knew shit just hit the fan.
Sitting in the overturned car, I pondered about life, the world, the universe and ultimately why the fuck someone tried to kill me twice in a single day as I watched them set up position around me. To be honest, I felt it was a bit overkill for a single guy.
Let see, uncle usually had some hot stuffs in his car. I reached for the compartment and found a fully loaded Glock 18, 2 mags, a military knife, and a retractable baton. This will do.
I counted 16 men, 4 were keeping watch at the rear, 1 was slowly closing in on me and the rest were pointing their muzzle at me cautiously behind cover. Damn, it looked like they knew what happened at the parking lot. I decided that I had seen enough.
I put a bullet in the approaching guy head, kicked open the door and rolled out as fast as I could while firing at the guys that have an angle on me. 2 went down and the rest immediately opened fire. I went on all four and sprinted in an zig zag pattern toward the first downed guy. I noticed he had a ultility belt loaded with throwable previously. So I quickly grabbed that, chugged a frag grenade at the car infront of me, chugged a smoke at my car and dived back into cover. Just to be safe, I threw another frag.
"Well, careful was never enough" I told mysef as I noticed one bad guy running for his life when the grenade landed near him. Too late though. Kaboom!

Now that my beautiful ass was freed of enemy, I started to moved backward using the smoke as cover because the same thing might happen to me.
As soon as I peaked out of the smoke, an intense sense of danger hit me harder than a speeding truck ( hah! The irony). It was not some bullshit sixth sense in those Wuxia novel, mind you. What I heard was the sound of a bullet tearing through the air picked up by my extremely sensitive superhuman ears.
I moved my head barely out of harm way as the sub-sonic hot lead swished past. The trajectory guided me to a sniper on one of the roof top.
Dude! A sniper? Really? Even Superman may cry if you bullied him like this.
"Well, there goes my plan of running as fast as possible. They must get very close now" I sighed heavily, knowing that it was fight or die at this point.
Previously, I noticed the enemies had not got an angle on me yet, which means they were still infront of my cover.
A imaginary light bulb suddenly blinked on my head.
Without further ado, I pushed the suprisingly heavy sport car straight into enemy line until I heard satisfying crunch of crushed bones and screams for their mommy.
When you didn't feel like playing by the rules, just flip the table, or in this case a car, am I right?
While my opponents got distracted by the gruesome sence, I peeked out and popped a few heads. I also did a quick headcount. My impromtu ram took out 3, my jiggle peek took down another 2, which cut the number by almost half.
The bad news was I got myself within arm reach of the rest, bad for the bastards that was.

Have you seen John Wick? Have you heard of Gun-fu? Well, I can't do any of that. What I can do, however, was moving so quick that my enemies can only spin around like dumb kids in a toy store as I took them out one by one. The chaos also prevented the sniper from taking cheap shot at me
Eventually, I picked up a rifle, shoved it into the last unlucky guy mouth then pulled the trigger. When I looked up, that damn sniper had already fled the sence. Bitch, I remembered your face, just you wait.
*Ring Ring*
Ah! What a miracle! My phone survived through all this. Legendary Nokia indeed, I should've use this as a weapon.
Anyway, I answered the phone.
"Yes mother?... I'm sorry. I ran into an accident on my way home. Hmm?... No, I'm fine. Some unlucky dude got ran over by a truck. I'm helping him to the hospital right now... Yes, go ahead. Have a safe trip. Bye. Love you mom"
Fewww, I managed to bullshit my way through. I should also give second uncle a call while I was at it. Let's get to somewhere else first though, and get rid of all this blood. Fortunately, I alter my face or I would be in deep shit sooner or later.
*Ring ring*
"Yo, second uncle, guess what happen?... No, I did not crash your car... ok, ok, I did wreck your car a bit but it was not my fault, here's what happened... *5 minutes later*... Yes, send the clean up crew please"
*Ring Ring*
"Hey, buddy, how's it going? Life's good, eh?... What do I want? Nothing serious, someone want to hit on me twice in a day, I never knew I was that popular... Yes, they do have some gut... So here's the deal, I want to know who, where, and why... C'mon, we are friends right? Friends don't talk about money... How about a discount?... No? Okay then, just send the bill to my uncle... 3 days? Cool, let's have a drink sometimes. Bye"
Stingy bastard! Information brokers were all pompous cunts.

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Heaven Falls
-Book One Synposis- Vorlanys. A realm created by the angels for mortals. For millennia, many angels have lived amongst the mortals, aiding the mortals in their advancement. The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave comments, ratings, and reviews at your convenience. I love hearing from you.
