《I don't want to be a hero》Chapter 7: Searching
Advertisement
Sara wanted to look for John and Max, but she didn't want to leave Jess alone. If she was awake, she could tell her she would be right back, but it felt kind of wrong leaving her alone
What if she wakes ups and finds herself all alone surrounded by strangers?She would panic, be afraid and maybe even cry
On the other hand, if she wakes up and finds both John and Max by her side, she would fell safer than with Sara alone
At least, that was what Sara said to herself when she decided to look for the other two
So she got up and started to look around to see if they may be around the wounded
There were more wounded that she could count(she could only count to 30) so she felt a little dizzy when she saw so many wounded all around her.Some were screaming in pain, some were crying, some were quiet and some were sleeping. Meanwhile, paramedics all around were taking people on stretchers or putting them on black bags for some reasons
Sara couldn't find John or Max anywhere, so she decided to leave that zone and look the place she last saw them
First she went where she last saw Max, since it was near, but found the place empty and with no one near
Sara was tempted to ask around and see if someone knew where he was but decided to look for John first just in case
It wasn't really far since the two kids and Sara hadn't pushed Max very far, but it still took her a minute or two to find the place
She found all the debris and broken wood all around the place, but John was nowhere to be seen, just like Max
Not knowing what to do, she decided to do what most kids would do in this kind of situation

Get help from a grown up
And the only grown up she trusted at the moment(besides her big brother max) was the paramedic that just help her
He found both of them, so she was sure he would know where they took them
Luckily, her memory wasn't of a fish, so she remember how he looked like
He had the green clothes, long brown hair and a piercing on his nose. The piercing and the hair were kind of uncommon in men, so it caused an impression to some extent
After searching for a few minutes, she even got it right at the second try. The first one was a girl with long hair in case you wondering
He even recognise her when she talk to him since he made a weird face as soon as he realised who she was. Sara didn't notice at the time, but it was probably a mix of panic, worry and sadness
"Hey little kid, why are you here? I told you to stay with your friend, won't she fell lonely without you by her side?"(paramedic) said while patting her head
"I want to find my two brothers first, so we can all be together"(Sara) said bluntly
As soon as the paramedic hear her say that, he showed a pained expression while looking at her and kept patting her head. I am sure that if he had some candy on him, he would have given to her without a second thought
Instead, all he could give her was the hard truth or a filthy lie
"Your two brothers were taken to the hospital like most of the wounded.Only those that needed immediate attention stayed behind"(paramedic) chose to avoid the truth
"Oh"(Sara) said with a disappointed voice while looking at the floor
She wasn't sure what to do now that she couldn't find Max and John, so she just stayed there for a while trying to figure out what to do next

"Why not go back to your friend?you can look for them later"(Paramedic) decided to give her a hand when he realised she wasn't moving
"Ok"(Sara) said with a low voice and trying not to cry at that spot
Slum kids know that crying bring more troubles than solutions(for them at least) so it was a bad idea to cry at there
All she could do was hold her tears while going back to Jess
She didn't know how long it took her since she was depressed and walking a little slower than usual, but when she arrived, Jess was nowhere to be found
When Sara realised Jess wasn't there, she started to panic, not knowing what to do. She looked all around her without finding her no matter how hard she looked, so instead decided to ask anyone near her
Sara found and old guy near to where Jess was, and decided to approach him to try her luck
"Excuse me, sir, did you see where my friend go?"(Sara)Asked the old guy as politely as she could
"A little kid with a purple shirt?"(Old guy) asked back
"Yes!"(Sara)said a little excited
"They took her in a stretcher to the hospital like the rest"(old man) said to Sara
"Thank you sir"(Sara) remember to thanks the old man after relaxing a little
Even though she forgot to thanks the paramedic with everything that happened, she remembers what he told her a few minutes ago. All the wounded were taken to the hospital, and Sara was wounded
It didn't take a genius to put two and two together
All she had to do now was go to the hospital and find her family

Hunters wait all year for the Festival of Knives, when they put their skills to the test and claim new ranks with every monster they kill. Trapped helping the family business instead of pursuing his own career, Trellin has never been allowed to participate. But when he risks expulsion to sneak out and claim a kill beyond his rank, his hunt is spotted by a senior guildmember. Rather than turn him in, she offers him a chance for freedom: Join her, and sail to the distant isle of Deldynne to compete in the bloody race for the rank of Guildmaster. If they can kill the monster that calls Deldynne home before the other teams do, he'll soar to new heights as apprentice to the leader of the Hunter’s Guild. But if they fail, neither will leave that island alive. Roots and Steel is a Monster Hunter LitRPG series.
8 270Just Another Isekai
Daniel, a moody college kid hates his boring mundane life. He hates his stupid family and his stupid world preferring the fantasy worlds in video games and books instead. Luckily for him Daniel has been summoned to the forgotten world of Utradem. Finally he will get to live his isekai dream! Utradem is a forgotten world for a reason though, and his summoners have there own plans for Daniel. This is my first time writing and I am mostly just doing this to pass the time. Expect lots of mistakes and wierd/ improper formatting. My uploads will likely be inconsistent at best (going to try and update on wednesdays and fridays). The chapters may also be edited as I go along. That said I hope you enjoy and any feedback is welcome.

8 185Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
