《The Big Bang System》Rest at Last
Advertisement
The final mouse came and, like the one before him fell into the trap. Angela was still not used to the sight of blood but at least now she goes pale instead of gagging. With the adrenalin leaving her system Angela finally realises how tired she actually is as all of her muscles start to ache. Opening up the menu, Angela selects assimilate before dropping to the ground; too tired to even make it to her bed. ignoring the multitude of notifications Angela falls into a deep sleep. The chirping of birds causes Angela and her expression quickly changes to one of bewilderment, she is no longer in the void, instead finding herself in the forest she grew up next to. At first Angela wonders if the void was a dream but, noticing the blood still covering her hands and dress, she realises that was just a misguided hope. Angela picks herself up an starts making her way towards the manor she used to live in. As she nears the manor Angela hears familiar voices, accompanied by sobbing. Entering a clearing Angela sees a group of people she almost recognises surrounding something she can't quite see, grave expressions on their faces. She creeps forward until she can see properly but freezes in place at the scene. Her little sister Charlotte , who was always smiling and asking to be doted on, was collapsed on the floor sobbing and crying. Her big brother Charles is sat beside Charlotte, comforting her with a forlorn expression on his face. What shocked her the most however was the casket in front of them, a casket holding her own body. Angela feels a pain in her chest; her heart beats faster and faster. She wants to rush out and reassure them, tell them "I am here, I am right here" but when she tries no words come out. Angela moves towards the crowd but no one seems to be able to see her. She reaches out to touch someone and her arm passes right through them. Slowly, Angela walks towards her siblings, going faster and faster with every step. Just as she is about to reach out and touch her sister Angela's body stops responding to her thoughts, she wants to move but she just can't. Thunder and lightning materialise out of nowhere and the sky darkens at a speed visible to the eye. Angela starts to panic, she can feel the ominous energy in the air and wills herself to move with every fibre of her being. The people around her - she now recognises them as distant relatives and colleagues of her long dead parents - start to contort. They lose their human figure and instead become massive wolves; grey with long, slobbering tongues and sharp fangs. At this point, Angela's siblings turn their heads to look at her. They opened their mouths in unison "You left us here." they spoke, perfectly in sync with each other. "You could have saved us. But you left, just like mother and father did." A series of emotions show on Angela's face: pain, fear, helplessness. The wolves pounce and Angela is finally able to scream out, though she cannot do anything to change the result; the wolves quickly reach the siblings and tear them to pieces, ripping flesh from bone and skin from flesh. Angela wakes, sweat pouring down her face, screaming in terror for a whole 10 minutes before coming to her senses. She staggers to her feet and wipes her face with the cleanest part of her forearm. Weary despite her sleep Angela prepares herself, she has a reason to struggle now.

Mists of Redemption
In the twenty years since the Gates opened and began releasing hordes of monsters onto Earth, half the human population had been killed, governments collapsed, and a new breed of enhanced humans evolved to protect us — Hunters. The day after I graduated from high school, I tested positive as a Hunter. The weakest Hunter in human history. In a society where the strong rule and the weak become prey, it was a death sentence. I knew that, but I wasn’t going to just roll over and die. Pitted daily against monsters I couldn’t kill and ostracized by other Hunters, my miserable existence changed when I heard five words. ‘I will make you stronger.’ A ‘System’ attached to my soul, one that allowed me to level up and become stronger. But the ‘System’ wanted something from me. All I wanted was to live and enable my family to eat. The price was to become a tool for someone else’s revenge. Note from the author: Chapters are going to be released every Monday and Friday morning. Keep a look out!

8 149How The Weak Live
This was a rough draft. Quite a meh one. The newer version is These Games of Ours. ---------- Lucious is deserter among many, living by dagger and beggary. Argento’s thirst for knowledge is endless, as is his belly. Kora is the perfect soldier, yet her sword grows dull in monotony. Formally known as the Empire's legend, the Captain is now stuck in stagnation. The Gods, grown weary of human deeds, have decided to indulge themselves in a different way. -------------- THE 7 REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF Clichés shall be avoided like the cancerous tumors they are. The world shall not spread its pink butt cheeks for the main character’s convenience. No character shall be thinner than one slice of white American cheese. No female character shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main character is. No villain shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main characters are. Grammar laws shall be upheld sometimes. I, the author, swear not to be a prick. I, the author, swear not to go away without warning. If other LitRPGs are like Skyrim, then this is going to be a combination of Dark Souls and Total War. Don't expect action for the sake of action. Be warned, this is a slow novel. Read the reviews to see if this novel is a decent fit for you. Disclaimer: I do not own that gorgeous cover art.
