《Different》Chapter 14 - Nightmare

"LET HER GO!"
A rush of air surrounded the area blowing small objects such as leaves sky high. The students started grabbing on to a wall so they wouldn't fall. Daichi became even more angered.
"So you were hiding an ability huh ? Am I so pathetic that you wouldn't even use it on me"
He threw a punch at Soro but he managed to block it with his palm.
"Tch!"
Daichi threw another punch, this time it landed on Soro's temple. Daichi smiled aggresively.
"What now huh !?"
The eye pad on Soro's face fell off from the impact and his right glowing eye could be seen clear as day. Daichi grabbed Soro by the jaw and raised his head up.
"So that's where your ability is coming from huh ?"
He began smiling.
"A weak little shit like you doesn't deserve an ability, how about I take it from you ?"
He grabbed a stick and raised it in the air, pointing it towards Soro's right eye. Akame attempted to get up from the ground.
"NOOOO !"
Daichi swung the stick directly at Soro's right eye. A second before the stick could come into contact with Soro's eye a massive shock wave burst out of it. Daichi was launched in the air, his back was slammed onto the school wall with great force. He fell down completely unconscious. The rest of the students who were grabbing onto him had also been blown away from the force. Mako who had been smoking on the other side ran to the area.
"Eh, what was that noise"
He lowered his head and spotted Daichi completely unconcious on the floor with a large cut on his back. He then looked straight ahead and saw Soro limping towards Akame who had not been effected by the shockwave.

"Hey kid, did you do this ?"
Soro glanced at Mako dead in the eye.
"Piss off...."
"EH, WHAT DID YOU SAY ?"
Mako rushed over to Soro attempting to tackle him. However before he could reach Soro another shock wave burst out of his right eye sending Mako flying across the school. Soro fell down on his knees. Akame got up from the ground and ran over to Soro with the little energy she had left.
"SORO...."
Soro smiled lightly.
"Akame....are you alright...?"
Tears began rapidly falling from her face.
"I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THAT!"
Soro began intensely coughing for a moment.
"Wheres...yugo....."
"HE WENT TO GET THE NURSE HE WILL BE BACK IN A MINUTE, JUST LAY DOWN AND GET SOME REST...PLEASE"
"Hey....Akame...."
"STOP TALKING YOU'LL GET WORSE IDIOT"
Soro slightly smirked. He was so glad that he could protect Akame this time that he didn't care about his own well being.
"I won...Akame....I...."
Soro's right eye began glowing twice as brighter than before. His right eye began burning and the pain only grew worse. He tried to ignore it at first, but seconds later his eye shone even brighter and the pain intensified tenfold. He began screaming in pain with both his hands placed on his right eye.
"AGHH...."
"Soro what's wrong !?"
The pain was not lessening. Soro could feel something was about to happen.
"GET AWAY FROM ME !"
"What are you talking about !?"
"I SAID GET AWAY !"
A light blue aura started appearing on Soro's body. It was as if something was possessing him. Akame backed away from him with a look of terror on her face. Moments later Yugo showed up with a female nurse. Yugo froze after seeing Soro screaming on the ground.

"WHAT'S GOING ON !?"
The female nurse ran up to Soro and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Listen to me, i'm gonna need you to calm down for a moment, I don't understand the pain your in right now but I do know that panicking won't help"
Soro paid no attention to what she was saying. The pain he felt was too great for him to pay attention to anything else. The aura surrounding him began to grow larger as it slightly burnt the nurse is hand.
"Aghh..."
Soro's vision started becoming blury. He could no longer see straight or hear properly. At the very same time Akame could no longer sit and watch him struggle. She ran up to him and held him by her arms.
"SORO...."
Soro's eyes began slowly closing. He had completely passed out from the overwhelming pain, and with this began a nightmare he would never forget. He was in a pitch black room with nothing but darkness. Soon after a familiar voice called out to him from behind.
"Monster..."
Soro turned around and saw Akame standing in the dark room a couple of feet away from him, she had a disappointed look on her face. He began approaching her, he was so relieved that she was safe.
"Akame...."
As he reached her she slowly began to disappear as if she were a ghost the entire time. Moments later Soro heard another voice call out to him from behind. It was Yugo.
"You couldn't even protect her...."
Soro turned around and started walking towards him.
"Yugo...what are you talking about ?"
Yugo then completely vanished, and so it continued. This time Takimi called out to him.
"Why did you let them do that, you're supposed to protect me big brother...."
Soro turned around and ran to Takimi to try quickly grab onto her, but it was no use, his arms went right through her as she began disappearing.
["What the hell is going on....?"]
Soro stood in the dark room for a couple of seconds, he was expecting someone else he knew to show up behind him, but instead he began to hear voices in his head overlapping each other.
{{"Pathetic..."}}
{{"Monster..."}}
{{"Can you even protect your self ?"}}
"Stop..."
{{"You don't deserve to live"}}
{{"Help me..."}}
{{"Why are you here Soro ?"}}
"Stop...you're not real..."
{{"All you do is cause misfortune for others ?"}}
{{"You don't deserve friends"}]
{{"Mom and dad left because of you"}}
"ENOUGH!"
The voices stopped, and a loud deafening sound of a bell started ringing in his head repeatedly. This was no ordinary nightmare, nightmares usually have something or someone coming after you, but this was nothing like that, this was pure torture. Tears began rolling down Soro's face as the ringing intensified.
"STOP....!!!"
Everything went blank. He could no longer see, smell, hear or feel a thing. He had become completely numb, and with that his eyes opened.

Galactic Fist of Legend
In the year 2018 a bright star appeared near Earth. Humanity as a whole was briefly introduced to a race of beings far beyond their understanding. During that brief interaction a proclamation was made, Defeat the Grand Emissary or become the eternal slaves of those who had arrived at Earth. The only chance for victory was for people all across the globe to make a choice. When prompted to become a champion and a play a bizarre game of life or death they could choose yes or no. Those who chose no, went about their lives afterward. All memory of the event was lost despite the fact that their very existence as a free species hung by a single thread. Will those who said yes manage to survive the horror of the game and become strong enough to defeat the Grand Emissary. Can one of them become... The Galactic Fist of Legend. Also, it's a comedy. Pretty obvious, right? Notes: This story will contain graphic violence, stupid humor, nudity, sexiness, and maybe I'll give the main character a pet cat or something. I don't know yet. Still, you need to be pretty mature to properly take care of a pet. Notes2: This story is my answer to stories such as Gantz, Terror Infinity, Battle Royale, Btoom!, and strangely enough... Captain N: The Video Game Master. It is an original story, but it does seek to give a similar vibe to some of those tales of legend. However, it is not meant to be an overly serious tale as I have decided that the new stories that I release in the coming year will be mostly comedies.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
