《Battlefield NYC (LitRPG Apocalypse)》Chapter 18: Reflections on the Enemy (?)
Advertisement
These bastards weren't just trying to kill him, after all. They wanted everyone else dead too. That meant something even deeper, somehow darker and scarier was going on here. Was this a cult? A group of religious fanatics who believed in some sort of apocalypse scenario involving the System and the world ending?
No, it couldn't be that. If they were like that then they wouldn't have attacked in such an indiscriminate way—they would have taken aim at specific people first, maybe go for the ones with high status points or whatever, before moving onto their next victim.
It had to be something with the System. Lance refused to believe that so many normal people had suddenly become insane.
So why hadn't he or Sophie been affected? Well, there wasn't really much point asking that now anyway: if they got out alive they could always look into that later when things had calmed down again. Right now though, what mattered more than anything was keeping himself safe while he tried to figure out how he should approach this situation. What was he supposed to do about this new batch of crazed ability-toting lunatics? He didn't even know where they'd come from, nor did he know who was behind them, or even why they were doing all of this.
Okay, maybe it was too early to assume they were hostile. Many of them had been so far, but a few--like those two weird policemen--were still safe. Maybe these guys would be too.
That thought was part of the reason why he was going to try to get a better handle on these people by trying to communicate with one of their number instead of just fighting them like everyone else seemed to be doing.
Lance stood up from his seat and walked over towards the door of the room; the last time he had seen anyone move outside the hallway, it had been the cops. Whoever came through here next could potentially be friendly: after all, if not then he could always kill them as soon as they tried violence on him. And it would come down to violence if peace didn't work, he knew that. No use risking escaping for them to attack him again later on, or worse yet, have someone more dangerous than themselves show up and start killing innocent victims all around town.

If there were any other innocent victims still alive, that was.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
