《A festering world》Prologue
Advertisement
I was in my bed listening to my music, It was nearly 5 PM, I would have to take my sister out of school and but I received a message from my childhood friend, Sarah, she was my neighbor when we were young, we were friends since the age of 6 but she had to move out of the city when we were 12. She came back 5 years later. When before she was a normal 12 years old girl with strawberry blond hair and dark brown eyes, she was now completely red-haired and a lot more mature, she never told me what she doing overseas but I can guess that it was not easy. After nostalgically remembering these moments, I checked her message, she said she saw my girlfriend, Marie, going to a hotel with a guy, she sent me a picture and indeed, this was her, I also recognized the guy with her.
His name was Alexandre de Vivier, her French correspondent, she also sent me a message earlier, saying she was going to the library with him to study. I'm not hot-headed, I was not going to go on a crusade, I needed to be more subtle, I sent her message to say that I was on my way to the library.
I took another road so that I can see her get out of the hotel and I saw her, she hurried herself to reach the library before me, this was not going to happen if she arrives first then she could say that Sarah was lying and modified the photograph, My (ex?)girlfriend and I know that Sarah was a bit jealous of my relationship with Marie so she could use this argument, It won't work since I trust Sarah more than Marie but I won't say that to her since she can be hysterical when flustered.

I arrived at the entrance of the library, I looked for her in the case that Sarah was indeed lying but she was not here, so Sarah was truthful and Marie really cheated on me. I saw them at the corner of the street so I hid behind the library door, to surprise them.
They reached the door and got in the library, their clothes were a bit messy, they must have dressed in a hurry, I got out of my hiding spot and when they saw me they were startled, Alexandre tried to stay natural but I could sense the discomfort in his voice:
" Hey, John how are you doing?"
"Hi Alexandre, I was doing fine but something unexpected happened."
"Something happened? Are you alright?" Was it genuine concern I saw on her face or was it only a facade?
"Yeah something happened Marie, Sarah sent me a message saying she saw you and Alexandre going to a hotel together."
"Sarah? John, I know you trust her a lot but she always was jealous of our relationship, she lied to you."
"She also sent a picture of you two" I showed her the photograph "Furthermore, you and Alexandre have disheveled clothes and are sweaty, which mean you dressed rapidly, then got out of the hotel and rushed here to arrive before me, so, what do you have to say for your defense, Marie?"
She widened her eyes at my explications and opened her mouth but before she could say anything a blue box appeared in front of us.

How to have fun in an apocalypse (Rewrite)
After spending an unsavory amount of time in hell, our protagonist finally manages to escape the place that had kept him captive for so long... again. Unfortunately, even after plotting and planning for years, he ends up in a place not much different from the burning and agonizing Tartarus he once had to call home. Guts, blood, and carnage start to reign over Earth as soon as he set foot in it, much to his dismay. What use is it to cry over spilled milk, though? Tired of the monotony of endless torture, he steps into the world intending to have as much fun as possible. While others might try to raid the Orc Lord with as many people as possible, why not challenge him to an arm-wrestling tournament? The power of friendship will surely be on his side. Why hide from the big, bad wolf in one of your houses if wearing camo in plain sight should have the same effect? Now, making friends and going on adventures would be perfectly fine, if it wasn't for the fact that he hides a few more secrets than one might think at first. This is a complete rewrite! Due to being unsatisfied with the previous version, I have decided to work the story up, beginning from the older chapters! Version 2.0 includes: - enhanced writing and editorial skills - additional information and aspects to characters - minor deviation from storyline and improvements

The deep timber of the man's voice rings out through the still night and my body shivers in fear and disgust. Suddenly another man is at my side, twining his fingers through my hair. I can't see either of them clearly in the dark. The man, Bennett apparently, leans down close to me and takes in a large lungful of my scent as well. My knees begin to shake in terror and a low growl rumbles from his chest."She does smell good. She's pretty too." He says, pecking a kiss to my cheek. My face crunches in despair as I try to pull from their hold. "Let me go." I beg and the first man chuckles. "Awe. The little human is nervous." He says, amusement evident in his voice. A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan." Bennett says, making the larger man grunt."Don't get attached to her. You know what happened to the last one."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
