《The Survival of the Prince》Chapter 19

“Practice makes perfect, at least that’s what grandmother always said. That and to always eat collard greens. She thought they were a superfood” – a nostalgic philosopher
Alex brought up the plan made by Albi, which caused his eyes to light up when he heard it, and the three set out once again to make it to the garden shed.
‘I thought that by avoiding a sacred duel father could simply activate the beast remotely… Well, at least this way I won’t have to challenge him to a sacred duel to get him to move…’
The group, sneaking past multiple soldiers, come across a pair right outside the door leading to the part of the garden the need to go to.
Walter looks at them for a moment and then nods and then whispers, “ We can take them. You two take the one on the left, I’ll get the one on the right. On my count. 3… 2… 1…”
Alex gets a strange sense of deja-vu.
‘Wait, did we do this before…?’
But time does now wait for Alex, and Albi and Walter rush forward, with Alex trailing behind them. Alex starts by kicking the soldier in the stomach, while Albi takes the man’s sword and stabs him in the chest.
Alex looks at the corpse for a moment, before turning to where his father was and sees him finished on his side as well. Walter motions to the door and they step through
‘…’
Soldiers, enough to fill a company to the brim, can be seen outside.
‘Do we just have really bad luck, or did they know we were coming in this direction.
The door swings closed behind the trio.
…Domain of Earth…
Suddenly the door becomes covered in dirt.
Then the army commander walks forward, “I knew you would run, just like a rat into a trap. Now that you’re here, let’s start our duel,” Gerald lunges at Walter.

‘Why does this seem familiar again? It doesn’t matter, I can’t let him die… again…’
Alex starts clenching his head in pain, not noticing his father be killed by a nearby soldier once again, not seeing when Albi dies trying to fight off the soldiers, only becoming aware when he is stabbed through the chest.
…
“-, just like a rat into a trap. Now that you’re here, let’s start our duel.” Gerald then eerily lunges at Walter.
‘It moved again…’
Alex watches the fight begin again in earnest.
‘What am I supposed to do now?’
Alex looks around, sees how he’s surrounded.
‘I’m just going to have to brute force it then.’

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
