I held the dagger. It was warm as I hid it behind my back. The voices were getting louder, screaming, tearing at me as if I was paper. I couldn't control it anymore. I had to find something to stop this and Yoongi said to kill Angelia. I walked down the road, looking for the pure friend.
"Angelia?" I call out, hoping to catch her nearby.
"What?" she asked. I gasp as she appears. Her feathered wings folded in, and her face was still hurt. I couldn't find the courage to do it. I clutched the knife till it was rubbing against my back. I close my eyes as the voices yelled...screamed at me to do it. "What do you want?" she demanded. I flinch.
"Nothing.." I drift off, lowering my gaze t othe floor. "I just want to apologize-" I was cut off by unbearable pain shot through my head. I scream and drop the knife. Clutching my head, the spinninng increased as I curled up in a ball. Shaking my head, I couldn't see in a straight line. All I could see was the blurry colors surrounding me.
"Savanna?" she asked concerned. "What's going on? Where did this mark come from?" she touched my neck, making the pain escalate.
"The screaming..." I say drifting off. "They're trying to take over." I clutch my head as the screaming blocked out all the rest of the sound. "Make it stop!"
"Let us out." The voices ordered. "Let us out! Now!" I scream and shake my head. A tearing feeling spread like wildfire. I clutch the ground trying to regain control.
"It feels like i'm being ripped apart..." I say breathing heavily. I could feel Angelia's presence near me. It was fading. She was leaving me. I scream in pain as the voices grew and grew. I gasp as the colors grew a venomious red. A red that seemed like only vampires would see when they were hungry.

I could feel the fear radiating off. It was pleasurable, and it brought such peace and relaxation that I was tempted to actually give in to what the voices were saying. Feeling the enormous amount of fear hit me, I manage to take a calming breath and look directly at my target...Angelia.
"Don't lose control," she instructs, "it's dangerous." I smirk before spreading my wings. I look to seem them completely black. It went perfectly with my blond hair and hazel eyes. Angelia gasps as my shadow fell over her as I come closer.
"Anything powerful is dangerous..." I say smirking sinisterally. I grab the knife laying beside her and look at her with curiously.
"You wouldn't kill me." she challenges. I chuckled. Of course I was. Just not with a knife. No. A knife was too good for her. Her blood would only make me more responsible for my rebellion. What I was going to do was much worse.
"Oh, don't worry," I say kneeling down. "I'm not going to kill you...with this." I throw the dagger to the side and held her petrified gaze. "Oh no. I'm going to do something much worse." She backs up as far as she could before hitting a brick all.
"Savanna, don't listen to the voices..." she begins to say but I caught her off by screaming. The pain....it was hurting. More than before.
"Stop." I say clutching my head.
"Savanna, listen to me." she says. I shake my head, annoyed that she kept saying that. "We'll get through this." I scream.
"Listen to you, listen to them!" I scream. "It's always listen!" I cry in pain as they began to take over. The world flashed from blood red to normal colors. I shake my head and fall to the ground.

"Savanna, I know you're in alot of pain, but-" I couldn't handle it anymore.
"SHUT UP!" I throw the dagger in her way, pinning one of her wings. I sigh as I saw her struggle to pull it out. The sizzle signalled me that she was getting affected by the filth on the knife. "You know nothing." my voice was a mix of mine and a deeper version.
"Savanna..." she begins. I shake my head before glaring.
"I wanna kill you with my bare hands."

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
