《Never heard of that god? Well, wanna convert?》Conning a Confused Child
Advertisement
Luca wondered aimlessly in the dark forest where little light was to be found.
A complete opposite of the road where Lamas left him on.
Luca could not understand.
A tear formed and silently slid down his cheek. {Not his bum u dummy!}
Why?
Why did they prosecute us?
Why did they go after our small kingdom?
Why...Why must I...Why must I live yet my fath-
"It's cause you're weak kid."
Luca woke up from his zombie like stance and quickly looked around.
He noticed that all the lifeforms in the forest were similingly quiet, as if afraid of something.
Luca slowly, and quietly, drew a finger-sized dagger hidden in his robe's wrist.
"W-Who's there?"
Silence prevailed.
Luca was in a clearing with trees overhead.
Even though he was an elven royalblood, it wasn't his hobby to jump around like a monkey, hwoever, if push came to shove.
His eyes steeled as he wiped the dried tears.
All this time he looked at the ring of trees surrounding him, not letting his guard down.
Of course the thought that there was nothing flew through his mind, but seeing no animals in such a bustling forestry area was worrying.
Sweat dropped into the hood of robe as Luca held onto the blade tighter.

Damn how was I supposed to know that when I spoke it indeed cost a faithpoint a sentence!
How unfair...
I had just wanted to test it out and see my draft, but godamn this sytem, directly taking my sh*t!
I only had...um, lemme count how many points I have again.
Um, uh--- one,two four, six, eight, nine...
Uh oh...ONLY NINE!?!
Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.
It's costing me 2 points a minute to watch, and about 1 a sentence or word depending on the content.

THIS IS A DAMN SUICIDE ATTEMPT AIN'T IT?!
Sigh, not like it matters though.
Aight, lemme think this over.
If you were some country bumpkin---er, rich bumpkin, and in your worst straights, who would you look to?
Well obviosly a person or diety to help, but seeing how they probably believe their god of fake...that's out.
I can't spawn any creatures to aide him either cause that costs too much as well...dammit
I guess I just have to do this then...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luca looked warily around and tried to make as less sound as possible as he moved back towards the road.
"I-I'm sorry sir for disrupting you, sir senior. I'll be making my way now."
He looked nerviously at the center tree as he back-peddled.
Suddenly he heard a voice which seemed to come everywhere into his head.
'Mortal, it is your god which has failed you, not your father. However you must believe in the one who has failed you.'
Luca stood still, looking blankly ahead.
Were these words from an experienced senior?
"S-s-sir, are you...? Nevermind, thank you sir."
Luca merelywanted to escape from the area, however a seed of doubt was placed in his brain.
Why had the senior said that? What had he meant?
How could he had known of his condition?
And if he did, why hadn't he helped his kingdom.
Luca looked confused and angrily up at the clearing only to find that the animals had all returned and everything seemed more normal now.
But a shout from a familair voice scared them away again.
"LUCAAAAAAAAA! WHERE ARE YOUUUU?"

My Life As A Superhero Slash Supervillain
James Jude Jamison is experiencing something a bit odd. He was sitting quietly at his computer desk, playing some kind of RPG, he couldn't which one, although the fate of the universe rests on him remembering which (Oh well, it had to end sometime). So, anyway, suddenly, out of nowhere, he got a bit of a headachne, his nose started to bleed, he then proceeded to make a mess in the family room at the computer room. His mom shouted at him, then he died. Then he woke up. He was reborn. Only he had a UI screen suddenly at the edge of his vision. What the hell. He was meant to have some cool powers, like lazers that shot out of his nipples, maybe some mad dancing skills. He would finally be able to speak to girls without laughing in their faces. Sigh. So this is his story, of how he couldn't decide which career prospect appealed to him more. So he decides to give both being a hero and a villain a go. What could go wrong? *** Edit: 2017.06.18 - 03:08 am EST - JJ seems to have buggered off somewhere without telling me where he went. So I am going to have to piece together this story back from the start with the fragments that he gave me. I will leave the original chapters up, but I will be renaming them so they are obvious if new readers don't want to read them. I am currently trying to write chapter one anew. It will feature new reasons of why JJ starts with the villainous lifestyle first, and the reasons of why he is granted the power he was given. If JJ does come back, I will inform you thusly. Then it will be decision of writing from where he left off or telling him to go choke on his own c**k. If I do decide to take the story up, then it will be a decision of to split the stories in two, and if to keep my version alive and concurrent. Thanks.
