《Reaper of the Shadows》Prologue: Death is not the end
Advertisement
It was the usual routine. Wake up, eat breakfast, take a shower, go to work... It was boring as hell and by the time my shift was over, i left the building. It was infuriating that i had to take another blame from something i didn’t do, it was there fault and they got away with it with a smirk on there face.
I went home after going to a nearby convenience store, buying dinner. I know it’s not healthy for you to buy cheap noddle every night, but im broke and my payday is still a two weeks away.
"Fuck those stupid assholes!" I said releasing my frustration.
As i kept walking i felt like someone was watching me. I couldn’t tell who it was since it was too dark to see. I kept walking and kept turning back to see if someone was there. There was. I didn’t panic in a situation like this, since being able to work this late means you have to be prepared for this kind of situation. As i kept walking and turning to corners to try and evade my Stalker, with no avail. I even tried to call the but my phone died before i could even talk to them (That’s the last time i’ll be buying something as cheap as this). There was literally nothing i could do other than run to my house and hope for the best. As i took turns to try and lose my stalker, i finally reached my house (Or a rundown apartment). I went inside, lock the door, close the window, and took a peak outside. No one was there, thank god.
When i thought i was in the clear, i wasn’t. There, i saw a figure in the corner of my house wearing a hoddie, preventing me from identifying who he or she was and was holding a knife firmly. We stood there looking at each other for a few moments. And i made a run for it. It may be a stupid move to run when someone you don’t know comes to your house (Apartment) uninvited (Unless if there your friend then that earns them a smack/kick to the face). I made it out of the house and lock the door since i still have my keys. But a knife then went through the door and surprised me making me fall down. As i recovered, i made a run for it. I don’t care whether or not it’s someone i know just as long as i could live!

With those thoughts in mind, i was stabbed from behind. I ran as fast as i could and he or she could catch up. As i looked behind, i saw Her. Since she was close to me and there was light from where i was stabbed, i can finally see who stabbed me. It was girl with red eyes, white hair and she wore a mask. As she pulled the knife from my back i stood my ground since i was used to pain and she missed my heart and lungs (duh). I heard her mumbling something but since she was ready to kill me in any given moment i kicked her as hard as i can causing her to fall down. I limped away as fast as possible but then saw the girl again in front of me. She must have took a short cut or ran here without me noticing. She charged at me, knife in one hand and the other looks like a fist. With the wound in my back dodging was difficult but not impossible.
I ducked before she could slice my neck in half and stepped backwards to avoid the fist that almost hit me. The injury from my back is intense and i can fell the pain getting worse. With a grunt i kicked the girl again, this time with less force since i didn’t put my back into it (get it?). Good thing i took Boxing club, if not then i would have been killed by know. As she recovered from my kick she charged at me again, pulling out a second knife and threw the first one at me. I dodge but my the pain was unbearable and the knife made contact with my right shoulder. With a grunt, i punched in front of me hoping to hit the girl but instead she ducked under and stabbed my heart.

As i coughed blood and fell down with two knives in my body (even deeper since i fell down), the girl walked in front of me. I glared at her with rage in my eyes and wondered what did i do to her...
"Do you wish too leave this world behind?" She said.
I was surprised of what she said and thought what was she thinking?!
"Heh, this is what i get for doing nothing but getting bossed around by my co-workers, since im dead i might as well say goodbye to this Fucking world!" With a curse, she smiled.
She was laughing maniacally. Looks like this will be the last time i saw those fucking assholes and good fucking riddance. Then as i was losing blood and coughing blood as well, i died.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
