《Post-Living》Chapter 8: Kill Kiie!
Advertisement
"You're immortal, right?"
Nyx: uhhhhhh, what?
Xiel: You are, aren't you?
Nyx: And what if I am?
Xiel: Well, can you kill Kiie?
Nyx: That... guy?
Xiel: Yeah. Kill her. We want to leave the mansion.
Nyx: Oh, ok. Sure. Wait, you're not going to go ballistic that I'm actually immortal?
Xiel: Nope, I figured it out. Doesn't take much of a genius to do it.
Nyx: Yeah, tell that to Vor.
I'm not hiding the fact that I'm immortal. Well, maybe I'm hiding it from Vor because he may think he's immortal too, and he may start jumping off cliffs, killing hundreds of armies while ultimately failing because of his incapability to think. I maybe underestimating him, but I'm just being careful.
Xiel: Alright, this is how you're going to do it. Just think of killing him, then he'll come to you and assassinate you.
Nyx: Ok, but don't you want to kill the guards as well?
Xiel: Nah, look, I hate Kiie, he did something that I can never forgive him for. Just kill him, then hang him in a rope or something. If we kill all the guards there, the hero might come hunting for you.
Nyx: Then I'd take him on.
Xiel: He's actually quite skillful, and you're not that invincible.
Oh please, I took down an army. Both humans and demons.
Xiel: Anyway, kill Kiie. I can never forgive him..
Nyx: Sure..? But I kinda like it here..
Xiel: Oh fuck off, we lived here for God knows when, but all of us, I mean, all of us wanted to escape that hellhole. You're the only who can do it.
Nyx: Right, see, why haven't you done it?
Xiel: Done what?
Nyx: Killing him.
Xiel: maybe because he's actually fking strong. thats why im asking you for help, you piece of shit.
Nyx: So what's in it for me?
Xiel: Huh?
Nyx: Whaat's in it for me? Like, what the hell do I get after killing him.
Xiel: You know those diamonds that we got when we were in that dungeon? Y'know, when you lit yourself in fire.
Nyx: So.. what about it?
Xiel: He never gave it to the hero. He's actually hoarding... more whips.. for something..
Nyx: Why would he hoard whips? Isn't one enough?
Xiel: Apparently not. Every night I hear those whips just go swish in his room. I don't want to describe the other sound that I heard...
Nyx: God, so, what's the deal with it though?
Xiel: He only spent a quarter of the diamonds that we brought. There's a hella lot more diamonds in his room, I think.

Nyx: Ok, so.. we'll do it tonight?
Xiel: what
Nyx: The assassination?
Xiel: Oh, oh... yeah.
................
What the fuck was that? Everything happened way too fast.
How the hell did she found out that I was immortal..?
Skree: (The 2 of them already know.)
Nyx: (Xiel and.. Reus?)
Skree: (Yeah, them.)
Nyx: (How? Did we make a mistake by making them really smart?)
Skree: (What?)
Nyx: (I mean, how the hell did they actually know?)
Skree: (It's pretty obvious, you came back from a sure-death situation, and you still came back alive.)
Nyx: (well maybe because i was lucky)
Skree: (Like hell, they won't consider that. They aren't dumb, unlike your brother.)
Nyx: Oi, why do you want to kill that guy anyway.
Xiel: It's.. personal.
Nyx: Oooh, I get it, ok. Anyway, I've been planning to kill that guy anyway, and now that he has a diamond stache inside his sex dungeon, more the reasons to kill.
Xiel: Yeah, sure. Just get the job done.
Nyx: Hehe, ok.
Xiel: ...
Nyx: Soo are we doing it tonight?
Xiel: Wh-what?
Nyx: The assassination.
Xiel: Ouw, oh, right. By the way, he's a telepath.
Nyx: Aaah, what?
Xiel: A telepath. He can see through your head.
Nyx: That makes it much easier, don't you think?
-Mansion-
Nyx: God, this has got to be the most anticlimatic end to this ride.
Xiel: What?
Nyx: I meant killing him, on the spot. Why not make it more.. interesting?
Vor: Wait, what? Killing who now?
Nyx: Oh ye, I'm gonna kill Kiie. Xiel said he's a telepath, correct? So just do what you usually do.
Vor: Aand, what is that?
Nyx: Not thinking.
Vor: Got it.
This assassination plan, it's going, well, too smooth. Too fast, as well. This night, I have to kill that guy so I could get the hell away from this place, and also get his diamond stache. Then, everyone will go home, and I'll go buy a fucking horse. I'm tired of walking.
....
Kiie: (hey.)
Nyx: (Oi, you piece of shit.)
Kiie: (Oh, what the hell did I do..? mhmhm)
Nyx: (You must've heard right? Everything I just said to them?)
Kiie: (Yep. But I must warn you though, if you're trying a revolt, it will just end like last time.)
Nyx: (What do you mean..?)
Kiie: (Didn't that little girl tell ya? I killed his brother. Right infront of her.)
Nyx: (Mhm, but I'm the only one who's revolting though. Try and kill me.)
Kiie: (hoho, you think you're actually tough. I know who you are.)

Nyx: (?)
Kiie: (You're the guy.. who destroyed the city of Krux, correct?)
Nyx: (Yeah, so what about it?)
Kiie: (HAHAHAHAHAHA! OhO, I can do something about it.)
Nyx: (Bluffing now, are we?)
Kiie: (No, I'd just burn down the whole mansion.)
Nyx: (What?)
Kiie: (You heard me, I'd burn this whole shitshow down.)
Nyx: (And.. so what?)
Kiie: (uhh, EVERYONE HERE WILL DIE, YOU FUCK!)
Nyx: (Soo?)
Kiie: (Don't you actually care about these people?)
Nyx: (Nah, you could kill Vor too, that would be nice.)
Kiie: (Hahahahaha, oh, that's nice. Tell you what, I'll do it with you.)
Nyx: (dfq?)
Kiie: (Hahaha, aren't you picking a fight with me?)
Nyx: (Yeah, I am. So what about it?)
Hmm, I guess I'll try breaking him, using my other plan. I've bribed some of the guys here with the loot I got from past dungeons, and they pretty much know the revolt. They were pretty hesitant earlier, but they gave in. Let's see now...
Nyx: Kiie! Mind telling them what you told me?
Kiie: Huh, what?
Nyx: Please, everyone knows you're telepathic here, so why not just reveal it?
Kiie: Reveal.. what?
Nyx: Your greatest secret.
Kiie: My.. what?
Nyx: In fact, I've pretty much said it to all the other men here.
Kiie: That I'm not a girl? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING SAYING?
Nyx: No, no, not that, we can pretty much establish it at this point. You. I know who you are.
Kiie: KNOW ME? HAHAHAHA, HOW CAN YOU EVEN KNOW ME? YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME!
Man (1): WE KNOW, KIIE! REVEAL IT NOW BEFORE WE REVEAL IT!
That guy's one of the people I bribed. To be honest, this is a deathwish for them, but they actually took the job. I guess they were pretty sick of living and doing the same thing all over again.
Also, we don't know jackshit about him, Kiie. We're just trying to see where it goes.
Man (2): YEAH KIIE! NYX TOLD US THE WHOLE TRUTH!
Kiie: ....
Man (3): BETTER DO IT NOW BEFORE WE SAY IT, KIIE!
Kiie: haha...
Man (1,2,3): HAHAHAahaha..?
Kiie: So you found out, huh...
Nyx: uhh, yeah.
Kiie: hahahahahahahaha. Yesssss, I'm the owner of this mansion. The hero already gave it to me, so I made a pretty good business out of it.
Nyx: ..?
Kiie: This mansion doesn't just hold dungeon raids.. I also use this for my own.. personal.. gain. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Look here...
The stage's floor opened up and revealed a big tube, with a severed head inside. Wait.. machinery? Machines are invented in this world..?
Kiie: Remember him? Ol' leader here.. turned into one of my best experiments in a while.
Leader..? Wait, Vor told me about this... he's Riel, right?
Xiel: ...you
Kiie: Hmm? HAHAHA, WHAT?!?
Xiel: YOU PIECE.. OF..
Xiel charged at Kiie, but the head woke up, and regenerated, turning it into a human. A mutated zombie, a mutant, if you will.
Kiie: See..? The hero actually funds it! Isn't that nice? We used several forbidden magic in creating these machineries! Combined different parts, with our heads on the game, am I right? HAHAHAHAHAH.
Reus: ...
Nyx: Ok, fuck, I'm not taking this crap anymore.
I leaped in to destroy Kiie, but the mutated Riel blocked it.
Kiie: I was expecting this to somehow happen, tell me, how did you know my secret..?
Nyx: I didn't, actually. We just provoked you in to doing so.
Kiie: I knew it.. I could read minds, you know? That's why while you were busy planning this crap out, I also planned to counter your plan.. HA!
*BOOOM*
The back part of the mansion blew up, revealing hundreds, and hundreds of people wearing robes with hoods covering their face, with their hands lighting up, showing a certain magic element.
Kiie: PLEASE WELCOME MY RELIGION, THE ORDER OF THE 5 KNIGHTS! HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU SEE, NYX, I ALREADY KNOW YOUR PLAN, IN FACT, I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO! ESCAPE THIS, BITCH BOY!
Then, a big roar came from behind the order.
Kiie: Also, you see, this is what you all get for opposing me. I know you're all in this.. and so I have to bring out my.. pets. They cost a lot of money though, so I guess letting them get loose and fuck you all up will be worth that investment. They're my.. Deins.
Nyx: Deins?
They were.. the beasts that I've only seen through pictures and stories. They were... dinosaurs.
DINOSAURS?!??!? WHY THE HELL ARE THEY IN THIS WORLD?
Kiie: Nyx, you look shocked. God, dinosaurs are common in these land, why the hell do you keep staring at them? Why aren't you more shocked by the guys in robes? Or, the guy WHO LITERALLY CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD?
Nyx: No, I've never seen one before..
Kiie: Well, too bad you won't ever get to see one again.
...People in robes surrounding us... A dead, severed head coming back to life... not to mention, Dinosaurs...
I feel like I'm on drugs..
This, this is absurd.

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”

The Immortal Epic
After all that happened... I do think I would thank dr Errhart if I were back to the day this all started, knowing all that happened after. Of course, if I were back on the day this all started with the implied knowledge, I would take and play with his soul in retribution. Oh, how have I grown since then. I'm almost nostalgic. Almost. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember the first days. Yes, I remember me working at the facility, with all the downs and downs but after the experiment, those first days afterwards, I can't bring for the life of me those moments in the cold dark broken room to mind. I never did discover what happened during the experiment. What could occur to burn the whole facility to a crisp and shut down both the main and emergency power supply? Dr Errhart always seemed to fail in impossible ways. When I got out of that underground tomb, I discovered what the experiment did to the world. Beast and monsters feed on the unprotected if left to fester, powerful men from the remnants of my old world have risen up to take their own and might takes up new forms. Oh, and here you must be perplexed. I totally forgot to tell. While the experiment doomed many in the facility and the world above, which wouldn't have happened had they not ignored my notes on the project, I feel like it was all worth it. For at the cost of the precious but secret arcanium, we got our greatest tool yet. Magic.
