《Birth of an AntiHero》Chapter 56 – The Orientation Games Begin! Part 2.
Advertisement
Meanwhile... Elijah was a little lost.
Originally, he was going to sit down and relax alongside Wayne and the others, until Wayne spotted the 'Gravity Queen' and newly appointed Rage Queen sitting adjacent from them in the stands.
Wayne quickly warned Elijah to sit with the teacher instead of with themselves, and covered his escape by blocking their view of him.
Elijah: "I've got to thank Wayne. If he didn't cover for me, I wouldn't have made it in time."
Rage Queen: "In time for what?"
Elijah's blood not only froze, but immediately thawed after reaching its boiling point.
How?! How did she know?? Wayne covered their view! How could she even make it this far so fast?!
Directly in front of him stood a girl. Her skin was fair and faintly reminded one of snow. Her frosty gaze matched well with the cool words she spoke. Every word that came forth would drive people crazy, for one reason or another. Her most striking feature? It wasn't her Ash brown Hair or hazel irises.
It was the serious countenance her fierce – yet – adorable face exuded.
Elijah: "...I was just on my way to my teacher, the man in charge of treating me. Why are you-!!
In a matter of moments she unsheathed a naked hilt from her back. The hilt suddenly became a "T" before shooting out a thin blade that vibrated an an audible frequency.
She dashed forward.
At this moment, Elijah reflexively reacted. One eye shone entirely white and a small white orb of light appeared in front of the blade... before popping.
It wasn't the rage Queen's blade that did the deed. It merely popped of its own volition. As soon as that happened, the white coating over his right eye vanished without a trace and he immediately gripped onto his chest where his heart hid.
The moment one of his knees placed itself on the ground, 'Rage Queen' forced her momentum to halt.
Rage Queen: "...Your heart... it's-"
Before she could finish that sentence, however: a mockingly harsh tone resounded.
?; "Miss Rage Queen~ You should've told me you had spotted the FALLEN KING – or wait: didn't you prefer 'Prince?' or something? Heehehehe~"
Rustic red, curly hair served to accentuate her adorable rosy cheeks.
?: "No need to welcome me. All hail the Gravity Queen! The one that replaced you~"
Rage Queen: "Why did you follow me here, Savannah?"
Gravity Queen(Savannah): "It's GRAVITY QUEEN! Jeez, would it kill you to call me by my bestowed title? And I was just... curious. I saw you disappear and came over when I noticed the atmosphere fluctuate a little bit. But look what I found out!
Elijah: "...Hello."
Rage Queen: "Still, I wanted to speak to him alone. Could you-"
Gravity Queen: "Come On~ Share the prey~ nobody will know if one person or two play with him a little bit! Besides, bowing suits him. Hehe~"

A purple glow dotted her fingertips and space seemed to suddenly grow heavier. Elijah was finding his already pained heart in even more distress.
A pair of hazel irises began to glow, but before they could react...
*Clack!*
The silent hall was easily suffused with echoes, as a series of 'clacking' drew ever closer.
*Clack*
*Clack*
A pair of high heels adorned tan, chubby legs that seemed to swerve with swagger and flare. Her hips swung with every step she took, as if dancing to a song that the clacking of her heels orchestrated for her.
*Clack*
*Clack*
*Clack*
One hand on her hip masked her gnawing nervousness, and taught those watching of her pride. Her arrogance. Her distaste of their presence.
While her other hand...
Well, it grasped tightly onto a phone. One that was currently recording.
Oliviera: "A-HA-HA-HEM! Listen up my 20k followers On the blog Oliv-Yayy! What you are all watching right now: is the genuine Gravity Queen and Rage Queen themselves, - caught bullying someone! And that person, is none other than the SEVERELY injured Prince of Shades HIMSELF that I've been helping recuperate. Do you all see how fiercely he's gripping his chest? He was attacked without warning by that lovely, but RUTHLESS queen and suffered from it, not once – but TWICE now. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. even WORSE is the sheer ENJOYMENT THIS BITCH is finding from GNAWING AWAY AT HIS INJURIES! HOW CAN THIS CROOK get away with this?!"
Elijah: "..."
Rage Queen: "...I wasn-"
Gravity Queen: "Are you recording?
Did you seriously just throw shade my way?
Did you just call ME a bitch?!
Who the hell do you think you are?! Fatty. Do you suppose I won't teach you a lesson and crush that phone of yours?! Together with this Prince of-- Oh?? Oh..... Oh! Heheheeehehe~! Could it be...? That you actually like this loser?"
Oliviera: "W-Wh-WHAT?! No – I-I mean yeah, well...maybe -BUT only as a FAN!"
Gravity Queen: "Oh~ Hehehehe~ Well, maybe a walking tub of lard like you has a chance with him! After all, he's a fallen disgrace – and you're just ugly~ Ahahahaha!"
Rage Queen: "First. I would like to clear something up. I wasn't intending to hurt Elijah while he's still injured. You all just happened to walk in before I could speak."
Oliviera: "*Gasps* If she's not lying... then...!"
Rage Queen: "*Sheathes hilt* Savannah. Stop speaking like that. It's infuri-"
Oliviera: "BITCH IF ANYONE'S UGLY HERE IT'S YOU! Besides - It was RAGE QUEEN that asked Elijah out! NOT me!!"
Gravity Queen: "..."
Rage Queen: "..."
Elijah: "...What?"
Oliviera: "Don't WHAT me!! She JUST admitted it!!! She made you kneel to her, she unsheathed her blade as if to 'knight' you and to TOP it off! She asked for YOUR HEART!! OH MY LEECHUMS AND I CAUGHT IT ALL ON VIDEO!"

Elijah: "OLIVIERA DEL-"
Rage Queen: "Delete it. Delete. that. Video. Now!"
Gravity Queen: "...Hehe...Ehehe...ehehehehehe! Haha! What a funny joke, right Miss Rage Queen? You were just bullying him... to teach him a lesson and remind him where he belongs, right Miss Ra--huh? Miss Rage Queen? Why are you blushing...?!"
Rage Queen: "DELETE. THAT. VIDEO!"
The bladed Queen dashed forth, leaving a flurry of wind in her wake. There was only a few moments before she would reach her target, beginning once again to pull out her hilt... but unfortunately, something made her stop cold.
Oliviera: "Hur- Hurt me and you'll be a villain...cuz...because I'm a non-combatant!"
Her hand trembled weakly, fiercely, then weakly once again. For some reason she remembered the little boy from before, taunting her. Acting arrogant in front of her, like a dancing monkey.
This time, remembering the boy slightly irked her.
Rage Queen: "Can you delete that video?"
Gravity Queen: "If you won't act, Rage Queen, then I will!"
The floor shook and trembled. Oliviera seemed to be in a panic as she wondered what was going on.
But that's all that happened. Suddenly an alert was sounded and a red beam of light surrounded Savannah. Bright Red runes decorated the walls, floors, ceiling and windows without discrimination.
Elijah: "Security has been called."
Savannah(Gravity Queen): "Wait – Wait! I'm sorry! I didn't – I wasn't going to hurt her THAT bad! Just scare her a little, I promise!"
Gravity Queen banged and pounded away at the red light, seemingly halting her escape akin to an invisible barrier. Seeing this, Oliviera's confidence soared through the roof.
Oliviera: "Do you see? How violent and embarrassing! This is the self proclaimed replacement for our beloved Prince of Shades...who is only TAKING a temporary break, mind you. He did NOT retire!"
Savannah: "Y...YOU! State your name! I swear on my title as a Generational Leader AND 2nd King: Gravity Queen – That I will remember what you've done!"
Oliviera: "Huhuhu~ Who am I? You don't need to know. After all, I'm a special person and you? You're just a FAKE QUEEN that weaseled on up the ranks after Elijah had to undergo treatment for LOSING(control of) his powers! Bye~ Have fun with security!"
Rage Queen and Elijah: "Wait!"
Oliviera: "Eeek! W-What?? You both...that's really scary you know? Mah heart can't take such stimulation..."
Rage Queen: "Video. Please delete it."
Oliviera: "..."
Elijah: "Oliviera, please? That might give people misunderstandings since I don't think she was trying to propose to me or anything."
Oliviera: "...I.."
Both of them held eager expectations and shining, glittering eyes as they awaited the results of their dual pleas...
...Only to be crushed by the following words.
Oliviera: "I – I'm so sorry! I can't delete it right now, because... because this video is still live!"
Elijah: "..."
Really Rage Queen: ".........TURN THAT PHONE OFF RIGHT NOW!!!"
…
Security came and confiscated Oliviera's phone for evidence... well, her first phone anyway.
'Rage Queen', escaped afterwards back to her seat where the other kings were being protected by security.
'Gravity Queen' Savannah, is currently in detention for using her powers without permission and almost damaging School property.
As for Elijah? Well...
Elijah: "...May I ask why you're following me? I believe I made it clear that I've already forgiven you. I also have you to thank for saving me back there. So, thank you very much.
.
.
...But you can go back and enjoy the orientation."
Oliviera: "*Sniff* No!! I'm following you Be-Because... *Sniff* I didn't know my post would be so scandalous for you!! Over 10 million views in 5 minutes...
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT MANY STUDENTS!!
Are they alts?!
Could they ALL be alts?!
Does Rage Queen have THIS many fans?! I have to make it up to you somehow...
...But more importantly..."
Elijah: "Ahaha, well I don't mind. Really, it's quite funny that she got so flustered back there... Ahem! I mean, well, anyways... hahah, so what's this 'more importantly' that has you wanting to follow me?"
Oliviera: "Well, *Sni--SNIFF* you... you're-"
Elijah: "Mm. Yes?"
Oliviera: "...You're famous... like really famous...for-"
Elijah: "Yes. Yes, what is it?"
Oliviera: "*Sniff*....
…For being really crappy with directions."
Elijah: "Huh...?"
Oliviera: "I... I thought I'd make it up to you by taking you to the teacher's special viewing room, since you would probably just get lost all alone."
Elijah: "(I'm... bad with directions..?
I... I am?
Is that why I couldn't find Mr. Abrams's room after all this time...? That can't be true...can it?)
.....Then please. Please do."
Oliviera: "Hehe Okay~"
.
.
.
Oliviera: "But that was really strange. Why did the red security light go off on the Gravity Que-...Fake Queen after she attacked me, but not on Rage Queen when she made her blade? Wasn't she using her 'powers' to create her sword from that empty stick? Hmmm.
Heehee~ I'm a little curious~"
…
After 2 minutes they make it to their teacher's room...which turns out, was fairly close by.
Elijah, feeling dazed about the absolute reality check of discovering that his teacher's room - which he initially got lost looking for... had been nearby all the while, was about to open the door when he heard shouting. Or rather, familiar complaining.
Noel: "YOU'RE LYING! I'M NOT THE FAST ONE, THEY'RE JUST TURTLES!"
Oliviera: "...Do we even want to enter..?"
Elijah: "..."

Legendary Twilight Farmer
This is a story I created for fun after reading some LN (Korean/Japanese). The first few chapters might be a familiar to some, but then again, it will evolve after that in a very different way. I'll be updating it as frequent as I can depending on my time since I have another story to write. Since English is my 6th language that I speak, don't expect perfect grammar from me. I'm still improving as I go along. [Below is the real sypnosis] ***** Once a hero, now a zero. As a soldier, Bryan Walker was both fearless and skilful. However, fate had handed him the cruellest of tests. He suffered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD and now a paraplegic without a penny under his name. Trying to escape the fickle and harsh reality, he shut himself in. His only companion and salvation was the online game called Last Illusion XX Online. Starting from scratch, he rose from the bottom rung and became one of its Legendary Demon King. But that too did not last as the game ceased to operate. However, this time, it was not without its reward. Having a new lease of life given to him, what could Bryan Walker do next as he dived into the new world of VRMMORPG called Noble Path Online? The state of the art game was the best ever created, bridging between reality and fantasy world. A reality he once afraid of, and a fantasy that he cherished and love. Would he climb the peak of existence, conquering everything the game has to offer, like he did in LIXXO or would he finally find it too tough and to call it quits, yet again. The virtual game world had now become real.

Mana World - Convergence
The story is complete it was a prototype and it is BAD.I do not recommend reading it, I will not edit it in any form, it is still here as a personal remained of how bad I was at the start. Mages are soo cool but without mana you can't become a mage. Well let's see how we can get mana to this world. I'm sure it would be a perfectly safe and excellent idea. First try at writing something like this. Dunno if I will update constantly or not, dunno what will happen with the story and the characters. Recipe: 3 cubic meters of science, 5 shit tons of pseudo science, 2 dantians of mistycism,1/2 cup of stupid references, 1 package of sarcasm, 1/400 tolkien epicness, 1 tea spoon of stupid commentaries, a pinch of craziness and dressed with randomness, uppps, too much randomness. Accepting all kinds of constructive criticism. Well prologue is finished.
