《What I'll Become》Nightmares
Advertisement
Not long after we left the little body curled up by an oddly luscious patch of grass and wildflowers, were we back to base both of us looking worse for wear. A lengthy report was given from Tommy and I, Tommy leading the conversation, to be honest though my mind didn’t occupy the same space as my body I felt completely, wholly, numb.
Day after excruciating day I lived in an oblivion of gray. The incident blended with my past every time. Sometimes ,without noticing I was doing so, tears dripped from my chin turning the pale dirt and sand dark. I felt the urge to be warm to feel light and I knew one thing would give me that feeling, alcohol. I’d promised to never drink, after my father how could I? Yet here I sat a bottle of warm vodka poured into a metal container, a burning in my throat as the liquid carried me into a time where I could feel something. One drink made me feel hope, the next made me feel light, a whole bottle later and I was unimaginably happy.
About a week after I started drinking I was full of courage, I held a gun to my head and played a little Russian roulette Tommy frowned at me across the bunks
“ Jesus Michael, put the gun down!” Tommy said as he stalked over and yanked away the gun.
“ Oh come on Tommy I’m just having some fun, lighten up” I couldn’t help noticing the last part of my sentence slur just a little.
“ No pardon me I’m just not a sick fuck that wants to see my friend’s brains scattered across the room” scowling Tommy stalked off.
“ Geez what did I do?”
When night fell I was all alone my eyes would droop until finally heavy lids sent me off to a dark nightmare.Dirt would cover my body each grain weighing more than a ton. The child would appear with pale skin and dark circles under a now pair of lifeless gray eyes. Staring he’d search me looking through to my very being invading every part of me he’d tilt his head once he knew exactly who I was, and say “ where’s your brother’s? Why can’t you save us?” Then he’d simply whisper

“ I’m so scared” as tears rolled down both cheeks making a sea of blood that I’d gurgle and drown in glimpsing Ray’s pale face in the bloodied sea.
I couldn’t help them hell I could only see or hear their voice in my nightmares. I was stuck in a hopeless place, I wanted to tear myself apart for my weakness, instead I simply reflected on humanity.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
