"Could you turn off the light" Abby said.
Her cheeks were red and there was a hint of seduction in her voice.
Ramza waves his hand on the magic lamp and the whole room turn dark.
"Im not very experienced sir so please be gentle"
"Could you stop that!" Ramza said.
Abby laugh's, her voice fills the entire room.
"What? Im just lightening up the mood make it less awkard"
"You're making it more akward" Ramza interrupted.
"Could you turn that way please?" Abby demanded.
"What, why?"
"Im going to take off my uniform."
Ramza cheeks turn red. "I already told you to stop teasing me"
"Relax i have my shirt and spats underneath".
It was dark but he can still see her silhouette .
Without uttering a single word Ramza turns around and faces the wall.
The room had a bench, a nightstand right beside the bed,a small bookcase in the corner, and two chair on one side.
Abby takes off her uniform and puts them on the nearby wooden bench.
She fixes her hair who was a little bit wet because she took a shower after their meal
After fixing her hair she jumps to the bed and cover herself with the blanket.
Ramza who was at the corner kept thinking about the stares when he and Abby went into the same room.
The faces of the innkeeper and the adventurers keeps popping up on his head,they might be thinking that the inn will shake tonight.
Ramza suddenly slaps himself for thinking that, he cant believe that his libido is getting the better of his trauma.
"I change my mind, im gonna sleep on the bench."
"Are you sure? that bench look mighty uncomfortable"
Ramza stares at the wooden bench it was pretty small, and if he sleeps in that, his feet would have to be tucked in order for him to fit.
"Come on, I trust you" Abby said.
Ramza sighs "Why am I such a pushover".
He takes of his robes place it on the bench and lay down beside Abby, he purposely give's some distance from her.

Ramza then turns to the side facing the wall.
"Hey Ramza"
"Yeah?"
"Could you continue the story of the mystic?"
"It just bothers me that a man with a camera came here before we do"
"Yeah, sure"
"Where was I ? , oh yeah his sole mission was to stop the imminent war 20 years ago and spread knowledge throughout the continent."
"Village to village and kingdom to kingdom he and his merry band of party composing of two female human warriors, a female elf, and a dwarf saves and teaches the people"
"The people keep calling them the five holy lights, because every place they visits get saved and prosper"
"Eterna village was one of them, the mystic thought them about farming and taking care of livestocks thats why the food is so good here"
"Anyways he and his party mysteriously disbanded and they were never seen again"
"Some say they had an internal conflict becuase of jealousy or something"
"Others think there enemies were too many that they band together and decides to assassinate them."
"My mom said that she thinks the mystic hid himself to save all of us"
There was a moment of silence.
"Thats it"
"Yeah, that all I know"
"Ok then, thanks for telling me his story" Abby said
"No problem"
"Good night"
"Yeah, good night to you too"
Abby fidgets around finding the perfect to sleep in, after a few minutes there was silence, She was now asleep.
Meanwhile Ramza was sweating, he can hear Abby's soft breathing and he can also smell her sweet scent.
His eyes were resting but his heart was beating so fast.
Meditating and memorizing his spell shoulds help he thought.
Hundred of spells and a few hours later Ramza was still awake, but he was now more relaxed.
He was now staring at the ceiling thinking about what happened yesterday.
If only he was stronger, if only he had the power to protect or even just save some of them
He looks at Abby, her red lips and her velvet hair glistening in the moonlight.
Ramza pondered on how Abby just leave her comrades just like that, why did she join them in the first place?

Was kind of thing did the bargained from her?
He closes his eyes, all this thinking made him sleepy. As he slowly drifts of to sleep a word escapes from his lips.
"I want to masturbate so bad"
The moon in the sky gradually sinks lower and lower and the lights of the village slowly turns off one by one.
The guards taking turn patrolling the vicinity of the village making sure that no monsters or suspicious people gets in.
The once bustling and noisy village was now quite.
*
The whirs of computer fans , the creaks of an office chair and the sound of keyboard tapping occupies the room.
There was a solitary silhouette in front of a dozens of computer screens. His fingers deftly tapping on the keyboard.
His bloodshot eyes and eyebags is hidden beneath his eyeglasses. Thousand of numbers, charts fills the monitors.
His ones clean labcoat was now dirty and filled with food stains and chemicals.
On his side was his desk filled with hundreds of paperworks, in the corner of it was a picture frame.
On the frame was a photo of a father with his wife and their twins, a boy and a girl. The face of the father in the photo was purposedly ripped.
The guy suddenly stops, a few seconds later a single tear runs down from his cheeks.
"Finally!" he shouts
He quickly opens his drawer and searches for a flashdrive. Few minutes later he finds one and hooks it up on his comouter.
As the files were transferring he grabs the picture frame.
"Mom, sophie, i can finally avenge you". He said as he slowly strokes the picture frame.
His eyes were filled with anger and sorrow.
"Ill make him regret abandoning us in the middle of the war, if he was here none of you would.."
He was getting choked up by his emotions that it was hard for him to continue his sentence.
"Going to his damn fantasy world like some kind of protagonist, leaving his family behind to get ravaged and shot by soldiers."
He grabs his glasses and wipes it with his labcoat.
A notification alert sounded. He looks at the screen, a popup shows up
-transfer complete-
His eyes widens, his expression slowly changes from sadness to elation.
There was still tears in his eyes but a sinister smile replaces the once shaking lips.
He starts cackling, his laugh occupies the entire room masking the sound of the computers.
After a few minutes he stops and look at his phone.
"Better take this to the general"
He sprints toward the door. As soon as he opens it he was immediately blinded by the intense sunlight.
It takes almost a minute for his eyes to adjust to the brightness.
He was a thin and lanky man, in his twenties and his dark eyes is not compatible with his pale skin tone, he looks like a vampire with a black eye.
He ruffles his dark unkept hair and proceeds to walk briskly in the afternoon sun.
He was curently living on a abandoned bunker surrounded by thick green trees.
One of the few places that was not touched by nuclear fallout.
On the side of the entrance was a his run down car.
He then gets inside and drives away.
An hour later he arrives in a heavily guarded military facility.
He stops on a security booth and shows his id.
The guard nods and opens the gate.
He was awe struck by the sight when he entered the facility.
It had hundreds of tanks, planes, state of the art wapons and thousands of soldier jogging and walking about outside.
He then drives towards the central bulding, parks his car and went inside.
Finds the generals office.
"Sir I finally got it" he exclaimed
The man in the chair turn around and face him. He was a well built african american in his fourties.
"Excellent, Mr. Smith, send it to the research team immediately"
"Yes sir"
" Also sir,about the thing i requested?"
"Oh its ready for you, it was a big cost but from your performance I say its worth it"
"Thank you sir"
Smith swiftly run out of the office and towards another building.
"That kid needs a girlfriend" the general muttered.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
