《Was it meant to be?》Ch5: Strengthening
Advertisement
Now that I have reunited with Emma, I'm heading back to the apartment. For the past hour my companion has been complaining about the current state of my suit...
*Beep**Beep* And don't you even think about entering our building covered in toxic mud, the stains will take ages to come off.
The building is already filthy though...
*Beep**Beep* What was that sweetie? Did I hear you complaining?
N-no mam!
It's nice to listen to her while she is ranting, I probably shouldn't make fun of her right now, but there is no way such words can't bring a smile to my face, I have a feeling she likes this too.
*Beep**Beep* Oh boy, why did I even let you go- Kin. Stop. Right now.
She sounds really concerned for some reason, I stop dead in my tracks.
What's wrong?
*Click* There is something behind us, do not turn around.
Something?... Please describe...
*Click* Roughly two heads taller than you, tremendously bulky and clearly radioactive.
*Click* There are no records on the creature.
Her words are really concerning... I'll prepare my utility blade, it is not military grade, but maybe I can use it to buy some time.
*Click* Listen, I have taken partial countrol of that building.
*Click* I will attempt to restrain it with wiring, while it is bound, run for your building.
Understood... I really should do as she says right now, she sounds worried.
*Click* On three... One... Two... NOW!
As if I were trying to stop a reactor failure in time, I zoom in the direction of our apartment. While my suit's main function isn't physical enhancing, it can still moderately enhance my physical condition, which is kinda necessary right now.
*Click* Keep running, do not look back, when you get there, make sure yo-
*Boom*
*Click* Forget it, just get to the building.

Trying to keep the huge explosion out of my mind, I focus on reaching the building down the road.
*Crash* *Bang*
All around me I hear destruction, glass breaking, walls collapsing, more explosions.
*Screeeeeech*
When I get in the ground floor of my building, an ear-piercing cry overwhelms my senses, I immediately freeze up, my hands start feeling numb, my head is spinning... I'm going to die here.
*Click* KIN... MOVE...
*Click*...*Click*...
Emma is trying to talk to me, but my ears won't work, my legs aren't moving, only my eyes appear to be working, lakes of tears start coming out of them.
By now my knees are shivering, my arms aren't responding even my vision is starting to become blurry, a cloud of dust comes from behind me, I can only assume something has tore down a wall.
... KIN!... PLEASE
Emma!!... that last cry snaps me out of that trance, almost automatically I bolt up the stairs, into the hallway that leads to my room. Emma doesn't miss that chance and closes the wall behind me, and the one behind that, and the one behind tha...t...
*Beep* Numerous anomalies detected, contacting HQ... September 29, 2040, 10:55 - 5th mark
*Beep**Beep* You shut up... *Sob*

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.

Sanguine Paradise
Micheal is a young guy in his late teens who just graduated from high school and now he honestly does not know what to do with himself. Sitting in his chair just relaxing and browsing the shit-show that was the internet, doing random stuff, he suddenly becomes oddly weary. The next moment he's fuck-knows-where and everything seems rather.... odd? He was rather confident in himself, that he usually didn't have a 360-degree field of vision, and that everything wasn't always so... gigantic. Something was really off... As if to confirm his thoughts, the very next second a series of prompts invaded his sight followed by a rather soothing voice. [Soul restoration - Completed!] [Welcome to Eve] [Status...... Species: Glade Mosquito.....] Slowly taking in everything laid out before him, Micheal responded with the most intelligent and sagely response possible. "Huh......." As such Micheal's unending search for power, adventure, and family begins. WARNING:This story features a protagonist with unconventional views and morals. In a world where only strength rules, concepts of good and evil become blurred as they fade to inutility. If you are looking for a goody-two-shoes, upholder of justice, and who goes around unconditionally saving any and all people in distress, this story is most likely not your cup of tea. It can also get pretty dark and sensual at times, you have been warned. Release schedule, Monday-Wednesday-Friday

Pink Mage
There are many types of Mages; The Arcane Mages stuck in their towers studiously dedicated to magic and understanding, The Elemental Mages the most powerful and versatile branch, and finally the color mages who are a potent mix of the two. Of the color Mages, there are the primary Red, Blue, Yellow the rare White, Black, Infrared, and Ultraviolet the legendary Gamma and Beta, and finally there are the secondary colors, also known as the mixs Green, Brown, Orange, Purple, and finally Pink. Updates will be sporadic based on inspiration and motivation. Warning: I am a lazy uninspired individual so ya... So the inspiration for this is how everyone online is always a carry or assassin and nobody plays support classes to help the team. Also, there have been studies that the "support" roles at work in RL never get recognition for keeping the company cogs greased and turning. It's always the "top" [employee title] and the extra stuff people do to keep the business running is never appreciated. So I decided to wright Pink Mage. He is a support, though he has spells so he isn't a [Support] and incapable of defending himself. None of the classes are completely useless in a fight or without proper application. But the [Pink Mage] class is bugged so that there is no way to gimp the system to legendary status. All the other Solo legends can... well... Solo, but a [Legendary Pink Mage] can't solo, period. Sure he could cast a mix of spells so that an army is basically chickens on the chopping block but he would still have to go out there and gut them with a knife one by one. I don't own the title image, It was grabbed from public domain. Warning: the content warnings are real, though the content warned of is sporadic. I don't try to right that content specifically but Micky's life won't shy away from it! So yeah, rating R... Note: This is neither a 'Feel Good' or a 'Tragedy' and doesn't have those tags for a reason. This is the 'Real' biography and adventurers of the MC as I see the fantasy universe. So it is neither going to have extra lucky encounters or terrible ones (Except there will be, because you know, story.)
