《The Network》[Chapter 7] Fight
Advertisement
~POV change[Felix]~
It's because I want the sweet sweet experience!
I don't care about the girl, I just want a reason to start a fight.
"Are...are you insane?" The red-haired guy that I'm just going to call the leader for now hissed
He covered his eyes with his hand and sighed, then bellowed -
"Just kill him already!"
The 8 guys got off their bikes and the closest one to me drew a knife and rushed me.
He lifted his arm above his head and slashed down
Time slowed down. Just for a moment.
I jumped to the side, dodging his attack, and threw a straight punch right across his jaw
He staggered and spat a mouthful of blood before coming at me again
"DIEEEEE!"
I smiled and easily maneuvered away from his second attack, his moves were sluggish and drunk.
I proceeded to deliver a low kick to his knee cap
SNAP!
He tried to scream but I was quick to react and covered his mouth with my hand, positioned my right leg behind
his right, and pushed down with all my strength.
He tripped and his skull smacked against the concrete floor with both his and my weight down on him.
CRACK!
He stopped moving.
Congratulations! You have killed an enemy, experience rewarded.
I looked up at the rest of his group and tried to act as badass as I could.
"Who's next?"
Everyone wore a stoic expression on their faces, not because they were uninterested or because it was boring. But because their brains couldn't comprehend the information that they had received.
The kid...killed a guy...with his bare hands...in under 20 seconds.
The only one not dumbfounded by the situation was the leader.
He grinned and did a slow clap, the sound echoing in the silence, the only other sound was the fire quietly crackling in the background.

"So...you are a cold-hearted killer like myself."
I felt like throwing up, I was barely maintaining my composure.
I killed a guy...again!
Sure, it was mainly due to adrenaline and my [skill]...but still!
The leader came closer to me and asked
"Would you like to be part of my group?... We are one man short." He glanced over at the corpse of his former member.
"...What about me killing your...friend?" I answered.
"...Well...he's already dead...and I want stronger members of my crew." He replied
I stared at him.
I killed his member...and he didn't even flinch.
He's dangerous...not to mention cruel
I rubbed my chin, pretending to think it over."How about...no?
His demeanor didn't change in the slightest
"Oh well...that's sad to hear."
He sighed dramatically
"Well...at least do me this last favor...die for me."
My heart skipped a beat.
I start to feel movement from under me and in a split second, a metal spike protrudes from the ground. I narrowly dodge it, but it managed to cut my cheek.
I backflip away from the danger.
I gaze up at him.
Dozens of metal blades and sharp metal debris are suspended around him. With a pushing gesture, all of them fly at me at high speeds.
His face retorted into a sick grin.

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---
