《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.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

The Tales of the Revolution
Synopsis: As a scholar of science and technology, Joseph Algorith was a man who pursued his dream in unrealistic methods, using his intelligence to surpass all hurdles in this Galactic Era. He was an idealist that combined his thoughts with realism. However, unbeknownst to him in how it had happened, he had gained the opportunity to research a new system, a massive planetoid shrouded in mysteries and magic. However, to fully realize his ambition and creativity, he must save the human race of this magical world, filled with different races and monsters. “The Heavens had forced me, so I shall propose and never will be disposed of.”- Joseph Algorith Spoiler: Basically, he is reborn, with his knowledge as a scientist of the galactic era, into a new world with magic and aura powers. In this world, humans are part of the 7 major races, but two (or three) are planning to enslave them, while the others are watching on the sidelines. His plans are to develop modern weapons to strengthen the human nation because the mages and aura users aren't immortal or have steel flesh even as they get more power to the point they can deal damage of a howitzer using special moves. Though it doesn't mean that there aren't magical armours (and other things)... Extra: I'm not sure if romance will be in this. Depends on whether you, the readers, would like it or how I develop the story further. And there won't be an exact release schedule as I prefer my pace of writing and because I'm busy in life (school and extra activities, FML). If you find any mistakes, please remind me. Also, my writing style and the pace of the story may be slower than other stories you might have read on this website. Though I may make some revisions with the story, considering my editor's thoughts. Also, my story has some concepts from RTW in terms of the idea of creating weapons in a magical world, however, the plot is mine. After reading, tell me, what do you think of the beginning? What do you think your rating would be.?If possible, comment down below anything that could help me improve or to express your thoughts. Lastly, please NO COPY AND PASTE!
