Side Takoshi
I carried Jia cheng to the nurse’s room to get medical check on Cheng and me, the nurse was shocked seeing us in a bad shape,
“Oh my goodness what have had happened to you both?” Jia Cheng answered with a different question than mine “We got beaten up by other students but we are fine” the nurse then suddenly went and get a med kit to ease our pains,
“This will be really painful but bear with it, this will not take long” after an hour, the nurse treated our pain and we got into a bed resting when I walked to Jia Cheng I saw him sitting at the bed while he covered his eyes.
“Hey is something wrong Cheng? You looked kinda down” Cheng then faced at me and told me “Takoshi…I have another secret to tell you but do not tell Paiz and Saher about this one” He spoke seeing his face looked like he went through a lot of pain and suffering than I did. I calmly told him,
“Go ahead it’s okay I won’t bite or laugh or mad at it”
“Well haha…. I will tell you about my backstory” while saying that Jia Cheng tightly gripped the bed sheet,
Side Jia Cheng
I looked over at Takoshi and firmly told him about my backstory that I burden deep into my mind about it,“Well its like this, do you want to know where did I got this ability?” Takoshi simply told me yes but Takoshi also a bit concerned of how I act right now that’s why I tried to stay calm talking about it,
“Before I got this ability, my parents both are an inventor and a scientist not the greatest they sold a lot of their technologies into other companies including the all famous Stark tech which the location of it nobody really know except for my parents. My parents wanted to experiment a special technology they were working on for years after years when I was little until then many people volunteered to do the experiment but i didn’t get to see it in action because my mother told me it is a secret work so I had to stay put in my bedroom every night. I was in my bedroom upstairs, every night I heard explosions,people screaming,gun shots coming down at the basement I am really curious about the noise and on one night I cannot take it anymore of this mysteries so I sneaked down to the basement i saw a lot of scientist workers at their desk and some at the testing room I reached a certain room where my parents was and saw a man went to a technology that is what my parents worked on”

“I am sure this will not be another fail like the others this time I am certain it will succed” Like the others? I thought, I backed away from it and my foot suddenly touched something I looked at back and saw a arm with blood all over dead bodies were everywhere hanging around some of them even had sharp clawed,large bodies,distorting bodies,furries body. I almost had the urge to puke but I closed my mouth feared that it may alert other scientist in here I quietly bend over to a safe place and look at the experiment.

All scientist stood their ground with doors locked from behind,

My father suddenly ordered his men to armed their guns “All men alert prepare your weapons!”
{Completion: 80%}
Mother suddenly walked over at one of the computers to see the result, “Looked stabled…” stable? Guns? What is going on in here?! Then the machine suddenly had a completion 100%
{Completion: 100%}
{Releasing Experiment 210}
Everyone in this room aimed their weapons at the machine, a large figure walked out and to my horror that figure had dislocated body everywhere I puked at the floor and my mom then saw me “Cheng?!” the distorted being then attacked the armed men. All of them fired their weapons and the distorted being didn’t even took damage continuing its rampaged massacre.
[ran at my mother]”Mom what is that thing?!”
“Cheng! Shouldn’t you be in bed what are doing down the basement I told you not to be here!”
“I am asking what is happening right now!?”
“Look you need to get out now!”
“But-“ My mother yelled at me “NOW!!” I didn’t want to stay here or even leaving them instead I pushed away my mother and confront at the being that is now eating flesh from a dead body, “HEY!!! OVER HERE!!!!” The distorted being glared at me with eyes on its chest and the other at its arm, my father noticed me standing in front of it. “JIA CHENG! GET OUT OF THERE!” The distorted being glanced at my father raising it claws before it attacked I grabbed its arm making it struggling.
“You….You…..YOU WILL NOT KILL ANY MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE!” While I grabbed its arm I punched its head with my right arm and used my left leg to kick the body. The distorted being struggled it to get me off of its arm, some of the men tried to shoot it then my father stopped them, “Don’t! my son is still there” then by accident I loosen my grip and it threw me into the machine.
“Cheng NO!!!!!!” the machine by automatic started itself
{Inserting Serum JC now in progress}

“Mom..Dad.. I have to find a way out of this to save all of them!” before I even find a way out, the machine exploded by a massive amount of energy and all went blank I thought I was dead when I woke up, I have found myself covered in dirt while a little bits of electricity flowing around my body strangely. glared at the sun by a giant hole above me and stood up walked around finding my parents but I have no luck in founding them.
“Where could have they gone to” I searched through pile of rocks everywhere and still no luck until I found them hanging at the wall along with the other workers on the ground dead, the distorted being was left with its head on the ground I ran to my hanged parents and pull them down.
“Mom dad! Wake up!” I pushed both of their chest and punched their heart waiting for them to woke up, I screamed in agony with the pain I am in now suddenly a spark of lightning appear at my surroundings shooting different directions in the building I leaned my head over both of my parents hugged them. The electricity that appeared all over me sparked both of my parents body and eventually woke them up.
[Awoken father]”Uh! Wh-what happened?”
[Awoken Mother]”O-ow, why the others are in the ground?”
Both noticed me at the same time,
[Both]”Cheng?”
“Mom? Dad? How did you-“ they both hugged me before I asked them what happened,
"Thank goodness your alive are you okay?”
“Are you hurt? [Noticed electricity over Cheng’s body] Honey look at this!”
“Amazing! Maybe the serum you have been injected by the machine have affect perfectly on you”I wanted to know whats going on right now and about yesterday“Serum? What is going on in here?”. My father stood up with my mother and looked around my father then told me “You will know everything after we got out of here lets go”
Side Takoshi
When Cheng stopped there I was really curious what happened next, “Then? Then? What happened next?” Cheng smirk his face and face over to the front “Then I moved to Japan that is all” That is not the answer I wanted so I pushed him softly “Oh come on there is more to that story!” Cheng stood up from his bed.
“Maybe next time Takoshi but for now I wanted to go back home”
“Ehhh? I wanted to know more about it well it is late anyway maybe Saher and Paiz with other students went home already. Shoot! Imouto and Hinari might be waiting for me gotta go Cheng it was nice to know your story” I picked up my school bag near Cheng’s bed and ran off.
“Heh, maybe next time Takoshi I will talked about it”
Side Narrative
Takoshi was running out of the nurses room door to the other direction, Paiz and Saher walked into the nurse’s room and talked to Cheng.
“Hey Cheng” Saher greeted Cheng
“Sup” Paiz greeted Cheng
“Oh its you Paiz Saher, whats up?” replied Cheng
“So did you told him about your power?”
"Yeah I did Paiz I even told him about my backstory and also told him you both didn’t know about it”
“isn’t that dishonest?” Saher put his hand on Cheng’s bed and Paiz walked over at the window.
[indistinct chattering between Takoshi,Hinari and Imouto]“Looked like there might be more of them with special abilities hiding around the continents of this world”
“My parents might be shocked about Takoshi’s power” Cheng then lie-down with a pillow on the back of his head then Saher follows too. “Hey Cheng, we haven’t see him in action what he is like?” Paiz then sat at the bed “He does trained at his home he might be powerful”
“I saw his powers and its no joke fellas, he is strong with just two punches he defeated a monster created by a psychopath scientist” Paiz then flexes his arms “My fat chubby arm may not be a match to him then” Saher then release a snow cloud above Paiz’s head one small boulder of ice hits Paiz’s head “Don’t be silly you can transform that body of yours” Paiz yelled “Hey that hurts! You wanna try? Then lets spar!” Saher stood “Fine! Don’t cry if you lose”
“Guys stop it even if we messed around my parents told us that monsters are appearing over the world we have to be fully prepared, hopefully people like us that hid in their own shadows will appear” Paiz stood up proudly “Yeah whenever any monster appeared I will beat the s*it out of them”
“Language Paiz….and Cheng why not tell Takoshi the truth?”
“Because…I don’t really know why” Saher in disappointment of that answer “We just saw two monster appeared and beaten by Takoshi” Cheng then threw out his lightning out the window “This is Just the beginning of them appearing, more of them will come out sometime later but the problem is where and when”
“Yeah I will be worried about that later alright Saher lets introduce our abilities to Takoshi tomorrow”
“Sure but on the area where no one can found out about it or else we might destroyed a local area” Paiz and Saher walked out of the room with Cheng left in the nurse’s room took his bag and went out of the room,
“Yeah..This is just the beginning”

The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.

The Legendary Class
At the height of the Age of Terror, humankind lay shattered, its few survivors scattered like dust in the wind. It is said that at the brink of extinction, the Gods intervened and blessed five champions known as “The Titans” with legendary classes. To this day, every small child dreams of obtaining a legendary class. Whether there is any truth to this ancient tale is unknown, but it is a certainty that in each generation perhaps a handful of those children will, in fact, obtain a legendary class. But, if they ever did, the Gods no longer answer prayers, and, in modern times, a legendary class is often far from a blessing.

Other Tales of En
Welcome to The Other Tales of En, a place where I put short stories that didn't get to be told in the main series. These are scenes and tales of characters I just had to have more of, moments I needed to see, and self-indulgent interactions. I hope you love them as much as I do! Chapters are labelled with initials of the Tale first and have notes for their beginning and end. Any chance of spoilers are listed for each tale below as well as their initials. TABLE OF CONTENTS Tale 1: Taff and Adon (T&A) The tale of when Taff and Adon first met. Slight spoilers for Starchild but not really, let's just say Adon's version of the story in Stormspeaker wasn't *quite* accurate ;) Tale 2: Vai and Echa (V&E) The tale of the meeting everyone tried to prevent. It was bound to happen and this is how it went. Spoilers for Children of the Bear, particularly Fiona's Tale, I recommend reading when you are finished with that series. Tale 3 [IN PROGRESS]: Echa and Tryst (E&T) The tale of how the cowardly pirate and the bitter slave fell in love.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
