" How much is this apples cost? "
" RM 1 per basket. "
" MMhmm.. Prety cheap. Okay, I'll take it. "
The villager that sell apples put them in a plastic bag and gave it to me. I pay to the villager the money. It's been awhile having this peace, but how long can this peace will be holding?
" Fred! What's with the face? Are you spacing out again? Let's go home fast so I can eat! " Loki waved at me. I smiled.
" Loki, is eating all you know? " I replied.
" Yes! No Eat No Life! "
" Atleast try to balance your diet, idiot! "
" Chill, chill. " Loki laugh.
I look at the plain sky, slowly thinking about the horific event happened 1 year ago. I guess I should enjoy this peaceful day for awhile.
* * *
" We're home ! " I take off my shoes, Loki was rushing went to the kitchen because he smell something deicious.
" Oh, welcome back! " Irine replied.
" What's for dinner? " Loki ask impatience. He sit on a dining chair while holding a bag of chips.
" Junk foods again, Loki? We will be having curry. so don't eat the chips to many or you will get stomachache. "
" Fine... "
" Oh sorry Fred, din't notice you there. " Irine look at me while stiring the curry in the pot.
" It's okay, keep doing what you're doing right now. " I look up at the ceiling, thinking about my friends.. who sacrificed themselves just to save three of us. Haul Alpha... I guess Irine, Loki and myself will be holding the guild then.
" Quit spacing out Loki! Come, sit here and let's eat! " Loki pat on the chair.

" Okay! "
Suddenly, a phone at my room rang. I got a chill for a moment.
" Fred, can you go get that phone? " said Irine.
" Mmkay. "
I walk to my room, who's calling us on this time! Ughh.. Hope it's not the owner. I haven't made any money yet. As I arrived, the phone was on the bed. I picked up the call.
" This is The Blank, you pick up the call and now you must follow my orders. "
A strange crack voice in a phone, I guess it's not the owner.That's a relief. Wait, IT'S The Blank! The Blank is Haul Alpha allies and when my leader was trying to remove the allies list, The Blank's leader said everyody but the leader is going to die if he remove it.
" What do you want this time! " I reply.
" It's been 1 year since I heard your voices, Fred Erons. We, The Blank want you to create a group and kill someone. "
" Hah? No way i can do that! "
" I give 1 minute to chit-chat with your friends, Loki and Irine. "
I quickly run downstairs. Heading the kitchen.
" We already know about it, Fred. We'll help you, Blank. " said Irine. She and Loki standing infront of me, smiling, try to cheer up and support me.
" Okay then, I want you to find a player name Nodochi Izuno. He's an apprentice. " said The Blank.
" Wait, what?! I thought 3 of us were the last apprentices! " said Loki.
" What do you mean, Blank? " I said.
" Go pack up, more detail I'll tell you when you ready. " The Blank hangup the call. A sudden quite moments.

" There's no time to waste! We must find this kid right now! " said Loki.
" And do what " I said.
" Kill him? "
" No, you can't just kill them like that! I'm to scared. " Irine hold her arms , tightly.
" We must do this, or we'll die. " I said.
Loki nod, Irine nod slowly.
I know Loki and Irine since when I was first time joining Haul Alpha. It was a peaceful and friendly guide. Loki Azzew, He's role is a thieft. He always steal others food when they completely ignored the food or resources. Irine Nazuha, her role is assasin. Her ability is Stealth, Eagle's eye, Counter dodge, Swing counter. Her ability was the most poweful in the guild. me? I'm a tanker. My ability is Shield and Rush and Roundy Swing. Shield an Rush is where I slash the enemy, use my shield and attack the enemy with it. It does stun the enemy. I haven't use Roundy Swing because I do not know how it works.
" Let's suit up. I'll go talk to Blank for more informations. Knock my door when both of you done. " I said.
" Okay! " Both of them said at the same time, with high spirit.
Then, let's have a big talk, Blank. I dial the Blank's numbers, it's like a right number and not fake ones. The call is reaching, at first it denied. I try to call it again, someone pick up.
" You're role is Demon's apprentice, Irine and Loki is the God's apprentices. But apperently some of my spys found out that this kid, Nodochi Izuno holds both of the title. " Blank said.
" What do you mean both? " I said.
" Nodochi is a Half Ruler. He's a God and Demon apprentices. Which means, he has 2 main powers. If he know this information, Era Orbit Online is dead. You want to get out from this game, right? "
" ...Yes..? "
" Then, kill him. That's all. "
Blank hangup the call. My minds messed up. I punch my room's wall a few times, just to calm myself. I take a deep breathe, release my regret sigh. I open my door, maybe they done changing. Apparently, Irine and Loki was already at the infron of my door. I thnk they heard the conversation.
" So, we really going to do this " Loki ask, with a serious face.
" Yes. We are. " I reply
" How 'bout we betray Blank and ask Nodochi for help? " Irine said. This is the first time I heard Irine say something that seems logical and helpful.
" Wait... That's a genuise plan, Irine! " Loki praise.
" Okay then. If that's make 3 of us better, we will stick to Irine's plan. But remember, if this won't work out, we must kill Nodochi, no matter what happen. " I said.
" Okay then. " Loki agreed.
I click on the map icon. Blanks gave me the location where is Nodochi's at.
" I hope we can make it there. " I said.

High School DEATH GAMES
"'Why,' a woman asked me, 'would they show a movie with things I do not want to see?' She is not unusual. Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds." - From the Great Roger Ebert Be forewarned, this story is not for everyone. It's not even for some people. This is for just a select few who get wet from misery and excited by suffering. This is no level up, power up, let's kill monsters, op mc, fantasy land, standard litrpg garbage you find in basically every other story on this site. If the rest of RoyalRoad is shounen (which it is), then this is Gantz/Berserk. Sorry. I lied. This is darker than Berserk and bloodier than Gantz. Not a manga fan? Then how about Korean cinema? Have you heard of Kim Ki-duk? His works The Isle, Moebius, and Pieta all come to mind. Again, this is not for normal people. There's a bunch of other normal stories for normal people to read. The whole rest of the site library is for normal. This is a special section set aside for a special type of story meant for a special kind of people. If you follow or favorite this, you're telling the whole world that you're a little different. A bit twisted. I guess you could call it the BDSM of reading. Which segues perfectly into the introduction. Are you kinky? Are you familiar with the taboo? Have you ever thought about the depths of human depravity? What I'm trying to ask is, do you like fucked up shit? Do you like massacres and public shamings? Do you like watching people fall into despair, going insane, or turning into psychopaths? Do you get turned on when love is destroyed and hedonism reigns king? Well, I've got the perfect story for you! If you're uncomfortable with profanity, gore, sexual and traumatising content, then I recommend you move on. I won't judge you just cause you're a pussy. And I'm not talking about the fake labels of the other candy ass stories on this site who think their shit is morbid or even remotely disturbing, I'm talking about the shocking, offensive, real fucked up shit that you can't even use incognito mode for and you gotta install Tor browser. (You don't actually need to install Tor, you idiot.) If you love that shit or even if you're just curious, then read on. I swear it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's much worse. - Signed with no love, Marley (written by a friend in the voice of Marley) Unapologetic, cynical, pretentious, pessimistic, hypocritical, selfish, sarcastic, passive, apathetic asshole main character named Marley. Alternate POV: Badass, intelligent, proactive, loving, nice, friendly, optimistic co-main character Sophia. This is essentially a rough draft. Grammar and spelling has been read through and fixed for the most part. If you don't like something, tell me why you don't like it. Don't just rate it low anonymously. Thanks.

8 166Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
