《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 9 : To Home, Must I Return!
Advertisement
The two weeks Sensei put on me for training was harsh. It consisted of many things such as running kilometres everyday at 5 AM, then boxing with a gorilla, then walked over hot coal, climbing mountains, and any other extreme sport x 10 you can think of , but in the end, it was worth all the suffering. I didnt believe it but in those two weeks I may have grown 4.32 cm taller making me now 5' 7 . The next day when the summer break was about to end, Sensei and Hartsen~Sensei both came to me. "Wah... Hartsen? I thought you were a dead old fool! Where the hell were you?" And Hartsen laughed." Oh Come on shitty brat? Didn't Sensei tell you that it was all an act, sure I was wounded, but it was an act nonetheless." I too, realized the fool I was. I couldn't believe that I haven't been thinking all that much nowadays, but now my mind was sharpened and ready to fight. I bet you I could kill Jennifer any day of the week now.
Anyways, when they popped up , they said, "Now, try to touch both of us. If you can, you passed, but if you fail, you're training will continue, 3x more vigorously. You have 'till Sunset to Touch us, which gives you about...... ehm.... 30 minutes?" And with that, my final training lesson began. The first thing I did was summon my stone, which now enlargened by 4 times. I then seperated into 4 parts and threw two parts to the ground. The next thing I did was use the other two stones and changed them both into clones with swords. This time , I had more control so the clones were much more powerful, they were able to blow him, but sadly not touch him. I was first against Hartsen and Sensei simply watched , but I plan on taking both of them, you know, two birds with 1 stone?
With that measure, I made one clone go towards Sensei and the others at Hartsen. Only 10 minutes remained and I already had problems with those two clones. It was tiring straining both physical and mental capabilities just so that I can control them well. Sensei and Hartsen both thought I was a fool, or so I thought, when they realized my weakpoint and lunged at me, chopping my clone in two. "Gotcha!" was all I said, and they both fell in the hole the two previous stones created. "Damnit! I can't believe I forgot about those two!" they said, but since I knew Sensei could jump high, I had the stone he previously chop, be made into an impenetrable wall. For Hartsen~Sensei I Transformed the one he chopped into a gun which than led him to the exact spot I required.

With him going to that spot, I lunged forward my 3rd stone at him and he totally was caught off guard and as a result he got touched. "Damnit, he got me!" and with that I took the 3rd stone but left the gun shooting at him. THe next thing was to take care of Sensei. What I did was after making the wall, I knew he was going to burst, so I put stone arrows on top so if he was to burst through, he were to be flung with arrows. With that I then transformed the 3rd stone into a gun and the 4th stone was a wall that kept on closing in on him. He was surronded by a stone barrier, that was shrinking, whilst being shot with a gun, whilist not being able to jump. And then it happened. I never knew what happened but Light came shining from it, and all the stone evaporated, but it was a special stone, so I still had it with me, just a bit smaller. "God Damn, you made me open my power, even though you still touched me."
They were both proud of me for finally being able to touch them, However I myself held back, because I learned how to perfectly craft other Soul Emifers, and since my stone can literally become anything, it made beating an oponent that much easier. After that, I went to the airport and left for Japan, telling both my Sensei's that next year when we train I would defeat both of them by the end of the year, they then chuckled because I had no clue of their true strength or power. The flight felt seemingly long but in turn it was quite short.
When I reached Japan, I sadly didn't see Tou or Jennifer, rather I saw our sensei (I.e teacher ) . When I questioned about there whereabouts, she said that they both were hospitalized and as so they couldn't come. So after, I drove to the Hospital which the teacher told me and i went to see them both, Tou first, of course. "She's in Floor 4 Room 5F and Jennifer is in Room 6F, same floor." Said the attendent nurse person . So i went up via elevator to the fourth floor, but the elevator broke down. Thankfully I was alone and able to use my SE to bring it up. When I reached the fourth floor, and to the door of the room , I contimplated whether or not I should open the door. In the end, I opened it.

"Oh, hello Johnny," Said a familiar voice. "Ehhhhh! You're here!? What are you doing here" I said in disbelief. If you weren't aware, the woman of the government who took care of me, Sarah, was right infront of my eyes. "I thought you were like the manaager of the estate, the hell are you doing here in Japan?"."I came here to see a fellow member." she said, I then looked at Tou, who looked dead. "Tou? What happened?" I said when she simply shaked her head. "Oh, nothing." She said. I then stayed there for a while and asked her what happened but she refused to answer, but right when I was about to leave, she said, "Stay, with me." and so I was obliged to wait for her to be done.
"....And thats what happened." Tou said. So Aparently she found out Jennifer was a SPIRIT, tryed to kill her, but managed to get injured herself on the way. "Okay, but are you really sure you're from the government? I never saw you." and so Sarah too explained. "Much like you, she was special, so she had special quarters, your's were for your knowledge, and her for her vast physical strength. At the age of six Tou slammed a heavy wrestler champion to the ground, knocking him unconscious. As so she was locked in solitary for quite some time and as a result she became a bit of friend deprieved. In all honesty, she doesn't want anyone to know this, but she is actually 12 years of age." and Tou flustered up again, kicking the wall, which literally almost broke in two. "No, No, no! Shut up Sarah!" Tou said, and we both laughed. "What's so funny huh pretty boy? Want a piece of me?" and that made us both laugh again. When i was about done with meeting Tou she said something to me, which confused me for a very long time.
After That, I met up with Jennifer who was also quite suprised I was there. "If you want to kill me, can you please wait a little so that I can also kill you?" She said, and then looked out the window. "How are you feeling?" I asked her and she said she feeling okay. She then asked me something vague. "I know it's weird coming from me, but can you help me? I want to uncover the secrets of Tou and a mysterious woman who tried to barge into my room." I then laughed a little bit saying, "Mysterious woman? No that was Tou!" and she jumped in surprise. "From what I gathered, Tou is kind of like me, we came from the same place." and Jennifer was intrigued by this new information. "Alright, scrap the idea of helping me, Let me kill you now!" she said, which made me laugh some more.
In the end, after checking up on both of them, I headed out when I saw someone outside the hospital door. "You Johnny?" and I replied with a yes. "Great, now let's return you to your true home." and with that The person grabbed my arm and I teleported somewhere which I couldn't explain. Tou and Jennifer both felt that my presence was gone and when looked outside, saw something 'Teleporting' when it was actually just high speed traveling. Tou was worried, and Jennifer hoped I was dead. The only thing that came to my mind was for the next few weeks I would have an absent marked, and maybe the fact a FREAKING STRANGER IS TAKING ME SOMEWHERE! With this, I contemplated what would happen afterwards.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is complete and coming out M-W-F. The complete book 2 is available on Patreon
