《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 32: Problems Within
Advertisement
The battle was intense. I wasn't used to fights with many people, or with me controlling many either, I'm used to being cornered by 20 men, and then kill them all with a badass smirk, and with a single slash of a sword, as if I was in a game, and a 'K.O!' sign popped up on top of my head. Man, I should stop playing RPGs. Subway Surfers started getting boring after I kept on hitting millions of score, so I tried the 'RPG' section of games, and they are fun as heck. Anyways, the war was intense, very intense. The Flugres, although quite few in number, were able to kill us at a 10:1 , which was bad, because we only had 5 times there number (they had 40,000 , 4000 controlled by each commander) . Like any normal tactic, the commanders ordered the Flugres to target our commanders. I wasn't much of a tactician myself, Harry is much better in that aspect, compared to me , that is. He rallied our 50,000 members, and split it in half, for each of us. He then ordered the 25,000 to target the Flugres , in a circling pattern, because of how they fight. The commanders who were going after our lives, were Yumi, and Trafalagar. Yumi, a female hybrid of Flugre, and Human, went for Harry, and she seemed like more of the tactician herself. Trafalagar, however, went for me instead, and rather than being smart, he went against me one on one, which was a bad mistake, as I didn't even need to rely on the previous Lords.
"Your life is mine, Hazen, old pal!" and he charged at me, equipped with his sword, as he was a pure, which was rare nowadays. A pure was basically one that was 100% a single being, and that made him/her extremely powerful in its own aspect, yet just as weak against its weakness. Most beings are around 95-99% of there corresponding race, and the other 1-5% of mixed up genes, which would be un-noticible, almost useless, unless triggered by a surplus emotion, like the anger and sorrow of watching all your friends being murdered, infront of you. The bad memories came back, after I thought that. The moment I was blinded by these memories, Trafalagar took it as an opprotunity, and slashed directly at me, creating a gaping wound. The painful memories, and the pain, mixed with eachother, and I didn't understand anything after that.
The only thing I remembered before going crazy, was that Harry ordered a retreat of all personel, except me, and I wondered why. When I woke up, I was taken hostage by the Flugre's, and were at the Reaper Society. "Wha-.. where am I?" I said, as if I just woke up from a good dream, yet all I dreamt was death and blood. "Ah, he finally awakes, poor little Hazen, captured because he went on a teensy weensy trantrum, did you remember anything? You must feel angry at me, awww, how cute!" It was Raizel. He pulled my head up, by the hair, and said, "Okay, shithead, where's Johnny? I know you know where he is, now spit it out." and I moaned a little, because the memories came back, not of the past, but of what happened.
After Harry called the retreat, I seemed to be filled with bloodlust. I knew I couldn't control my body any more, and I saw saliva coming out of my mouth. "Meat! FRESH MEAT! IT'S FEEDING TIME!" I said, in my sadistic tone, and I charged directly at Trafalagar, but he managed to escape before I swung my sword, because the incoming meteor was sliced in half. I could see that the shockwaves were reaching even to the sun. My eyes were filled with bloodlust. I still had some sanity with me, before going completely insane, and in that small time, I quickly created my special barrier, so that the co-exsisting world wouldn't be harmed. After that, I was completely unconscious, with my Alter Ego, Nezah, awakened. Nezah was a pure sadist, and whenever I turned into him, my hair turned to a pure white, like snow, for some reason. My eyes were pure red, filled with bloodlust and ravaging hate, and I couldn't control myself one bit.

I then saw atleast 20,000 Flugre, and with a single strike, all 20,000 of them were cut in half, killed, instantly. "You call yourself a warrior race? It seems like you were to deep in peace that you forgot how to swing a sword! It was such a weak strike, even a baby could deflect it! " I then put my hand on my face, laughing. "This is just hilarious, HILARIOUS! I will watch you all Die in agony, IN AGONY! Now, FEEL MY WRATH!!" and my sadistic meter was off the chart. I then regenerated the half cut bodies, and sliced it again, hearing the lovely screams of those wrenches. "Yes! SCREAM SOME MORE! SCREAM TILL YOU CAN'T SCREAM NO MORE! LOVELY!! SCREAM MY FRIENDS! INFLICT PAIN, AND TAKE PAIN, NOW, FEED ME YOUR SCREAMS OF PAIN!" and I continued this on, until they themselves disentegrated, and a few commited suicide, although I did try to bring them back.
The other 20,000 was scared, extremely frightened, and they retreated. All that was left now was me, and the 9 generals, but before I could do anything, Yumi already left, knowing the outcome. Another commander, who seemed new there, fixed his glasses. "Ahh, so you're Nezah, Hazen's alter ego, also known as the 'Junsuina Sadisuto (Pure Sadist)' fighting you would be troublesome, trule troublesome. But Trine had told us that we must apprehend Hazen, in his form of Nezah, and if you are wondering, Yumi already left, to tell Raizel and Trine, because they know we can't contain you, so we are here to stall you." and I seemed confused. "Ra..Raizel? Y..Yumi? Tr.... Trine? I haven't heard those names in quite a while. Now this is great!If they are stronger then, LET ME FIGHT THEM, LET ME TASTE PAIN, I HAVEN'T FELT PAIN IN QUITE A WHILE!" and I kept on screaming. Whenever I was in the form of Nezah, I would forget the memories that happened in the past 3 hours, yet when I change back to Hazen, its the opposite, I only remember the past 3 hours, but in small chunks, and I've got this far whilist Raizel dragged me towards his castle.
"Now just sit tight, okay ? Thanks!" He said, laughing. I was still confused those. Nezah was extremely powerful, and he was only stopped by Master before, so what had happened? Then I remembered it, I remembered it all.
As I met with the 8 commanders, they seemed full of themselves, thinking they were center of attention. First, the guy with the glasses, and another person, with a cleaver, came and attacked me, like any normal people, I dodged it, then created a bullet hole in the middle of there chest, with my fingers. "Come on now! I want a challenge, not this fodder! Please let me feel pain, LET ME TASTE PAIN AND DEFEAT! THAN LET ME LET YOU TASTE IT ASWELL!" And my masochistic side hit me aswell. The two of them fell, but the man with the glasses, Juno, laughed. "Haha, you are so predictible, Nezah! I knew you would do just this, so do me a favor, and look at your shirt." and I noticed two bombs. "Although they are small, they are condensed , and have the strength of 10 Hydrogen bombs! There is also a chip on your back, teleporting you around 500,000,000 miles away, negating this 'barrier' of yours, as well, now, die in agony, go my babies! Mini Novas!" and I was teleported into the midst of the Earth Dimension, and exploded. Although this would've killed pretty much anyone, included every Lord, Nezah was a mad man. His regenerative speed was so intense, he is also known as ' Shin no fumetsu (True Immortality)' because when I was in the form of Nezah, I was fully in control, the brain was pretty much useless. I would forcibly use my ME to heal my wounds, and since I didn't need my head either, I could regenerate even if I was in dust, however Reaper's and Flugre's weakness is this. Like in Aj*n , you need to cut the head in order to 'kill' them. This wasn't the case for Nezah, something even I can't do myself.

The commanders than started laughing. "That was the oh so formidible Nezah? He was easy as hell, and we didn't even need to activate our Soul Emifers! That legend about him being Shin no fumetsu, was utter nonsense! Now, lets celebrate with some whiskey, on me!" Juno said, and then, they were all amazed in a few seconds. "Aww, missed me already? You should know that was quite painful, I LOVED IT! NOW! THROW MORE OF THOSE 'Mini Novas' AT ME! THEY FELT SO GREAT!" and I started laughing like a maniac.
They were shocked. "Ho... How could you? You shouldn't have even been dust! You should've been nothing more than floating molecules! And.. how did you come here so fast! Even with a teleportation spell, it would've taken a few years!" and I started laughing, in a sadistic way. "Man oh man, you truly are a Baka! First off, not molecules, I was still ash. Second off, my ability to recreate cells is amazingly fast, alright? Although I do forget some memories, it was alright. and third off, I didn't teleport, you dummy, I 'jumped' with my barrier. Didn't you notice the black on your shirt? That was my barrier!" and he was still shocked, so I had to explain.
"Basically, My Barrier, Zettai kurayami (Absolute Darkness) is a special one, just like Raizel's, designed by me and master. Zettai Kurayami uses the basis of teleportation, but amplifies it by a few notches. First off, it creates an entirely new dimension, much like creating a new timeline, perhaps. After that, in this world I am pretty much god, like Trafal*** Law's Ope Ope fruit, I control pretty much anything in this area, so coming here wasn't that hard at all. It works on the basis of molecular transport. Suppose the speed of a caesium atom ( 9,192,631,770 oscillations is equal to a single second) . Now, if you were to make a car that travels at the speed of one kilometer / oscillation of caesium atom, than essentially I would have been here in less than a second, yet I haven't purely mastered it, so, travelling a billion miles, would take me atleast a minute, the same time it took you to feel safe. Anyhows, why am I explaining this? So that you would know how you died! NOW LET ME KILL YOU!" and as they weren't ready for my attack, I striked directly at them, cutting each and every one of them, easily.
Although I don't know why, I still had a string of conciousness left, and was able to leave it without being a fatal wound, after that, I collapsed. I didn't know what happened then, but I was brought here. Then I realized it. There was a person with Raizel while he was carrying me, and that person had a mask on. When I fully regained my consciousness, and strength, I charged directly at him, off of the bed I was on. I quickly took of his mask, and my jaw dropped, and the mask fell as well. "Ahh, so you finally noticed, Hazen~san." Raizel said, laughing. "Well, I'll be on my way now, still have a war to fight, and all that, I'll take care of you later, so, for now, you can leave, rest assure, I'll kill you next time we meet." and he left, in seconds. "N...no... It... can't... be! Is it re- no, it is you. What the hell are you doing here, Harry! Why are you helping the enemy!" and Harry laughed. "Man, that was great, that was truly splendid, it went out just as Raizel~San planned it would. You see , I'm not Harry, I'm ......... " Trinity! She said, taking off her mask. "Harry was killed, a long time ago, but you didn't know that, because you and 'Master' went on an expedition, the same one in which Nezah was first awakened. Anyhows, I came to tell you that everyone who had followed you were killed by me, except for the commanders, Raizel told me to spare them. It was easy to break in, very simple, actually. Oh, by the way, you are restrained, so even if you were to kill me, Raizel~San will kill you, so , have a good day. Oh, before I leave, let me tell you something. out of the few generals you recruited, more than half of them already work for us, so, goodluck, Raizel~San's friend." and she left as well.
I failed, I was a failure, but I couldn't think bad thoughts, I couldn't think these bad things, I couldn't! I must make sure that Nezah isn't awakened again, because it would cause major disruptions, maybe my death, and the stamina it takes would make me immobilized for a few hours. I then returned back to Earth, and told the remaining generals, who weren't on Raizel's side, everything. "Damnit, damnit all! Why did this happen to us, of all people? We are now going to be annihilated from this world." The rest panicked abnormally, some hitting the wall, some eating grass, some peeling there skin, and they were all doing it in the most bizzare ways possible. Then, On Nabtu's shoulder , a hand was placed, and the voice I heard was familiar. "Don't worry, Nabtu! Everything is alright, so don't worry at all. Me and Hazen will take care of the rest, you guys get some rest, and join us later, we are going to end the alliances once and for all." I was relieved. Then he looked at me. "And you, Hazen~Sama! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! I HAD TO SPEND AN EXTRA WEEK DOING CHORES, BECAUSE THE GOD DAMN BILL TOTALLED 3 MILLION YEN! 3 MILLION! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? Anyways, you're grounded from your phone until you pay it back." and in his hand was my phone. "Ahh, Mikasa must have trained you well, Johnny! Now, it's time the tides have turned!" and I felt reassured just by his presence. His presence alone had a ghastly aura, filled with mischief and evil, yet it was fought back with goodness, and kindness. I could tell this is someone entirely different than the Johnny I knew, a few weeks ago. He was, Johnny Wellington 2.0 , or kinda like forever Na**to S**e Mo*e . We then walked like badasse's towards the portal, and headed first, to the Flugre dimension, even if there was a kill order.

Overseer
From the nothingness I appeared. Bodiless, voiceless, ageless, I have only thoughts and emotions to guide me. My one connection to the world lies in the hearts of a small colony of lizards, just on the cusp of maturing. I reach out to them without hands, inspiring them to be more than what they are, shaping their bodies from visions of lost memories. But where do the memories come from? I am always left with more questions than answers. In my lonely shapeless existence the lizards cannot hear my words, and they cannot feel my touch, and I must wonder, do I even really exist? --- Called emotional, abstract, and beautiful by readers, this story is an observational account of a disembodied entity that has the power to influence and change a race of mildly intelligent lizard creatures. Memories of a previous life often serve as inspiration, but also generate questions as to whom the entity might have been before it became an Overseer. (presented in short chapters) (Thank you readers for getting my story into the top 5 ;u; ~

8 188Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
