《Battlefield Restart (Old Version)》Side Story: The Arcane Devils Apostle (Deleted Draft)
Advertisement
In a blank space that was empty and lifeless was a man dressed in a weird costume that seemed to be made specifically for a court jester of a royal palace. In his face was a smiling mask that seemed eerily satanic, he casually sat on a chair in front of me, then waved his hand in front of my eyes as if to wake me up from my stupor.
"Congratulations, you have just been born, how do you feel?" The weird genderless costumed doll asks with a strange laugh. No matter what he did, a feeling of rejection arose in my heart, it was as if his very existence was something that my entire being naturally rejects. My heart was in chaos as I tried to figure out where I was and... who I was... my own identity.
"Who am I?" After a deathly silence that lasted what was seemingly an eternity, I clenched my teeth and ask.
"You are... Hmm, are you sure you're unable to remember?" The jester annoying asks back. He seemed to be amused by my hearts confusion.
"I don't remember at all." I answer him with a glare. The ill-feelings I felt towards him increased every second.
"You're so damn cute~ To think that you forgot that you were 'born' at this very moment. You are merely a Chimera I created by mixing together multiple beings that have been somehow crossing into that world called Sphera. You're nothing but an animal, a dog I created for fun, don't you feel despair?" The jester laughs creepily as he informed my origins.
"Nope. So that's why I was created, it's so surprising, so what now?" I answer blandly. Things like the reason for my existence didn't really matter, now that I'm here, the only thing I want to do is follow my primal instincts.
"What?!" The jester suddenly stopped laughing and exclaims in disbelief.
"I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep, let me rest for a bit." I say lazily before going to sleep. I ignore the weird jester that was trying to wake me and allow my consciousness to fade. When I awoke I found that the weird jester was able to regain his previous composure.

"You seem happy now." I say while looking at the weird jesters unchanging smiling mask, but in truth, not one part of me cared about his thoughts one bit.
"I've decided to make you my apostle since you're really interesting. You're the only being that I was unable to induce with despair. So here's a reward being able to win against me." He said as he pointed at a door beside him.
"Liar, you just want me to find myself something precious so that you can take it away, how cruel." I retort without even thinking about the fact that he could erase me with a single sway of his finger. It's not like I'm suicidal or anything, it's just that I don't feel any attachment to life, since dying would be a deep sleep anyway.
"Do you want to take the chance I'm giving you or not?" Even though the jesters mask was smiling, his voice seemed very annoyed, it seems my words were spot on. A rumbling sound could be heard from my stomach as I feel the sensation of 'hunger'.
"There's probably food through that door, so I'm going, is there anything else you need?" I ask pretentiously.
"There's a guy I want you to kill, his meat is very delicious, so go forth and devour him. If you don't I'll erase you from existence. After all, something like that would be easy to do for I, the Arcane Devil." The weird jester ordered before pushing me through the door. I feel my body becoming lighter as it descended towards the ground. I look under me and found that I was falling from the high place in the sky.
Oh, it seems I'll die if I don't do something to protect myself, but what to do? I don't have wings, nor am I able to glide, my humanoid body is very stupidly made. That Arcane God guy should have gave me wings or something amazing, why did he have to make me look so normal. Honestly, it would have been amusing if I had something like ten eyes, four arms or seven ears. Wait, why am I getting distracted? What I should be doing now is finding a way to survive.

Oh, too late now, my body smashed into the ground before creating a giant crater. I feel a lack of pain as my entire body turned to paste, and at the end of it all, I was still able to miraculously survive. The shattered bones and flesh formed together to make my body once more, but I realised that something wasn't quite right. When I got to my feet I saw another devilishly handsome guy who looked just like myself.
"Who are you?" I ask. He looked at me the same way as I did with confusion.
"I seem to be you." The guy comes up with an answer after some thought.
"Great, it's nice to meet myself, let's go find something to eat." I nod my head and accept the facts. It seems that I gained some kind of ability after exiting that lifeless space, it's feels very amusing, so I couldn't help but look around for some food to celebrate as a result. I look at the green 'grass' that was under my feet. Why I know the name of the plant was something I didn't bother to understand, but my curiosity of how it tasted like was picked, yet after taking a bite I spat the grass out of my mouth in disdain.
I looked around at the lush world around me and tried to experiment with more organism. The other self of mine followed my lead and started looking for some delicious food, but nothing other than trees could be found. When I finally decided to give up and go to sleep, a humanoid that looked part dog suddenly came into my view. He looked at me in confusion along with the other armed people he was traveling with. Oh, now that I look at him closely, there's something about him that makes my mouth salivate.
"Food..." I mutter to myself next to me.
"Food..." He repeats back. A savage smile appeared on my face as I instinctively prepare for battle, a purple glow of energy covered my entire body as I moved forward, the other me copied my attack pattern while he roared. He charged forward with reckless abandonment in hunger.
The party of warriors react fast and swing their swords at my silhouette. A sword cleaves my body in half, but I didn't feel pain, instead I felt annoyed because I couldn't eat anything with a broken body. The other me who charged even less cautiously seemed to be in a better position. The weapons that hit his body merged into him and turned into symbiotic weapons that were able to be controlled consciously.
The warriors that attacked him fell into confusion, but he didn't let them retreat as he cut them to ribbons, good job! As my body once again reformed I wanted to eat the food he hunted by sharing it with him reluctantly, but fate seemed to be against me as my body split into two and formed another handsome devil who looked just like me. You know what, I'm not sharing the food with you lot, you lot can just run around and find some clothes instead. I'll fight anyone who steals my meat! Oy! Don't start yet! I want it!

8 98Earth Exodus
Elliot isn't the first one taken, he was the last, or one of them at least. Careless divines, gods, or higher powers had been snatching humans through numerous means over the years. Those that returned brought minor tokens of their previous power if anything at all. Over time unrestrained magic became commonplace on earth. Which must have brought attention to us. The earth is ravaged by increasing levels of rogue magics, divines, and a war over resources and experience. Eventually resulting in a mass exodus of the remaining powerless humans by a coalition of gods.Now translocated to Vauthia where everyone has been given a path to power. They're met with an unfortunate reality. They've only been rescued from one dying world to be tasked with saving the new one. While at the same time they're apparently supposed to compete with one another. Meanwhile Elliot wasn't just given a path to power. He was given a choice. The opportunity for true power is offered. When as he reaches for it the power isn't all it's cracked up to be.Systemless in a world where everyone else has access to one Elliot must grapple with a multitude of problems from without and within. The 'gods' might actually be incompetent, uncaring, downright malicious, or all three. His power is constantly three steps behind those who chose the quick path to power. There's also the antisocial tendencies he's brought with him from earth. Can he trust the 'god' who seems to be taking him under their wing? Will he be able to catch up to his fellow earthlings who're ever increasing in power? Is it possible he may just break out of his shell along the way?*** What to expect ***The initial start will be quite slow, building the setting, history, and individuals involved. There is a small bit of progression in these early chapters for the MC, but more along the lines of figuring out how their systemless power works. though once the story gains traction it won't stop.*** Don't tell Elliot, but ***Elliot hates to admit it but he's very clearly antisocial. Not to mention troubles with thinking that stem from several un-diagnosed disorders he'd rather believe don't exist.*** Image Copyright *** //In this satellite image released by Copernicus Sentinel imagery, 2020 twitter page dated Dec. 31, 2019, shows wildfires burning across Australia.

8 231How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
8 142RESCUED AND RISEN
Becoming a stripper or taking part in what most people would term as 'prostitution' was never my dream. Becoming a hooked drug addict was never part of my future plans either. I had always been another normal ambitious teenager with a dream to have a top class job with a huge office on the 30th floor, but all that dream faded and life became a nightmare when I was sold to a drug dealer by my drug addict stepfather, months after mom's illness. The money my stepfather got supposedly kept him high but for me it became more than just being high. My life consisted of abuse, alcohol, drugs,poles and men. I wasn't given a choice to do otherwise, well not until I was rescued or more like pitied and not being killed when my boss and his men were taken out by one of the guy I was sent to seduced that same night. Who is this guy? Well I'm about to find out when I regain consciousness.This is the third book in the mafia trilogy.1.Daddy's Little Assassin2.Caught In The Middle3.Rescued&Risen**
