《That Isn't My Imaginary Friend(Cancelled)》15: Zane Fog, Fear
Advertisement
Pandering across the small cell, the masked man came across a small petite female where her silver, long fluffy hair swooped down to her lower hips, complimenting her emerald shade, thin almond eyes.
Her breath was so calm but yet so scared, her chest lifted more rapidly than a normal breath a relaxed human would create, her small, pale hands covered the left side of her pale, ghostly face.
She laid in a black dress that reached her ankles, bent inwards like a shattering ball, her eyes saw no light behind them, they were just a blank stare, a robot stare.
Zane caught her sudden glimpse of his lonely figure, locking eyes instantly like the snap of the thumb and the middle finger whacking against each to under the thumb location of the hand.
They wanted to say something but didn't want to disrupt the dead silence in the overshadowed basement, they didn't want the military soldiers suddenly ganging up on them because they were the only two humans who weren't in a certain community.
Instead, they softly waved at each other from far away, minding their business straight afterwards like nothing ever happened until the rattling sounds woke up the curious eyes as Angela came down from the blinding gleam with a warm smile on her pretty face.
Angela stared Zane down while addressing two resistance soldiers behind her, guarding her in case any attacks were planned inside the cave, she stood right in front of Zane, inserting the key to pull open the gate widely.
"You're a free man with a slight twist, every movement you make will be monitored, understood?" Angela reasonably spoke, still keeping her strong smile on Zane.
"Yes, I understand" Zane responded looking behind him to glance back at the silvered hair girl, receiving a blank stare back as he wandered outside the congested cell, Angela noticed Zane's wandering eyes so she followed it to find the lonely girl looking back.

Before whispering to Zane, Angela unexpectedly pulled Zane towards her small circle, covering the left side of her mouth to place words inside Zane's unwanted ears.
"The girl you're looking at is a serial killer recruited by another organisation that isn't from the government" Angela whispered, gently patting Zane on the shoulders afterwards.
Zane gazed back at the lonely female again, seeing her blank eyes widen in uncontrolled fear, shaking her head deliberately side to side.
"Right…" Zane mumbled to himself, keeping his suspicious thoughts a sneaky secret.
The chilly sky encountered its thin glare onto Zane the soon he plodded outside the basement into the frosty crowd, sensing all the on-guard eyes getting placed on his unknown discharge.
An old man with healthy grey hair headed towards Zane's way, not letting go of his cold stare, shaking Zane's hand when he finally got close from inside the sheltered shadows.
"Nice to meet you, Zane. I've heard great things from my daughter saying you were the person who saved her from a young age" The old man chuckled "You can call me a sergeant fox" Sergeant Fox continued his introduction.
"Nice to meet you too" Zane calmly introduced himself back.
"Now, why don't you come with me and start your military training?" Sergeant Fox chuckled, raising questions in Zane's since he didn't hear about this subject.
"Wait, what? Military training?" Zane blurted out.
"Yes, you don't remember me saying I'm going to recruit you?" Angela laughed for a response.
"But I don't want to be in a military organisation-" Zane said, getting interrupted.
"I don't think you have an option to say no in this recruitment" Sergeant Fox snarled, sounding threatening under the gloomy sky, scaring Angela but Zane, who silently clenched his hands into a tight, gripped fist.

"We don't want someone dying now, do we? No no, but a flick from my thumb can get you instantly killed since I have all the position to label you a terrorist spy" Sergeant Fox aggressively chuckled, placing his wrinkle hands on the right of a quiet Zane.
"Say that again" Zane eventually responded in a cold, murderous voice.
Violent chills ran down both Sergeant Fox and Angela's spine, trembling in utmost fear when Zane tilted his head up, glaring right through Sergeant Fox's soul, a murderous aura out shadowing the sergeant's threatening aura.
All the instinct that was alarming Sergeant Fox in his every decision faded into one thing, the selected flight mode, he tried desperately to escape but he was frozen into the ground, throbbing under his cancelling breath, his lungs ended his breathing the more Zane's eyes were fading to empty and robotic, showing nothing like emotions but more as a warning sign, a death wish.
All Fox's limbs wobbled, tormented by the fear, having his heart leapt into his rough throat, pounding like the sounds of guns penetrating through tough walls while being betrayed with stabbings by terror itself, almost unmanning him into a whimpering puppy, spiking new levels of death.
"I told you, say it again," Zane demanded, penetrating Sergeant Fox's squeezing heart.
Sergeant Fox's tormented state crumbled onto the ground, unable to apologise for his tremendous mistake, his washed, coloured skin faced Zane's unblinking, widened eyes, begging silently to forgive his unprofessional actions.
"I thought you were a tough guy?" Zane asked murderously, squatting down to snatch Sergeant's Fox by the chin, tilting his head up to be an inch way from Zane's monstrous scowl.
"Look at you now, you pathetic human being" Zane whispered beside Fox's ear.
Plagued by the horrendous nightmare, Sergeant Fox felt highly light, following it with an unconscious passing out.
Al he saw in his emptiness mind was Zane's immense 384-foot figure looking down on his pity location, Fox trembled to the flaring, red eyes Zane reflected off on his shadowy, clouded body where bony wings snapped out of his collarbone, reaching the wingspan of 420 feet, wrapping around the front of his body.
Sergeant Fox's powerful status was dangerously lowered to a small amount, being kicked off the throne from a young male he just met recently.
He finally felt something he hasn't felt in years.
Sergeant Fox's dying age finally felt fear, something he needed again in his boring, restricted lifetime.

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.

Cheaters Always Win
Chester Everheart knew that life wasn't fair. Some were born in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed, whereas others were born with a silver spoon with everything at their disposal. A scant few were dropped into another world, filled with monsters and magic and forced to fend for themselves. The latter was a rare, somewhat ridiculous trope; but it happened to him anyway. Despite this he followed a motto that applied regardless of the dimension he was in. Playing fair is for suckers, and cheaters always win. Cheaters Always Win is a comedy-adventure that I've had churning in my head for a couple years now. I'd like to think it still has the charm that most LitRPGs have while also being unique in its own way. Every arc of the story will subsequently have a 'Level Complete' chapter that details all the stats, levels, equipment, etc. gained by the main cast of characters.
