《That Isn't My Imaginary Friend(Cancelled)》S2 27: Lost of Humanity
Advertisement
Continent's roared through the thick tension of a bloodshed battlefield, bullets flew past each territory, skirmishing past lucky ones and killing unlucky ones. Both sides were traumatised with fear, knowing the fact that one of them is going to lose their lives and their loyalty to the army they fought for with an assassination of war crimes.
Bodies dropped like birds as both sides fought for the city, wrecking buildings down onto the ground, bursting into dust as more smoke overlapped the sneered horror. Airstrikes boomed across the air, dropping tanks of bombs destroying more of the city that was once lively, and murdering the trapped innocent and the persistent soldiers.
"Zane! Hurry up, man!" A soldier yelled to his left under the collapsed dusty building, poking his light machine gun through the brick holes. Zane was in the exact positions, but something was different about him, he looked more empty than usual. His apathetic eyes gazed at the war zone with a collected heart thumping at the normal ratio, Zane read the war around him and remained calmly composed.
Zane had an older look to his black patchy skin covered by the history of explosive smoke, his left eye forged into another colour that was so white that it glew in the night. His uncut nails with sharp ends were inky but weren't leaking off the cliff, they were more focused on battling his bleak veins that began to take the form of the darkest black.
"Stop treating me like a kid. I'm twenty-three, you know?" Zane blankly responded as he reloaded his clip into his submachine gun before pulling it back so he could begin his shooting. Zane scanned the area and found one enemy approaching, the figure had a physique of a young man, he wore all black with a multi-camo vest, but something on that vest was horrendous to see.

It was a suicide bomber, one that took the influence of the most horrible organization in the war of Syria. The group disbanded from the Government army and the Rebellion army to create a new army that fought for their hideous assumptions. They joined in the fourth year of this unstoppable eight-year war, the organisation used the most horrid tactics to win over territory and shake the fear inside homeless civilians sabotaged by the conflict.
Zane immediately started firing at the terrorist, he used all of his new clip ammo onto the approaching bomber, one of the bullets luckily hit the collections of wired bombs on the terrorist vest and created an enormous shockwave of fire that burnt the nearest soldiers skins and crumbled the lasting buildings that were on their last leg.
"That's your 200th terrorist kill. Well done!" The old man with a grey beard patted Zane's back, Zane nodded reluctantly and sat up from his position to search for his can of meat resting under a crippled panel. He took the cans of meat and headed out of his holding point to get into a vehicle packed with four soldiers to arrive at a protected base hidden in the deep woods.
Once he arrived at the rocky base, Zane got off the stolen military vehicle and wandered through an aggressive crowd full of armoured people, the base was quite large for being a castle wrapped around a small city. It was abandoned for ancient reasons but once the war began, this was one of the main bases the Shadow Resistance Army viciously held to the ground. It only came under a hostile army once in its eight years.
Struggling past the line of the army into the civilisation shook off the heavy feeling as families ran across the market laughing together, trying their best to ignore what was happening outside these steep circled walls.

"Look, mummy! It's Zane Fog. The Saviour of our town!" A young girl yelped with mere excitement, Zane replied with a wave and a simple nod to the smiling parents and carried on his path to a lonely place that had a beaten-down house rotting to the ground. Zane gained the "Saviour" title after he saved the whole town that was unprotected with no seen soldiers insights, Zane took his weapon when he noticed the sudden panic and began firing upon the rushing opposite army, the terrorist army, and single-handedly took out 56 before Zane received help from the courage civilians.
This interaction began the Shadow-Terrorist collision, which lasted for two years and still is continuing as more brainwashed residents around the world joined the terrorist side, resulting in them growing larger.
"Hey Karkoth, what's my percentage again?" Zane asked as he walked into the void that looked like a mess from the scattered furniture collective dust.
"55%, I'm sorry for not finding the way to stop this from reading higher lengths," Karkoth whimpered inside Zane's thoughts.
"No, it's fine," Zane replied emotionlessly.
"How is it fine?! You're being trapped from these intrusive thoughts that are damaging your soul and deleting the roots of your emotions and feelings!" Karkoth worriedly shouted.
"I have emotions, Karkoth, but it comes in a small portion,"
In the past years, Zane went through a whole lot of troublesome situation that forced him to use the powers that became the known worldwide"Devil's Government Serial Killer." Sometimes his hidden secret found a way to reach the opening of the splashing, drained ocean and took control of the situation Zane gave no consent to. It ruined his reputation for the gained friends that left him but later on be caught for using Zane's popularity to their needs, Zane was betrayed and used for so many things that his heart became frozen and cracked heartlessly.
He began to accept the monster inside him and that percentage that was 20% four years ago dramatically drifted to 50%, losing a lot of his humanity in recovery to his newborn age of becoming a monster he was birthed as.
Some friends stayed, they were the most loyal ones. Ryan, Angelia and Arianell, stuck to Zane's side but eventually had to split for their army regiments, leaving Zane in an empty world full of empty compliments and users.
"I was born this way," Zane said to his reflective, smashed mirror, seeing the bony, dripping wings rip from out of his shoulder pads to complement the shadowy devilish horns that touched feet high. The more he stared in the mirror the more he rehearsed his grey memories, something that ultimately shifted the right eye into a small tint of white halving his lasting amount of blue human eyes.
"I was never human,"

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.
