《The Third Word》Chapter 23

Home-
Before opening the door, I thought twice.
Real or not, it is scaring the shit out of me.
It was getting darker. I waited for mom and dad to return and kept sitting at the doorstep in the cold.
Why would I be guilty? It's not like the information that I have would be of any help to Ethan's case. She's implying that I'm going crazy but there's definitely something in...my house. Why didn't I feel anything outside? It only happens when I'm inside my house.
After a wait of 2 hours, mom and dad returned.
“Gwen? Why are you sitting outside?” Mom asked and jump-scared me.
“I lost the keys.” I lied.
“Oh dear-“Dad opened the door with the spare keys and we went in.
I was scared to step in and kept looking at every corner of the house.
“I’ll make soup for you.” Mom went to the kitchen, leaving me and dad in the living.
“Did you go out?” he asked.
“Yes, I went to the park to meet Stace.” I answered.
“Honey, come here for a sec.” Mom called dad to the kitchen so he left me alone.
“It won’t happen again.” I said to myself and started thinking about my favorite TV show to keep my mind occupied like Stace had told me earlier.
I don't think it's just my head, yet I'll try. I have to prove her wrong.
“We need to replace it I guess.” I heard dad’s voice coming from the kitchen.
I went there to see what was going on and mom told me that the light started flickering as soon as she turned it on.
“Didn’t we replace it just a month ago?” I asked.
“It surely is strange. I’ll buy a better one this time.” Dad said when suddenly the light short-circuited and fell on his head.
Mom screamed,” Oh my god! Gwen get the kit!”

Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]

Taking full advantage of opportunities given and carefully preparing for everything that is to come. The future is filled with trials and tribulations, all sorts of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Will he be able to reach his dreams and do what has never been done before?

Yet some lines are not to be crossed. Without restraint, one achieves nothing. All the power in the universe is useless if you cannot control yourself to use it. “I am no hero. Just myself. Forever am and forever will be. Titles are but words and words are not actions. Why care about what others think? Why hold on to the values of the society I have yet to change. I will bring a new era. The era of truth.” — As of now, I only plan to post this on royalroad and have no plans to change that. Chapters will be --- Harsh critique is more than welcome. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
