《Unknown Past》Volume 1 Chapter 5: The Illusion of Trust, Part 7: Oren's Perspective
Advertisement
(It can't be! This is some kind of joke! Some sick joke! No! This can't be real! This has to be that fake me in his form making a mockery of me!)
Standing there in front of me, trying to shield his already seen face from me, is Hisashi! Hisashi Turbulent! My friend! My friend who died saving me! My friend that I have chosen to put my life on the line for!
"This can't be! Who...who are you!?"
"Oren...It's...it's not what you think!"
"Of course it isn't! The Hisashi I know would never have done something like this!"
"Oren...please leave."
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT WITH MY LATE FRIEND'S FACE!?!?!?"
"The Hisashi you know wouldn't have wanted you to get hurt. Now leave. I spared you before, so don't waste the life I let you keep!"
"The Hisashi I know wouldn't aid the very people that have hurt those around him! You're working for the people that put your school, your students, and Mai at risk! You're acting like an assassin, not a teacher! The Hisashi I know wouldn't be the man who was responsible for the indirect destruction of my home and family! My friend was kind and trusting, not a mercenary in a power struggle that is taking more lives than it should!"
"As Virginia Woolf once said, 'you cannot find peace by avoiding life'. Like you, I have some things to fight for that I cannot ignore. As you said, I'm a teacher. And as a teacher, I cannot favor a select number of students over the whole class!"
I remain frozen in place, not even thinking twice about the fight any longer.
"Everyone I loved in Terraz died because of you! Sueka sacrificed herself so we could both live! Mai is in the hospital because of you! So many people are in a coma because of you! And you talk about not favoring a select few!? There won't be anyone left for you to guide if this keeps up!!"

“That personality of yours. I don’t know whether or not to consider it a blessing or a curse. Are you too open-minded because you are willing to befriend the enemy? Or are you simply narrow-minded because you fail to accept what is really going on? I AM your enemy!"
Hisashi pulls our his sword.
"I will strike you down if you resist! Don’t be stupid and LEAVE!!!”
I remain motionless.
(This isn't him. This isn't the Hisashi I know.)
"LEAVE, PLEASE!!!!"
I stay still.
(Is this...the real him?)
A crystal on his side begins to glow.
"Selot," I hear that Dodge character say through the crystal, "we have an unexpected guest in the preparation room. Take care of whatever is holding you up and get down here, pronto. Otherwise everything we've done up to this point will be for nothing."
Hisashi looks at me in silence, then closes his eyes. Tears begin to stream down his face...
As he walks towards me.
"Hi...sashi?"
"Everything I've done, everything I've sacrificed, everything she sacrificed, cannot end here. I'm sorry."
When within a sword's length of me, he swings his sword with precision. As for me, I cannot bring myself to fight, let alone dodge to my fullest. Even if he has a reason to kill me, I cannot bring myself to hurt him. I cannot. With each swing, a portion of my cloak is cut off. And with each following swing, his sword gets closer to my chest. I continue to lean from side to side and back up, but this pitiful attempt to dodge his attacks is getting me nowhere. All I can do is look at his face. His eyes continue to water as he attacks me. Remorse. Guilt. This is...the real Hisashi. A fake would not have these feelings towards his enemy. Towards...me.

"Wind...Drive...: Tornado...Slash..."
He performs a weak wind slash at my legs, causing me to collapse and land on my back. He puts his right foot over my heart and holds his sword over where I assume is my left lung.
"Oren, please. Leave me."
All I can do is look back at him.
"You know I've always been reckless, mi amigo. Especially when it comes to those I care about."
Hisashi closes his bloodshot eyes.
"Then...Adios...mi amigo..."
And with that, he thrusts his sword into my chest.

Tales of Demons and Dragons - An Original Xianxia GameLit
One or more chapters per day Directly Inspired by Tales of Demons and Gods, with an Italian (European) spin and magic on top of cultivation. Mix of light comedy and very dark parts. Darker chapters are marked with a disclaimer. Synopsis: Jacob reincarnates in his 15 years old body. It's just a few minutes before the Change that brought Demonic Beasts swarming all over Earth. In a matter of hours, all the big Capital Cities are razed to the ground. Dragons invaded Rome; Hydras assaulted Venice. Even nastier monsters lurk in the dark. Sadly, his talent is abysmal, and virtually everyone is stronger than him. And he knows that Demonic Beasts are not his only concern, for humans can be far more malevolent at times. St. Peter, Jacob's small mountain hometown in Abruzzo, houses only a few hundred. And since bigger monsters appear in more populated cities, they are relatively safe, or so he thought. But, he soon realizes that even if he went back in time, not everything is the same. And one thing is for sure: he is not the same. His soulmate is now in front of him once again, but things are different. Maybe too different. Follow Jacob in his struggles to protect everyone, change his talent, acquire strength, confront lost loves, and maybe meet new ones. This reincarnation story shows that people who can go back to their past may not be as successful as they thought. I will write no harem in this story. The protagonist may be involved with more than one girl, but not every female will fall at his feet. Swearing will be censored whenever possible since some people do not like explicit forms. However, the censoring will be minimal, like "Fuc**ng." [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Flo is a hybrid, an offspring molded by a human and a dir. In the world of Fleis, an earth forged in the searing furnace of the great Elders, the act of such was deemed a sin so grim that Flo was then sold to slavery, severing the bond with his parents -never again to feel their warm embrace. With everything taken away from him, he now survives in the hands of a human master, fighting in a bloody cage built by human kin: an arena. He thrives in the death of other slaves and hybrids alike for the sake of seeing the light of tomorrow. Ruthlessly and mercilessly, he fought -until he met an old man who changed the course of his entire story by the blink of an eye. Follow Flo's journey, along with a bird-woman and a human deserter, as he turns from a mere slave to something far, far greater in this colossal and mystic world of Fleis -built using the flesh, blood, and bones of a dead Ancient, brimming with mythical races and magic.
