《Another world? what's the difference?》Chapter 20 "Next thing to do"

Some of them were crying. Either because of happy or sad. They never had war before, in fact even their fighters mainly became hunters rather than fighters.
Some of them showed their shaking hands. One of them curled themself in the corner, and mostly still shocked from killing others.
"have a seat sir Yana" Shanti brought some small wooden chair
"thank you"
"-fuuh- it is started to feel cold here"
"ah, it's almost winter here. Should I bring you a blanket"
"hmm, no need for that. I'll warm myself later. You don't feel this cold breeze Shanti?"
"we have some tolerance sir Yana, and our blood is really warm"
"I see... how's Barry?"
"his bleeding is totally stopped. Need few weeks to completely healed. Sadly, I don't have enough ability to attach his left arm..."
"what is matter that he's alive. Don't mind it"
"un..derstood" Shanti voice kinda was down
"savior, can we talk?" the elder approached him
"sure.. -fuuh- but before that..."
Yana stood up and talked to the villager.
"anyone's willing to help me? to bury those soldiers?"
Everyone who heard his words was surprised. Most of them responded like Yana's expectation. They wanted to kill them, they were enemies. Who's even bothered to think about their burial?.
"...I see. You have learned "hate", but still couldn't control it... It's okay then"
"can I borrow your shovel?" Yana turned to the elder
"sure.. but.."
"let me help you sir Yana" Shanti brought two shovels
"Good, let's started then" Yana walked towards the front's gate
Shanti followed him and the others couldn't respond to it. They still couldn't accept it. Barry came out from his house.
"I know war is really beyond our expectation... but I don't want to become "animals" like what he said... we honored the death, regardless their race or their motive..." Barry's voice broke the silence

He also brought a shovel at his right hand. He turned to them.
"from earth....to earth.. right?" he left
"-sigh- he saved us. He is our savior. I believed he had a reason to do that, and that's for better.. I know I don't have enough strength at this age, but I'll help them" the elder walked to the front's gate
"where we can burry them Shanti?" Yana asked her
"I think outside the village sir Yana.. the others won't accept them inside the village"
"yeah.. just to make sure"
Their arrived at the grass field. One hundred bodies with stab wound on their neck. Stench of blood started to fill the night breeze. One hundred souls...needed to rest.
Yana looked at them. He gave this sad and melancholy looks. Shanti was the same. This was the first time she saw this kind of scenery. She's already shocked when she saw her twenty comrades bodies, now she saw even more.
The thrill from life and death situation started to leave her mind. Her mind backed to her rational mind. This kind of war....those killings... horrible things came one after another into her sense.
"why we must....kill them..."
"that's war. Either you or them... unless, you showed a massive difference in power, or kill their chief right at the beginning of the war...."
"I'm sorry.. we're not strong enough to do that sir Yana"
"no worries... I'll say it as many as necessary... you're alive.. that's matter" Yana patted Shanti's head again
Shanti moved her ears a little. Yana's pat was giving her a tickle sensation.
"savior!! let us help you too!" Barry and the elder came from behind
"thank you"
"bwahaha, no need for that!" Barry laughed
"we will put them at 5x20 formation so it won't take too much space"
"understood" They replied
"ah, before that. Take their weapons, we will use it for their grave stone"
"...we won't use it instead savior?"
"nah, you won't need that. That won't be necessary"
Barry nodded and started to gather their weapons.
"-fuuh- better finish this fast" Yana rubbed his hands
The night breeze dance with moonlight as its partner when one hundred lifeless bodies were lying there, as if they were sleep with a peaceful feeling.

8 183Hacking Reality (A teenage Mad Scientist's story.)
Maya Williams was smart. For the first time however, she realized she might be a little too smart. At least if the fact that a gang had kidnapped her was any indication. But that didn’t matter, because she’d show them. She’d show them all!!! Just as soon as the voices in her head could agree on how to get out of this mess. --- Please Note: This is a version of a forum quest I run following a teenage Mad Scientest with heroic tendencies in the same city/setting as my other stories the Huntsman's Quest and Get Ink'd. Meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

Cover created by my good friend.
8 132Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
