《Forgotten Era, Book One: A Bloody Tale》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Adam woke up with a horrifying sound of an explosion that shook the building with it.
Lilith and he jumped out of the bed, she got to the window to see what was going on and Adam wore his clothes and quickly grabbed his sword the last reminder of his parents.
"it's happening" Lilith said as she turned around looking at Adam with wide-open eyes and chalk pale skin as if she saw the death itself outside from the windows.
"they are here" her voice was shaken.
"let's go, just get in your clothes and do not let go of my hand when we got out of this room ok" Adam said and she nodded vigorously.
The next explosion was closer than the first which made everyone to lose their calm and move around like headless chickens trying to grab what they treasure and run for their lives.
The next explosion destroyed the Riches hall east wall and shattered all the windows' glasses. Adam saw a man with his face covered in blood and broken glasses screaming for help moving around like a blind man but no one gave a damn about him.
As they got down the stairs they saw the chandelier on the maid roof that could shine like diamonds and brighten the whole place in the darkest nights, fall off on a woman who was running around, she was buried in the chandelier broken crystals, her hand was still out of it but it was lifeless.
Adam tightly grabbing Lilith's hand and the sword trying to get out of the building through the destroyed wall.
The next three explosions hit the hall directly and turned their world upside down. The screams and cries muted and Adam's ears started ringing. He remembered for a second he was in the middle of the air then everything moved around so quickly around him and hitting the ground at the end. dirt covering his body with pain waving in his body from head to toe. his sword still in his hand but Lilith, he couldn't feel her hand in his hand. He lost her he wasn't strong enough to hold her.

Adam coughed dirt and blood and with all the power he had left, forced himself to get up and look around for Lilith.
Dust and dirt greyed his whole body and he felt everything was spinning around him.
"Lilith, Lilith" he yelled but wasn't sure how strongly he had yelled with his ears still ringing so he shouted her name again and again.
"Lilith… Lilith"
For a brief moment he looked at the city outside of the hall, Vina was burning and turning into a pile of rubbles and ashes. The black flags with white sharp teeth on them danced around every corner of the city. Gorgans were here.
Adam saw the last chance of a civilized life fragment burn before his eyes and he could do nothing but to watch.
he wanted to give up and stay until the next shell hit him and turn him into chunks of meat. Deep inside he believed that explosions had defiantly killed Lilith 'but what if he was wrong? what if she had managed to flee the city? what if she was looking for him outside of the walls have he really tried to find her then?'
these thoughts made him put himself together and run for it and he ran like a rabbit chased by hunting hounds.

"come on FASTER we are losing them" Gorgans' warbands were hunting and capturing the remaining people who were running out of Vina.
"try not to kill the poor fucks alright, we need slaves too" Koy the High raider of the raiders ordered others while he was driving his off-road vehicle.
Koy and his raiders captured almost everyone even in the middle of the night. His raiders could find the people as if they could smell their fear in the air "one of them is still running, what do you say, Koy, can we have some fun with this one" one of the raiders suggested Koy with excitement and a wide-open devilish smile.

"ok boys, tonight you captured enough slaves so I reward you with this one. do what you want with him just don't kill the poor fuck quickly who knows when you get another practice target again" Koy said and his raiders showed their appreciation with sheering and shouting his name then started their bikes to hunt the last man who was running away. the raiders were like a pack of hungry wolves.
"poor guy became tonight's sacrificing lamb for my wolves" Koy said as he was preparing to return to Vina or what was left of it and deliver the slaves.
After an hour of beating and shooting and dragging the poor man on the road, the raiders got tired of him and left the man's half-dead body on the road to become a feast for ravens "who the fuck carries a sword now? The stupid guy thought he could beat us with his sword" one of the raiders said and laughed as they were leaving Adam, he didn't run fast enough and so he had to pay the price by dying for the fun of Gorgans' raiders.
At dawn in the cold, a girl in simple rags found Adam's body still holding his sword in his hands tightly covered in blood and dust and bullets in his body but still alive and breathing. the girl with all of her strength carried Adam to the Papertower a tower built by all the books in the world a true wonder of the aftermath and a mystery for those who didn't know about it.
it was miles away from Vina and the girl was there to find out if there were any books left in that city instead she bumped into a burned city and a beaten body, but alife was a life and she had to save him as long as he could breath.
Adam never succeeded to find Lilith and didn't want to accept it. As he was getting carried between life and death he wished for his death hundreds of times yet his heart kept beating. He had seen enough of war and pain and was tired of it all as he closed his eyes he remembered the smell of perfume on Lilith's hair, her shining green eyes, and her smile he wanted to go back to her arms and make the time to stop so he can be with her forever and ever.
'fuck my life' he thought and kept breathing raggedly.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
8 387Shadow Overseer
He never had a name. People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way. "Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain. His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself. After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy. ********** This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting. I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.

Pressing the "Yes" Button, a sudden white light flashed on the screen of the TV, forcing him to close his eyes.

As the support character of the game ?The Invasion Of The Demon King?, Theo Regnard was destined to die at the beginning of the game. Refusing this kind of fate happening to him, he resolved himself to become stronger and walk into an unknown road instead of choosing the supposed "Good Ending". This is the story of a man who was cursed by the demon god, a story of a fallen prince who has chosen the path filled with blood and revenge, a story of a support character who became the main character, a story of the man called Theo Regnard. Author Note This is a slow-paced story and the first book that I'm writing. I hope that those who are interested in that book can find the enjoyment they were looking for.
