《DECEPTION》Epilogue

Epilogue
Within the deep darkness, there was a light, a small spot of light lies to the very end. With the inability to see my arms and legs, I began to move or rather try to move my muscles towards the light. After a few seconds, the spot of light grew slightly bigger, proving that I am moving. ‘This isn’t what I think it is......right?’ As I continued to “walk” towards the spot of light, the darkness suddenly disappeared; a light had flashed and covered the darkness leaving nothing but an unusually bright light. The light had me blinded, but it slowly dimmed, revealing a clear night blue sky. On the ground, I picked myself up; I must’ve fallen when the lighting changed so suddenly. ‘Hm?’ As my eyes rise back to the default position, I saw several blurry black figures in a distance, but one; I recognized her. ‘E-Elsa?!’ Confused, I began to walk in the direction towards her and the figures.
‘Those figures, they’re......’ As I walked, my mind continues to speak and the figures continue to disappear one by one. When finally I reached her, the last black figure vanished. At about a distance of two meter away from her, her image becomes crystal clear. With her back facing me, I approached her in a slow but rapid pace.
“Elsa? . . . Is that you? . . . Elsa? . . . “ I asked with concern.
She didn’t reply. However, when I was about to place my hand on her right shoulder, she turns her head and looks at me......right at my eyes.
Gasps. “. . . R-Robert?” (Elsa)
“Is, is that really you?” I asked with doubt.
With less than thirty centimeters of distance between us, our eyes froze on each other. Her right hand slowly rises from her side and it soon reaches my left cheek. I held on to her wrist with my right hand and I placed my left hand onto hers. This moment of reunion, it felt priceless; the two of us standing there, giving each other silent thoughts...but the moment had short lived...

As we embraced this moment, her eyes began to change in color...from a bright grayish blue to a shining red. Rushing out of her eyes were red shining tears as if there was blood within it. Seeing the red tears, my eyes were struck and my hands reached for her cheeks to wipe them off. With curiosity, I quickly took a look at my hand, but the tears I had just wiped left no stain. When I turned my eyes back to Elsa, I saw a horrified expression with her mouth covered by both of her hands. She was looking at my chest. Confused, I placed my hand on my chest; it was moist along with a rusty odor. Without any doubt, it was blood. It must’ve been the wound I had earlier... But something wasn’t right, when I looked at my hand again for the blood on my chest, the stain had disappeared. ‘What is going on?’ Moving away from my hand, I looked up. Elsa, she was gone. And in this dark place, it was quieter than just a moment earlier. Where am I?
“Elsa! Elsa!” I yelled towards the empty snow plain as it echoed throughout.

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
