《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》11: Changed Attitude
Advertisement
The whole of Class B1 was wearing a blue uniform making them the Blue team, the class were collecting all the stuff they personally liked using in the field while Caden just chose the most basic paintball gun there is and didn't choose any colouring labels because he didn't have any labels on him.
Caden placed on his mask and got ready to play the game he trained a whole two weeks for, he changed his stance into a running stance and patiently waited for the whistle to blow, once the whistle blew Caden chased out into the field alongside his class and started seeing the other side.
There weren't any strict rules for this version of Paintball, everyone could use their powers anytime they wanted but they need to take it easy on the other player they targetted at. Fireballs flew in various colours ranging from red to green, the balls that came out of the guns had some blue electric attached to them.
Students from both sides shouted hit until Autumn, Kaylee and Caden were the last remaining ones on the Blue team, the Red team had over 4-5 players which made the play a quiet one from how focused everyone was.
Caden started catching on to how to play the game with very different tactics just from reading the map's size with his own eyes. He ducked his head around the wall cover and used two of his fingers to rapidly shoot at anything that had a person behind, in the corner of Caden's eye Autumn was seen sliding towards his location.
"Right, there's three on the left side while the other two are on the right. I and you will ambush the two lonely players while Kaylee tries and shoot one of the three on the other side." Autumn directed straightforwardly.
"Why not rush?" Caden asked under his panting breath.

"I and Kaylee don't play that way, we play it tactically no matter if it isn't the right way," Autumn answered.
Listening to the orders, Caden and Kaylee shot at the opposite hiding locations to distract them while Autumn could run down the pitch will real genuine speed and not her inhuman speed power.
Caden followed on afterwards shooting whenever one of the players pop their heads up from cover. Autumn slid across the dirt patch, kicking up all the dirt from off the ground as she rapidly shoots at the two targets she intended to shoot at, but in the sliding action, she was shot in the meantime meaning she was out.
Kaylee looked at Caden and nodded like they were using telepathy to communicate with each other, knowing it was two against three, they both rush their sides and tried desperately not to get shot. Caden slid across the ground and aimed his stable gun at the three unexpected players and started firing quickly, but he felt the world slow down into an insane amount when a paintball directly flew towards his way.
The red paintball slowly flew in Caden's direction, Caden, without thinking, bent his back onto the ground to the point it nearly broke his collarbone and dodged the oncoming ball. Then when he dodged that ball, he had to dodge more balls in slow motion until the world forcibly sped up again without his consent.
This incident caused Caden to violently crash into the fence, which he ignored and claimed as an accident, he hopped up onto the ground to then be hit by another paintball.
"Hit!" Caden shouted, raising his hand to see Kaylee was also raising her hand into the sky.
Autumn stood still and speechless, her eyes targetted Caden's movement as she kept thinking about something she knew she saw, only people with speedster capabilities could see other speedsters lightning clearly in slow motion, and at that moment, she noticed white lighting zapping from underneath Caden's back, damaging the grass around him in the progress.

Both classes congratulated each other after the match with peaceful manners after hearing they both tied, they all appreciated each other's effort. Caden was applauded for his play after crashing into the fence, he smiled at them all and headed over to Autumn who glared back at him.
"Are you oka-" Caden was interrupted by a loud smack from Autumn, Kaylee pulled Autumn away from Caden in a confused manner as she asks why did what she did.
"You lied to me didn't you? you hid your powers away from me, didn't you?" Autumn asked in a calmed angered voice, Caden stood silent as he stared at the ground with dead eyes.
Before Caden could answer, everything went south when the ground shook after everyone in the circle went flying miles, Caden was also one of the victims that were sent flying towards the ground. People started screaming from the sights of people ripped in half from the strong contact of an unknown force.
"Oh shut your whinging!" A male voice yelled, it came from a teenager covered in white crackling lightning, "Don't be in the circle when I'm trying to take out a person that ruined my life then!" The boy added to his maniac voice.
"I, Declan Kayden, have personally come to kill Autumn Malay, The Ice Whore." Kayden declared, directing his eyes over to a charging Autumn running inhuman speeds with purple lighting trailing off her back. Kayden aimed his hand at Autumn and shot ice which descended onto Autumn's feet, trapping her. Kaylee tried using her electric to help but came to no value when she was knocked out in a blur.
"Autumn, it's been such a long time since aI saw you decline me. Sorry for interrupting your useless drama moment with your boyfriend over there. I'll kill him after you, don't worry~" Kayden insanely giggled near Autumn's shivering ear. His hair was dyed white and it reached his skinny shoulders, he stood roughly the same height as Caden and had red, alerting eyes that glowed from the positioning of the sun. His grin was so massive that his chin started ripping into the shape of a monstrous smile, as blood poured from his skin he kept looking at Autumn.
"You look so beautiful, darling-" Kayden's play came to an end when he heard the distant voice of Caden repeating himself at a fast rate.
"You're all the same, you're all the same, you're all the same, you're all the same " Caden continued to repeat before getting kicked across the face from an annoyed Kayden.
"Shhh~ You're interrupting my date with Autumn." Kayden grinned, after saying his words he raised his electrifying hand and swung it down on Caden's exposed head.
The hand that no normal human eye couldn't see froze into the world of grey and black, Caden calmly stood up from his spot and looked at Kayden's grinning expression. His eyes became even more dead, the colour in his eyes dimmed even more into the darker shade of what it once used to be, anything that represented life vanished into dead particles of emptiness, the characters in the eyes became dull and had no meaning behind them anymore.
A white light started appearing and it started to take over the entire eyes to the point white lightning escaped from inside his eye sockets and zapped its way to the bottom of Caden's earlobes.
"You're all the same."

8 130Glitch
I always dreamed of being one of the Awakened, one of the heroes that fights back the Insanity on his own terms. They’re always pictured driving the newest cars, wearing the latest clothes, using the best gene-mods and implants. They’re supposed to be more than just human. At least, that’s what I thought until I Awakened. Now my life is a mess of corporate intrigue, shifty politics, cyberzombies and at least one group of revolutionaries whose ideas are sounding better every day. I never wanted to be the punk that brought the system down, but the temptation to just glitch out is growing by the minute. Glitch is a Cyberpunk LitRPG set in a near future where some people are given abilities that allow them to do things that no normal human could ever do. This fiction is written, maintained and owned by Edgar Malboeuf. Copyright 2018

8 107After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
