Chapter 6: A Failure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ahh-"
Opening his eyes waking up in his bed, Vincent dreams of something he didn't want to remember.
The day, when he almost lost his family, and the day he died.
It was an unforgettable unfortunate thing that happened in his life.
Tak-
Tak-
Vincent was spaced out recalling his dream. A knock sounded as the door was getting knocked by someone he knew.
Vincent! Vincent! Are you already awake?"
"Yeah!"
Vincent responded absentmindedly recalling all the things he dreams of as he looks at the window.
The door of his room opened as Marie approached him and said.
"Is everything ok?"
Marie's face was etched with worry looking at Vincent's sluggish and unnatural face.
"I'm ok"
"Maybe you just tired out playing with the kids all day..."
"Yeah maybe"
Marie was worried at Vincent absentminded answers and said.
"I will tell the kids to not bother you too much."
"Wait," Vincent stops Marie as he grabs her hand and says with his usual smile.
"I'm fine now, I'm just thinking of something."
Marie was relieved, as she saw the usual smile of Vincent that she always saw, but got curious about what he was thinking.
"What are you thinking about?"
Vincent made a contemplating face to Marie as he got up the bed and said.
"I'm thinking of another story to tell..."
"You... worrying me for something like that... sigh~ anyway let's go down and eat."
"Yes! Yes! Ma'am"
Marie was further relieved as she heard the usual answer Vincent always game her.
They got out of the room as they walked down towards the Dining Hall where all the kids sat and together, they all ate their meals happily and satisfied with this simple and honest life they had.

Vincent looked around him and saw his new "family" and thought.
'No more moping around what's done is done let us just move on and pray for their safety.'
'I have a new family to protect and a new life to cherish.'
'New World To Experience...'
***
"Vincent! Kids! I'm off, and kids don't bother Vincent too much. He's a little off and tired this morning, because he didn't have a good story to tell you guys."
"Sigh~ why did you tell them. Marie"
"Hahaha! Will do Sister Marie"
"Yep! Yep!"
****
All 6 kids agreed as they played among themselves and only told if something they can't do or reach made Vincent sighed in exasperation.
"Hey! I'm okay don't ignore me..."
Vincent said that towards the playing kids.
***
It was almost lunchtime as Marie appeared that surprised Vincent and the kids.
"Marie! Did you get fired?"
"You! Idiot! I'm not something happen as the boss let all his workers have a day off"
"With this! You guys will not complain about Vincent crappy cooking"
"Yehey!"
"Yippee"
...
...
"Oy! My cooking is not that bad!"
Vincent said that as they all burst out laughing happy with this small conversation that nothing or had to laugh at and also laughing because they can all be together.
"Well anyway I'm off to cook and Vincent you buy some bread."
"Yes! Yes! Ma'am! Then... I'm off"
"Be careful!"
"Ok! I'll be careful"
...
...
To the Town Market...
Going to the usual town market, Vincent stops and looks towards a corner seeing a guy with a robe preaching some stuff.
He then walked closer as wanted to hear what the guy was talking about.
...
"Listen closely! The Walls were created with God's wisdom"
"The Walls are the work of God."

"Not one soul shall dare desecrate the walls!"
The robed guy was passionately saying this and waving his hand crazy about the god that created the walls.
***
He then bypassed the guy and went towards the usual Bread store purchasing 8 Soft Bread.
He didn't like the taste of this bread but living in this world for 10 years, Vincent adapted to its lifestyle
Walking towards his house Vincent heard the ringing sound of the bell.
He was curious about what's this commotion all about and walked towards the people who were watching something.
He then saw wings with 1 black and 1 white cross to each other...
The one that leads the parade is a blond hair guy looking down in guilt.
Vincent then proceeds to look at the back of them and saw many injured soldiers and after hearing the content of their conversation everything clicks in.
****
"Why are there so few of them?"
"A bunch of them were eaten"
"This is what you get for going outside the walls"
These groups of people called themselves the Survey Corps. The one that goes outside and slays Titans.?
***
"Moses! Moses!"
A middle-aged lady called loudly towards the Recon Corps looking around and searching for someone.
They stop as the Middle-Aged lady approaches them...
"My son... Moses... I can't find him"
The middle-aged lady then proceeds to grab the coat of one of the guys in front and ask.
"Where is my son?"
The two guys spoke to each other but the Content of it shocked the middle-aged lady that made her step back staring at the guy in front of her.
Then they give the middle-aged woman a wrapped piece of clothes that has some blood on it.
Then... the middle-aged woman unwraps it and the Content of it gives the lady quite a shock as she starts crying and drops the ground.
Well everyone will be shocked if only the arm of your son only you can see.
The middle-aged woman tightly hugs the arm as she cries and asks the guy in front of him.
"But... my son.... is useful, right?"
"He might not be a hero, but at least he died helping mankind fight, right?!"
And yelled the last part of it towards the guy in front of him.
"…."
Silence then the guy immediately said
"Of course..."
But stop and then continue...
"No..."
"During this mission, we... No, even after all of our missions."
The guy clenched his fist and said loudly.
"WE STILL HAVEN'T MADE ANY PROGRESS!"
"I'M A FAILURE!"
"I JUST GOTTEN SOLDIERS KILLED LEFT AND RIGHT!"
"AND WE HAVEN'T LEARNED ANYTHING USEFUL ABOUT THE TITANS!!!"
He yelled the last part of it, with tears streaking down on his face.

And yet, when Professor Adelyn Mackenzie investigates rumours of a talented prospective student in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she finds that he has managed to create the world's first living homunculus. "Magic is miracle given form." That is what Cadmus Guiles' sister always said. So, when she died, it was only natural for Cadmus to believe that he could bring her back to life through magic. Now, offered the resources he needs to pursue this path of research, Cadmus gladly accepts to go to the most distinguished school of magic on the continent: The Laurucian Academy of Magic. However, the Academy is a place of intense competition, and only those who rise to the top may recieve the services and resources that the Academy has to offer. Cadmus believes that he can easily defeat his peers due to him already having broken one of magic's most basic tenets, but it's time for him to learn that talent comes in many different forms...

Immortals, gods, devils. All of them have escaped the grasp of time and transcended the limits of mortality. Existences that can see a bug on a leaf thousands of miles away, beings who can create and destroy on a whim, entities of such awe-striking power that you can only tremble and await your demise. Reality is at their will. However, there is one thing that makes them cower in fear, a creation of utter darkness and endless malice: The Immortals' Poison. Said to be the soul of The First Dragon mixed with the remains of the dead Arch Pheonix, two items which shouldn't even be possible to gather. It is a sentient poison capable of killing anything it infects, giving the afflicted being, whether mortal or immortal, exactly 50 days to live. One day, the High God of Light, king of the gods, was afflicted with the poison. It caused the entire god realm to be panic-stricken. Searching for any cure to this legendary poison, they found one against all odds. For locked away deep in the forbidden archives, there was a sinister method of removing the infernal poison. The way they found was quite terrible. It was to find someone with a magnificent destiny and transplant the poison to this someone with a magnificent destiny, thereby going against fate, which is something the poison loves. However, he chose the wrong person to use, and now... The reckoning is coming. cover art isn't mine, all rights go to the artist etc.
8 124The World isn't as Ugly nor Beautiful as You Think
The original translation of Dunia ini Tidak Seburuk atau pun Seindah yang Kau Kira by Desope When I have a pen in my hand and paper before me, I think I want to write something to cast every despair in my pathetic life away. I have a figure of a depressed guy whose fate is too much: saving the world. He is not stupid nor even smart, he is not ugly nor even good looking. He is just a nijikon (A person who loves anime character or such more than real one) like me. He once thought to give up on life, but an event changes his life. I'm sure you guys start guessing how the story goes, but too bad, this one is different than the others.
