he manage to get out of his mouth, he was breathing uneven and fast for normal not even knowing if it was could be count as breathing.
He raised his self from the flour that he slide down from the force of the hit on the door his face had turned to a sickle green, his hand were trembling, taking again a seat on the flour putting his back on the door to feel if that thing has left, that monster had probably left but nothing come he’s fear was kind subsided but that didn’t mend that he wasn’t afraid like shit. The bug made him terrified out of his mind he maybe wasn’t the best at biology but he took enough test and with the need of study he learned enough to be best that most and from what he learned bugs like that should not exist, it was terrifying, he hated bugs yes a major part of it was his fear of them it wasn’t that major to be called a phobia and maybe a part was his discus of them but he could deal with them.
[What now. Calm down the bug probably, left it hasn’t hit the door for some time] he thought.
been calmed downed he look around and to his horror realize that the windows were open the shutters were down but the windows were open so the wind pass through realizing that the windows may no help on stopping it but safety is more important running to close the two in the kitchen and the one in his room. While heading in his grandparents rooms he remembered that his grandfather didn’t put the shutters down on the night thinking [I must wake them up, something is wrong and close the shutters so the bug don’t get in]

Opening his grandpa’s room he was struck with fear the screen was reaped up and the bug was in the house. he immediately went to close the door but he stopped for a second [what will happen to grandpa] but that moment of hesitation was what the bug needed to scurry to the door while slipping on the tiled floor, realizing what happened Nikos started closing the door but he couldn’t close the door fast enough seeing the head of the bug protruding of the corner on the door but Nikos didn’t looked scared opposite he was smiling pulling the door with all his might and a vicious smile, alas the bug remained unhurt the only thing that has change is that has change is that looked more annoyed and his pincers started moving faster seeing that the smiled drained from his face and become panicked. Cold sweat started covering the hot sweat that accumulated from running around he said while pulling the door but still nothing.
Seeing nothing changing he change his position to get a better grip by moving his feet closer to the pincers, getting a little extra strength but again nothing changed at the same time in the new position his foot slipped closer and closer to the pincer until snap at that moment his right calf was cut a deep and nasty looking wound was created from the pincher.
Pain passed through his body he had never felt pain in such decree he had never felt in his entire life, strength left his body the door opened little. Realizing what happening he grip on the nob of the door become harder, putting all he had, time felt like it slowed, his body moved on his own putting everything he had and a little more that he didn’t know he had he pulled close the wooden door with such force that the door corners cracked.

The bug was still alive, but for the first time its head cracked and started bleeding a green ooze the pincers that grabbed his bloody foot weaken the bugs movements slowed and the stopped the door firmly pushing on his head of fear it was still alive staying like this for some time until the adrenalin levels decrease and the pain in his leg began again he opened the door and started it smashing on the head with door until it closed.
Getting on the side of the wall to support himself his breathing was uneven that was cut from sobbing, starting walking with one leg to the storage so to put no force on it. Reaching the storage he reaches for the first aid kit getting down on the floor with bandages disinfectants and medical tape, looking on the wound he realize that were deep they were two deep cuts on each side of the calf bleeding badly and a bit of flesh was falling out. Don’t knowing what to do he through disinfectants, closed the wounds with medical tape and covered them with bandages while doing that he started yelling but nobody answered the only sound that could be heard were the crickets of summer and Nikos sobbing that was not coming from pain.

8 238The Game of Petty Gods
They woke up in nothingness and knew two things: They knew who they were. They knew why they were there. The world before this one was hazy and meaningless but their identities, if not its details, were still in-tact. They were there to play the God's Game. What that meant was different for each of them but all had the same goal: to Win.
8 145The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated! Thanks for reading!
8 154The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
