" How would i forget this place? "
" This place is where i quit playing before the reset, and the place where i usually go when I'm bored, or grinding the boss area. "
Shinzu was in the world [ Blooming Hill (Lvl Cap: 45) ] the place Isn't that beautiful anymore, where the flowers and orchids bloom together. The place was a total mess, and the beauty isn't there anymore.
" Everything has change. The world, the system, and my goal. "
" My goal here is to destroy the system, and find my sister. "
" And of course, without getting strong, you cannot wish to destroy the system itself. "
A message suddenly showed up in front of me, as i roam around.

" I thought an easy tutorial would come up first, since my account have been reset. "
" A level 1 fighting a higher level?. Im still unarmed, the system right now is so damn harsh."
" Sheesh "
" So, I only got 2 hours finishing this stupid Quest.

While roaming around and talking to myself, a shadow portal from the ground suddenly showed up far away from me, where the shadows from the ground they rise. They keep coming out from there, and i just stood there watching those ferocious monsters rising from the ground endlessly, and they are about hundreds of them or so. I didnt just go out there, and started fighting all of them like a madlad. I tried to go back to the other way and found a [ Blooming mushrooms ] near to a river.
" Beneath this river is full of [ Poisonous Coral Thorns ] and about 20 meters deep. "
You can usually find a [ Blooming mushroom ] near here.
" And before the update, this mushrooms were classified as [ Rare ] item, and you will rarely find it here. "
" Back when I'm still around level 40, i tried eating one of this mushroom and heals you for about 400+ health minimum. I guess this is the reason why its hard to find these mushrooms... "

" Fuck, if I had my old account i can use the skill [ Vision ] and find hundred of this shit without an effort. "
I saw a [ Undead goblin lvl 47 ] it was alone near in the river, and he have [ 1100/1100 ] health. The goblin have a dagger, and his size was not that big, the goblin was just on my stomach level. And the first thing that came to my mind was.
" Since this Undead goblin is all alone, and no signs of other enemy near to him. "
" I can take care of this one "
I suddenly attract the attention of the goblin by throwing a rock, and the Undead goblin notice me, and tried running at my direction. I was 1 meter away from the lake, and waited for the Undead goblin to come in a short distance. I then dodge its swing, and quickly goes behind to his back and grab its neck with my right hand and my left hand to his left hand, while pushing the goblin under the water with me. While we are falling under the water, the Undead goblin tried moving and struggling his left hand, and I said to my mind.
" FALL DOWN!!! FASTER!!!!! AND DIE!!!!! "
The Undead goblin was struggling so hard but i had to keep my grip on, so that the undead goblin couldn't swing its dagger. Once we reached the ground level, a [ Poisonous Coral Thorns ] stabbed through the Undead Goblins body. I tried pushing it further to the Thorns, so that it will die, and I saw the Health of the undead goblin suddenly reducing, while it was impale to the thorns.
[ Undead goblin lvl 47: 1100/1080 [ -20 Poisoned, Paralyze ]
I tried to hold my breath for about 4 minutes, and after that, the undead goblin perish.
I returned to the surface level immediately, and started coughing the water while laying down with a serious eyes.
" I will destroy the system, just you fucking wait. "

I took a rest for about 10min, and not for long, i equipped all of the item that I obtained from the Undead goblin, and said to my mind
" Its time to Grind them all "
" Before that, I need to check my personal status, and upgrade my skill points. "

" Now you might say, why I put all my points to the strength, Its obvious, were using a melee weapon to fight, and to increase my physical body capable of punching stronger."
" Let's not waste the time for now, and Grind the shit out of them. "
I roam around as i clearly observe my surrounding, and a group of [ Undead goblins ] was circling around to the campfire. Luckily, i was at a far distance observing them, and i saw a giant cage beside those undead goblins, and there were 2 women and 3 men trap in the cage. I saw the other man raping the woman, by thrusting her back and forth all over again, the other people inside the cage were scared and shivering. I had to come up with a plan to save them, and not so long, their boss showed up, he was huge compare to his comrades , his size was about 6-7 Undead goblins combined, and his name tag above him is [ Unknown ] as I was focused staring, and analyzing the situation. An arrow suddenly hit to my right shoulder, and it was painful, and I can't also move my body. The first arrow was a shock, not until they fired the second arrow to my left shoulder, the pain was doubled, and all I can think to my mind while lying down.
" Aghhh, Shit!!!.. Where did th-at came from?!, that wasn't a fucking normal arrow!!!, Arghh!! how can it hit thro-ugh a armor!!!. "
before they come and take my things, i unequipped my armor and dagger, and quickly put it back to my inventory.
" System Inventory open "
1.) Leather armor [ Info ]
2.) Iron dagger [ Info ]
3.) Leather boots [ Info ]
( 3 ) items were found
And a group of Undead goblins surrounds me as i was on the ground resisting the pain, and one of the Undead goblins suddenly talk.
" How did you know, this garbage human is here my brother?.
" The boss had sense a human presence, and the boss tried to talk to me in my mind saying. "
" FIND THAT HUMAN PRESENCE!!!!. "
" Then what should we do to this garbage human, my brothers?.
Should we kill him, and eat him?. "
" The boss need one more human to complete the ritual sacrife my brother. "
The other goblin suddenly smirk
" And after that we SHALL FEAST, AND ENJOY THEM!!!!, MY BROTHERS!!!. "
The undead goblins suddenly carried me as they throw me to the cage. My body was still on the shock, and cannot move. The only thing that I can do for now is to observe. No one tried to help me, and that's the reality. And all i can hear was a moaning sound from a girl near to me, and at that moment, i slowly fainted.
One hour has past by, and i slowly regain my consciousness, as I slowly open my eyes, and slowly stand up. And only i, and a young girl, who was sitting to the corner was left, She was staring at me, while hugging herself naked, at a sitting position. I then notice, that I'm shirtless and both of the arrow got remove to my shoulder and was wrap with a clothes, I then ask the girl.
" Are you the one who help me?. "
The girl just nod as i stare at her body, i then notice outside, that, the other humans that were in this cage were burning in a crucifixion way. I couldn't think of a way to get out because a [ High undead goblin ( lvl 75) ] were guarding the cage. And they were 18 of them, and about a hundred [Undead goblins lvl 47] were dancing around the burning crucify humans. Only men were crucified, and the women are being raped continuously by the undead goblins. And a moment later, a [ High undead goblin ] showed up to the cage, and he was about a human size, and a strong body, he was about to take the young girl hair and drag her outside with his one hand, I then hold the high undead goblin hand and said to him.
" What will you fucking do to her?. "
I said that with a serious eyes and face, but the high undead goblin smiled at me in a scary way.
" Fuck off Human. "
I tried stoping his hand, but I couldnt even pull his hand, I tried doing it with my two hands, and its still has no use. And the young girl was crying while being drag outside, my veins are showing as I tried pulling the high undead goblin. The high undead goblin stop, and punch my gut with his left arm, and i got pushed back even further, it was painful, and i started to vomit a blood. The undead goblin then said to me while i was laying down and enduring the pain.
" YOUR PISSING ME OFF GARBAGE HUMAN, KNOW YOUR FUCKING PLACE!!!!. "
After a few minutes, i was crucified, while burning and watching the young girl getting raped. All I can think was.
" Is this how i die?. I couldn't even save a life, I was so reckless going here. My goal is to destroy the system, but it just ended here?. "
[ System alert ]
[ Health: 90/220 ] -2 [ Burning ]
[ Mana: 120/120 ]
" If there is one more chance, i will not forgive all of this bastards right here, and kill all of them. "
" And continue my goal, for now, this is the only hope i got. "
My eyes are slowly fading as i was burning, i then slowly said.
" System message open. "

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021.

Astrum Online.
After decades of war and a series of bad decisions from politicians worldwide, the governments of the world decided to establish a truly independent economic and political institutions to right their wrongs. Despite this, the damages incurred persisted decades after its resolution. Among the worst of the damages were the aftermath of a conflict in space which left the orbit of earth filled with dangerous space debris, effectively shutting mankind out of its final frontier. The lack of access to space prompted many to explore alternative means to space in virtual technologies and games. However, space simulation requires heavy computing power and difficulties in advancing computer science had always limited the potential of space exploration in virtual reality. Leaving it an undesirable genre in the VR community. That is until a not-so-surprise announcement by a company called Future Tech that changed the world. This is a story about a group of friends' adventure in a brand new Sci-Fi VRMMORPG that utilises cutting-aged AI to power its expansive world. A piece of technology that many tried for decades but failed to achieve. Join Prakash "Gulliver" Douma and his group of friends as they meet new people along their journey across virtual space, make new friends and enemies, and discover many hidden secrets and danger about the world of Astrum while struggling in their foray into adulthood. _______________________________ This is my first story and is a side project I had in my mind to help me cope with the pandemic lockdown. So I welcome any constructive criticism and please cut me some slack! heh~ I have problems managing my tenses so do let me know in the comments if you find some errors. Enjoy! P.S. - Please ignore my user id. I do think my uses of punctuations are honestly quite horrible. Oh the irony.

Pranking The Bad Boy
"What the hell?! Kennedy!" I watch as Ryder turns around furiously and strides towards me. Oh oh. Maybe I took it too far... "What's wrong with you?! Did you really have to cover my car in pink sticky notes?!" He steps towards me and I take a step back. He steps forward again and I step back until I'm up against the wall. "Well if you would have left me alone when I told you to, I wouldn't have had to do it," I fire back. He chuckles. "You don't know what you just got yourself into." "What do you mea--" I get cut off by his lips on mine. I freeze. What was happening? And why did it feel so good? Ryder grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair. He bites down on my bottom lip softly. As I was about to part my lips, he pulls away. "Better watch your back," he says. He smirks at me and then turns around to leave. What just happened? ____________________ Kennedy is not like most girls. Instead of getting her nails done and gossiping, she would rather ride her motorcycle or dive jump. She didn't have any friends back at her old school, but will that change when she attends a new one? She meets the bad boy of the school, Ryder. One harmless prank of pouring some pudding over his head starts a whole other war. They prank each other and start to realise that they might have feelings for the other person and the other person might have feelings for them. Will they use that knowledge to their advantage? __________________ Highest rank: #8- teen fiction 12/29/16 Thank you to MySecretDiary for the amazing cover!!
