《I'M ALIVE!》Chapter XVIII - SOFIA
Advertisement
I’m at college sitting alone on the stair-step like I used to do. Strange, I always came here to smoke and did not remember this place to be so jolly. My eyes hurt with this fucking blue sky. It looks like the day I met Sofia. Sofia? She is walking by me now, just like the day we met. This is just a lucid dream, but I want to cry and wake up, and I fucking can’t. I will play this game for now.
“Sofia!?”
“Huh? Have we met before? You look very sad!”
That big heart of hers. Always concerned with strangers. Fuck! She knows we met before; we attended the same boring Philosophy class.
“I’m sad, but I can’t cry. You shouldn’t worry so much with strangers, girl!”
“I’m doing my part; this word is full of sadness. Why don’t you come with me and grab a spoon at the homeless shelter? I have no classes today and you are for sure skipping one. It’s a win-win situation. What do you say about it?”
That smile, the selflessness. Her deep blue eyes staring at me. This is the ultimate form of torture.
“Why worry so much about some strangers? It might kill you someday! This city is rotten to the core!”
“I think if we stop doing our part, the suffering of the world will only get bigger. If I die, I know I did my best.”
No! She is smiling, she is very naïve. She can’t! She can’t be so naïve! What difference it will make anyway? It’s too late now.
“What about the people that care for you? You don’t care about them if you die?”
She smiles again. It hurts to see her again. I longed for her smile, but this is only a dream. It is not real.

“If I die, I hope they move on with their lives. We will all be going to die someday, and I don’t regret the choices I made. It will be sad, but I hope someday they smile again! What are you doin—
Slap!
I hugged her and kissed her. I can cry now. She slapped me, I missed her. I will always miss… How can I move on? She doesn’t know the weight of her words.
“I’m sorry I slapped you. Are you hurt? You are crying!”
“Yes, and it was amazing!”
“You shouldn’t be kissing girls out of the blue. This is harassment. It wasn’t good for me.”
“Why are you smiling, if the kiss wasn’t good?”
She had a huge crush on me, and I knew it from our mutual friend, but she wasn’t good enough for Sofia. If your friend fucks the guy that you have a crush on, it’s a bad friend.
“Your name is Christian, isn’t it? We attend the same class of Philosophy, don’t we?”
“Yes, and you’re the prettiest girl of this college!”
She is blushing and running her hand through her hair like she used to do when I complimented her.
“You are a pretty boy too; however, you should learn to have manners, Christian! Let’s go to the shelter or you’ll be here harassing other girls.”
“Are you jealous, Sofia?”
“What if I am?”
“Then, we have no other option but marriage!”
“You’re crazy! Be a helpful crazy person and come with me!”
She is grabbing me by my hand and taking me along with her. I miss her touch. What? The scene changed! I’m standing in that dark alley she was murdered. Her lifeless body in a corpse bag, her blood everywhere, this annoying rain. That scene again, that rage again, that sadness again. Fuck! FUUUUUK!

“Fuuuuuck!”
“ You’re awake!”
The book is looking at me with that creepy eye and that fucking smile.
“Take me to Grimminir, now!”
“I can take you to the place where we were before, only Abaddon can telepo—
“Shut the fuck up! I don’t give a crap let’s get out of here right now!”
Rage. I can only feel rage now. I want to punch this world until it explodes! We were back at the beach and it was morning. I grab the fucking book and stare it in the fucking eye.
“Leviathan is like a nuclear weapon, isn’t it? I can feel it somehow! ANSWER ME!”
“Let me go! Yes, he has the energy of 87 points out of 100!”
“Leviathan serpentem tenebris nigrum draco flammis. Coniuro vos in terram anathemate!”
A black dragon the size of a small building is before me. It was a shit show of black flames to summon this bastard. The entire beach is on dark flames. Nice!
“What is your wish?”
“Destroy the entire east coast, Leviathan! Spare no one!”
“It will be fun! So it shall be done!”
“Hehehe! Are you crazy? We will be caught in the blast, you idiot!”
“I don’t give a damn! Flee if you want, you floating piece of used toilet paper!”
Leviathan ascended to the skies and is shining with dark energy as loads of dark flames surround him. He takes a deep breath and then fires a gigantic black blast that exploded everything. The huge explosion is deafening and the ground shakes like a fucking earthquake. In the distance, I could see a black mushroom cloud. Nice!
Here comes the explosion! The book is shielding me from the powerful shockwave with the hellish flames. The east coast is gone! You rotten bastards! Burn like the fucking garbage you are!
“Hahahahahaaa!”
It was over. Hundreds of thousands burned to death! I was crying and laughing on my knees. Suddenly, in my mind, I see the face of Sofia. The joy of before was starting to turn into deep regret. My hands are shaking.
“What ha-have… What…What have I done!?”
A blinding light shines. And I see five angels getting closer. What!? It can’t be! One of them is… Sofia!?

8 452Phantasmic Light
The world is corrupt.Nobles and royalty step on the common people. The common people have no choice but to join the military or live a life of poverty. The military is brainwashed to only obey orders, even if it's to conquer and pillage innocents. When living a life of poverty, you're treated as livestock, killed after deemed useless. When a boy summons the power damned by the gods, will he destroy the entire world like they say? Or will he end the current regime and bring about a new era of peace? AN: This is the first time I'm writing a story like this. If you don't mind my poor grammar, weird name choices, and sloppy mistakes feel free to stick around (and correct me please.) Constructive critism is welcome! However please do not just bash my story as I do put a lot of effort into it. I want to make an enjoyable story for myself as well as all of you. Ps: It's time to come back and rewrite the entire thing, since it kind of went off the rails and then I abandonded it a couple years ago. Thanks to my friend for drawing the cover art for me.
8 184Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.
8 85The Watchmen - A Horror Novella
The paper Kate found while rummaging through her old college work looked like some silly poetry. Just out of college, she landed a dream job in the game industry, and moved to a new city. She couldn't believe her luck! But there's something very odd about the piece of literature. There's numbers that keep changing daily, almost like a countdown.
