《Green Life》Chapter 3 - The invitation
Advertisement
How long has it been since I've been here? 1 minute? 1 hour? 1 day? 1 year?
I don't know anymore...
Everything around me is nothing else but an endless black space. It's just like a new whole world made for me and no one else. I don't have to worry about going to school or making decisions for my life. No one can bother me, it's really comfortable and quiet!
I like it here-------and I wouldn't mind sleeping here for an eternity.
But still, there is this uneasy feeling that's been keeping me awake...
It won't let me rest a bit!
My whole soul is screaming for it! It must be something important that I have forgotten. It's like a piece of me is missing, something dear to me or... someone...
*beep* *beep* *beep*
What's that noise? It's so annoying!!
[.....How is he, doctor?]
[ Don't worry your son is out of danger and he is going to wake up any time now! He was injured badly with a knife stab on his back and injury in his hand! I and the medical staff managed to heal his injuries however he needs a lot of nutrients to replace all of the blood he has lost! ]
[ I'm so glad, Thank you so much doctor for saving him! ]
Ugh, where am I? I recognize my mother's voice. She sounds worried, did something happen? Who is she talking to anyway?
[ No no, the operation would have failed if your son hadn't received blood from you. However, the damage on his left eye was greater than we thought ]
[ What do you mean? ]
[ He might not be able to see from his left eye anymore... ]
What are they talking about?
[ Ugh.. ] Hatsuko

I notice some pressure on my left eye like something was warped around it
I opened my eyes and noticed an unfamiliar ceiling
[ Where am I? ] ( Hatsuko )
I slowly tried to get up.
[ Aagh! ] ( Hatsuko )
My back hurts.
As I tried to move I heard my mother say.
[ Hatsuko try not to move too much! Your body is still weak right now! ]
I heard the sweet voice of my worried mother. I could tell that her voice was shaking a little bit.
[ Oh right, How long have I been asleep? I was being chased by some weird guy in black clothes and I fainted... ] ( Hatsuko )
[ You've been asleep for 3 days but for now try to rest a bit! ]
I was looking around me a bit confused for some reason.
I still remember how I was being chased.
Well, at least he didn't kill me...
That guy was so strong, he could've killed me easily, so why did he tell me he was some rival to Raiden and wanted revenge on him somehow?
No... Maybe he wanted to warn Raiden using me. That must be it!
--------------------
Some time had passed since I woke up. In the room I was staying in, a police officer came in.
He must be here to investigate the cause of my injuries.
Or that's what I thought.
I tried to explain everything about how suddenly, some guy attacked me for no reason. I also said that I have no friends or connections to anyone who has grudges against me. Having said that, made me feel kind of lonely. Of course, I didn't mention the encounter with Raiden. It's not because I made a promise to not tell anyone but because I was scared and didn't want to get involved any further than this! I mean I was targeted for a stupid reason.

In the end, the police officer said that I might have been mistaken for someone else when I was attacked. Well, that was the only reasonable conclusion after everything I said to him.
But still, the police officer said he was going to look further into this.
The police officer had already left.
I decided to sleep.

ugh so noisy
[ Did you get his blood sample? ]
[ Yes it's all here, just a little is enough right? ]
[ Yes! ]
What are they talking about? My blood sample? Why would they need my blood?
Are they making a check up on me?
[ Alright let's get out of here before he wakes up ]

It's been 2 weeks since I got out of the hospital. I was really shocked when the doctor told me that I won't be able to see from my left eye anymore. I also had a wound on my back which I don't remember how I got it.
Thankfully I don't have any scars on my face. It's gonna take me a long time to get used without my left eye. How am I going to play video games with only one eye? I don't have a full vision as I had before so I hope it won't be difficult playing them.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
I opened my laptop and the first thing I noticed was an email received on my personal account.
An email? I never get emails from my personal account. I never gave it to anyone in the first place!
I opened the email.

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 106An Otherworldly Tale: The Apocalypse/A School Saga
The origin story of The god and The Demon. While technically the third installment I've written, and first that I've ever shared, it is chronologically the first saga. An apocalypse, the school saga. "Do you like limes? I do. Quite a lot. They are the sweetest dessert I can think of. And I love my desserts. As it always has been." Evan said, upon being asked his favorite thing in the world. "The best lime comes from a world destroyed. An apocolyptic world. That is the only place you can find sweet limes. Or, at least, limes as sweet as the one I love so very much." Evan said, upon being asked where to find sweet limes.
8 78Remnants
The world is shadowed in the remnants of its past splendor. Creator's splendor. When the One True God fought Envier to stop him from destroying humanity, many of the glorious temples and towers that Creator had helped build were destroyed. After subduing him, she secluded herself away in heartbreak and the ruins were left; tragic monuments of grandeur humanity can never recreate. Kiol is the Society's best soldier. He killed the Cult of Envy's leader and eradicated her nest. He does what he's told without question and his targets always fall—without exception. Until he chases down Nirin in the middle of a raid, the boy whose life he spared once already and finds himself inexplicably saving again. He feels a connection to Nirin unlike anything he's felt before, even knowing the boy is a cultist and a rebel. But bringing Nirin into his life engenders a complex web of emotions, secrets, and lies that changes Kiol's life forever and forces him to question everything he's ever been told.
