《Al-Mos... Qui-t-o Live A Second Life》Chapter 17: Erasure
Advertisement
"What?! What.. what are you saying?" I.. I tried to muster my courage to speak as I look at Astin. I might just hallucinate things or heard things, because.. it can't be true
If.. if he's really my.. brother.. no.. no way!!! My siblings can't experience what I experienced here! No... They.. they can't feel that! They should be living a good life! They can't die there! They.. they need to survive. And also.. if.. he's really one of my siblings, then he.. he should die first! No! My siblings can't die! They need to live together, and have a better life! Even if I didn't get that chance, but... they should have a better life. They deserve it... they shouldn't be deprived of it.
"Brother... I'm.. I'm.. Jant. Brother.." The most hateful thing I don't want to hear the most has unexpectedly forced to enter my ears. Tears flow non-stop as strong emotions surge within my body.
My breathing has been affected may be due to shock, as I breathe heavily. Dizziness starts to hit my head, making my balance unstable.
'Warning: White Warning: The host has been emotionally unstable. Anomalies have been found and analyzed that strong emotions will kill the host. As the host was just put in an artificial body, the host can't feel strong emotions, as the system would be altered.'
A kind warning was ignored by me, as I look at Astin.
"No way!!! You can't be Jant, okay?!!! You're lying!"
"Bro.. brother.. I'm.." Astin let go of his embrace and look at me, scared to say anything.
"Don't call me brother!!! You're not Jant! You're not Jant! You can't die!"
"I'm.. I'm sorry.. brother.. I'm sorry.."
"You!!! Stop it already! Don't try to fool me!! My siblings can't die! They can't suffer what I had suffered!"

"I'm Jant.. Brother.." Seeing how his brother worries about him and his other siblings, Astin was touched and a strong desire to pay for his brother's efforts start to sprout in his heart.
"How many times do I have to tell you??!! You're not Jant!! How could you be Jant?! Jant is still studying at Earth!"
"I'm.. sorry.. Brother. I.. I died with Sister Gail." Another bombshell bomb my entity, as my emotions surge furthermore. Hearing that name, I can't seem to finally withstand the impact of what I just heard.
'Warning: Warning: A shared warning: The Chosen Host, Grey Dy, has been analyzed to be emotionally unstable. The host Grey Dy would die if emotions can't be stopped. Will the two hosts agree to erase Grey's memories within this day?'
A serious voice echoed in my head, as well in Shine's and Jant's head... but as I felt hard to breathe, as if my air passage has been clogged, while my body struck with impossible pain... my brain can't function as I didn't understand what the system said. All I felt at this moment is my dying life.
'What?! System.. what.. what are you talking about?!' Shine's voice echoed in my head but it was vague.
'What?! No.. My.. My brother can't die!'
'who?! Who are you?! How can you speak in my mind? Are you with Grey right now? What did you do to him?'
'Sister Gail.. is.. is it you?'
'How.. who are you? No.. you can't be Jant?'
'yes.. brother.. brother will die. Sister.. Gail.. it's my fault.'
'Jant.. what are you saying? Where are you now? Are you with your brother?'
'Yes. My.. my brother knows I am Jant, and can't accept it. He.. he's been emotionally unstable.'

'what? How did Grey find out about you?'
'it's.. it's because I said it to him.. sister Gail.. is.. is it my fault? No.. brother can't die.'
'Remaining time: 10.. 9... 8...'
'What?! No.. He can't die.. Jant, let's agree with the system.'
'Okay.. sister Gail.'
'Agreement has been received. Memory cancellation is in progress now.'
As Shine and my brother agreed with the process.. my consciousness was like being robbed from my body, as someone seem to bite at it. It left me unconscious as I fell on Astin's hand lifelessly.
Astin held my body with the utmost care, as if I were the most fragile thing, as fear filled his shaking body, as if afraid of breaking me. He look at me with strong emotions just like what I have, and sat on the ground, waiting for me to wake up patiently.
He looks like a child who's being fooled by someone to wait for him, not really moving an inch, with expectant and hope in his glistening black eyes.
"Brother.. please.. don't die! I.. I'm sorry. It's.. my fault. If.. if not for me-- you.. you-- woul--dn't die. Brother.. please wake up. You.. you can forget that I'm.. your brother.. and forget how I missed you.. but please.. don't die. I.. I can't accept it if you die."
"Brother..." Astin continue to throw the burden in his heart when a sudden voice startled him.
"Ja..Jant?" Shine looks at the human, Astin, with shock in her eight eyes, and looks at the familiar figure in his hand.
"Jant? You.. you're the one who tried to hunt us?!" Shine can't believe what she had just witnessed right now, but the tears on Astin's face slapped her strongly, making her know that it was indeed true.
"Sister.. Gail.. Brother..."
"You're really Jant?!"
"Yes.. sister Gail. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry if I hurt you.. it's all my fault."
"No.. Jant. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault, so don't blame yourself. Grey would be just fine. The system said he would live."
"But.. sister Gail.. I.. I can't be ass.."
"Jant! Listen, okay?! It's fine! Grey would live?! Got it?!"
"Ye..yes." Astin was forced to agree, as he also pick up Shine before placing her in his lap, where I lay lifelessly. Strong emotion build up in her heart as well, as she gently touch the body of the man she loved.

Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)

Modded Skyr*m: Real Life Edition
It seems that I died while I was playing VR Skyr*m. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the middle-aged man who called himself The Overlord of Dremora and Dragons. He told me they were releasing Skyr*m: Real-Life Edition. However, you have to be dead first to play it, and I was chosen as a 'beta tester' of sorts. I found myself in a semi-realistic (thanks to mods) world, and I want to have fun and relax for the rest of my life, and maybe get back to Earth. There's just a small *RAWR* problem. Setting: This happens within the world in The Legend of the Fake Hero, specifically two arcs from now. About: I am writing this for fun as a side project. I intend this to be semi-interactive as I will have polls where readers can influence the book's direction. I have the final say because I believe that too many cooks in the kitchen are not a good thing. The plan is to write it in parts that are around 1-2k words. Typically around every 3 to 6 parts, they will be combined into a finalized chapter and re-edited for a smoother read. Release schedule: When I feel like it. I'll be more inclined to write if there is more interaction, both in comments and polls, towards the story. However, I will be focusing on The Legend of the Fake Hero because that is something I own entirely and enjoy. I will try to do consistent uploads. Disclaimer: This work falls under fair use as it is a partial parity, does not affect the value of the original work, is an original story within the setting (within my setting), and is not being sold. All IP belongs to their respective owners (including myself). Currently uploading on Scribble Hub and Royal Road under the same username.
