《Al-Mos... Qui-t-o Live A Second Life》Chapter 21: Haroes
Advertisement
'Ding! Ding! An anomaly has been found in one of the chosen hosts, Grey Dy. The host, Grey Dy, has been devoid of emotions. The system was unable to help the host, Grey Dy, and might remain emotionless for the rest of his life.'
A cold voice echoed in the head of Shine and Astin, as Shine was still fighting some snake, while Astin watch her do so, making both of them stunned.
'what?! Grey.. Grey has.. has gone numb?!'
'System.. what.. what are you saying?!'
'As the system said... The chosen host, Grey Dy, is now emotionless, devoid of feelings. The system can't help the host as the host himself was the only one who can cure himself.'
'System... what.. what have you done?! Why.. why did you make Grey become like that?!'
Shine felt as if something wants to destroy her faith, as she let the snake bites her. Pain seeped inside Shine's body, but she can't feel anything at the moment as sadness remains in her heart. She can't help but get sad for me, as she knew how did I suffer and what I experienced both in this world and in my previous world. Sympathy emerges in her eyes as regrets mix in.
'I.. I shouldn't say that to Grey. If.. If.. I just didn't act angry towards him.. then.. he.. he wouldn't be like this. He.. he wouldn't get punished and be numb. It's.. it's all my fault.' Tears dropped from Shine's orange eyes subconsciously.
"What?! How.. how did brother become like that?! System.. you're.. you're lying?! My brother can't be like that?! My.. my.. brother is strong! When we're still in our world.. my.. my brother didn't.. give up. He.. he fed us despite doing crimes... Risk his life just to survive.. so.. so how could he become like that?! You're lying System!!"
'Ding! Ding! Ding! As it might have been the system's fault for how the chosen host, Grey Dy, become emotionless, the two hosts will be exempted from the punishment. The system is an existence above any life form, so the two hosts should treat the system respectfully. One more disrespect will send the two hosts towards the Ocean of Despair.'
"Hahaha!! I.. I know now. I know now why Grey become like that! It's really because of you, System! It's all your fault!" Shine.. who didn't like what the system said, said rashly.

"Sister Gail.. don't.. don't be like that. You.. you can't end up going on that ocean as well.. Sister Gail.."
'As the chosen host, Grail Hart has blamed the system for the other's host fault, the chosen host Grail Hart will be sent to the Ocean of Despair to receive the chosen host' punishment for 20 days.'
A cold voice resounded inside Shine's head, making her a bit restless. She.. she doesn't want to get punished.. and she also knows that it's not the system's fault or anything because in fact.. the system gave them this second life.. so they should be grateful.. but.. she.. she wants to see me.. she want to try possible ways to make me free from numbness.
The violet sky suddenly become pitch-black as a bolt of black lightning instantly fell, striking Shine. As the lightning faded, Shine also fade leaving Astin alone.
"No!!!"
"I... i can't let you.. Brother.. sister.. go! Let.. let me go as well.."
'System.. can.. can you please also.. sent me towards them?'
'The hist is unable to go towards the Ocean of Despair. Unless the host violates the rules.. the system will send the host to the Ocean of Despair for punishment.'
"It's because you're such a useless.. f*cking system! You.. you reborn us but why with that state?! It's all your fault! You're giving us this useless life!"
'As the chosen host, Jant Dy insulted and curse the system, the chosen host, Jant Dy will be sent to the Ocean of Despair to receive the chosen host' punishment for 10 days.'
The violet sky once again become pitch-black as a bolt of black lightning fell in a blink of an eye, disappearing with Astin.
At the same time...
Behind the big bushes, a lone man can be found sneaking toward a human and spider talking to each other.
This human was none other than the one who went to the forest with Astin, Haroes. Haroes, who was supposed to be unconscious was unexpectedly watching the two, Astin and Shine talking and acting as if something big happened without any surprise as if he had already expected something like this
As Haroes continues watching, two bolts of black lightning fell almost at the same time striking the same place.
"What?! What are those two thinking?! Why.. why would they let themselves go towards that place?! Aren't they afraid?!" Haroes eyes want to pop from their sockets, as his mouth were opened.

He didn't expect the two to be actually brave enough to go towards that punishment hall on their own accord, since Haroes knew that the two didn't want or have no reason to insult or disrespect the system.
"System.. system.. can you tell me what's wrong with those two? Why are they acting like that? And also... Where's the other one?"
"The former host is unable to acquire any information. And also.. the former host should not have the ability to talk to the system." A cold voice yet terrified resounded in Haroes mind.
"Hahaha.. really?! Why? If I plan to destroy this world.. do you dare bet that I can't destroy it?" Haroes smirk as if ridiculing the system.
"Former host, are you threatening the system?!"
"Oh.. does it sounds like that to you?!"
"If the former host tried to do that... The system will unreasonably kill the former host's two sons."
A bomb was presented to Haroes, and his eyes doubled while his face was dumbstruck.
"Wh.. what?! What did you say?!"
"The former host should not act cocky toward the system. The system is after all, way above all life forms in a world."
"You! What.. what did you just say right now?! Say it!"
Haroes, who thinks he might mishear or hallucinate things, kept asking the system desperately. Strong black gases start to leak out from his body, as the black gases were like a miasma, drying the trees they touch in an instant. The ground gave in as a tremendous aura surged. All nearby life forms run for their dear life, as a warning was sensed by the native in the world, Artificial.
"Former Host! Don't.. don't dare try to use the power you stole from the demon system!" A cold voice with a hint of panic resounded as if afraid of Haroes destroying his world.
"Then tell me! What.. what did you just say?!"
"The.. the former host's two sons were reborn in this world. As the luckiest former host was the mother of the two hosts, the two hosts naturally acquire your luck and do become the chosen host when the former host went astray along with her husband and friend."
"Damn you, system! It's.. it's all because of you!!! You kill me in my world with my husband, that left my child with no support! And now you kill my two sons?! I'll never forgive you!!!"
Haroes, who was my and Jant's mother was filled with rage, that comes from being robbed of being a mother. The aura keeps increasing as the earth quakes, making the natives near the forest be alarmed.
Haroes.. who wants to be a mother to her 7 children along with her husband was actually killed due to misfortune set by the system. And the worst thing is.. she.. she died with her husband.. that gives up in the end and went to the underworld along with her best friend.
Leaving her own child alone.. no mother can't do that, especially knowing that her child was still a kid and has no one to rely on. She keeps thinking of caring for them... making them feel how to be loved by a mother... How a child would normally live, make them eat her cooking, lullaby them to fell asleep.. to send them to school and so on.. but.. but all that dream was destroyed by the system.
The system who thinks that it was so kind as to give us the second life... which is because to repent the killings it made, makes Haroes blood boil in anger.
When her husband gives up on leveling up and becoming a human, Haroes was actually sent into despair.. which then she coincidentally met the demon who fed on despair, Behemoth. She risks her soul in order to steal Behemoth's power and successfully fooled the demon who went on a rampage and destroy half of hell.
Gaining the strength of the demon, Haroes then oath that she will get revenge on the system but she.. she didn't expect that.. the system actually took two of her sons..
No mother would want to hear that, knowing their child die just because of that useless reason!
"Damn you!!! I'll destroy this world!"
"Don't dare, Former Host. The system will have no choice but to take your other five children if you destroy the world!"
"Damn... Damn you!!!!" Haroes.. who really want to throw a fit, suppress the anger brewing inside her, as a mother can't let her child die. That's how a mother's love for their child, the child they held for nine months inside their belly, the child they are willing to suffer hardship and pain, yet the system would mercilessly use it to threaten her?

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Bright Feather
I'd like to say something like this is a unique story, blah-blah, but it's not. The story itself is your typical fantasy story with magic, fightings, plot armors, good friends, beautiful ladies and whatever there always is in such stories. I pretty much enjoy typical stories. So I've decided to write one myself. The only thing is the story isn't going to be centered about the Main Character. So let's leave all of the above to him, we'll meet him eventually anyway. This is the story of MC's counterpart. While our greatest Main Character conquers the world, cultivates, and whatever else, what does his destined other half do? Sit and stoically wait for him to come out of the closed door cultivation? Really now... Just thought it might be interesting to write such a story. Let's see if I manage. I'm new to this so, dear readers, please, don't be harsh on me. But if you have some words for me, so I can improve, don't keep them to yourselves, all help is deeply appreciated.And I officially promise to be very slow and inconsistent with releases (myriads reasons for this.) But I'll still do my best to finish the story someday. WARNINGS! (I thought a lot, and in the end, I'm putting it here. Better safe than sorry.) First of all, you can probably easily guess, but English is not my native language. And everything that comes with it. I don't think that it excuses me though, so I will improve with time, but warning you nevertheless. Second: No harem, no BL, no Romance And the last but not least: Beware of psychological pressure on characters and characters' deaths. Not much, in my opinion, but still, if you're overly sensitive to violence or mind games, better drop before starting. In any case, you've been warned. With all the above said, welcome, and enjoy.
