As he heard a car driving and suddenly stop beside him and the door open then revealed James e said "I've heard that you are going on the vacation?" he smirked. John laughed and replied in mock tone " Here I thought you have retired, I see that you've become a uber driver eh?". James smiled and said, " Cheeky [email protected]#&%∆£, right come on in". he looked back at the road then John entered the car and they continue on their destination. After one hour, they arrived at their destination he got out of the car and he stops as he heard his best friend says " Удачи брат(Good luck, brother). John smiled and said "Ты тоже, брат. оставаться в безопасности(You too, brother. Stay safe).

*Meanwhile*
As Robert was sitting at his table while drinking his beer on the glass, he heard the door open and saw his oldest brother stand before him. They looked at each other's eyes and Robert said " Frank, you're right on time". The man named Frank Zenith McCain Kennedy in short Frank Zenith the oldest brother of their family. He wore a blue polo with yellow stripes, a black jacket, black pants and shoes, white skin, dark faded hair, he wears blue eyeglasses and a gold watch on his left arm. As he saw his older brother facing him he asked " What is is Robert, how's the plan work?" Robert sighed and replied, " It is a success, however, we have a problem". As Frank heard the report he takes out his jacket and put them on the couch and asked "I see, it is a success. But, what is the problem? We already hid our identity clean as [email protected]#$ yet there is a problem?" Robert chuckled and said, "Have you heard our brother?". Frank froze as he heard the name of his 'little brother'. he asked again " What about him?" Robert got up and replied " What about him? He already knocked our doors brother, he knew already our 'identity' and our 'purpose' before I step in". Frank sighed as he massages his temples and said: " I guess we have to pay the price". Robert added " The worst". He sighed and asked, " Do you still remember the declaration of John's word?" As Frank froze again and he remembers John's words, he looked at his brother with guilt. "We already walked into a thin ice Frank, one wrong move or we're dead", as Frank bow his head down, shaking because of guilt that spread across his souls. Robert drinks again his glass of wine then sighed in frustration and sits on his chair.

*Meanwhile*
As John was riding on the airplane with his earphones on, watching the view of the world with chaos and destruction, however, it was beautiful. As the plane arrived in the Philippines, John saw many people talked to each other about the place they wanted to visit after that, they get off to the plane.
*a few minutes late*
As John arrived at the airport and he called on the taxi then he went in and he saw a driver and the driver asked: " Where to sir?" I replied " Bayview Park Hotel Manila". The driver nodded and drove off.
John's POV
As I was riding in the taxi towards the Bayview Park Manila Hotel and saw many people busying with their own lives, my old life on where I was traveling with my little sister finding shelter away from my so-called 'brothers'. I sighed as I recalled my memories about the past, I cannot help but wonder about how they do such a cruel act towards me and my little sister. I looked at the front and saw Vincent my brother whose waiting in me and thought that I am already here. Vincent ran towards the car and opened the door for me he smiled and said " John it's good to see ya, buddy". he and I shake our hands then we do a brotherly hug, after that. We laughed and I pay the taxi driver and the driver drove off, Vincent asked me "What brings you here brother?" I looked at him and said, "Maybe we should go to your house and talked about it". Vincent nodded and we go to his Ford Figo and left.
Hours passed as we reached my old house. As Vincent parked the car and we both get out of the car I looked at my old house in sadness, as we walking my old home. We entered the broken hallway and proceeded to my old favorite rooms since I was a child, Vincent looks at me in empathy because he knew the pain of losing something so close to you. I looked at him saying that " I know, brother". As we finished looking at the broken rooms we were standing the door on the floor that leads in the basement. I opened up the door and Vincent opened up the flashlight then I opened the flashlight as well. We walked down and saw a dusty room full of books in the bookshelves, a table with a lamp, we saw a sledgehammer that rested on the table. I pick it up and walked towards the front wall and tap it to make a mark on where I can slam it. As Vincent watches me wrecking the wall, he leaned on the table and starting to humming.
*Meanwhile*
Frank and Robert were drinking wine at the dining table with regret and fear as they drinking they're respective wines they saw each other's back that John was standing behind them in hatred and anger filled inside their youngest brother's eyes. As they can feel their souls were touched by a devil itself, while they were eating Robert and Vincent suddenly starting to sing

And I fly
Further away
Than I've ever been before
It's safe to say
This sky
Is lonely and grey
But every night I feel your gravity waves
And the world is cold
But it's beautiful
I wish you were here now
I miss your soul
But you lost your light
When the darkness called
But I stand here waiting
As Vincent was watching John breaking the wall using his sledgehammer in full force, as he was watching John's back and suddenly his vision turned into a white background with John standing before him and he saw John's families both biological and adoptive. They suddenly fall into the floor and their blood starting to spread, he saw a dark clouds that stand behind spreading around John as the dark hands reaching him that spreads across his body then dragged into the darkness, without a light, his soul cannot come back as he used to be and no hope come to rescue his eternal darkness.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
And I fly
Above the enslaved
My soul is burning
Like an earth reclaimed
And I try
A final crusade
This world is changing
But I'm still the same
Robert and Frank remember their past deeds, killing their parents and John's adoptive parents trying to save their wives in the hands of the demons and they were trying to protect John in the harm's way. They recalled the memories when the demons don't exist, the smiles, the laugh, the best and worst memories that happen in their life suddenly gone and they saw John in the blood that scattered throughout his body and he was holding a sword that was bathed in blood, they felt a huge spank or a big rock that crushed into their souls.
And will you be bold
Will you lose control?
I could never desert you
I could never let go
If you fall in line
And the zenith calls
I'm standing waiting
As Frank and Robert recalled their memories as their lovers were trapped by their 'enemy' that was lived in captivity on the other side of the world/De Stenen Wereld. And John remembers his past memories with his mentor training him to get stronger and yet, he was now so close to reaching the goal that he was longing for.
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
It's your magnetic hold
A gravity pull
I can feel you in waves
When your melody comes
It falls from above
I will not be afraid
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
The last to fall
When Robert and Vincent ended their song they closed their eyes and go back to their respective doings. As Vincent opened his eyes and saw John with a big crack wall before him as John dragged a big black case with debris, he blow the debris away and he opened the case. He saw a case full of books, papers, scrolls, and also their favorite gun. John's favorite pistol was PP9 w/ Suppression that Eron Arisato used before the 'Great War' started and after that, he created a copy to keep the original from him and the copy one gave it to John as a reminder of their friendship. On the other hand, Vincent's favorite pistol was a Berreta M9 and he saw an old scratch that he used in the 'Great War'. As they saw each other and nodded they packed up and John called a friend of his to get his private plane to go back home with Vincent.

Forged in Fear and Fury - An Apocalyptic LitRPG
In an attempt to prevent Earths ensuing demise, it is ripped from the void by an entity known as The Totality. It is then fused with a Lost Dungeon World to increase its inhabitants chances of survival in a new, system-enhanced universe. Cade Vale barely avoids death in the first second. Will he be able to overcome the rigors of this new world and survive? Will he be able to carve a new life out of the aether for himself and those whom he loves most? ...Will he be able to avoid becoming everything he hates in order to do so? Artwork by Kayla Basciano - Instagram: vulpix1323 Inspired primarily by the systems in The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, The Genesis System, and The New World as well as by Savage Divinity, Azarinth Healer, and Shovels in Spades in general. I haven't been able to get these worlds out of my head and I've been waiting for something to fill the void left by the hiatus of Genesis, but so far nothing has scratched that itch as much as ProfoundMagician was able to with the world he created. I figure if I'm going to be thinking about this stuff as much as I do I might as well get better at writing while playing with a number of those ideas that I love. I have a number of specifics and events I want to show in the story, but a lot of the fun is coming up with ways to branch those together cohesively. This is an attempt to alleviate my depression by channeling my creativity into a hobby. Hopefully it's as enjoyable to read as it is to write.

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
