《Free》Chapter 17: The Legendary.. What?! Part II
Advertisement
I kept on running, past the forest, past the animals. I could slowly feel my stamina draining away. It began to get brighter and brighter as I kept running.
Leaves were fallen down from the trees, there was no snow yet it was just as cold.
I kept running until I reached a hill. I looked down.
A very small village, with only three or four houses.
There seemed to be no one there.
I slowly walked down from the hill and walked towards the village.
While in the village I tried to find anyone there, again, no one was there.
I only saw a black cat, it was sitting by a house.
It was relatively small, yellow sharp eyes.
It was in a shadow, you could barely see the cats outline by the body.
I didn't approach it, I left it there.
"Heeeey! Sudo where are youu?-nyan" I heard.
"Come on out-nyan" the same voice said.
Where did the voice come from?
I kept looking around, I didn't see anyone.
"Ohh, stop hiding Sudo-nyan.." the voice said.
I heard a jump, I looked towards the sound.
It came from the direction where the cat sat.
I saw some figure behind it, the figure was..
..Patting it?
"I was worried about you-nyan" it said.
I slowly drew out my sword.
"Huh, do you know this person-nyan?" the figure said.
It stood up and jumped up.
I drew out my sword and held the blade in front of my face.
The figure showed itself while attacking with its sword.
I already blocked him, he quickly jumped back.
His sword was very different from mine, he was also different.
He had blonde long hair, blue eyes.
His sword, it was much bigger.
"You look like a skilled swordsman-nyan" he said.

"Who are you?" I asked.
"Oh, now you're asking questions, huh-nyan"he said.
On top of his head, it was like cat ears.
Yellow, fluffy cat ears, but he had normal ears too, who is this guy.
Suddenly the wind became powerful.
The piece of paper from my pocket flew out, I tried to quickly catch it but failed, it landed on him.
I had my fighting stance ready.
"So, what's this-nyan" he said.
He slowly opened up the paper.
His eyes were big and round, his mouth was also formed kind of like a cat.
"Creata hero, huh-nyan" he said.
"So you're out to find me-nyan?" he said.
I, let my guard down.
"You're the legendary hero?" I asked.
He smiled, like a cat.
"Yes-nyan" he said.
I was quiet.
"Then why are you acting so weird" I asked.
He looked at me with.. Disappointment?
He looked down on the ground and slowly curled himself into a ball.
"Why are you so mean-nyan" he said while whining.
I looked at him with.. Confusion?
"What do you even want-nyan" he said still remaining in his form.
I took a deep breath.
"I want two things" I said.
"Go ahead-nyan *sniff*" he said.
"What is your name" I said.
He slowly looked up.
The wind made his hair cover up his eyes.
He slowly rose up.
"My name..-nyan" he said.
"It's Tommy, but people call me the legendary hero of creata..-nyan" he answered
"And my second desire.." I said.
"Will you be my companion on my adventure, and become a mentor" I said.
There was no question, I said it as something that will happen.
But he won't say yes, why would he.
"YES-nyan!" he said.
He looked really happy.
He sprinted towards me and shook my hands.
"I would love going on an adventure with you-nyan!" he said.
I was confused, again.
"But your adventure will end here furishishi!" someone shouted.
I looked behind, there was no one there.
My sword was out so I had my fighting stance ready.
"TAKE THIS YOU BASTARD" the voice said.
Suddenly someone jumped towards me.
I had my guards up, I'll kill him!

The Joker, The Trickster, and the Magician
Wolfram Sakimoto, an infamous criminal, was about to be executed in a secret military facility only to survive by a sudden earthquake that struck the whole world and turned it upside down. With the appearance of strange and absurdly powerful monsters, humans started their final struggle to survive this tragic calamity. Wolfram, however, found joy and not despair in this drastic change. A lunatic on the loose, without any morals to uphold, only his thirst to battle the strongest. PS: This story has a relation with RE;Hell Gate and Once Human, Now a Parasite. The Protagonist is eccentric, to say the least, so don't expect any heroic dude. He can be a madman and a hypocrite, if that is not to your taste, then this isn't a story for you.
8 175Two And A Half Deadmen
Silver-Spruce is a very strange and very haunted town. Ghosts inhabit its buildings and walk its streets. Some of them friendly and sane. Some of them not so much. Alder helps ghosts. Helps them fulfill their last requests so they can move on to whatever comes next. Sometimes the ghosts aren't so friendly and have to be moved on by force. Alder does that as well. And he's gotten rather good at it too. After a particularly rough exorcism, he finds himself following a strange ghost to a local tourist attraction. And while Alder never means to find himself caught up in chaos, monsters, magic, and mayhem always seem to have a way of finding him. You want more specifics for what you're reading? Here you go: This is Urban-fantasy but a little bit of a different spin. Often the protagonists in such stories tend to be the bigger fish in their world, or at least far from small fry. Be they legendary boogie men or badass wizards (which is in no way a bad thing, I love a lot of those stories.) But I thought it would be fun to have a protagonist who's far closer to the bottom end of the scale. He has some magic, and it's potent in its own way. But he isn't the big dog or a fighting machine. Outside of his bubble of influence, our protagonist is essentially a normal human as far as powers are concerned. And while you should be warned that this story will get dark in some places it's (hopefully) balanced out by humor and the lighter stuff. I'm not sure how to end this synopsis section so I'll just say bye. Bye!
8 109Rise of the Keeper
A regular boring day is turned upside down by powers beyond Joshua Hale's perception. He's found himself in the possession of a strange crystal and now monsters are being thrown at him. He will have to figure out this strange new world of stats and skills quickly if he wants to adapt to survive. On the way he will make some interesting friends and might just rise to become someone that can take on these challenges forced upon him. This fiction is a fun pet project I've always wanted to try.(I'll try to mark the explicit chapters.) A massive shout out and thanks to my pal Silberfrost for making the amazing cover art! Chapter updates should be on Sundays at 9pm AST
