《The Ghost》Chapter 9. The Great black bug
Advertisement
All the people turned their heads even Marcus, and they saw a scene straight from a nightmare. Not far from them was a human-made of bugs! It has no facial feature and just by standing there, it made their hearts jump in fear.
Marcus was the only exception because he remembers something, a large bee? a large bug? this bug is familiar...
Above the humanoid bugs were words that captured their attention.
[ 106th Boss: Great Black Bug ]
[ hp: 5000 ]
. . .
Brandon and Leo's mouth widened when they saw this, it's a boss! and that hp is ridicoulus! Marcus also saw this but his reaction is the opposite of them, his eyes lit up, "It's a boss! and if I kill it there will be many xp!"
Marcus moves to the second floor, he was going to kill this bug. Brandon and Leo looked at each other and they both saw the fear in their eyes, Selena and Kate as well the two boys were quiet. They didn't know what to do, they are weak compared to that humanoid bug.
"Let's run."
Leo said and Brandon nodded his head, the enemy is too strong I am afraid even if they teamed up and fight that boss then death will be the result for them. Selena stared at the humanoid bugs, the black bugs that were buzzing were familiar but when she heard her brother, she immediately shouted.
"No! We must stay here this house will protect us."
Kate who was beside her slowly nodded her head, yes if she said this house can protect us then it will protect us.
"Sister, you just need to follow me!"
Leo shouted and his voice had a tint of anger, Selena was stunned for the first time and she stared at her brother's eye. Brandon saw the two staring at each other and slowly shakes his head, he stared at the boss and said, "We can't run because that boss will surely chase us. We will stay in this house for a while."

Selena moves her eyes towards Brandon and smiled, Leo was cursing inside! this Brandon still have ill intentions at this time!
It was just a few seconds before they started to talk when the humanoid bugs made its move.
It raised its black hands and there was a loud buzzing sound around them, some bugs crawled from the ground and some from trees, and others from the corners of Deep Sky Village.
In a few seconds, these bugs gathered and formed a large black hand, it was bigger than the house! Its shadow covered the house and the hearts of people inside.
Then as if time slowed down, the humanoid bugs who raised its hand made a smacking gesture towards the house!
The large black hand slowly moves towards the house and the air was tense!
. . .
Second Floor.
Marcus was standing with his hands behind his back, he stared at the approaching large hand made out of bugs. "You attack in my house, then I will also attack." He raised his hand and a blue circle appeared, this time Marcus decided to try something.
One cyan snake came out of the blue circle, followed by another one, and so on. The number reached ten in an instant!
These cyan snakes would make an ordinary man freeze in fear, the size was one meter long and the eyes were blue. All ten cyan snakes charged forward at the window and headed straight to the large hand.
After this ten cyan snake was about to reach the large hand, another batch of cyan snakes came and this time it was twelve.
Marcus didn't feel tired, it was like blinking his eyes he could do it for a long period of time!
"This is awesome, let this ghost see how that ugly hand can block my army of cyan snake!"

Marcus wants to laugh but he held back, his eyes were focused on the ten cyan snake that reached the large hand.
There was no boom or bang sound, it was silent yet deadly. The large hand that was approaching the house slowed down and at the center of this hand was ice.
The bugs were frozen to death and it was expanding to the other bugs causing the large hand to stop in mid-air.
The twelve cyan snake rushed and hits the center of the large hand causing the large hand to freeze until the whole hand was covered in ice!
The atmosphere became cold in an instant, and the people inside the house felt their minds go blank.
Brandon's eyes were twitching, is it true this house protected us!?
Leo's eyes were wide, the scary monster made its move! It's even scarier than I thought...
Selena's eyes were twinkling with little stars, the house protected us! As I said this house can protect us!
. . .
While the people in the house had different thoughts, the humanoid bugs let out a screech! It looked at its hands that were covered in ice. It raised its head into the house and opened its mouth.
Buzz!
A large number of black bugs got out of the mouth of the humanoid figure, its numbers are one hundred and it was still increasing, the humanoid bugs slowly changed and all the bugs gathered and formed into a large face made out of bugs!
The people inside the house felt their hearts skip a beat, this boss is really strong!
Marcus stared at the large face that was capable of inducing fear, if he was alive then he would be scared to the point he would run away, now that he was dead and he became a ghost he didn't feel fear.
"You survived, good then take my elite hundred cyan snake!"
Marcus raised his hands and this time he would surely kill this bug, there are people in my house and if they got killed I would become boring again!
A blue circle appeared and like a machine gun it kept spewing cyan snakes, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty until it reached one hundred cyan snakes.
The one hundred cyan snakes hovered in mid-air and it was a shocking sight! Unfornutaly no one could see this, and Marcus also knew this.
His attacks are invisible to others, but isn't that overpowered! They wouldn't even know how they died!
The large face opened its mouth and it was so big that it could swallow the house, the one hundred cyan snake charged forward and headed inside the mouth.
The large face stopped and it trembled in fear. It didn't know who attacked, the people inside the house were weak so who was it?
The ice was crazy as it expands until it covered the large face, but before the large face was covered in ice, it saw something terrifying!
It was hell, corpses formed into tall mountains and there was a sea of blood. The thick aura of death almost covered the place, and in the middle, there was a strange house...
The large face was finally covered in ice and it fell to the ground and break into thousand pieces.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
