《The Innocent Soldier - Linstead》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Once we got home last night, Jay went straight to bed. Avoiding the subject of what happened last night. Now this morning, even on days off he usually wakes up around 8:30am. It's now 9:43am and he's still not up. I'm letting him rest but I haven't seen him in 4 months so I'd like to do something with him. I'm calling Voight.
*ring*
V- "Hey Erin."
E- "Hank, Jay got home yesterday evening."
V- "Really?"
E- "Yeah but last night, he ran from the fireworks. Hiding from them basically. And now he won't get out of bed. I haven't seen him in 4 months and he's barely talking to me!"
V- "Calm down Erin. He's probably seen some things. Come by the district later and I'll talk to him."
E- "Thanks Hank."
*beep beep beep*
That's the 10am alarm. I don't want to get up. After what happened last night, I don't want to face the issue. I know you're not suppose to run from your problems but I really want to right now.
"Jay, it's 10 o'clock. Can you get up now? Please?" I heard Erin say as then I felt a dip in the bed and a hand on my shoulder. I turn onto my back and look at her.
"I know you're thinking about what happened last night. I'm not holding it against you."
"What about my job Erin? If I can't handle fireworks, how am I gonna handle a gun?"
"We'll figure it out. We're gonna run by the district later in the day to discuss that with Hank."
"Does he know what happened?"
She nods. I nod back. I'm not very excited to talk to Voight about this but right now, my main focus is food and a nice hot shower.

Birth of Mana
Residents of the world today only know of the sky as a sheet of pure darkness. Alz is an elf who was separated from his parents at birth due to the village’s tradition. One day, Alz stumbles upon a relic from the past, learning about the world which once existed, where lights illuminated the skies. Inspired by this, the young Alz decided to go on an adventure, an adventure to explore the vast world he lived in. Discover the world with Alz as he sets off on an adventure, experiencing many new encounters, and overcoming obstacles along the way as he slowly delved deeper into the truths behind the world. --- IMPORTANT NOTE: This story is not fantasy-themed and not I didn't omit the fantasy tag by mistake. That said, there is meaning and significance to the title, except that it will be unveiled only much later into the story. Magical elements and the like will not be a factor in most of the story until the very end. tl;dr: This is not fantasy, magic doesn't play a role in the story. --- Updates: Will try to post a chapter once every 2 days PS. This is my first novel so there might be several issues in various aspects which I might not notice so comments are highly appreciated. --- This is more to add pressure to myself rather than anything else... but anyways the story is now part of the pledge!

Re:Arifureta

In this land of fantasy and adventure, could they have been summoned to their own personal heaven, or somewhere else?No, this is not your standard Re:monster rip off, this is my first attempt to rewrite a story better than the original auther. To me the original Arifureta started off with a great idea that it completely failed to live up to in terms of story story with it's chuunibyou power fantasy main character, pedophilic undertones, unlikable side characters, and woe is me everyone hates me mindset. This is me trying to fix that

The Blood Queen
The rain fell from the sky with ferocity and smashed into the pavement filling the air with the sound of a stampede. The noise was deafening as I struggled to stand up. The blood from my wound was covering the ground beneath me and I covered it with my hand as I pushed off the pavement. On my feet now I struggled to step towards the grass. Through the howling wind and pounding raindrops I could hear what sounded like a chant, calling me and drawing me towards the cliffs edge. "Vienna, my Queen, my blood Queen" I started to move my feet faster until I could run towards the edge. Only when I was at the edge did I turn and look back one last time at the castle behind me. I could see him standing on the balcony, he was screaming my name. I could just hear it over the rain. I unclipped my red cape and whispered goodbye to him. As he jumped off the balcony to run towards me I leaned backwards and let my body fall with the rushing water to the river far down below. I carried her whispers with me to the dark edge until they vanished.
