《Free Your Mind》Chapter Fifteen: Those Games You'd Play
Advertisement
Each passing day, I'd worry for you. Wondering are you okay, and if I could help you. But you'd string me along, I'd always attempt to reach for you. But you'd only play games, continually teasing me. You never gave it a shot, never taking me seriously.
And it always hurts, those tricks you'd play on me. Each worse than the first, left little scars all along me. Harming my will to help any of the others, because all you'd ever do is play me so hard. All those things you'd say, they were all just lies weren't they. You'd never say your truth, enjoying the play. Each lie you'd say pierced through me like a shining blade. Yet you'd still play the victim, always saying that you were my victim.
Continuing to trip me, yet you'd never know you're doing it. After all it's your nature, it's clear I need to mature. So maybe these games you'd play, were just your twisted way to say that I'm always too trusting, simply way too naive. However, I could see through your guise, that consistent act. Those deceptions and lies, that you truly care for me. It seemed I was only an annoyance to you, so shall I just leave with not another word.
Yet it always still hurts, these cruel tricks you play on me. Each always worse than the first, leaving deep cuts all along me. Harming my desire to assist anyone else, because you'd never stop your smoke and mirrors, never stopping your play. And all those things you'd say, they were all truly lies, weren't they. Each shot a hole deep in my heart, a shockwave of a bomb. And yet you'd remain, and you'd always claim of being the victim, why was it always you who was the victim?

But I'd forever hold on, never able to let go. In the guilt and fear, that you'd hurt yourself because of me. So, I still stay by your side always. Despite all the harm, your nature causes me. I'm still hanging on, in fear of the repercussions. Always worrying that if I ever dare to leave, you'd feel to blame for my stupidity. Hopefully one of these days, we can put a stop to all those games you'd play.

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

8 98Evo-Gaming
Evolution based StarCraft story with game-like elements. Everyone gets a good cheat-like system with well design UI and player-friendly system. I get this broken piece of shit Alpha version. Not to mention, that starting at the very bottom is not that fun. Oh well, let's hope things get better later. Warning - If you read this now, you will be essentially beta tester. The story will include biology, chemistry, but will not focus on it too hard. I aim to please both groups but inevitably will probably alienate both the people who dislike the subject and the ones who like it.
