《Rebirth in a corrupt world》A2 - Side Chapter 2 - When life gives you lemons...

Author: Thank you guys for reading.
Also to clarify, I won't add harem member’s as if the mc is using charm on people. I hate when stories have girls instantly love the mc. Belle has issues to work out, and barely knows the mc enough for such a thing.
MulDaya - Puerial’s family is still a bit away into the future. This chapter will bring a few things up though. (Thanks for always commenting. Everyone else too!)
-----------------------------------------------
Shiro’s POV
*Sigh*
It’s getting harder to talk to Kuro. He does so many strange and amazing things that makes me feel so much less capable. I want to always be by his side, to always smell his scent and fight with him. But...I don't know if I’m qualified to stay by him. The things he does is so hard to understand sometimes that I feel so lost.
Back in the dungeon, I couldn’t even move when Amy appeared. I was so afraid, but Kuro still managed to face her. If someone like her pops up again, will I be able to do anything?
Uhn *whimper* I don't want to lose him. Such a thing...I don't want to think about it.
Guh *depressed*, when he was talking to that girl Belle, he said something about a purpose. I want to be with Kuro...that's my purpose right? I mean I’ve learned many things from Kuro and got a lot stronger than before. But, more than once he asked me what I wanted to do. I always thought being with Kuro was enough...but he always said it's not, and to keep thinking.
Besides Kuro...what do I have? Puerial? Does he mean having friends? If I lose the friends I’ve made...what then?
*Gasp* No! Such a thing is scary...I don't want that, to be alone is scary. If I lose them than I lose everything right?
Right, so I have to get stronger. To keep my important people safe, to be with Kuro. I won't let my important people be taken away. I’ll be so strong that when I see Amy...like Kuro, I’ll stand my ground!

Kuro...I will get stronger!
...and enjoy more of your massages and smell too, they feel great and must be protected from bad people. I’ll try harder to not talk about it too. Un, a lot harder.
-----------------------------------------
Puerial’s POV
Aue, Kuro scolded me for saying private things again. I get it, but he didn’t have to threaten cutting me off from massages. Such a thing…yea, best not to think about it.
*Sigh* well I was wrong so I will reflect on my actions. I don't want Kuro to hate me after all.
...My life, is really different from before, isn’t it. I used to just spend my time at home training to inherit my houses responsibility. The only other place I could go to was my mother’s garden outside in the back. Only some girls my age from other influential villagers were able to play with me. It was fun back then...but, compared to what I’m doing now...was really boring.
Other than the lectures about my responsibilities and what spells to memorize, I would either spend time with my mom or play house with the other girls. The one time we played hero was when mother snuck us that hero book to read. Where did that book go though? Father found out about it and I never saw it again.
Brother would usually spend time with dad and talk about things I’m not aloud to hear. I asked mom about it, but she would always say to keep dreaming about fun things. I don't know why, but she would look sad sometimes afterwards. I’m happy though, those things she taught me about getting the person I like seem to be working on Kuro.
Compared to what I do with Kuro, my time back home was so simple. I feel like I’m in a real adventure now. But...what about when I find my home. I thought about this before, but I don't want him to just leave me there. The other’s won't let him stay because he’s not an elf. Everyone there said only elves can live in the village after all. So...what will I do when I find my home?

The things I learned from Kuro can't compare to what I was taught before too. It felt more like I was only told bad things about the outside too. Hmm? Wait...I don't think I ever heard anything good about leaving the village, how strange. I mean yea there a lots of bad people, but Kuro and the other’s are nice. Maybe if I ask Kuro, he will know why.
…
Ah, Kuro made that scary face again, but didn’t say anything. Why am I not afraid of that face though? If anything I feel happy when I see it. Oh! Maybe it’s because that was the face he made when he killed that fat noble that bought me before. Yea, bad people always get hurt when that face appears, but who are the bad people Kuro wants to hurt?
Well it doesn't matter, being with Kuro is fun. I really want him to meet my mom too, I bet she would love to meet him. I’m not sure about the other’s, but with my mom at least, we could share stories and stuff.
Tehe, that would be so much fun.
--------------------------------------------
Belle’s POV
Kuh, to have such a thing done to me, so embarrassing. Well it's over and those scars are really gone. He apologized about it too. In that regard, he is at least in no way comparable to that trash brother of mine. No, he is gone now so let’s just forget him. I still don't get how he would always know how to avoid danger. Up till now only this Kuro guy could get past his weird ability.
So...does this mean he has some weird ability too...besides his hands. Doesn't matter, I’ll just figure out what I’m gonna do from now on.
...Hmm, he said I lost my purpose right? After killing my brother, it did feel like I lost something important...rather, I just felt empty. I guess I’ll take up this guys offer for now. He talked about working in his stores and stuff. How such a kid manage to create a thriving business is beyond me. Though I did want to try the food at that restaurant. My brother though ruined that chance when we arrived in the city, such a loser.
But...a purpose...I remember having a dream before, I can't remember it though. It’s been so long since I’ve thought about things i want to do.
Well I’ve got time to figure this out. Right now I got to focus on the questions Kuro is asking me before I start. Something about checking employee backgrounds to ensure both their safety and the stores. When I asked how, it's supposedly to prevent fraud and stuff. I don't get how though.
Age - 14
Race - Fortian (Similar in appearance to humans but are characteristically more adept in physical activities. Most people are unable to distinguish between whether they are conversing with a human or fortian. This race usually inhabits areas VERY far to the south of the Kuro’s current location, which is for the most part more tropical based.)
Relatives - currently none
Various other things were asked as well, and were answered without issue. It’s not like he doesn’t know about my past anyway.
As we approached the city...this time I felt more calm. I guess, from here on out my life will be a whole lot different. My purpose, let’s see about finding one.
----------------------------------
A/N: Well then...any thoughts.
I hope this helps you understand the other characters better.
And yea, the lecher had a type of spider sense. But why wouldn’t it work on Kuro?
Not hard to figure out though. Also if you care to know the lecher was 15 already.

Under a Boundless Sky
If you were to ask someone what they thought of Revian Snow, they would say that she's small. Cute too. Doesn't talk much. Average grades, and hard to find in a crowd, though you'd think that someone with her looks would be more noticeable. She also plays the popular VRMMO's for some reason, but doesn't like to interact with others too much, even online. In short, she doesn't stand out too much. She likes it that way—After all, it's much easier to keep a secret when nobody's looking for one. If you enjoy my work, please consider supporting me on Patreon. It's a great help to me, and a very good motivation to do better, and more. I hope you continue to enjoy what I write!

Linus falls into another world, arriving on an archipelago. This is a story about exploration, and archaeology is a major theme! Studying history and pre-history is a favorite of mine, so this is a project using my research to build a world. One of the magic systems has rpg inspired elements, but this isn't a litrpg at its core. I'm an art student and haven't written much, but I like telling stories. This is largely just for fun, my own spin on the RR other world formula. (Placeholder cover is from the Palazzo Massimo in Rome)

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
