《The horseman, death》Chapter 1
Advertisement
After the blinding light recedes we opened our eyes to find we were in a room with wooden walls without a door or windows and a couch in the middle.
???: Please sit.
We heard a voice resound all around us. The voice didn't seem to sound like it had a gender or age. It sounded old and young, like a male and female all at the same time.
Other 3: HUUUH?
???: Sit down please.
We complied with it's request. The other's looked like they haven't really come back from their shock so I spoke with a voice of indifference.
Me: Who are you and where are we?
???: As expected from the one who doesn't feel. ...Completely unfazed. If you must know i'm the one you call god or creator along with many others.
War: BULL!!
Hunger: Yeah there's no such thing as god!
Plague: Guy's shush! If he's the real deal then he can kill us.
Plague was right, even though our lives were harder and more painful than other lives, doesn't mean we want to die.
War: Come on plague obviously this guy is like the prime minister. I mean isn't this exactly like the time we were taken to the facility. He probably wants our power for his own use.
???: You aren't wrong.
War: SEE!!! HE EVEN ADMITTED IT!!
War was in battle stance with his arms raised and his legs ready to launch at the unknown person as soon as they appeared.
???: But i'm not like that minister and to prove it i'll show you something.
Suddenly the room changed into nothing but stars and the earth in front of us. At first we were speechless, including me. While the others were simply stunned and surprised. I was trying to figure out how this was possible. I knew it wasn't a drug since while we were in the facility they trained us to be immune to all kinds of drug's and poison's. Then I thought it was some kind of technology but thanks to having nothing to do for 4 years but read books on technology and mechanics I knew that nothing could create a image this clear and big with great detail.
Hunger: H-how?
Then suddenly their was a jerking motion and we were being pulled with great strength and speed. We saw the stars fly by so fast that they looked like lines in the darkness. Then we saw the milky way turning right in front of us and that's when we stopped. Again the other's were stunned but I already came to terms with the fact that we were possibly dealing with a divine being.

Me: Okay so you made your point. But what do you want with us.
Hearing this the other's snapped out of it and waited for the answer.
God: Simple really. I want you to be the new 4 horsemen.
Us: Huh?
God: You've heard the story of the 4 horsemen right. You know how their the bringers of the apocalypse.
We all nodded at this to no one in particular.
God: What you don't know is that the horsemen did bring the apocalypse to your world but didn't succeed since the human's are still around.
Hunger: Wait, your saying that the beings that can bring the apocalypse to the world failed?
God: Yep. During the time my supposed son was born was actually the time the apocalypse began. But they could only kill a few million people.
Plague spoke with disbelief in her voice.
Plague: But didn't they have powers that could send mankind to the pits of hell?
God: Actually the humans have to die first and enter hell. The original horsemen had powers that like yours could twist mankind and nature around their fingers but theirs was stronger than yours. However their power went to their heads and instead enslaved humanity and became kings that tried to take my head. But I simply took their powers and made them mortal.
Hunger: Interesting story, really but what does this have to do with us?
Suddenly we were sitting on the couch back in the room with the wooden walls.
God: Like I said I want you to become the new 4 horsemen.
Me: ...Seriously?
God: Yes, unlike the first 4 you were able to kill 1/4 of the world and you made 7 billion people fear you. But theirs a catch, it won't be your world that you will go to.
Suddenly something like a TV screen showed up in front of us. On the screen was a planet that was blue and green like earth but the continents were shaped differently.
God: This world is Fothel. Home to many species that you can find in the manga and games you have on your planet. Currently their is great tension between the races and a war will break out that will change the world.

Now I became more interested in this as did the others judging by the looks on their faces.
God: Each race is doing everything they can to prepare and survive this war. The human's even went as far as to summon hero's from your world to help them out.
Then the screen changed to a scene inside a throne room with a bunch of kids that look 16-17 in front of a king with a girl at his side and a crowd behind them. The kids were wondering where they were until the king spoke.
King: Greetings hero's. As i'm sure your wondering what is going on and have many questions but please wait as I need you to hear me out.
All the kids started paying attention to the king and listened. The king introduced himself as king Fredrick while the girl at his side was princess Monique. Then they started explaining the circumstances of the world. We listened as they talked about the tension between species and the different race's. The world was occupied by humans, demons, beast-men, elves, dwarves, and monsters. Each species is ready to tear at each others throats especially the demon's while the monsters, being mindless brutes, already attack every species.
Then a boy that looked like a model with brown hair and a little muscle came forward and bowed.
Boy: We will gladly help you in your time of need.
Some of the kids followed his example while others didn't seem so sure about it but eventually did the same. Then the screen disappeared.
God: So that's the situation.
Me: Okay so we understand the situation but I still don't understand how we come into play.
War: Yeah, I mean can't those supposed hero's just deal with it.
God: Yes but I don't know the future. Well actually I don't want to know the future for fear if I did then I might personally bring the apocalypse. Which is like killing my own children.
Hunger: So in other words your making us do the dirty work.
God: Actually i'm sending you to Fothel so you can observe the actions that take place. If at some point or in the end the war leads to a unfavorable conclusion that turns the world onto a darker path, then I will give you the power you need to cleanse the world so I can start over in giving life to the planet. But if the outcome is favorable then you can simply travel the world and gain enough power and strength to beat the current gods that watch over Fothel.
War: SERIOUSLY?! WE CAN BEAT THE GOD'S? THAT SOUNDS FUCKING AMAZING.
God: Hold on! I didn't say I will just give you the power. Only if I summon the apocalypse will I give such power. Until then you will have to earn it yourselves.
Hunger: ahhh didn't you see what we went through on earth? I think we earned it already.
Hunger said this and you could feel the laziness in his voice.
God: Actually on earth you were still given your powers even though you got them in a horrible way. But i'll tell you what. I'll let you keep the powers you got and make it so they can become so much more with training.
Plague: What if we don't want to do this?
God: Then I send you to hell for killing around 1.3 billion people both innocent and guilty.
Me: I don't think we have much of a choice. Let's just take his deal.
Other 3: Agreed.
God: Hoho wise choice. Now when you get their you will keep your look but I may add some things to your body to help you a little.
With that another flash of light appeared and we were no longer within the room but on our way to Fathol to see if it should be destroyed or continue to live.

Code Reader Kagami (LitRPG)
Sometimes things happen in this world that we are not in control of. Sometimes we are to a certain degree, and sometimes we are completely in control. However, this is a tale that constantly questions those boundaries. The story follows Kagami, a young programmer, as he winds up in a world almost alien to him. If it were up to him, he would have never visited this world and would rather stay raising his young daughter. Was it through his own actions that he had wound up here? Was it due to several combinations of factors? Or was it something he completely chose. These are questions that constantly haunt Kagami’s mind as he wanders this world and ponders his actions. Unfortunately, the glaring truth of it all refuses to ever look him in the eyes. Each night as he looks up at the night sky, he wonders if the end of this would turn out like the game he made. A tale of Guts and Glory… or would it turn out like he fears, a tale of blood and tears. Regardless of how it turns out, he will one day unveil the truth enshrouding it all. And perhaps in doing so, unveil the fate of his old world, enshrouded by mystery. ___________________________________________________________________________ While this is a typical Isekai started by the infamous truck-kun, the story is most definitely not what is to be taken at face value. I love making tragic twists into these types of stories. For Code Reader Kagami, you'll begin to see a descent into psychological madness. As your hero changes entirely from the moral man he initially was. If you're not a fan of dark aspect stories, this one is not for you. Thank you~

Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev
