《Re:ptile》Chapter 6

Foresee
(Ravenger)
-Emotional Control Deactivated-
My vision returns to normal.
Phew, that’s now settled.
Now, to talk to that seer.
“Hey, girl, I know you’re there.” (Ravenger)
“...” (Celeste)
“It’s safe they’re all gone.” (Ravenger)
The girl slowly crawls out from under the brush.
“...I suppose I can guess, but why are you here? You obviously know its dangerous.” (Ravenger)
“I-I wanted to-” (Celeste)
“Celeste! Why are you… Oh my god…” (Alexia)
Alexia, followed by a group of villagers wearing shabby equipment, stares at the bloodbath.
She stares at me as I tried to act innocent.
God, that stare…
“What? I did my job.” (Ravenger)
“Ugh, I can’t really say anything then…” (Alexia)
GRUMBLE
“...” (Everyone)
Everyone stared at me.
“...” (Ravenger)
“...We’ll settle this later. Celeste, why are you here? You have to get ready for the ceremony tomorrow.” (Alexia)
“Oh no! It completely slipped off my mind!” (Celeste)
“...What ceremony?” (Ravenger)
“Oh, its just her graduating ceremony.” (Alexia)
“...It explains nothing.” (Ravenger)
“Nevermind, you’ll see it later. Now that the threat of the goblins is gone, the villagers can have a piece of mind.” (Alexia)
Well, I guess it really doesn’t concern me at this point.
The bunch of villagers were pointing their swords at me with shaking limbs and sweaty faces.
“...Alexia, could you tell those guys to relax? I’m not gonna eat them…” (Ravenger)
Alexia sighed loudly and led the girl and the villagers back.
Well, I guess I should clear up these goblin corpses…
Digging is a pain though.
Maybe I should eat them. I’m hungry as well.
My cooking skills are not that good though…
A roast would be the best choice.
-A few minutes later-
Mmm… Roasted goblins taste quite nice.

The skin is surprisingly crunchy but the flesh isn’t tender enough.
The water content is too little as well.
I cut out the goblin’s genitals. Even as a monster, I still have humane morals.
After my meal, I went back to the village.
When the guards at the village saw me, I can sense their fear rising.
“A-Alexia said you helped exterminate the goblins, and the residents of Desca are grateful for it…” (Guard)
This seems to be going somewhere.
“...but we can’t accept a monster wandering in our village! Sorry, but we can’t let you in!” (Guard)
,,,
Ouch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Celeste)
Today is the day I graduate from being a seer-in-training.
My mentor has announced a week before that I will become an official seer today and travel out of Desca village.
I feel slightly scared, but excited as well.
“Celeste? Celeste, are you listening?” (???)
“Huh? Ah! Yes, Teacher!” (Celeste)
“*sigh* You should be more focused. This is your graduation ceremony, you know…” (Teacher)
“Yes Teacher…” (Celeste)
I look out at the town square and all the villagers who has gathered.
Soon, I’ll be leaving everyone on a journey.
“To commemorate the graduation of Celeste Tavie, I shall do a divine reading for her, to guide her in the future.” (Teacher)
“Oooh~.” (Villagers)
“Close your eyes, Celeste Tavie. Read and follow the path laid out for you.” (Teacher)
I closed my eyes.
The darkness suddenly turned into a bright light, blinding me.
I covered my eyes with my hand. As the light fades out, I lower my arms.
“Wh-What is this!?” (Celeste)
I see Ravenger sitting on a throne, with a very strong aura surrounding him.
A large army tries to invade the throne room Ravenger is in.
“Monster! I shall defeat you and set the ladies free!” (Knight)

Ravenger stood up and emitted a dangerous aura.
“Dominion!” (Ravenger)
The army fell to their knees with their face full of sweat. Some of them even fainted from fear.
Only the knight remained standing.
“Tsk, your skill does nothing to me, foul beast!” (Knight)
Ravenger growls menacingly.
“Fool! Do you really want do die here? I did not do it!” (Ravenger)
“Stop lying! Face your sin!” (Knight)
“...” (Ravenger)
The knight slashed viciously at Ravenger.
But he didn’t bother to deflect or dodge the attack.
As the sword makes contact with Ravenger, the sword snapped.
“Tsk, as expected of the deadliest monster to ever exist. I’ll have to use this then. Summon, Excalibur!” (Knight)
A sword made of pure light appears in the knight’s hand.
“Take this!” (Knight)
This time, Ravenger stood up and unsheathed two blades.
“If you still want to fool around, I’ll just have to wake you up!” (Ravenger)
Ravenger lunges at the Knight.
The knight’s blow was parried away.
“Tsk, you’re strong.” (Knight)
“Stop with this nonsense and wake up!” (Ravenger)
Ravenger kicks the knight square in the chest.
The knight flies towards the army who’s still under fear.
His sword falls to the floor and disperses.
“S-Sir Arthar!” (Soldiers)
“I’m fine!” (Arthar)
“...Leave. Stop bothering me.” (Ravenger)
“No, I won’t stop here! Until I take revenge for my father!” (Arthar)
“I’ve told you, It’s not me!” (Ravenger)
“Shut up!” (Arthar)
Arthar got up and Excalibur appears in his hands.
“I saw it with my own eyes! I will never forgive you!” (Arthar)
“...What a pain. I’ll have to drive you out by force.” (Ravenger)
Ravenger swings his two blades around.
“Whirlwind!” (Ravenger)
A large wind blows the army out of the throne room, but the knight holds his ground.
“I won’t forgive you!!!” (Arthar)
“...Don’t make me harm you. This is my final warning.” (Ravenger)
“Die!” (Arthar)
“...” (Ravenger)
Arthar charged at Ravenger, with Excalibur pointed to pierce his enemy.
Ravenger suddenly blurs out and appears in front of Arthar.
“Ugh…” (Arthar)
A sword is sticking through Arthar’s body.
“AHHHHHHHHHHH-” (Celeste)
Hey guys, IAmTheKroc
Sorry for a late release. I had to do my homework so I couldn't finish the chapter...
The chapter is also shorter today, because of a personal dateline I set myself with.
Hope you like this chapter, since it shows the future personality of Ravenger.
Its like Rou in Re:Monster, but instead of Rou on the throne, its a humanoid crocodile.
Thanks for reading. Don't try to hard to imagine that...
Peace!

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
