Che. I forgot to shut my alarm clock off yesterday.
Gah. I reach out to the object of my annoyance and shut it down.
Silence. Lovely silence.
Dammit. I can't sleep anymore. Well that's why I bought that alarm. It wakes you up real good. Sighting I get up half way and sit on my bed. The clock show's 6:30 am.
Puuuh. Just great, what do I do now? Normally I would get ready to go to school but that isn't necessary anymore. Training though might be a good idea and afterwards I'll probably look for John and ask him some questions. This time without snapping though.
Yes, I'll go out jogging today. While I might not practice any martial arts I still keep my body quite fit.
I put on a loose pair of trousers, my gym shoes, a t-shirt and a jersey. Silently I make my way out of my room. Don't want to wake any of the other five up.
The hallway is empty which isn't that surprising.
Doesn't matter anyways. Let's just get back to jogging for now. Luckily since we count as special cases we have a lot more freedom. After having gained control over our "instable" power we officially gained the trust of the principal. It allows us to be able to leave the school grounds. Even without a guard. Though a whole squad of highly trained soldiers would come rushing after us if we dared to not come back at a certain agreed time and they would shoot to kill in all cases.
I slowly walk out of the front door of our barrack. The air is fresh right now but considering that it's only around 6:45 it's not that surprising.
Not wanting to jog around the school grounds I make my way towards one of the gates.
The whole campus is located just outside of a city. None of us actually know where we are in the US. The only thing that was told to us was that it's name had been Laconia.
The military area is divided into four major parts.
The first being the actual military grounds for the personnel of the esper and suppression squadrons. They had everything there ranging from all sorts of vehicles to fighter jets.

The second part was a training facility. It was mostly a huge open area where the soldiers were trained in various weaponry. This was the biggest section as it took up more space than the other three combined.
The third portion was a research facility. Unlike the other parts it was made up of almost only buildings that looked like hospitals from far away. None of us really knew what went on in those. And neither did we want to. It was for science and research so it was probably something dangerous anyways.
Lastly there was the actual school grounds. This was the section where the students legally where allowed to stay. It consisted of the main school, three barracks and of course some sport fields.
The parts two, three and four all were connected to the first. It had been a counter measure so everyone that wanted to leave the area as a whole would have to go through the military first.
I was currently making my way over to the training section. As said before as one of the special students I was allowed to move freely between the different portions.
Theoretically I could ask for access of the research facility but I don't think I was that special to be allowed to go there.
As of now I was happy to get some space in the furthest corner of Section 2.
Getting to the gates leading to Section 1 I pull out my ID card and hand it to the guard there.
Without saying anything he checks something on his computer and waves me through.
"Don't do anything stupid and be back at 2."
Then I'm through. Don't want to spend too much time at the sleeping barracks of the normal soldiers though, so my legs carry me to another gate leading to Section 2.
The same sight greets me and I repeat the same process as before.
Again the guard waves me through after telling me to be back at 2.
Haa, most of the different guards don't know me or the others. What they do know is that there are a few individuals that have the ID to move in the whole area. I literary only use it to exercise outside. Since as said before I don't want to arouse too much suspicion by asking for access of the science labs.
Looking around me I can spot some soldiers already being trained by their superior. This is always fun to watch as they always get shouted at and get insulted pretty badly. I'm still not sure why this happens.

I walk to one of the fields used for long jogs or marathons. It has a circular pattern and is around 15 miles long.
After a small warm-up I attach as much weight to myself as possible while still keeping the ability to run. At the moment that is around 4 tons. Yea, I've gotten pretty strong.
With the added challenge I slowly start to move forward.
It feels sluggish at first but after accelerating my movements stabilize. While running with that much weight added to you it feels as if you're an unstoppable force. Your turn radius is immense though. I smile through the wind that flows through my short hair.
This was something I liked. Just being able to run freely for as long as I could. Without getting stopped, without anything in your way.
About half way around the whole course I pass by a whole squadron of soldiers trotting by in a slow run.
I must've looked pretty crazy to them due to the smiling face. Also it actually looked as if I was sprinting along the course. Some of them undoubtedly have seen me before but most of them haven't and so it causes quite a commotion since 20 highly trained individuals just where overtaken by what seems to be a young girl.
Approximately I'm probably running at the speed of a bike during the Tour de France. And that with 4 tons none the less.
I feel like I'm on top of the world.
In the distance I can make out around ten people in black uniforms jogging in the distance.
Never seen them before.
Smiling deviously I pick up my pace to catch up to them. They seemed like some kind of special corp. It's always fun to show them their limits.
They too are running at quite the speed as such it takes a bit of time to catch up to them.
Just as I'm about to overtake them one of them turns her head around. A small face looks at me with short brown hair of the same fashion as me. Her eyes widen in shock for a split second before she shouts something to her comrades.
Then surprisingly they start to go faster.
Confused I too match their speed again and start running besides them. All of them wear long sleeved clothes covering every part of their limbs.
Something seems off but I can't quite catch what it is.
Who cares anyways. I keep accelerating sending a challenging gesture at the squad behind me. Girl's gotta have fun at some point right?
I reach my top speed which I can keep up for around half an hour.
HA, I showed those gu-
"HEY GIRL, HOW COME YOU'RE SO FAST?!?!!"
What?
Somebody had just shouted at me. From behind.
Che!
Turning my head I can see eight people running behind me, seeming not in the slightest stressed by the insane speed.
"SAME QUESTION BACK AT YOU!"
I shout at the brunette just behind me.
To be able to keep up with me. Espers maybe? That'd be bad.
Who cares. If I mess up Lane will have to do more paperwork.
Smiling at the inconvenience for Lane I lift one ton off my shoulders and start sprinting to full speed in seconds.
Let's see if you can keep up now.
I look back again. This time the surprise in the soldiers faces is sugar for me.
HA
Then something incomprehensible happens. The facial expression of the woman in front of me changes. From surprise to a challenging smile. With that she lowers her upper body to the ground and starts flinging herself forward with her arms.
ha...ha...ha...
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!
She overtakes me in a matter of seconds. After running a small amount of time she stops. Leaving a huge mark in the earth stating the speed she had just run at.
Extending one arm towards me she waits for me to frontally run into her. What is this?
FINE if she wants a challenge I'll give it to her.
Keeping the weight of three tons I charge towards her and prepare my cells for the impact that will either knock her out directly or crush the arrogant attempt to stop me.
Maybe I've been the one being arrogant.
Our clash comes closer only a few seconds separate us now.
Moving into a stance of a football player running through the defense of an enemy team I wait for her to react.
Nothing. She doesn't react.
FUCK IT.
I jump towards her to reach my own possible max speed at that moment. Literary every single cell in my body is prepared for this moment, for the crash.
Then I notice it. At the last moment I realize something.
Why are her legs getting bigger closer to the ground and why do they have a rectangular from?
Why is she wearing gloves?
AND MOST IMPORTAINTLY, WHY DOES SHE HAVE METAL PARTS ALONG HER NECK?!!?!?!!

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.

Bloodshed
Every ship has its secrets. The Bloodshed was no different. As its name suggests, this ship had seen its fair share of bloodshed. Originally, the ship was christened The Star of Orion. Over time with all the battles it endured, it quickly became known as Blood of Orion. Eventually, that morphed into the name we know today. The Star of Orion was built as a trade ship but when she was captured by pirates, she was modified and outfitted with anywhere between 15 and 30 guns. She was captained by one of the most fearsome pirates to roam the northeastern coast of North America and the southern coast of Africa, Anwen Wolfe. Anwen was known as the Wolf of the Atlantic. She captured The Star of Orion on its way to London. Little is known about what happened in their final days on the high seas, until now.
