《Bloody Wonderland》Act 2-3 Speed
Advertisement
Author Note: Some of you might have already forgot about it, and i do not have the ability to actually draw a map! so, i’ll say it again. the cafeteria’s location is the southern part of the academy, while the principle’s building is at the central area.....so it’ll take atleast 40 minutes from the cafeteria to the principle’s.
also, i have yet to proof read this, nor will i even do it tonight....been stuck in the autumn fair for about 4 hours, not to mention another 4 hours in traffic, and its already past midnight, so i'm quite tired.....sorry.
anyhow, enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Only a few days have went by....and yet, how come i can't see any students? even though there was a mass panic the other day.......perhaps they’re all hiding?”
i said that after taking a look inside the cafeteria.
the always busy cafeteria is creepily empty......not a s single sound can be heard.
i decided to go out and head to the principal’s place instead.
well, even though i say i’m going to head there.....i’m already here?
as in, i am already in the principle’s place.
“Oh my.......”
what stood before me were huge stones.
the stones that previously made the building are all on the ground. colored......green.
its a very strange color, an emerald green.
i mean, its very hard to achieve.......
either way, i started looking about...until i found something strange.
“Is that.....a bone?”
just as i approached it, i noticed more bones scattered around.
“If i remember correctly.....doesn’t blood turn into emerald green with enough time and exposure to sunlight....? i remember that being taught in biology class...”
i hoped from the bottom of my heart that those were just bottomless worries.
but soon enough.......i uncovered something that’ll force open my eyes toward the truth.
“A human skull....”
and with that, i have determined that these people were mass-murdered.
even though it has only been a few days since we’ve turned up here.....why do people kill?
its all so meaningless.....but the least i can do is see to the truth.
i......i shall stop the person who is agitating my fellow students into murdering each other.
i have always dreamed of becoming a super hero, y’know?
and my favorite super hero is flash!
to think i’d gain an ability similar to his....how can i not use it for good?
and with that, i decided it was time to call an old friend.
“If it was that information geek.....then she should know who did all this....right?”
ahh!
before i forget, i better get myself some weapons.
thank god i prepared for this.....
i head back toward the dorm....only to find it in ruins as well.
“DAMMIT! WHY IS EVERYTHING IN RUINS HERE?!?!?!”
i stomp my feet in anger.
“AHH!!!”
i need to calm down!
breath in~fuu
breath out~~fuu
Alright!
“it’s alright! i’ve hidden it behind the dorm, so hopefully its still there!”

as i said that, i quickly moved to the back of what previously was a building.
my sights fell upon the bird bath that miraculously survived.
although.....its covered in filth.
“Now then....i need to dig under that....”
i began looking for a shovel, but gave up soon enough after looking at the rubble behind me.
i began digging at the hard soil with my bare hands.
my hands began bleeding when i heard a ~Diing! sound.
“Finally! its my survival-kit! i never thought i’d actually use it....but thank god i risked going to jail for it!”
i quickly opened it.
and what was there....was a dual short swords.
i somehow had these smuggled by a very close friend of mine......
now then, should i head out?
i quickly equipped the short swords on my belt and opened my phone.
“Hopefully....she’s alive and her number is not dead.”
i am currently calling the person i am the most indebted for.
it is the person who is an information geek and a well connected person both underground and above ground.
ahh!
she picked up!!
“Shigure! long time no see! although its only been a few days...”
“A few days? are you high on something?? ITS BEEN ALMOST FUCKING 3 YEARS YOU LITTLE FUCK!”
woah!
what the hell?
why is she shouting at me like that...?
“C-calm down! what do you mean? its only been a few days since we’ve been here, right? ....actually, don’t answer that, it’ll just be a waste of time. anyhow, i just saw the stuff near the principle’s place....and there are alot of bodies there. do you.....by any chance, know who did this?”
“Screw you! you contact me for the first time in three years and this?!........... i do indeed have that information......but why do you want to know that? don’t tell me, you’re finally going to fulfill your idiotic dream of becoming a super hero?”
“What?! of course not! .......maybe a bit. but you know....i can’t really give a person that killed so many people roam free. i must avenge the fallen souls....yes....i’m an avenger!”
“Haa......well anyhow, i’ll tell you what you want. but be warned, you will be killed in the process. my advice here is, to close the call right this instant and continue with your life in hiding.”
“I don’t care!”
Its not like i can be killed anyhow!
no one is faster than me after all.
i’ll just end them before they have a chance to even launch an attack.
in the end, my power is speed.
“alright then.....if you want to meet that person, you’ll have to head toward the place where you found the bodies. i’ll arrange a meeting between the two of you.”
“Ehh~? why don’t you just tell me who and his location and i’ll finish it in an instant~!”
“It’s because he doesn’t sit in a single place that i cant do that. so you’ll have to bare with me on this. also, don’t forget what i have told you.....if you want to live, do not show up. this is truly my final warning. you are a dear friend of mine, and

i don’t want to see you killed. atleast until you repay your debts that is.”
“Ahahaha! no worries, i can’t die before i get even with you, right?”
after i said that, Shigure began laughing.
although....it sounded like a very lonely laughter.
i instantly turned up to the principle’s office.....and no one’s here.
“Well.....didn’t i actually turn up pretty early?”
as i said that, i quickly checked the time on my phone.
it has indeed been....only a second.
“What.....2015........?! it really has been 2 years!?”
just as i have been dumbfounded, i heard a person’s footsteps not so far from here.
all i could say is.....they have a very terrible timing. i need time to stomach this....
i mean, its only been a few seconds since i gave the call to Shigure.....so has he been keeping an eye on me?
that's when a figure turned up.
it was the figure of a black haired man.
his eyes were black as well.
his face....wasn’t bad, but wasn’t noteworthy either.
and yet....i felt danger from that ordinary looking person.
he moved his hands upward.....and started clapping.
all of my body cells are screaming to kill him already; that he is too dangerous to leave alive.
that figure opened its mouth and said “Light speed abili--”
before he could continue his speech, i quickly moved behind him, he who was 40m away from me, and sliced his head off.
but.....he wasn’t there.
“i.....i lost in terms of speed.....?!”
i said that after taking a look around for his location and i was shocked, but he, who was in my previous location opened his mouth yet again and began saying “You know! it’s very rude to slash at someone when he’s tal--”
i instantly ran infront of him, and thrust my twin swords in.
“this time....i felt it! stabbing flesh....what a strange feeling! you’re dead now, right?! i do not know exactly how you
moved faster than me, but if you’re dead, then there’s no hel.....ping......it?”
even though, i should have thrust a blade into his heart, and another through his lung....
“H-how....how can you still move.....?!”
“Hey hey...didn’t i just tell you that stabbing someone while they’re talking is rude? anyhow, is this truly the justice you feel right? i mean, aren't you just killing me because i killed those people? do you even know those people who were killed? why are you even trying to avenge them??"
the figure, which had two swords stabbed within very vital areas talked. no.......he kept a barrage of questions coming at me. and then he continued
“Did you know? that a person is able to live without a heart for a full 7 minutes! but that is irrelevant. do you want to know exactly why you are suddenly two years in the future? do you??”
“huh.......? what’re you talking about?! why aren’t you dead?!!?”
i was too dumbfounded to even answer his questions.
“Ahh...c’mon! don’t be like the rest....and here i thought i had my hands with another interesting toy....but to think you turned to be a fool. i’m bored, i don’t need you. but for piquing my curiosity, i’ll answer the last question you had in mind before dying. and that is, how the hell did you come to the future? it should have been only a few hours....or maybe days to you? the answer is actually quite simple! your power is that of traveling in the speed of light!! wanna know a fun fact? i bet you do....don’t you?”
while he said that, the man, who should be dead, revealed a very disgustingly creepy smile.
“Ehh~? you won’t answer?? argh....fine. i’ll tell you whether you want to hear or not, so anyhow. the thing is, did you know that when traveling in the speed of light....you body is actually moving-and this might sound a bit stupid- faster than the earth’s rotation? now then, if that is the case.....that’ll explain exactly why a few moments for you, is actually quite a long time here. quite the intriguing subject, no? although i want to go deeper into the subject....i’m rather pretty busy, so i’ll have you do me a favor and.....die?” ((i'll explain this in more detail in the author note at the bottom.))
just as he said that, i instantly removed my hands from the hilt of the swords and began making my escape.
“ITS USELESS~! since in the end, stopping time means stopping the velocity!”
and just like that, the young man suddenly appeared infront of me.
“>”
he muttered that while i took a U-turn and ran in the opposite direction.
but before i knew it.......a sharp pain ran through my legs and i fell down.
and by a sharp pain.....its too sharp.....for me....to.......think.................any......or............
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The young hero wanna-be looked toward his lower body while screaming on the top of his throat in pain.
his throat began spelling blood from the heavy strain of the shouting, while his body began disappearing.
little by little, he began to shrink.
little by little, he lost his body.
little by little, until nothing was left behind.
-----------------------
Author note: about the justice guy's power.
the thing is, his time does not apply the same as the time on earth, because his speed is higher than the earth's rotation.
now then, the earth's rotation around itself is 1 day.
if you move faster than that, as in as fast as the speed of light, your cells wont age the same as those on earth, not to mention, nor will your memory.
so a few days for justice guy is actually a couple of years on earth.

Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe. You can read them here: Dark Fantasy Short Stories.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.
