"That boy, he has two siblings, one is 15, Kamiya Ume, a G-rank Adventurers, one is Kamiya Yuzu, 5 years old, his parents were murdered 4 years ago, seems like his relatives avoided the responsibilities for taking care of him, right now, only on paper his legal guardian is his aunt, and captain, do you remember the case where Riku used her [Ability] and attacked a civilian 4 years ago? the same civilian was the one that killed his parents."
"...I see, what a crazy coincidence, anything else?"
"He has a criminal record for stealing. And, this isn't important, but today I trained with him and the other girl if i must say, this boy is weak, he is only good at improvisation, that's all."
"Ho~, alright Akechi, from now on I want you to give me the report of their progress."
"....Sir, it's not like I'm questioning your judgment, but he is a big disappointment."
"Gahaha." a noise that came from Tsukiyama's mouth filled the room. He ignored Akechi and shifted into the next matter.
"Yes, sir! lately, there is another Deinosuchus discovered in France and Mexico, though they are varied in size, the feature and characteristic is the same one. This is only a hypothesis, but we from R&D believed this creature is man made."
"Seems like we will busy again."

Against the dark night sky, all I could see was a crumbling wall, The wind sneaked through its gap, bringing with it the crying of children. I opened the door and welcomed by nothing but a darkness. A girl curling at the corner while a baby laying down on a floor. Slowly, I reached to the curled girl that looked like a ghost that readied to make croaking sound (If a robber broke in, I bet he'll be scared to death.)
"...Hey, Ume, Happy birthday." I put the cake right in front of her and grabbed the baby, (...What do you want? *sigh* your diaper is clean, and you don't want to drink your milk.)

The girl responded to my voice, raised her head and showed nothing but disappointment when she saw the cake.
A cupcake, with one colorful rainbow candle, with a fire that weakly danced on top of it.
"Not hungry."
*sigh* "C'mon, just eat it a little bit, you barely eat anything." Said me, while I tried to figure out what was Yuzu wanted.
"I said I'm not hungry!!" A yell suddenly burst out from her, she stood up and looking at me and Yuzu.
".......What happens to your face?" Said Ume, though it was dark, seemed like both of our eyes already got used to the darkness.
"Oh?... I hit a wall." Yeah, I hit a power pole while I was running after stealing the cake, *sigh* I wondered why my face was the only thing that became blue.
"............... [Daily Spin]" Ah... I felt a lightning jolted inside my body when she used that 'thing'.
The thing that came out was a music box, the type with a mirror and a clown doll that will come out when it was being played. "...Sell it" she said.
She walked next to me bringing the cupcake, split it in half and vaguely, I can see her face was bluer than mine. ".....Here, eat it." and gave me the other half of her cake.
****
"......" I got up and looked at my face, the bruise that had covered my face in a blue stain faded as the hue of my skins returned.
I prepared the breakfast by toasted 6 pieces of bread, as a side dish I made three sunny side eggs and sausage. Though contrary to the sunny side, the weather was a perfect description of gloomy, each time I cracked the egg, the cloud turned darker.
*SREG*
A sound of the sliding paper door can be heard, a child, still wore her animal-themed pajama, wobbling around with her half-closed eyes, she sniffed through the air, her nose pulsating every time she walked closer to the kitchen.

"*sniff* ...Nii-chan something is burning."
"Ah!!" While watching her, I forgot that I was frying an egg, a black smoke slowly filled the kitchen, by the time I removed the egg its color had changed into coal.
Well, the breakfast today wasn't that bad, except for this one egg. *sigh* I guess I'll be the one that ate it.
"Morn..." Ume yawned as soon as she entered the kitchen, her mouth gaped widely. She had a slightly pink-eyed look and slouched shoulder.
"[Daily Spin]" A roulette appeared at the front of her faces, it slowly rotated and once everything was over, the prize we got for today was 10 pieces of darts with an elastic rope.
"What is that!?" Said Yuzu with her sparkling eyes.
"Dunno, hey, you want it? I sell it for 1000 yen each."
"I need to buy it!?"
"Well, duh, I need some pocket money, by the way, are you going to school?"
"Didn't I just gave you!? *sigh* yes, some kind of mission about escorting VIP or something like that."
(Yeah, this sucks ass, what kind of VIP needed to go into a high school?)
"Anyway, since you're taking a day off, why don't you take Yuzu to 'Fu King', and don't forget about the Radiz?
She was slightly annoyed but still doing it, anyhow by the time I arrived at the school, rain poured down from the sky. A golden dot, written with Aguni Kyotaro ran just in time to get into the school entrance.
Drenched in water, slouched shoulder and an eye-bag. "What happened?" I can't help but ask.
"Crazy instructor, *sigh*" No wonder Ume also looked very tired.
nonchalantly I walked to my class, heck, none of my friends came to the school today, the rain became louder and louder mimicking the sound of broken TV.
The teacher taught us half-heartedly, well can't blame him, even I didn't wanna come to the school today, looks like this will become a storm.
"Right, we have a new student today." Said the teacher, he walked out until I can't see him on my [Mini Map] soon, he entered [Mini Map] radius with another Golden dot. (Ah, must be the VIP)
Both of them walked in, what I saw really captivated my eyes, words left me. Everything was slow and warbled as she came in through the door, my mind was blank and my eyes wide as I stared into her burning red eye, starkly contrasting black eye patch compared to her ivory colored hair. Shiny and pale deep scar of claw exposed at her right cheek,
(Should I thank her? What should I do? Should I say sorry? Is she the VIP? How's she got that scar?) though, the thing that my brain formulate for me was. "AAAAH!!! YOU'RE THAT GIRL!!"
The girl didn't even say her name and yet I stood up, yelled like that while pointing my finger at her, if there was a mirror right in front of me, I bet my eyes were sparkling like a star.
"Sorry, do I know you?" Even though the rain was hard, I can clearly hear her, Her voice was different from what I remembered, it was raspy.
"Ah, sorry."
"Huh, what a weirdo, ah right, my name is Akamine Riku."
She sat at the most back seat near the window, and the class begun as usual.
Though, the rain sure falling hard eh, even though there were no thunder or wind... the only thing that existed was a Green dot.
Huh?
Its number rapidly increased, I rushed to the window, ignoring the teacher and the student on my path.
6...10...20....40.... huh? the Green dots were that many, but where were they?
"Kamiya, is something matter?" Said the teacher.
".....80...86, but where?" I kept mumbling, ignoring her words, until vaguely I saw something at the ground.
A puddle, that slowly shaped itself into a woman. The other puddles slowly followed these phenomena.

The Genesis System
Genesis. It is the end of countless stories. The end of thousands of universes, billions of planets, and trillions of lives. But what is taken may also be given, as shown in the story of Cael King. A young man of Earth, knowing only a life of study and work in the relentless and endless pursuit of satisfaction. This is the origin of his story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by the system used in The Legend of Randid.ly Ghosthound. The system is an homage but the characters, world, and story are unique. I will post as often as I can and, given that I am not starting work until July, that should be pretty frequently. If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave them as this is my first story and I'd love to improve both it and my writing style. This is my Patreon. Please join if you'd like to read a few chapters ahead and be part of an interactive community
8 185ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
8 110Gokaiku: I Got Reincarnated, But It Wasn't How I Thought It Would Be!!
When Takeru opened his eyes, all he saw was white and there was nothing else, or so he thought. Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed throughout the white plains, introducing himself as God. And just like any other novels he had read, that "God" offered him a chance to reincarnate. After careful reconsideration, Takeru took the offer and reincarnated into the world of Merusia, but unlike the ones he had read, it was a cheat-free world! Join our main character as he dives into the world of Merusia and experiences an isekai adventure that wasn't quite what he expected. Disclaimer: This story is a novel for me to practice, it has no real plot whatsoever. I want to make this story a heartwarming slice of life one. I wish this would warm your hearts.
8 113The Skeleton Warrior & The Young Priestess
Miria is a young priestess in her school to become a adventurer. She gets a Skeleton familiar and has to over come this and many other obstacles on her journey. Real world style with game like elements.(The cover is like that because I couldn't find anyone good at drawing skeletons. So I mad it myself.)
8 165Fade
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.
