《Challenge System》CH4: Rip And Tear
Advertisement
I sucked in a breath of stale air while hot blood rushed all around us and soaked my clothes to the bone. Getting rid of them would make me faster, maybe fast enough to win. I had no idea where its vital organs were, but I could feel the opening of one of its arteries. I hadn't cut it yet, but feeling its size, I knew it had to be a major artery. Unfortunately, arteries led away from the heart, and I could feel the mushed-up veins around us wiggle, and a few put themselves back together. Give this thing enough time, and it would recover.
Searching through the light of my phone, I accidentally snapped a picture, and suddenly my SP started increasing. Elorael happened to be in the shot, and suddenly the mystery solved itself when I saw the usernames. If Alucard109 wasn't a dead giveaway, Dracula69 and DVempyrLesat made it obvious and were either vamp goths or actual vampires. I pushed Elorael against one of the bleeding manhole-sized veins and took a picture for good measure.
As the SP poured in, I formed the beginnings of a plan. Veins, unlike arteries, went to the heart. "Follow behind me I'm going in," I said and stuffed myself in the constricting, near airless vein leading into the kaiju's heart.
I crawled faster than any man had before through the tight tube even as it constricted and pulled us. Blood filled the vein behind us and gave us a hard push as the heart pumped.
"Take a breath," I yelled as a pressurized torrent of blood pushed us into the heart. Then, finally, I ripped, tore, and sliced open the massive heart. Air had already filled the massive organ like a balloon; all it took was a slice to end the organ, but even as the heart we were in stopped beating, I heard another rhythmic boom. The beast fell at that moment and rolled while my knife cut into the hard tissues of the heart. Still, the rhythmic boom couldn't be hidden, and I crawled using the thick musculature of the heart to keep Elorael and me from falling.

It was the pills that did it. There was no way I could have held on as long as I had before or held my breath long enough to make a difference. Even as I fell, my muscles tear they were also healing slowly but surely. Time ticked away as I stabbed and crawled my way towards the secondary heart.
We crawled out of a gaping wound in the heart, and I turned on my phone's flashlight to have a look around. Sure enough, a heart shaped like a soda can swelled and squeezed. I turned my light to shine it down on a grey brain-looking mass of flesh covered in spindly white nerves and the kaiju's spine.
The monster suddenly rolled over, and I threw the tear aiming myself like a missile. I yelled and punched a hole through the hard muscle of the secondary heart. Blood bubbled up, and the monster convulsed as I punched hole after hole into its heart with my fist and knife. Finally, the monster rolled and picked itself up. I held my breath, ran, and jumped over the edge.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
