《Chronicles of a former God - the lives of Vince and Remus》4. Past 2
Advertisement
Her clothes were in tatters and she had tears running down her face!
For a moment, Remus couldn't comprehend what he was looking at.
After a few seconds, he didn't want to!
His mind was filled with endless rage and fury!
He shouted in a voice filled with anger and told them to stop!
The boys finally noticed Remus standing on the door.
But looking at his small figure, decided to ignore him and continued ripping Ahenna's clothes.
Remus looking at what happened and stopped speaking.
The next moment, reasoning left his mind!
Instinct took over!
He took a step forward and took the rusty looking metal pipe lying near the door.
He started running and bashed the pipe on the head of the boy standing nearest to him and was laughing with a lecherous look on his face.
The boy collapsed on spot. But before he could even fall, Remus had hammered the pipe into another boy's face!
The other kids finally notice what Remus had done and had bewildered expressions on their faces.
But it was too late.
Before they could get on their feet and take positions, Remus had attacked another boy on the back of his neck, the pain from the concussion caused him to scream and pass out.
The next victim was the one who was holding Ahenna's legs.
Remus attacked him with a fist to the nose, followed by a strike on the chest!
Now, there were 8 others left.
Remus took a sword stance with the pipe and took a step forward.
His target had enough time to prepare and had extended his hands out, he was trying to catch the pipe.
But the things he imagined never happened!
As Remus delivered his strike, he tried grabbing the pipe but the strike was too fast and unbelievably strong. He couldn't stop the strike and it landed straight into his face.
Fortunately, he didn't faint.
But that was what was unfortunate for him, because now he had to feel the pain!
The next person to take action was not Remus but a boy who was standing in a corner of the room.
He also had a wooden stick in hand.
Apparently, he was the leader of this group.
He was famous for being short tempered. On top of that, he had been practicing martial arts from an early age, which made him even more scary, as he was really good at fighting!
Most of the people in this room were his followers.
The moment he took action, he signaled 2 of his followers to attack as well. The two who received his orders, ran bare handed towards Remus.
It took only an instant for Remus to understand what was happening.
He swiftly took a paperweight lying on the table next to him and threw it toward one of the followers' crotch.

By the time he threw it, the leader was upon him!
He knew he couldn't block the stick approaching him, as the leader had more power than him.
So he decided to deflect it, and the direction he deflected it to, was from where the other follower was coming.
The stick landed on his leg. As the leader had used all of this power in this strike, it was quite lethal.
Kreeeaak
This was the sound of bones breaking. The follower held his leg and the pain caused him to faint.
The leader noticed what happened and raged!
He couldn't accept a kid using his own strike to attack his follower. He took the stick which was in a sorry condition and took action.
But Remus was faster.
He had already decided the next set of actions and had used the force from the strike he delivered to the stick to take a 360 degree turn and delivered another strike to the leader's neck.
It landed on the spot he wanted and the leader fell without even making a sound!
All this took a bit to explain but had occurred in less than 3 seconds!
The guy who had a paperweight thrown at his crotch was lying on the ground, crying in agony.
The one who was busy tearing Ahenna's clothes couldn't take it anymore.
He told the one holding Ahenna's hands to help him as looking at what happened to their leader made him a bit more alert.
Remus threw the pipe towards the former's temple.
The guy tried dodging, but it landed on his left eye instead!
Looking at what happened, the other guy hesitated and in that moment of hesitation, Remus pounced at him!
He delivered a kick to the leg the guy was using to stand up, which destroyed his posture. Then he punched him in the face, right on the nose.
But instead of falling, the guy stood up. Scared out of his wits, he ran towards the door.
Remus didn't stop him and looked at the 3 left.
Two of them looked at him while the one left, closed his eyes, covered his ears and crouched on the floor mumbling to himself.
He was the only one who was not one of the people who followed the leader.
He had come here, joining the flow, expecting to get a chance to abuse Ahenna after all the others were done with her!
The two who looked at Remus were scared as well.
They had seen him defeat 8 people who were much older than him, that too with precise attacks.
They had seen their leader fall with one hit!
They knew they couldn't defeat him and from the look in Remus's eyes, they could tell that he would not allow them to run away and thus decided to wait for him to deliver his punishment.

Remus didn't let go this chance.
He took the pipe and delivered 3 consecutive strikes to the face of one of them!
The other one received multiple strikes to the stomach.
By now, Remus had regained a bit of his reasoning.
He stopped and decided to leave the last one unhurt.
He wanted him to explain what happened to Chen and the others.
And he wanted to have as many people as possible, look at his state.
He wanted everbody to know that this is what would happen to you, if you even thought about hurting Ahenna!
Moments later, Chen and the servants came running in.
They saw what happened and were shocked.
Fortunately, they were able to understand what happened and didn't say anything to Remus.
Although some of them thought that what he did was a bit extreme, when they looked into his eyes, they decided to keep their thought to themselves.
The incident came to an end.
All the boys who tried to abuse Ahenna, were handed over to the police. Chen decided to let the police decided their punishment.
Strangely, the incident didn't have a negative effect on Ahenna. Rather, she started smiling and sticking to Remus even more.
Looking at her expression, Remus became worried and asked if she was okay?
As a reply, she smile and told him that the figure of him getting furious and beating up the bad guys for her sake was truly heroic.
That her little brother was the best in the world!
This caused him to think that she was a bit weird.
Afterwards, their lives became peaceful once again. Until,
Remus was now 13 years old. He was attending school as usual.
On the sports day, he was participating in multiple events.
This was going to be like any other sports day but this time, Ahenna, who was now 16 years old, was coming to watch him participate.
This made him really excited!
She, who went to an all girls school and held a position of responsibility, was never able to attend any events that happened in his school.
But this time, she took special permission from her principal.
And what happened was that with a brain filled with excitement, he performed a bit too well!
He went ahead and won all the events he was competing in, with overwhelming ability.
The students and teachers who saw this were left with open mouths.
This, in turn caused most of them to think that Remus had been deceiving them.
Although there was truth in what they thought, they took it a step ahead and started saying that he was conceited!
That he was trying to play with their feelings.
Remus, who had been doing this in fear of being isolated for being different, thought, this is was ridiculous!
But it didn't just stop there, a lot of his school friends started ignoring him.
He would often find people talking about him and dissing him.
There were people who got interested in him because of it as well, but Remus hated relationships based on such shallow traits.
All this, caused Remus to hate anything related to physical activities at school.
From then on, he started skipping school on physical examination and sports days.
.......
Just when Remus was about to celebrate his 15th birthday, his life took another turn.
Ahenna's condition started deteriorating!
She suddenly fell ill!
Chen and Remus took her to the best doctors they could find, but none of them could pinpoint the cause for all this.
She had to go through countless tests. They even took her abroad, in hopes of finding the cause and the cure for her condition!
But all their efforts were in vain. They couldn't find anything!
After two months of going back and forth from hospitals, Ahenna decided to stop.
When Remus asked for a reason, she said she wanted to live the remainder of her life at home, by his side.
He tried his hardest to convince her to not give up!
But she said that she was not giving up but accepting her fate.
Remus stopped persuading her.
A few days later,
Chen died!
He fell down the stairs and the wound to the head took his life on spot!
A funeral was held. All the kids and servants cried. Remus and Ahenna cried for days.
After they were done with the funeral, it was decided that, with the owner of the orphange gone, the orphanage would be closed down and all the kids would be shifted to other facilities.
Surprisingly, Chen had left all his assets to Remus!
Remus decided to keep half of it for himself and Ahenna and give the other half to all the other children.
He used a part of that money to buy an apartment in a safe area and changed schools.
Remus went to school and Ahenna stayed at home where a part-time maid took care of all her needs.
" huh~ is this that 'your life flashes in front of your eyes before you die' thing? But i am already dead! "
Remus shouted.
He was still in the white space.
Although he couldn't tell how much time had passed, it felt as if it had been hours.
He was getting bored.
" I thought a god would come to receive me after death. Is this it? Am i going to be here forever? "
He was bored and clueless.
When suddenly,
" You are not dead you know. "

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
