Third Person POV
Lyon Stoneheart, or Leo for short, tugged on the black hood that was currently over his head covering most of his face. He wears sunglasses that cover his, "", eye color that most kids find disturbing to look at
He's been bullied all his life up till the age of 17, which is the age he's at right now. He's never had a friend that stayed with him, he's had no one to call family. His family hate him just as much as the world does, no one is ever on his side…
"Hey weirdo!" Leo stopped in his tracks & turned around to see his highschool bully, his name is Toby Brian, popular school jock every girl wants to fuck
"… what do you want this time…?" he said with a raspy voice, Toby placed a hand on his shoulder before back handing him, leaving quite the bruise
"Who said you could talk back to me, huh? No one, freak!" he started laughing at poor little Leo's face "What I want to know is when am I getting my money." Leo glared up at him through his glasses
"Maybe when you get a job…" he whispered "Even so… I'm broke myself, I have no money for you to take…" Toby gripped his shoulder & glared down at him
"What do you mean by that?" Leo smacked his hand off his shoulder & glared at the male
"It means go pick on someone else for money…" he threw his hood over his head again & quickly hurried away, he was surprised he made it home without getting a beating from Toby & his goons but was unlucky when he found out his mother was home
He quietly opened the door to the house & silently closed it behind him before racing upstairs & locking the door behind him, he collapsed onto his bed & cried into his pillow

… why is the world so cruel…?
why is the world so cruel to me…?
no one loves me…
…i'm a waste of life & breath
i deserve to die & suffer…
everyone is right, & I am always wrong…
"Lyon Drake Stoneheart!" he gasped as he sat up from his bed, it was the sound of his mother "Open this door right now!"
"… y–yes ma'am…!" he took a deep breath before unlocking the door, once he did his mother stormed in with the smell of alcohol & BO coming from her
"You little shit! What did I tell you about cleaning up after yourself, huh?!" he look at her confused & scared until he noticed his older brother at the doorway with a smirk
"I–I didn't t–though…--" he was cut off when she slapped him across the face, he felt tears appear as she glared down at him
"Don't talk back to me you little shit! Besides, its not like your brother would make a mess! He's a good child while your worthless, pathetic." Xavier, his older brother, smirked
"Oh look, little Leo is gonna cry like the crybaby he is!" he trembled in fear when he saw his mother take a step forward with a smirk
"You need to learn your place boy." he fell backwards when she grabbed his neck & began strangling him, he gasped & tried getting her to let go but he was far to weak at the moment
"P–Please stop…!"
"Begging now? Isn't that something!" he felt something snap inside him, he grits his teeth & kicked her off him "You little bastard!" he sprung up & ran to the doorway only to see Xavier blocking the way
"Your not goin--" he was cut off when Leo practically shoved him out of the way "Hey!" he sprinted down stairs & threw the front door open & ran out onto the streets, his hood down & glasses off as he stared in fear at his mother

"Get over here! You still need to learn your lesson you shithead!"
"I–I just… p–please have…--" as he took another step backwards he heard the hobk of a horn, he turned his head & saw an incoming truck "… this is it then…"
??? POV
a gruff yet feminine voice said
"I suppose so…" this time a tender & kind voice replied, the first voice let out a sigh & stared at the person in front of them
"Whatever do you mean Death?"
↓(Death)↓
↓(Life)↓
he chuckled
"Well, don't you kinda feel sad for him?"
"I mean… maybe we should give him a second chance."
"Now wait a sec Death, I have somewhat an idea." she rolled her eyes as he explained his plan to her, she groaned this time & rubbed her temples with one hand, the other one was tightly gripping the scythe in her hand
"Please~ just look at him!" they both look down as saw his mother & brother "crying" over him getting hit by the incoming trunk while driver was apologizing "If it should be anyone's funeral it should be theirs."
"The only place where there's freedom… One Piece." Death looked at him
"Well I'm sorry! Blame Cupid!" she rolled her eyes
(how was that for something different?)

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.

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
