《I should care because?》Tournament Part 2

Keme's POV
When we reached the other end of the portal, I immediately looked for Silence. Making sure that she wasn't teleported to a different place.
I was shocked, well shock would be exaggerating it. As thought, she did escape, wether this was good or not was up to perspective. Yet here we were, stuck in a dying world. As thought, the gods have decided that it would be better to sacrifice a world than to let her run rampant.
Though, if the rumors of her were true then wasn't it that she would destroy the world before anything else?
"Let's go look for a place to rest," I told Silence, they were in line for more than half of the day. It was now noon and it would be a good idea to have a base as well. Until they figured out where they were that is.
3rd person POV
Wherever the duo went, they brought along a tyrannical aura, which scared most of the demonic beasts, and some contestants. The contestants of course, thought that it was simply a very powerful beast as another student couldn't possibly produce an aura this frightening.
This resulted in the duo not being confronted with any beast nor contestant. Of course, Silence knew nothing of this nor did she wonder why she there wasn't any encounter with any beast. Keme however seemed to glow. Well, having to contain his aura everyday does take it's toll, ending with it becoming stronger. It was truly an endless cycle. So now that he could release it........of course, he's have to withdraw it if they were to kill anything. He wondered how Silence was able to contain her aura.
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest. A young maiden was skipping around without the care in the world. Behind her where the three boys, keeping an eye on her while scheming against a certain someone.

"Be careful," Daimon called out to Angel.
"It would be a pain in the neck if you brought us trouble," the other one with red hair said.
"I'm not that weak," Angel complained, while blushing.
"Of course-"
"Of course you aren't weak, it's that if you encounter a beast stronger than you......"
"Oh, ok then," Angel said bashfully before spotting a daisy patch and running towards it.
They then glanced at each other with a challenging look and a killers intent.
"Not until we kill him," the other one said. If it weren't for the fact that they wouldn't be able to defeat Keme by themselves, they would've already killed each other a long time ago, regardless the consequence.
"And the girl?"
"She needs to die as well."
And the root of this problem was happening was busy making a daisy chain, completely aware of the problems she would bring by doing that simple action. Her mouth curved upwards as a fragment of a spirit sliped into her host.
Heh, this world was indeed boring. The only reason she was here was because of her little sister......
Angel sighed, the world will soon dance in the palm of her hands, though there wasn't any fun in this little world. No fun at all.
She glanced at the men behind her, their eyes filled with despair as words they didn't mean came out of their mouths.
Isn't this what true despair was? To be unable to controll anything? Angel laughed, what you gave to me, I will give to everyone, only then...perhaps my heart can rest in peace.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

8 207After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
