《Mine (LenxMiku/Lenku/MikuxLen)》17
Advertisement
As we walk to class, I can't help but feel Len's burning stare.
"Hey, what's your deal?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow wickedly.
He shook his head like he was trying to get out of some sort of trance, and his cheeks tinted pink.
Probably from embarrassment.
"S-Sorry, I was spacing out..." Looking down at me, he smiled.
I made a 'hmph' noise and continued walking forward. Since when does he have the right to gawk at me like a hairy monkey at the zoo?
We all went our separate ways, and I sighed.
I hate being lonely, I repeated in my head, and then bumped into someone...
Neru.
Oh hell no. We all know what happened the last time I was alone with her.
I tried walking past her, and she stopped me. However, it was not in her usual aggressive way.
"I need to talk to you."
"I can't," I respond quickly.
"Why?" She asks, tilting her head innocently as if she hasn't broken my leg.
She bats her long eyelashes that match mine, and pouts her slightly plumpish limps.
"Because I need to get to class."
"I understand. Meet me at lunch."
She understands? What got into her? I can see her smiling warmly out of the corner of my eye, which she rarely does.
It's a fake smile.
"Neru, dear, come into the kitchen, please," Mother called me, and I followed.
I love being pampered by my mother. It makes me feel... rich and spoiled.
"Yes, mother?" I asked, popping my head into the kitchen.
"Closer, please. I can't stand one sided conversations, Neru, you know that~" She puffed seductively as if I was one of her sex slaves. Gross. I didn't mind the loud noises coming from the bedroom, as long as I got what I wanted.

I always got what I wanted.
Her long, slender finger beckoned me over, gold eyes shining with pure delight.
"I need you to pull something on the Hatsunes." By the sound of that, I grinned.
Oh, I can't wait 'till I tell my dad, Kenji Hachune all about this! He'll be proud.
His last name sounds like it's mispronounced... strange.
"Of course, mother! What can I do?"
"I need you to marry Mikuo Hatsune." My eyes widened in shock.
Mikuo? That gross kid that probably doesn't have a chance with anyone other than that blonde girl?
"B-But mommy, I-"
"Remember my name, Akita."
"But... mother, I-I don't love him. I want to marry Len. That's the reason why I started torturing Miku and her family in the first place! She's getting in my way." I pout. I'm not used to having things ripped away from me.
I'm lucky. With all the others, my mother made abortions.
She chose to bring me into the world.
"Oh, I know, sweetie," she said, her fingers twirling around my hair. I'm not aloud to cut it.
"Right after you get a hold of his money, you can kill him. Then you'll be so rich that Len will just fall for you immediately," Mother let go of my hair and looked up at me, considering the fact that she was sitting down on an oak chair, sipping coffee normally, like she just didn't talk about murdering someone.
It all hit me.
Len wouldn't fall for girls who kill. Len wouldn't fall for girls who hurt.
Len would fall for someone behind the looks.
I would never kill anyone. Maybe hurt them a bit, but it's not murder. I would never murder.
Once I told my Miku problem to my mother, and she said to hurt her.

I hesitated, but I did it.
Look at where that got me.
Nowhere.
I can't do this anymore. I never felt full when hurting the Hatsunes anyway. I felt... bitterly guilty.
"I-I can't murder someone, mother.. even I wouldn't go as low as that," I frowned.
"I command you. You follow my command. It's murder or be murdered, Neru dear. Pick one."
My own mother would actually consider murdering me?
What kind of sick house do I live in?
"Y-Yes, mother.." I bow, and I almost start crying.
I know I can't be with Len.
I know I can't murder Mikuo, no matter how irritating.
I know I can't get a happy ending. That only means that others .
And they will.
A week had past of thinking, planning, and groaning, even up to now.
I should do something...
If I'm not killed by then.
I snap out of the small flashback, and rub my temples. 29 days to seduce Mikuo.
I better do it fast. Quick and painful.
No, don't do that to them! It's not their fault that Len doesn't like you! It's yours. It's your mother's. Please... make peace with them. Fight her together!
I debated what I should do in my head.
It'll take long for me to befriend them, anyways, a part of my mind retorted.
Double the time to seduce one of them!
I almost yelled stop. At myself. God, that would've been embarrassing.
My mother's pampers are just bribes. Lies. Signs that no one cares for you. Signs of pure... mimicry.
I'll dong know if I should fight with them against her.
I don't know if I can even call her my mother anymore.
I'll call her by her true name.
The word escaped my lips as if it was some sort of sacred ancestor.

8 248Second Life's Game: Hell
(LitRPG/Fantasy) *** Disclaimer: I changed the title of this fiction because I realised that religious people may be offended by it. This fiction is purely intended to entertain and is not based upon any religion. *** What comes after death? The Afterlife. A world split into three layers. Heaven, Nexus and Hell. The Afterlife is harsh, cruel, and sometimes downright unfair, with everything based upon luck. A world with a game system, which enables the residents to level up, and gain special attributes. A tower lies in the middle of it all, named the Core, which provides passage to God, who will bestow on you your greatest desires. Unfortunately, to get to God, one must conquer 27 stages and battle against others wishing to meet him too. Ikite, a young teenager, gets killed by a gang of criminals and reawakens in Hell with a different body and life. As his two new personalities meld into one, he becomes an 'Awakener', someone who has their previous life's personality sharing their mind. However, he realises he has no combat perks, a bad class and a peasant's life in Hell, the lowest layer. At first, he decides on a hardworking, yet peaceful life with his mother, but bad luck wouldn' leave him alone. Forced to journey where he doesn't want to journey, will he overcome his obstacles, change his perspectives, and climb the tower? Or will he sink into the lifeless state, just like many of those around him... Kick back and relax with this book as it's your traditional LitRPG, with a twist or two here and there. New chapter at least every two days (unless previously stated).
8 140Chronicles Of The Storylord: 12th Chronicle - Origin
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universe(s), and were given a grace period in which they would experience a relatively safe expansion of their domains. Once that period is up, however, they are free to interact with each other...and what lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. I am the 12th soul, but I am not as those others are, for I am merely a shard. My purpose: begin the Tale anew. For I am the Storylord, and I am the Tale. The Tale is all, and all is the Tale, yet the Tale is myself, for I am all in my domain. This is my story, the saga of many, the legend… of the Tale. Just remember this: “This world is but a story, and all the stories are true...” This story is in the same general multiverse as RE: Deity by lightningwarrior21, but will be almost completely separate except in a few chapters. I have permission from him to use his base multiverse, and you should go check out his fiction, it’s really good. http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9597 This ‘fiction’ will be updated sporadically, so don’t expect much of a steady stream of chapters. (I’ll try to do one chapter a week, but no promises.) Suggestions on how to improve this universe helps with the management, so comments are welcome, as are Grammar Nazis. I’ve had this fiction mostly as scattered notes in my google drive, and only recently had enough time to actually put it together, like I promised lightning back in January. (Writer’s block and schoolwork do not mix well.) The cover is not owned by me, I found the image on google images. Anyway, I’ll be back yesterday… or was that tomorrow? (I really need to get that damn causality generator fixed, me-damnit!) See ya!

I will strive to depict them as true to life and as respectfully as posible. So do have that in mind when reading, but I would also like to ask you to point out when I get something wrong. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey people! This is my first sirious writing project, so I hope you'll like it. And if you don't thats OK, but i'd like if you could leave a coment or review so I know why, and I can fix or explain it.
