"Tae, stop your rambling and eat.Or at least, let me eat my breakfast in peace." Jimin spoke up, glaring at the said male who pouted in return.The two boys were having their breakfasts, being all ready to go to the university.
It's been two days since Taehyung bumped into Jungkook and a scene similar to the K-dramas occurred.That was great but for Jimin, now he feels like crying now.His best friend is telling him the same things from the last two days like the lovesick puppy he is and now Jimin had more than enough of it.Listening to the same thing this many times is not something anyone can be fond of! Jimin sighed when he saw Taehyung taking small bites with a big pout, which appeared because of the scolding earlier.He couldn't help but smile at how cute his best friend looked.He has known Taehyung for so long and Taehyung is like a brother from another mother to him.By now, he understands Taehyung like the back of his hand.So he decided speak up -
"Tae, see, we both know Jungkook must has some reasons which made him that reserved.So you can't befriend him just like that.Didn't you tell me that he didn't voice out a single word the other day?"
Taehyung nodded his head with a serious expression.
"I know Jiminie.But how am I supposed to get close to him then?I'm just confused.I never fall for anyone in the past but Jungkook seems too precious to not fall for.I don't feel like sleeping with others anymore.I only want to be there for him, to care for his likes and dislikes, to let him know how much I've fallen for him.But I'll understand even if he rejects my feelings, I'll still want to be close to him, be there for him.......I just feel like..... like he needs someone to stand by his side !" Taehyung spoke while thinking hard.His words made Jimin smile his eye smile.He felt proud of how matured Taehyung sounded at the moment.
"Taehyung-ah, I think you should give the boy some time to trust you.Try to talk to him but don't expect any reply so soon.Just don't give up.No-one can resist your charm.After all, you're my best friend." Jimin's serious tone changed into a playful one towards the end, making the other roll his eyes with a smile.

Jungkook walked out of the classroom after attending the last class.He put his earbuds in and started walking out of the department building, looking downwards all the while.It's almost dark.Moreover, the weather is not at its best at the moment.Jungkook sighed thinking he should've brought the umbrella or the rain coat with him.Nonthless, he took steps towards his apartment.
Most of the times he walks to his university, not liking to use either his bike or his car.He has everything but he didn't have anyone to spend time with or I can say, kill time with.So walking is the best option for him.It takes him thirty minutes from his apartment to his college.Jungkook feels a bit refreshed while walking to the university and walking back to his apartment.He could see all the people in his surrounding, minding their own business.Even if he passes through a crowd, still the lonely feeling in his heart doesn't go away.In fact, it increases.He misses his old times which were just memories for him now!
Because of the weather, the streets were almost empty at that time and Jungkook shivered at some weird feelings.He felt like someone was following him.He didn't look back nor did he show that he was scared.He kept going.For the first time in life after his parents' death, he felt the need of someone....someone he could feel safe with!

"Tae, you said you'll buy pizza for our movie night." Jimin whined while Taehyung sheepishly smiled, rubbing his nape awkwardly.
"Sorry, Chim.Because of the weather I just rushed out of the university the moment my classes ended.It really slipped out of my brain.We can order it right?" Taehyung said.
"No you promised to bring pizza from the place we go sometimes. They sell the best pizza and you know that they don't do 'deliver at home'." Jimin looked at Taehyung with a disappointed look on his face.
"Ok ok...Jeez...I'll just go and come back.It's better than watching your dramatic ass anyways." Taehyung rolled his eyes at his dramatic friend and went out of their shared apartment after taking the wallet and his car keys.Since there won't be many people in the roads at this time, he wanted to take his favourite bike.But the weather said the opposite which is why he chose to use the car instead.The pizza place is not much away from their apartment.He is sure he can return within a half an hour.For now he just enjoyed his ride.The wind hitting his skin softly through the half rolled window glasses made him feel really refreshed.He smiled when he remembered Jungkook's face all of a sudden.It's nothing new to him these days.It's been months and he is thinking about the younger most of the times.He fell hard; didn't he?

Jungkook's eyes widened and his heart beat went fast when someone grabbed his wrist with a iron grip.His body shook in fear.
What if it's their man.But they don't know how do I look !
The thought itself made Jungkook shiver in fear.He remembered his parents' faces who were telling him to live and fulfill his dreams.May be, he won't be able to.....
"Never knew a pretty boy like you will roam around the empty streets alone at this time?" A groggy voice spoke up.
Jungkook gulped hard but managed to put on a straight face.He slowly turned around only to find a middle aged man with a disgusting smirk looking at him as I he was his last meal.Jungkook wanted to throw up, feeling disgusted by the look, the man was giving him.
"Were you waiting for daddy?hmm?" Thd man spoke up, eying Jungkook up and down.The man was reeking of alcohol.Jungkook scrunched his nose out of pure disgust.He wanted to punch the man and scream his heart out.But no sounds came out of his throat.He tried to break free from the grip on his wrist but this time, the man pulled him towards him.Jungkook tried hard to get away from the man which made him angry.The man started dragging Jungkook towards an alley, knowing no-one cam disturb him there.By now, Jungkook was getting trouble in breathing.His brain stopped working.He closed his eyes, remembering all the happy moments he spent with his parents.All he could think was, he would kill himself if the man touches him today!
Jungkook closed his eyes more tightly, taking a shaky breath when the man pushed him towards a wall.His tears started flowing non-stop without his knowledge.Jungkook has never felt this weak in his life.He was feeling pathetic who cannot even save their parents, their own dignity!

But the disgusting touch Jungkook was dying to get rid of, was never felt again.Instead a 'thud' sound following by a loud groan of pain is what caused Jungkook to open his eyes.The first thing he saw was that man, lying on the ground, almost passed out.
Jungkook took another shaky breath and slowly looked towards who saved him from getting.......
The moment he rose his eyes, he saw the male he bumped into in his university the other day, that popular male of their uni.His breath hitched when he saw how dark the boy's aura looked.He looked like he would kill someone right at that moment.He was still glaring daggers at the passed out man, not even sparing a look at Jungkook.
Jungkook flinched hard when the guy kicked the man's guts with so much force, making him cough out blood.He could see how the boy looked raged.Jungkook tried to control his breathing.He hates violence, he can't tolerate it.It makes him remember how they killed his parents, how they ruined their lives in just one night.A chocked sob left his mouth when he saw the unconscious man all bruised because of all the kicks he got from the popular male.
"D-d-don't......p-please...." Jungkook almost whispered which brought the raged male's attention to him.The boy widened his eyes when he saw Jungkook's state.He was sure that Jungkook was having a panick attack.
"JUNGKOOK !!"
Taehyung ran as fast as he could.He cursed himself for not noticing the boy's state earlier.
Before the boy's body could touch the ground, he held the unconcious boy in his arms securely.He carried the boy bridal style, glaring at the pedophile laying on the ground pathetically one last time.
Taehyung carried Jungkook to his car and opened the car door with so much difficulty.He layed Jungkook on the backseat and soon drove away to his and Jimin's apartment from that place, looking at the younger through the rare view mirror every now and then.....

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
