《The Victims⦻》6. The Barrier Is Breaking
Advertisement
For those of you who want to know more about the following events, refer to my first entry here. I am quite familiar with the subject of Slenderman, as he has recently become an interest of mine. Recently meaning before this first incident. I've watched the marble hornet videos and I have researched him on plenty of websites, but I always kept the context that he was a fake myth made on the internet for a good scare. Not anymore. This incident and the events I am about to post below have shifted my opinion on what this thing really is.
I went over to my friend's place around 9:30 this night to hang out eat and play cards. After we had played a couple games we were all feeling pretty hungry, so I volunteered to go fetch us some dinner. I just filled up my tank and I like being the courteous one of the group. After I left the apartment complex I thought I saw someone standing by our door. It looked like my friend Eric (name changed for anonymity reasons) so I just waved and went on my way.
About a mile down the road, My car suddenly felt extremely cold. This didn't surprise me too much as the air outside was freezing and the temperature setting on my a/c was in the blue zone. I turned it to just slightly in the red zone and kept going. Not one minute later I suddenly felt the chill again. I checked the temperature. Still in the red zone. My care was blasting cold air. I shut the fans off and the air kept blasting. Luckily I was near the restaurant and wouldn't have to suffer through this for long.
I made it the the restaurant and got out quickly. I was facing the car as I was backing out of the car and I bumped into someone. I jerked around only to find an empty parking space. I brushed off the chill this gave me and went to get the food. I got the food no problem. As I was collecting the food, I looked out the window and saw this shape next to my car. I got very angry, thinking it was a car thief. I went running out the door trying to drive him off. I'm a fairly tough looking guy, despite me not being to tall, but If you saw me charging at you, you would have know it wouldn't be an easy fight. As soon as I crossed the door's threshold however, the shape was gone. At this point, I was extremely on edge.

The car's a/c was finally functioning normally when I got back in, but the entire ride back I couldn't help but feel watched. But nothing happened for the rest of the night I spent at my friend's place.
Finally, around 1 AM I decided it was time for me to head back to my dorm and get some sleep. Right across the street from the apartment complex my friend lives in is an old radio tower, fenced off for danger/vandalizing purposes. As I was pulling out, I thought I saw someone on the other side of the fence. It was a left turn back to my dorms so I was able to pull out farther and get a better look at the guy. When the lights hit the shape, I instantly wished I hadn't gotten a better look.
It was a tall skinny man in a reservoir dogs/men in black style business suit. He looked at least 6 feet tall, probably more. Very pale skin. I could tell his skin was pale because there were absolutely no facial features to distort or shade his skin tone. Even with no face, I could feel that thing's "eyes" or however it perceived the world piercing me as I turned left. I sped up as soon as I was in the right lane and hurried off.
There is an underpass right before the turn onto my campus and I was just reaching it a few minutes later. At this point, I was twitching my head left and right, constantly on the look out for that thing. Then I saw it. Between the two roads passing over me I saw a towering figure. The headlights of the cars above flashed constantly on that thing's blank canvas of a face. I could see it's head turning to follow my car as I passed. Again I sped off and got back on campus.

I finally made it to the hall my room is on. I swiped my key card to get into the hall and I felt a chill rush onto me from down the hall. I got extremely nervous instantly and began power walking to my room. Suddenly, just as I turned the corner of the hall, I see a black skinny blur come right at my face. The sting of cloth rubbed roughly against my face as I was knocked to the floor. I panicked at hopped up as fast as I could to see what did it. Nothing. I spun around completely to get a full view of the hall. Still nothing. I began power walking again. As I'm opening my room, I felt a hard shove and I flew into my room and hit hard tile floor. I slowly turned around and saw that tall dark silhouette right outside my door. Then the door shut quickly and loudly in front of me and I crawled desperately back into my room.
It's been almost 3 hours since this occurred. I'm shaking so badly right now. I've been researching Slenderman and have not yet found anything on getting him to stop stalking you. I know you guys are familiar with these stories. If you have any advice on how to rid myself of this creature, please tell me. I probably won't sleep tonight. I don't want to. I'm afraid I'll dream of him, which happens very closely to the time of a victim's disappearance. I also don't want to give this thing a chance to be near me when I'm vulnerable. Please help. I'm desperate.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
