《Crazy》14: Numb
Advertisement
I had cried myself to sleep that night. I felt empty by the time I was done. I had screamed several times into the thin blanket I had.
I wanted to throw a tantrum because of how damn upset I was. But I wouldn't. I was too drained and that wouldn't make my dad appear magically.
Eventually I fell asleep by some miracle. All that sleep brought me was nightmares, no rest. I woke up maybe a few hours after I'd managed to fall asleep and that was only because of the locks turning.
He's here.
I didn't feel sad. Mad. Or anything. I felt numb.
I felt like a shell. I couldn't find the rest of me.
He walked in and saw me sitting. My face must've gave away how tired I am because he cringed at how ugly I looked.
"You look hideous." He left the tray on the bed and looked at me.
"You're just as ugly if not more." I said back. My voice was monotone.
"Watch what you're saying, scrap." What kind of fuçking name was scrap!
I looked up at him, meeting his eyes.
"What are you going to do? Kill me?" A dry laugh left my mouth. "Be my guest."
His hands clenched into fists on either side of him.
"You don't think I will?" his voice was a warning. Telling me to stop before he didn't something he wouldn't regret.
I shook my head. Another dry laugh leaving me.
"No that's the thing. I know you will. I'm just giving you my permission to finish me off." I looked around the room. I would not miss this room at all once he killed me.
"I don't need your permission." I rolled my eyes, does he not get I just want this to end.

"Just fuçking kill me already." I groaned. He was annoying.
"No." His harsh voice invaded my ears. "I'm not going to kill you because I haven't gotten what I wanted yet." With that he turned around and headed for the door.
"Well then what fuçk do you want from me?" My eyes followed his every move.
"Wouldn't you like to know." He smirked before closing the door and I once again heard the locks turning.
Well if he wasn't going to do it, then I should right?
Suddenly someone came out of the bathroom, it wasn't just anybody, it was me. But not me now, me from the past. 92 days ago to be exact.
"Don't let him get to you." She spoke.
"Am I going fûcking crazy?" I looked around the room to see if there was any other people going to appear.
"Well how do you think I got here?"
"Uber?" I suggested. She laughed and my heart clenched.
I can't remember the last time I laughed. The last time I'd heard my own sincere laugh.
"Dad is looking for you, you know that." She wasn't asking. She was me she knew that was true therefore I knew.
"But he hasn't found me." I looked down at my wrists, looking for a vein. A thick one preferably.
"Don't you dare!" She came storming towards me and sat on the other side of the bed.
"He's not worth it, don't do it."
I looked at the small plastic fork on the tray.
"Sorry." I told myself before reaching for the fork.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

You know how this goes; a new Dungeon wakes up, starts conjuring their first minions, and ultimately grows into a sprawling complex that adventurers gleefully plunder for treasure and experience points.

If the newly-minted Titan wishes to survive and thrive the situation they've found themselves in, they're going to need every single advantage they can scrounge up. This story is completed.
