《Drowning is a Relief》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Bubbles looked around her, scared that Jack would pounce out from anywhere.
Boomer seemed off, he seemed more carefree, and looked a bit better than his teenage year one might say.
She wanted to run.
But what if he found her.
Boomer, help me.
'Bitch I fucking saw you! You were with another guy! So I'm not good enough for you now?' Jack yelled at her loudly, spitting in her face.
'N-no.' Bubbles whimpered, in the corner of the little room.
'Why don't you run away you disgusting whore. I should've known you were like this. I gave you everything. And what do I get? This?' He asked, inching towards her as she desperately wanted to dig a hole and just leave this.
'It's not like that.' She said, continue standing up. She had to. To get herself out of this.
A red hand print swelled from her left cheek. Tears were rolling down her face. Constant blubbering faced with endless shouting.
'It's not like that!'
'I'm sorry!'
'I'll never do it again!'
This is for now, she won't give up just yet.
'I promise I won't.' Another whisper.
'You do?' The alcoholic breath intoxicated her.
'I swear.'
'Good Girlie.'
She looked down at her hands, where was her strength when she need it.
'Where is she?' Boomer asked one of the IT people, click clacking away at a computer.
'Umm, here, let me zoom in to show you.' The woman said, clicking into the biggest mansion out of the area.
Dawing Mansion.
She was there.
She was at the mercy of the monster.
He had to save her.
He had to be the knight in shining armour, who had to save the princess from the evil wizard before they could be together.

First things first.
He needed to talk to Bubbles, convince her to run. As far as possible.
The next day, he was patrolling in her area again, but at the park so no one would see them, especially the person he knew would be prying on Bubbles' whereabouts.
There Bubbles was, feeding the pigeons on a park bench. She giggled as a bird flew up to catch the bit of bread she tossed.
Cute.
'Hey Bubbles.' Boomer said, trying not to scare her off. He had to admit, his previous approach was a bit scary, when he cane to think of it.
She ignored him, as if she didn't hear anything, focusing on the birds.
'Bubbles?' Boomer waved his hand in front her eyes.
She flinched, but said nothing. Why was she doing this?
She stood up abruptly, leaving the bench and the bread she was feeding the pigeons, she set out for the nearby town.
'Bubs what the he-' He trembled, what the actual fuck? She was still fine before.
He jogged over to her, and called out to her. 'Bubbles! I really need to talk to you, if you'd just stand still so I can talk to you I-' her eyes darted from his face to the direction of the town. She turned and kept walking.
'Bubbles.' He said again.
'Boomer stop.' Bubbles said, she didn't want him to stop, she's lying, he could see it in her eyes. 'I'm serious, I can't talk to you. Or else... I've said too much, sorry.' She begged.
He looked up, at the houses and mansions that surrounded them.
She's scared he'll see her.
He also caught sight of the swelling on her left cheek. He hit her.
The motherfucking guy actually hit her. Of course he knew he did, after that medical report's feedback. Now that he actually could see, he seemed to be more taken aback. It shocked him, what guy would hit such an angel.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

Death Cultivator (Cultivator in Another World Vol. I & II)
Fight for your Soul. New cultivator Grady Hake thought his problems would disappear when he became a member of the strongest gang on the prison planet, but all it did was thrust him into the kill-or-be-killed world of the Eight-Legged Dragons. Now if he wants to survive, he’ll have to learn to cloak his deadly Spirit attacks in shadow, control the ancient revenant trying to take over his mind, and defeat the Angel of Death who dropped him on Van Diemann in the first place. Death Cultivator is sci-fi / isekai / wuxia / western / whatever, sort of like Borderlands meets Hunter x Hunter. I wanted to write something entertaining and actiony with that shonen vibe, so here's hoping this hits the spot. Warning: This isn't an isekai where the MC immediately becomes OP and starts revenge-killing everyone once he gets Death powers. Death is coming, but it's a slow burn. Like some of the reviewers for Volume I mentioned, the MC has a past and it effects his actions and choices in the new world.
