《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.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
