《Flashback {Toruka}》Flashback 17

Toru cracked his dark orbs and looked beyond; dark. Black is all he saw for what seemed like miles. In a wave of anxiety he walked rapidly searching for any sort of light. As he marched forwards, his fear increased dramatically with every step. Beads of sweat rolled down his flushed skin as he accelerated in pace. The blonde man started skipping steps unconsciously, almost ran midway.
Where am I??
The same question ran through his momentary frozen mind as he dashed forward through the dim place. At last, after an eternity of fear and sprints, his eyes landed on a bright square at the end of the tunnel. The forsaken guitarist hurtled towards the light and ran across it hoping to find refuge from the eerie place beyond, however, he found himself falling into a swirling abyss without a known bottom.
As his subconscious played tricks on him, Toru's sleeping figure started producing whimpers loud enough to wake up Taka who was lying right beside him, placing his head on the guitarist's chest which now held his racing heart. Immediately grasping the situation, Taka rised to his elbows and tried waking Toru up, who at that point was calling Taka's name with some tears forming at the edges of his squeezed lids.
Inside his dreamland, his nightmare at that, Toru has fallen into what looked like their beloved living room. He straightened his bulky figure and walked to the couch right away. There he found Taka, sinking in a pool of his own crimson blood. As if he was struck with a spell, Toru stood there rooted to the ground,tears cascading down his cheeks as ghosts swam in his pupils.He held the small figure tight and sobbed. Even though he very well knew it was a nightmare, he couldn't help but cry. His beloved, his soulmate.

Toru was drenched with Taka's blood at that point. He prayed for someone to wake him up, for something to throw him out of that creepy land he had fallen to.
......Toru
He looked down, it was Taka's voice, but the Taka in his arms was already motionless.
Toru
Again. He looked around and suddenly realized; Taka was calling him. The real Taka, his fiance back in their lovely bedroom, away from the hideous dreams he was experiencing.
"WAKE UP TORU" he heard Taka shout as his eyes fluttered open. Toru straightened his back and looked around, he was still in bed, still covered in the white blanket, still beside Taka. The shaken man was drenched in cold sweat when the vocalist tucked him in a tight embrace. "Don't worry" he said "it's just a dream" Taka patted Toru's back "I'm here" he soothed.
Toru closed his eyes, Taka's dying figure still vivid behind his lids. The sticky sensation of blood haunted him. What was the meaning behind all that? He asked himself as he burried his nose in Taka's neck and tightened his grip around his precious lover. Taka was still very much alive in his arms, still shone with colours of energetic souls. His body was warm, still raged with energy.
The soothing words Taka was murmuring finally broke the barrier of Toru's thoughts and spilled onto his mind. The older man felt Toru's muscles relax considerably before he pulled from the hug. Not far away though, only the minimum distance needed for him to look at Toru. He sighed in relief when he noticed the change in Toru's features. The crying sleeping figure was long gone now, his eyes showed serenity as he stared back at Taka.
"Are you feeling better now?" Taka wondered softly, swiping Toru's wet bangs from his forehead using his tender fingers. Toru merely nodded, before melting himself into Taka's arms again. The vocalist only smiled at the other's action, returning his man's cuddle. "Let's go back to sleep ok?" Toru hesitated, but before he could respond to Taka's proposal, the latter pursed the matter. "Don't worry, I won't let go" He indicated, clutching a little tighter at Toru's back. "I will never let you go, my love"

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
