《Sweet Child of Chaos》In the company of killers
Advertisement
Rotten blood fell from his slitted veins as he failed to stare at the demonic duo which had calmly inflicted minimal wounds upon his skin.
Multiple 'K's were carved oh so deeply, making sure that not even magic would be enough to get rid of the scars left behind.
Killing him would be easy, Kisa had said and Kai had trusted completely in every single syllabus that fell from her lips.
The same ones that would tell sins to many, but wouldn't dare ever lie to him.
She promised him the best revenge he could ever have and he trusted her completely. Kisa had never failed him before.
So they took their time with Joshua Parker, carving his skin as if he was marble, using him as a canvas of rebellion, sorrow and anguish.
Making sure that whenever his dark blue eyes, that would never shine as brightly as Kai's, met his reflection on the mirror that he loved dearly like the narcissist bastard he was, he would forever remember the events of night.
But that wasn't enough for the demonic duo, it wasn't enough for the years of torture he had caused his first born.
It wasn't enough for the years of resentment.
So Kisa had a little something else hidden under her sleeves and she would enjoy teaching the Petrova specialty to Amara.
Kisa called out for Amara, who was sat upon a table while swinging her feet back and forth as she waited for Kisa and Kai.
Amara's head snapped up at the affectionate nickname, smiling shyly, knowing that Kisa wouldn't call Katherine that and that she only referred to Kai as 'Her Angel', which meant that the other Petrova was talking to her.
The brunette slowly dropped from the table and skipped to her new sister, eyes wide in curiosity although keeping herself behind Kisa as if to not interrupt in anything.

Katerina perked up at the words coming from her twin sister, a frown immediately replacing her annoyed features once she noticed the familiar history.
Joshua paled as he listened to the familiar story, it was one he wished to be a myth, to continue being simply a bed story to keep witches in line, this reaction only caused Kai to listen with more interest while Amara held onto every single word carefully.
Kisa's lips curled up slightly, hickory eyes flashing with deep knowledge as her fingers traced up on Amara's arm, moving them with hers.
The fluidity of the movements within the slow pace made it look like a dance, carefully thought over as the wiser brunette whispered the archaic words and her copy followed suit.
Kai watched mesmerized as the look alikes moved in complete synchrony, a sweet smile dancing on Amara's plump lips, cheeks slightly reddened and tanned skin reflecting the gold of the sun.
His demon conducting her movements expertly, fluid like water running down its course, hickory eyes reflecting her soul, understanding, calm yet full of the unknown.
She remained in the shadows and let the golden sun bath her human clone, even if she could stand underneath the sunlight, it was as if she was made for the darkness as was Amara for the light.
The last word was whispered and the beautiful dance was replaced by excruciating screams of pain, the magic which once habited Joshua's body fought against him, trying to break free and return to the earth.
Katerina whispered to herself, still unable to wrap her mind around the evens.
Kisa said as she looked down at the man crawling on the ground.
Her eyes held nothing but disgust.
He spat as he tried to stand up, only to stumble on his own feet and fall back, too weak to stand.

Kai questioned grinning, before he bit his lower lip and shook his head.
Snorting, Kai tilted his head to the side as he concentrated on the spell he was about to perform, couldn't have lil old Joshua getting the easy way out by killing himself just now right?
Some nightmares implanted on his brain and he was good to go.
Katerina left before the group, deciding to wait by the car while Kisa and Kai got changed into something less... bloodier.
Amara being Amara didn't mind waiting for the duo, leaving Kai to walk in between the two copies with one arm around Kisa's shoulder and the other around Amara's waist.
A giant grin on his face.
Kisa told him softly, sending him a rare real smile, his ears turned red and he turned his face to the other side, looking at Amara who looking down at the ground as she tried to avoid stepping on a body.
Amara grinned up at him, her cheeks blushing furiously as she jumped excited
Kisa said calmly, a small smile playing on her lips while Amara nodded rapidly.
And the three musketeers stopped walking as they saw a very similar looking girl standing beside Katherine in a very heated argument.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

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/
