《Kita Shinsuke》Chapter 25
Advertisement
When Kita started crying, I wasn't sure what to do. He had been there with Y/N when it happened, now they're in a hospital bed and Kita's crying. I would've asked them to help tell him it'd be fine but...
Now I couldn't even see them, I'm not even sure what happened. I slowly went to take out my phone to call Phil. I tapped on the screen hesitantly dialing his number.
I held the phone to my ear and listened to the beeping that came every second. "Hello! Atsumu, this is rare you never call me." He sounded happy. "Usually that's Y/N." He laughed into the phone.
I regret calling. I took the phone away from my ear and handed it to Osamu. Normally I like talking to Phil but right now I just couldn't. Osamu stared at the phone before finally taking it. A conversation started up quickly after that.
I sat down beside Kita who was still staring into his palms. Should I pat his back? Should I tell him it's gonna be ok? What do I do? What do I do? Oh god...
"Thank you Phil." I could hear Osamu say. As soon as the phone call ended the halls went silent again. After a small while of the silence Osamu started to talk again. "Phil's on his way now. He'll be here soon enough." He said.
"Good." I muttered. For a second I thought we were going to go back into that awkward silence but thankfully lots of surgeons and nurses came running through the halls. Some running out of Y/N's room others running in.
I couldn't make out to much of what they were saying but I think I heard one of them say 'they're awake.' I think Kita heard it as well because he was no longer looking down.

The three of us watched as the surgeons and nurses ran around although none of them seemed to be distressed. That's a good sign, right?
The commotion continued for around 20 minutes until the nurses and surgeons stopped rushing. Everything was relaxed now, no more running or shouting. It wasn't exactly silent but it was quiet enough.
Eventually Phil came by rushing through the entrance, frantically looking around for us. Once he had spotted us he came sprinting over. His was average size and not too fat, around 60 years old. He was practically bald but the few patches of hair were grey. he had a mustache as well.
"Atsumu! Osamu!" He stopped to look at Kita but then started running again. "And other kid.." He called not knowing Kita's name. "What's going on?" He finally made it to our seats and looked down at us.
He immediately looked around for Y/N, who he would've liked to see at that moment. "Where's... Y/N?" He asked quietly still searching for them. "In there." Kita pointed to their room.
That was real blunt, even for you Kita. "What?!" He yelled. "Calm down, calm down." Osamu got up and put his arms between Kita and Phil. "Just sit down, we're still figuring it out.." Osamu whispered.
Phil slowly sat down beside Osamu and Osamu started to explain what happened from our point of view. About her arms, the problem and what Kita said. "I'm sorry for assuming..." Phil apologised to Kita quickly after hearing what had happened.
"Hm?" Kita looked over to the man before quickly looking back to the door. "I'm going to... Get some air." Kita said standing up. "I'll go wit-." I started. "No." He said before walking off.

I watched as Kita disappeared from my sights, he was walking so quickly that it was only a few seconds. "Is he always like that?" Phil asked quietly. "No..." I answered. "He's never like that." Osamu continued.
I walked through the halls of the hospital, originally I had planned to walk out the main door but after storming off in this direction, it'd be better to walk out the side door.
I'm not actually sure why I even stormed off in the first place. Maybe I just needed a break, a breath. I opened the side door and walked out of the hospital into the car park. It was chilly outside, I could see my breath like a cloud of smoke.
At that time lots of other things could've filled my mind but all that I could think of was Y/N's blood covered body.
It sent shivers down my spine to think of it but I just couldn't stop. In the back of my mind something was telling me it wasn't my fault but that thought was overrun by my self doubt.
I mean what else could've caused it, I probably tied their bandages to tight and then the blood stopping running through their body. Or maybe they aren't allowed to eat that sort of rice, or it was the bowl I used.
I obviously did something wrong, maybe it was my top. I was trying a new cleaner, maybe something in it was toxic. But then again if I hadn't done something their arms would've got worse and-
Oh yeah, they started squeezing their arms because of me. Each positive thing that came to mind was shut down by something that I had done.
If I had noticed that they weren't eating maybe they would be a bit better. If I noticed that they were being bullied maybe they would be a bit better. If I noticed that they were cutting they would be a lot better. The only conclusion was that it's my fault.
It's my fault.

Tower of Babel: Speedrunner
Launch day. That was what they called it. The day when over four million people vanished in an instant from the island of Manhattan. The day earthquakes ravaged the east coast. The day a one hundred and one kilometer tall tower rose from the wreckage of the now empty city. The day every screen, newspaper, and smart phone displayed a single message from an unknown source: The Great Emperor has issued his challenge. From the ruins of the Old World rise the Tower. Its doors will soon open, and the great game will begin. A hundred floors and a hundred challenges await the worthy. And to the victor? A Wish of Unlimited Power. Cayden Caros yearned to play that game. His only problem? The Terms and Conditions. A strict set of rules that, among other things, prevented anyone under the age of sixteen from entering the tower. Forced to wait for over two years, Cayden did the only thing he could do to pass the time. He researched, he practiced and he prepared. It would take a lot to catch up to players with such an enormous head start. Lucky for him, he was a special type of gamer. A SpeedRunner So.... It has been a hot minute. I don't like talking about my personal life, but suffice to say I had some fairly bad times for the last couple of years and have only just recently pulled myself back to good health, physically and mentally. I have a very supportive partner, and am put together enough that I want to get back to doing what I love. Writing nerd fiction that I am too embarassed to try to explain when people inevitably ask what my books are about. Still beats when I used to write erotica. Story updates for book 3 should be on a daily schedule, baring unforseen circumstances. The majority of chapters from books one and two have been pulled down to keep with amazon's KU rules. Book one is found here. Book two is found here. If you like the story, please comment or favorite. Each comment goes a long way towards pushing visibility for the story, which means more people get to see it and I feel slightly more validated as a writer. I have a discord now where you can ask me things and I can be like 'no. no. I'm not answering that. no."

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.
