《demon slayer ; dejected》[ Tanjiro x Reader ]

She lies in the hospital's bed, on the crisp but thinning sheets. A curtain hangs limply on the chrome railing, looking like it's been washed a thousand times. With her eyes fixated on the ceiling. All she could hear was the heart rate monitor beeping.
Suddenly she hears the wooden door creak open. Letting Tanjiro walk into the room with ease.
"How are you doing?" He asks with a sad expression on his tanned face. But she doesn't reply.
Tanjiro rests his hand on hers, feeling the coldness in her fingers. The girl intervenes them with his. "Better" She mumbles, loud enough for the boy to hear.
A relieved chuckle escapes his lips.
"I'm glad. I thought I lost you there. That feeling I felt when I saw that demon grab you..." He whispers the last part, with pain covering his kind eyes.
"I'm sorry..."
Her eyes shifted to the side and became glazed with a glossy layer of tears. As she blinked, they dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks. "These days the word sorry is so meaningless and overused." She spoke sadly.
His heart sank at the sight of her. The happy girl he knew and loved... Was balling her eyes out, and it's his fault.
"I'm guessing the doctor hasn't told you anything yet." She let out a cold murmur.
"What do you mean?" he asked, trying to stay still.
The girl beamed, making him even more apprehensive. "Tanjiro, I'm glad I met you. I'm glad I get to see your face last."
"What do you mean?" He quickly stood up, placing his hands neatly on her cheeks.
Her thoughts were blank. What a strange occurrence. Normally her thoughts were bending and turning; strangling her with their buzzes.

Her hand reached his forehead slowly. Touching it gently as he looked into her eyes. They were pleading for an answer. He felt lost and confused.
"I'm sorry, I wish I could've spent more time with you."
Her cold hand fell on the bedsheet.
Tanjiro tried to stay calm as his eyes looked at the girls' face. She wasn't moving. The heart rate monitor let out a long beep.
His eyes widened, the color drained from his face. And the velvet box fell out of his pocket.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

The End of Disappointment
What happens when the hero's journey ends with disappointment instead of happily ever after? Ghost. Butcher. Murderer. Some men attract names like flies, and Ryu Ishida unfortunately finds himself among their number. Once the son of a noble house, he knows firsthand what the quest for power in the world of the Rings can do to a man’s mind, yet he can only continue down the bloody path he started long ago, hoping that at its finish, he’ll find the end to his disappointment. Four hundred years after a portion of humanity was ripped from Earth and thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and swords, whatever cruel gods rule the Rings are stirring once more, and with them comes the chaos of progress. Monsters roam the land. Corruption breeds unchecked. Murderers slay their way to the heights of power. Ryu’s life could only be described as disappointing. Updates: 2-3 times a week. *Author Note: This story does not continue with the paint by the numbers Class LitRPG system for long, so while it technically is LitRPG, it is definitely on the less traditional side (or so I hope). Also, the cover art isn't mine.
