《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 39: Hari Yang Ditunggu Telah Tiba
Advertisement
Setelah seminggu lamanya, hari yang dianti-nantikan telah tiba. Semua orang menyambutnya dengan meriah dan penuh suka cita. Namun berbeda denganku, aku malah masih khawatir akan perlombaanku nanti. Meskipun aku sudah latihan semampuku. Padahal cuman 4 kali aja sih lari paginya.
Sebelum perlombaan akan dimulai, kami semua berkumpul dilapangan untuk melakukan upaca pembukaan. Aku masih memikirkan perlombaan yang akan aku hadapi nanti, sehingga ku tak mendengarkan sambutan dari kepala sekolah mengenai ulang tahun disekolahku.
Hingga upacara pembukaan selesai. Sekarang waktunya perlombaan dimulai. Karena lapangan disekolahku tidak begitu besar, kamipun secara bergiliran dalam mengikuti semua perlombaan yang ada. Hal ini dikhususkan untuk perlombaan outdoor saja seperti Lari jarak pendek, dan Lari estafet. Untuk lomba Futsal, Volly dan Basket sudah ada lapangannya masing-masing dan dan dilaksanakan secara bersamaan. Begitupula untuk olahraga indoor dilakukan secara bersamaan juga.
Sekarang saatnya untuk lari jarak pendek. Aku merasa sedikit gugup. Namun, kuhilangkan perasaan tersebut dan fokus pada perlombaan dan menang. Kami semua sudah siap di posisi masing-masing.
"Bersedia... Siaaap... Mulai."
Bendera telah dikibarkan. Aku berusaha semaksimal mungkin dengan latihan dan teknik berlariku yang kupelajari di internet. Kuposisikan badanku tuk condong kedepan, kudorong lututku kedepan dengan kuat dan kuangkat dengan tinggi sehingga jangkauan langkahku lebih jauh, serta kuposisikan kaki dan tumitku dengan baik dan benar. Aku terus berlari dan memfokuskan diri dengan melihat garis finish yang tepat berada didepan mata.
Akhirnya aku telah mencapa garis finish. Aku langsung terduduk dengan posisi kaki lurus untuk merenggangkan otot kakiku. Aku tak memperdulikan aku berada diurutan keberapa, yang terpenting aku sudah berusaha sebaik mungkin. Lalu aku melentangkan tubuhku dalam posisi tidur. Tak berapa lama kemudian, Hani menghampiriku dan berkata sesuatu padaku.
"Wahh kamu hebat Di. Selamat ya."
Aku melihat kearahnya dengan satu mata kututp dengan lengan kananku. Lalu aku bertanya kepada Hani.
"Aku dapat di posisi berapa?"
Dia menjawabnya dengan nadanya yang gembira.
"Kamu masuk di posisi pertama."
Aku hanya diam dan tak mengeluarkan ekspresiapapun. Lathian dan teknik yang kupelajari ini tidak sia-sia. Dia mengulurkantangannya padaku. Namun aku menolaknya dan mengatakan bahwa aku masih ingintiduran disini. Dia hanya tersenyum dan melambaikan tangan kepadaku. Dankubalas lambaian tangannya tersebut. Aku kembali mengistirahatkan tubuhkudengan posisi terlentang sembari mengatur nafasku agar lebih stabil. Setelahkurasa kondisiku sudah lebih baik, aku langsung menuju dibangku penonton danmelihat lari estafet khusus laki-laki akan bersiap-siap.

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

Magic is a dangerous tool, wielded by Soulblades. They are necessary for the survival of humanity, but when an uncontrolled Soulblade can potentially destroy entire cities by accident, it only makes sense that heavy regulations are put in place to prevent such accidents.

Darian is a king who only wants his people to thrive under his rule. Kara is a Soulblade Guardian, burdened with the responsibility of exterminating any Soulblades who fall out of line.

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!

Challenged Dungeon and the Arrival of Mana
One day, a few spirits drifting through the astral plane discover Earth and decide to create dungeons to bridge the gap between worlds, and eventually make themselves the gods of Earth. After being created, Three has the misfortune of falling through a grate in an alley in New York City and making that its entrance. Suddenly propelled to sizes much larger than an infant dungeon should be it becomes the frontrunner of all its sibling dungeons, yet faces problems initially attracting creatures. Three's problems only worsen over time as its demanding and seemingly capricious creator gradually strips away its ability to be a true dungeon while compelling it to reach a nearly impossible goal: conquer all humans. Also follow Stan, the alcholic veteran cop and his pet cat Ms. Winters as they get embroiled into the arrival of dungeons and mana. I have most of the story mapped out, but it can still use some work, my goal is to release at least a chapter a week until I am finished. I would greatly appreciate any help proofreading or editing, and advice is always appreciated. UPDATE School caught up with me back then and I lost the thread, so this is now (definitely) dropped, sorry all, maybe I'll get back to it one day.
