《Shades Of Red | RaNnett》Part 9: Under the Tree
Advertisement
'Bye... Bennett.' 'I'll... be alright... Ra... zor...' 'Oh. Bennett go Good Hunter. Cathedral. Out.' 'Oh... okay...' Those were the last words we said before parting, I wonder why he wanted me to go there, probably to make me explain my cuts. *sigh* Typical Razor, always caring a little too much about others, and not letting them go until he's sure that they'll be 100% safe.
Can't believe I actually thought I had a chance with such a caring, loving, innocent, and perfect wolf boy. I really am oblivious. Knowing my luck, anyone who I might like would end up hating me. At least, Razor isn't leaving me, yet.
"BENNETT!" a pair of arms wrap me in a firm hug. "Ra- Razor, hi. Umm... could you like, not hug me that tight, its kinda hard to breathe and-" As he let go, a kid ran past us which took me by surprise and I started to fall.
My head was a grain of sand away from the floor when I was caught by Razor, we locked eyes for a moment, and I quickly turned my head around. "Thanks, Razor." My face started to heat up, 'Not the time, snap out of it,' I thought, trying to go back to reality.
"So, why did you wanna come here?" I asked trying to break the tension. Razor led me to a seat and asked, "Order?" I was shocked by this, as the wolf boy, he would normally avoid contact with others, what happened to him? "Razor?" "Yes?" "Do you have a... fever?" I was genuinely concerned, I put my palm on his forehead, checking if his temperature was normal, he was fine but I could swear I saw him blush.
"I'll do the ordering, Razor. The usual?" "O- okay." His voice trailed off at the end, he seemed s- sad? Disappointed? Yeah, he's acting weird. I got our food and placed it on our table, a plate of Matatsuke Meat Rolls for Razor, and a Sweet Madame for me. "Dig in," I said, and immediately Razor devours the meat rolls one by one. I let out a small chuckle before eating my own food.

It was a normal lunch together, just like the thousands upon thousands we'd had together. Razor led me out the Mondstadt gates, we passed by Timmy, and I had to remind Razor not to pounce on the pigeons, I'd told him many times but sometimes he forgets so it's best to be sure.
At nightfall, we were under the giant tree at Windrise, the crystalflies lit up the canopy of the tree, while the moonlight danced across the night sky. "You know, the Mondstadt lights still seem pretty, even from this distance." I turned my head to see a distracted and very much red Razor.
"Razor... are you-" "Bennett..." he cut me off, "Razor want tell something." "I'm listening," I replied, confused. But it became clear once he continued his words. He put one foot on the ground, and a knee on the floor, kneeling. He took out a piece of paper and showed it to me, the title read 'Colors', but what caught my attention was the section that read 'Red'.
"Bennett, Razor did homework, end up writing Bennett, make Razor realize, Razor very very very lucky Bennett friend, Razor like Bennett, more than friend, Razor... love Bennett. Can... Bennett and Razor... boyfriend?"
He gasped for air, he usually didn't talk much, while I was lost for words, I thought he was with Fischl, guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions. Tears formed in my eyes, I cried, I cried in happiness, but my thoughts flooded in.
'You love him, he loves you, go for it!' 'He'll end up leaving you anyway, your luck would ruin everything anyway.' 'He's perfect, why turn him down?' 'You don't deserve such a perfect person.' 'Shut up.'
"Razor..." tears continued to slowly roll off my chin, hitting the ground, "you... don't have to do this, faking that you love me, just so I can be happy." "But... Razor feelings, real. Razor real love Bennett." "R- Really?"

I suddenly felt lips meet mine, it felt great, the heat of my face and the heat of the moment encouraged me to go with it, and so... I did. I didn't pull back, I wanted it for so long, and I finally had it in my hands. Razor stopped, "Razor love, real."
He put his hands on mine, and time stopped. He slowly pulled me closer, staring at my eyes and I stared back. The wind lifted his long ash-grey hair, uncovering his face. His face looked beautiful when it reflected the dim moonlight, if only I had a Kamera.
He leaned in for another kiss, "Boyfriend?" "I would love to."

8 160Thorns of Jade [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG Adventure]
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Solo Leveling meets Chainsaw Man in this fun new LitRPG Series To become the king of Kissen, Noah Hearts trains to become the strongest swordsman in the world. The only problem — he can’t use Aura at all! Everything changes when he’s left for dead in a forest on the Kissen Fields… In a world where horrific creatures known as “demons” terrorize mankind, those who wield the mysterious force known as “aura” are the only ones who can fight them. These fighters call themselves the “Wolves of Haven”, and strive to create a world where demons no longer roam their lands! Though Noah Hearts is an exceptional swordfighter for a young man, his total inability to use aura means he could never hope to defeat the demons! Despite this major setback, he still hopes to become the king of Kissen and create a better world for those in his country! As he walks home from his daily training, his world is shifted upside down when he sees a few familiar faces in his home… This is the first draft of what I want to be a 9 volume series. I'll be editing, rewriting, and releasing the volumes on Amazon once they're finished. I'll admit, I'm finishing chapters in sprints because I want to participate in the writathon (Apr. 2022) so I apologize if there are some issues with the prose. Point them out to me and I'll fix them! Anyway, I have no backlog, but I plan on uploading chapters as I finish them. I don't want to spend weeks re-editing and never publishing like I used to, so I'm just gonna post when it's done. Like I said, this story is my take on a mix between solo leveling and chainsaw man. Specifically, the MC is the only one that can consciously level up (sort of), and the plot is fast paced and emotional just like chainsaw man. There are plenty of other inspirations, like HxH, Jojo, JJK, Cradle, and even FF6, but the first two are the biggest. Basically, if you don't like Shounen stuff, this probably isn't the story for you. Regardless, I hope you all like the story!
8 194I Am Not A Humanity's Traitor (Isekai LitRPG)
Ren is a reincarnated person. His new world had the same name as his old one, Earth. But that was the extent of the resemblances. Ren has a skill as well, or at least he was told he did, but he had no inkling of how to use it. He was disheartened at first but his goal wasn't the path to power, all he wanted from this world was to continue the peaceful life, but the world didn't even provide him with that. A luminous pillar descended upon him and one of his classmates. Goddess Helastia, one of the most revered goddess, called them to herself, probably not a good news. However, there, he finds that a group of heroes has been summoned from his past world to confront the Devils that will be rising soon. But contrary to his assumption of being a hero himself, she referred to him as a reincarnated imposter. She labeled both of them as Humanity's Traitors and sends them into a dungeon where they were supposed to live. That is, with their masters and comrades, the Devils and their minions. The monsters in the dungeon were not likely to accept them as allies, instead, they were out to devour the delicacies that appeared in their home. Only despair awaited them. ---------------------------------------------------------- This novel is inspired from Neets's parallel world syndrome, Abnormal state skill and bunch of other jp novels, this is also my first time writing a web novel. Also English isn't my native language, so, sorry in advance. The pic in the cover is taken from pixabay and edited by me.
8 130For the Hoard
Ergo the dragon is enjoying his seasonal hibernation when human explorers from another world invade his lair. Sucked into an unknown land, and reduced to a fledgling dragon by the loss of his hoard; Ergo must struggle to survive in a world that has been utterly subjugated by humanity. More importantly, will he ever get to finish his hibernation!? note: while I ticked the boxes for sexual/traumatizing content, I mostly did that to keep my options open. I don't currently have any planned, nor do I expect it to be a significant part of the story. After all, the main character is literally a dragon.
