Sounds of gasps and whispering were heard from the small crowd in front of me. Most likely because of how beat up I looked.
"Me and Fan have came to.. discuss something. About our beloved freind Paintbrush. As you may know, they recently disappeared.. and most of us assumed that they just.. may have died or left in total. I have other news.. t..too. Test tube.. Test tube is dead."
Fan looked miserable.
Everyone did.
That's when I noticed that.
That.
And thats when we heard an explosion.
Everyone started looking around, trembling, frozen, or just shocked in general.
"What was that-?"
"Were gonna die!"
"No were not."
"I smell fire!"
The hotel was blown up.
We had nowhere to go.
What..
What would we do?
Paintbrush did this.
I just know they did.
I JUST KNOW THEY DID.
And thats when i felt someone hold my arm.. aggressively.
"pai..ntbrush..?"
And then I heard a angry groan.
"No, shitlord. It's knife." He looked at me, annoyed.
"Oh thank- wait, how did you- get out-??"
"I decided to leave. I can't deal with this." He groaned. "What was that big bang, by the way?"
"The hotel."
"What?" He looked at me, confused and concerned, by the slightest.
"The hotel exploded. I.. I suspect bomb died. Nothing could explode except him. Am.. am I right?"
"Oh. Damn." He looked at me, clearly unhappy. "Im.. im gonna go talk to OJ."
"Al..Alright." I sighed, Watching him walk away. "Really hope paintbrush didn't hear that speech.. haha."
"Already did."
"Paintbrush just- leave me alone."
"Look, I wanted to say that.. that I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
"SORRY?! YOU- AHAHA- YOU RUINED ME PAINTBRUSH. YOU- YOU HURT ME- ABUSED ME BASICALLY- AND- YOU EXPECT ME TO ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY?!"

"I DIDNT WANT TO BE THIS WAY LIGHTBULB- I WISH I COULD HAVE STOPPED MYSELF BUT- I PHYSICALLY COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF!"

"I mean I didn't want to hurt you.. i.. I was forced. I didn't mean to.. i lost control. Literally. S-Similar to.. evil paper.. haha."
"Oh paintbrush.. im.. look. Are you t-truly sorry..?

(PAINTBRUSHES POV)

What an idiot. Really thinks she can trust me? After all this? All of the original paintbrush is gone. I'm just doing this so I can kill her off. Once everyone is gone.. He can come back.
"Paintbrush..?" Lightbulb looked at me. I do admit, I feel slightly bad.
"Yes?" I looked at them, and she looked back at me.
"Can.. I have a hug.. its random but- I've just.. ive.. ive.." She started to sob. What a wimp.
"I've missed you-" i hugged her tight. This.. this feels nice. Maybe.. maybe I can stop being.. no. Nono. I can't. I can't do that. I have to do it for him. He didn't hide himself for nothing.
No I won't.
I said I won't.
I don't want to.
I SAID I DONT WANT TO. IM NOT GOING TO HURT HER.
I care about her- ok? She trusts me. I'm. Not. Breaking. Her. Trust. Again.
NO YOU WONT. I- I WONT LET YOU.
"Paintbrush?" She tapped my arm.
"Are.. are you ok?" They looked at me, worried.
"Yeah. I'm ok lightbulb. I.. I'm sorry for all of this. I care about you.. dearly. Whatever happens.. know I'll always care about you. You mean.. so much to me."
She smiled at me and hugged me again. I won't hurt her.. if I can help it.

The Vagabond King
World peace isn’t as great as most thought it’d be. On the continent of Moravia, eight empires have united humanity into a coalition of kingdoms that killed the world’s gods and have sworn to uphold peace amongst mortals. But sorcerers prevail among the ruling class and the only way to subvert power is through duels and tournaments, which common people can never hope to win. Even the right to create an independent nation is locked behind a tournament. Mattiew and Adriana Nikoliades try their best to live a settled life as a former pirate and a runaway heiress. But despite their efforts, Adriana’s father inflicted his daughter with a debilitating curse that would end in her death. He threatens Mattiew to fight on his behalf against the world’s most powerful sorcerers and nobles in the Bellirex, a tournament that acts as the world’s pathway to kingship. But as a man without a drop of sorcerous blood, Mattiew has to get old partners in crime on board with a near-blasphemous lie. The young couple have to decide to either save themselves and hand a corrupt noble more power or stick to their principles and try to overthrow one of the most entrenched noble houses in the world. All before Mattiew gets turned to ash by the Sunkiller, a favorite to win the Bellirex, or Adriana's parents catch on to her conspiracy. New chapter everyday at midnight EST.

Molting the Mortal Coil
Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict. This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies. Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul. Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he'll turn to the dark side and end up a villain? Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey. It's not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There's also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It's more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building. It's still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won't pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better. I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after! Updates will be weekly.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
