《The Forgotten Four [Completed]》17

Venkat's ( Venky ) pov
It has been a week now in our old house. It feels good to relive in the house where I grew up in
Most of the time dad give glares to me
Mum wants to talk to me but is controlling herself but still takes care of me just like how she used to do when I used to live in this house.
Aana is scared of us. It breaks my heart that she has an image of a monster for me and her brothers.
But this isn't it, I'll change her view towards me. I'll make myself clear, I wanna be her hero, not a terrifying monster who's gonna eat her if she's left alone with me
It wasn't easy for me to leave the house where I spent total 18 years of my life
After 3 younger brothers I finally got a baby sister. Having a sister was always in my imagination, but it came true when I was 13 and Mum and dad had a baby girl
It is so sad that even if I've spent five years of my life with Aana, still she doesn't remember the nights when I used to sing for her, read for her and cuddle with her.
She just doesn't remember the morning when I used to play with her. She doesn't remember when I punched a guy when he tried to take her candy away when she was 3. She just doesn't remember
She was five when I had to leave, when dad told me that if I had to do anything else but engineering, then I have to leave, and that's what I did, I left
I've lost 10 years of Aana's life, 10 years of memories which I could have made if I had not made the decision to leave the house and start a totally different life and a new life style

But It was a need to leave my house. The need to follow my passion and dream, which wasn't possible under the roof of my father as he wanted me to become an engineer
Engineering is great, great for the people who want to do it with their heart and not under the pressure of their family
One day, the 21 year old me who was having a nice late night dinner when a knock on my door got me startled.
Robbie and Rayan come to me with their luggages with red puffy eyes. They had left their house because of the same reason, they wanted to do architecture but again dad wanted them to do engineering.
I happily accept them in my house and supported with what they had wanted to do.
Same happened with Ishan, our youngest brother. He was always a fan of photography. We happily accepted him in our house.
He used to cry for days because he missed Aana so much, his bestfriend.
Ishan felt like he had betrayed Aana. But dad didn't let us even go near Aana, and that is why we had always failed to talk to her, and never got to clear the misunderstandings
Even if I'm the CEO of a packaging industry, I'm not 100% happy. Whom am I earning for? For my family. But are they getting a full of it? No, they're not
At the age of 22, I fell in love with a girl name Rose. We had became a strong couple within 6-7 months with an unbreakable bond
Then, when I was 23, the most beautiful thing happened to me. I had a baby girl, Rose was pregnant with my baby. We were so happy, my brothers were so happy to have a niece.
We kept her name Lucky because she's the lucky charm for me, for us. I made a huge progress in my business within two months after Luck was born

But everything crumpled down when suddenly one night, Rose died because of a heart stroke. It broke my heart and all my strength.
But I slowly and steadily I got over that incident and now I don't really talk about Rose as it breaks my heart
I wanted a mother figure for Luck, Mum used to sneak out without dad knowing and come to my house and take care of Lucky, which I was so thankful of
Still, it's overwhelming to see how close my two precious babies are. Aana and Lucky are already like sisters. The way Aana takes care of Luck is amazing, I had to give no extra efforts for their relationship. It was a good sigh for us for a new start
Ashton, Aana's boyfriend. Her having a boyfriend at the age of 16 seemed surreal and frustrating
If I had the responsibility of her, I wouldn't have allowed a single guy to come near her.
But she does have a boyfriend now. I had already warned him that if he harm Aana, he is probably going to have two broken limbs and two broken arms with a dysfunctional torso.
Though, be seems like a protective guy. But still... She doesn't need some other guy to protect her when she have me, her older brother is here to protect her from all the bad deads
But maybe I'd let her down and that is why I've come to earn my family back.
I want my mother's hand to brush my hairs when I fall asleep on her lap.
I want my father to say 'I'm proud of you' to me.
I want my baby sister to say that I'm her hero.
I want my younger brothers to experience a real family again.
I want my family back, because wealth can buy me luxury but not the peace of a family

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
8 89Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
