《Steven Universe: The Return [FanFiction English]》10- It's Your Fault
Advertisement
(Steven and Jasper warp into the conservatory. Then Steven tries to contact the Diamonds on the diamond control panel, but none of them pick up their communicator.)
It's strange that none of the three pick up their communicator. Tch, where did they go on vacation? *turns to Jasper* Do you know any place in the universe to vacation?
I don't even know what "vacation" means.
I see. Well, I'll try to get in touch with them later. *takes out his phone* I have to make another call anyway... *calls someone else, who answers the phone almost instantly*
*through the phone* Hello, Steven, how have you been?
Bad, very bad, therapist!
Huh? What happened?
*enraged* Because of YOU I'm in a terrible situation right now!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down, boy! What are you talking about?
I did everything you told me about personal relaxation, and because of that my friends are in danger right now.
Hold on a sec! What do you mean your friends are in danger because of your personal relaxation? What does one thing have to do with the other?
While I was relaxing, my friends asked me for help and since you told me to relax without worrying about anything or anyone, so I didn't help them and now everything is a disaster.
Other than your relaxation, did you have any other inconvenience for not helping them?
Hmm... no, I didn't.
So... you say you had the ability to help without inconvenience, right?
Well, yeah.
Then it's your fault, not mine.
What do you mean?!
Personal relaxation is important, nut if a friend asks for your help and you have the ability to help, you stop relaxing for a moment, help your friend, and then pick up the relaxation right where you left off.
*angered* That's not what you told me before!!

It's something you had to figure out for yourself, it's just common sense
What?!
I'll give you a simple example: You are hungry, you have no money to buy something to eat, you go with a friend and he lends you money, on the way you meet someone who also needs money, what would you do?
...
In the first session, you would have answered that you would give the money without a second thought. Yeah, it's a good deed and you feel good about yourself, but then that brings up both physical and mental consequences, because you're still hungry, you have no money, and now you owe someone else. You understand that, right?
Yes, I... understand.
That's your biggest problem, you don't have a balance.
Huh?
You have to be honest with people and let them know that you really can't help them, not force yourself to help when you can't, and not behave like a selfish, insensitive person who won't help even though you can.
...
You have to create a balance between helping others and helping yourself, you can't always put other people's needs before your own. I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to do so, on the contrary, it's very good for you to be a selfless person; however, all excess is bad. It's hard, but that's reality.
It doesn't help me to know that now, I'm in big trouble and I don't know what to do!
Sure, it's easier to blame others. *sighs* I think I jumped the gun on discharging you, do you want to continue with the therapy sessions from today onwards, or would you prefer tomorrow?
I don't have time for that!! Right now I'm the only one who can solve this big problem!!! BYE!!! *ends the call abruptly*

The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past.

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
