BRYAN
Bryan stood infront of his brother's cell. He couldn't move, he couldn't comprehend what just happen. Last night he was just going fine and now....he is chained and acting like a rabid animal.
Bryan couldn't even look at Nina's face. The hurt in her eyes were very visible that it hurts him too.
"Snap out of it brother." He said looking at Adonis eyes that were black, the veins had completely cover his body.
"Snap out of it. C'mom, don't succumb to it." Adonis trashed, he was pulling at the thick chain, trying to set himself free. He then shouted.
Bryan just shook his head and walked out of the cell. They are all in grave danger, and they must found a way to seal those gates. Sighing, Bryan went to their room and he saw Nina lying in their bed. She's hugging Adonis's pillow and smelling it trying to find comfort in it. Bryan hadn't marked her yet as his, so his pressence doesn't help a lot either.
"How is he?" Nina asked him sitting up. Bryan just shook his head and sat beside her. He place his forehead againts Nina.
"He'll be fine, he's strong. He can fight it" Nina only smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"I thought it'll be all fine now. I never thought this would happen, after all we've been through. I just wanted my happy ending. When will i have it?" She asked him. Bryan sat next to her and hugged her, he then kissed her forehead.
"I'll give it to you. No matter what happen." He promised, he then kissed her shoulder. He must give Nina the things she wanted.
"I just wanted him back. I wanted to go home." She then burried her head in Bryan's chest, inhaling his scent and trying to calm down.

"We will have him back."
AUTHOR
"Snap out of it you jerk." She said glaring at Adonis.
"I've went through so many shits and i won't let it end here. Snap out of it." Adonis only growled, Author shook her head. She must do something. Their futur depends on it. The goddess hadn't contacted her, she didn't even give her any clue. And the next wolf moon is near. If that happens then and Adonis is still in this posistion, then it will be a lot harder to control him.
"C'mon Adonis, your mate needs you. Nina needs you." She said, She heard the crackling of the chains. He became much more stronger.
Author clenched her teeth.
"Guards, double check his chains, we can't let him escape." She ordered them before leaving. There hadn't been any news about the hell hound. Maybe the king of hell is just testing them.
NINA
Nina wipe her tears away as she calmed down. For the past few days her emotions seems to be more sensitive, she's been moody. Maybe it's because of her problems.
"I missed him." That must have been the 5th time she had said that to Bryan.
"We all miss him. Now c'mon let's sleep for a while."

8 263The Rules of Dungeoneering
The First Rule of Dungeoneering: This will kill you Sylvester Bayes, the 4th son of a small baron, has suddenly had his head filled with the memories and work of someone who had dedicated their life to memorizing every dungeon they could find and designing a new RPG system. Not about to waste these gifts, Sylvester quickly sets out to get rich quick and discover the reasons behind his sudden knowledge. (Please note, this is dressed up actual play from my testing of a tabletop RPG. It is actually how the game has gone and there is a very real chance that anyone, including Sylvester, could die in any encounter. To help make my job easier I am using dungeons written by other people, which is why I have listed this as a fanfiction. I put links to all of them in the chapters where they are relevant.)
8 195THE ENCOUNTER
One day in 2022, a mysterious Alien Entity arrives in Melbourne, Australia. What is their purpose of coming here? How will our world react to their arrival? The story follows the footsteps of Jack Geralt – a Royal Australian Regiment veteran who, along with his friends, is recalled into active duty in response to this event. P.S #1: Because this is my first time I write and post my novel here, I will wait for your reviews before posting more chapters. Whether you like it or not, I still hope you enjoy reading my novel. P.S #2: I am sure you noticed that the Cover Art is not mine. I simply chose from my collection of favorite Concept Arts. If whoever designed this art sees this, I thank you very much. Since I am doing everything myself and have to alternate between my work and writing, this is the best I could do. P.S#3: If there are any inconsistencies with what you know (for example, location’s names, recent world events and properties), please remember: This Story takes place in a fictional and alternate reality.

8 81After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
