《Panta》Chapter Seventeen- My mistake
Advertisement
My eyes widened as I pressed it to speaker, "WHAT HAPPENED?" I could hear noise on the other end from what seemed like two people arguing, "I don't know! He kept screaming over and over again 'he doesn't love me'! I think he's gone crazy! Please come and help me Saihara I think he's going to kill someone!" No...no way...I couldn't believe this...
Just the fact he managed to escape the hospital was startling enough...but the fact he went insane according to Tsumugi just because I was dating Akamatsu? This can't be real....
"Stay calm ok? I'm coming, where are you?" I asked and I heard the yelling growing louder "a-at his warehouse oh please help me Shuichi!" I nodded and I noticed she hung up after that.
Huh...that's weird...you think she would keep the call going so I could hear what's going on the other end....I stopped questioning Tsumugi and took off in a sprint towards Ouma's base.
I was approaching when I realized how quiet it was...that's weird....I got closer when I heard a gunshot go off and I tried opening the door- locked. Oh look one of the windows broke! I didn't care how it broke as I crawled through to see.....Maki's dead body.....so it's true....he really has gone insane.....I fought back tears of betrayal as I looked at the scene more, Ouma seemed to be carrying a gun and Tsumugi was on the ground with a wound to the leg.
"HELP! HELP ME! HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!" Tsumugi screamed in terror as Ouma turned around confused "what are you doing-?" I interrupted him my rage getting to me.
"Ouma?" I turned around to see Saihara...."WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Ouma looked at the scene before us and dropped the gun, "Saihara I swear it's not what it looks like!"

"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! HE'S LYING! HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU AGAIN!" Tsumugi screamed and Ouma shot her a look. No way....I was hoping so much that this would be some kind of prank...
"Why Ouma....WHY DID YOU KILL MAKI?" I screamed at him and Ouma stumbled back, "Saihara please listen to me, I didn't kill her it was-" I shook my head "I didn't ask for any da** excuses Ouma I asked for answers!"
Ouma continued to act innocent "but I-" I silenced him with my hand, "I wish Ms Yukizome never asked me to help you...I wish I never even bothered to talk to you...because of my mistake my friends are DEAD" I walked over to Tsumugi and helped her up as Ouma eyes widened.
"Please just let me explain Saihara-" I shook my head "I'M DONE OUMA! Ok? I tried to help you, I tried to be your friend and all I got in return was backlash from you! I wish I hadn't bothered at all!" Ouma continued to panic as I looked over at Tsumugi who was expressionless.
"Saihara it wasn't me it was Tsumugi! " he started again "NO OUMA! NO EXCUSES! You killed people out of jealousy you cruel monster! Your blaming an innocent person to cover up what you did on top of that! I'm sorry for what happened to your friends but I am NOT going to stand around and allow you to take out your anger on other people ok?"
Ouma attempted to follow me, "please just listen-" I kicked him back as he stumbled onto the floor, "I wanted to love you Ouma.....but now I can't because you finally made me aware of the cruel person you are...you are going to be alone Ouma..because no one will ever want to be your friend.....goodbye" I left with Tsumugi and headed outside to call the police.
I never should have fallen for a liar. I never should have befriended him. My mistake.

The True Confessions of a Nine-Tailed Fox
Fox spirits are infamous as troublemakers, Piri the nine-tailed fox perhaps more so than most. After she follows an order from Heaven to destroy a dynasty with more enthusiasm than the gods can accept, she is sentenced to death by the Jade Emperor himself. Executed via her best-known torture device, she is cast into the cycle of reincarnation, starting at the very bottom – as a worm. While she slowly accumulates positive karma and earns reincarnation as higher life forms, she also has to navigate inflexible clerks, bureaucratic corruption, and the whims of the gods themselves. Will Piri ever reincarnate as a fox again? And once she does, will she be content to stay one? Cover art by Daniela.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

Beastkin of GRIM
*Note: The current content of this story up to Volume 2 will remain on RR, but further updates will only be available on Scribblehub. Will also be moving to Tapas in the future.* Hovestile is a world of magic, dangerous monsters and conflict. Earth is a world of science, dominant humanity and endless strife. In an uncertain future, tensions escalate between the nations of Earth as resources fall into perilous scarcity. Cities collapse into anarchy as governments tremble at the world's crisis. Boundaries blur from neglect and outright scorn. In sheer desperation, mankind turned to the stars...and failed. They resorted to more grounded technology and accessed a world known as Hovestile. Hundreds of candidates were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Over time, the people of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. Those from Earth were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, humans with the ability to increase their natural abilities through stats. Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with a natural competence for magic.-----------Alphonse Kneller is one outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead. As he begins to abandon hope, two young catgirl demihumans appear before him named Kirie and Asa. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract. Accompanied by the two demihuman sisters as adventuring partners, Alphonse seeks to make further contracts and establish the guild known as GRIM. Cover art is by sushirollw. Check her stuff out! Absolutely awesome: https://twitter.com/sushirollw *This story is planned out as a massive project spanning multiple volumes. Comments are greatly appreciated. Feel free to send PMs.*

Death Lives
When the universe is destroyed the avatar of death is reborn.Once an all powerful being but limited in scope, Death now has a chance to learn and grow.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is my first novel, please be critical of it where it needs to be. I'm not sure if there will be romance in the future. It is unlikely for the MC but perhaps I will have meaningful relationships between side characters that will be worth adding the tag.The Mature tag is simply because there will be killing, descriptive scenes, and more. There will be no described rape at all in my story, anything of the like will be merely alluded to but not talked about in any matter if at all.Please enjoy and thank you.
