《》Chapter 18: Missed
Advertisement
Carlisle sat alone in the living room of the Denali's house. Their friends in Alaska let them stay for however long they needed to because they were off with others anyway. He sat there and looked out of the window onto the snowy ground below. He looked through blurred vision, having venom sitting in his eyes like tears that could never fall.
He was angry, sad, depressed, literally every negative emotion out there is what he was at the moment. He was suffering, and all because his mate and his son's mate were both humans. They thought this was for the best, but from what Alice has told him, the two girls wouldn't be leaving Bella's room unless it was for school, a bit of food here and there, or the bathroom.
He felt awful. He felt like he betrayed her. She's out there feeling alone and he can't go to her. Edward left when they got here, saying something about wanting to be alone. Carlisle wanted to throw the poor boy across Alaska and go back, but he knew he wasn't that kind of man. And Genesis would have kicked his ass if she found out.
Carlisle let out a bitter laugh at the thought. He missed her dearly. He missed her bright eyes and dark, soft hair. He missed how her eyes would crinkle when she smiled, or her nose would crinkle when she was disgusted. He missed her snarky remarks and sassy attitude. He missed her protective personality and compassionate heart. He'd give anything to hear her voice call his name again.
The venom wouldn't leave his eyes. He knew if he were human the he'd be a crying mess. He's technically one now, but no tears are falling. He wondered if venom could fall like a tear if a vampire was sad enough. He was kind of doubting that, though. Seeing as that he's drowning in depression at this point.

He wondered if he should have said something before leaving. Should he have told her that he was going? He had regrets about not visiting her one last time to tell her, but he also was glad he didn't, because he didn't want to see her break in front of him. He would have never left if he did. On that thought, now he fully regrets not going to her. He would have convinced himself out of this himself.
While Carlisle was off in his own little world of depression, the other Cullen's were off in theirs. None of them really knew Bella too well, but Genesis was their family. Genesis was like an anchor that the Cullen's tied themselves to. She kept them sane, and made them feel normal, like humans.
She saw the best in all of them individually. She broke through walls they put up gracefully, and she didn't judge them for who they were. She didn't see them as God's or like a way at a new life. She saw them as family, and protected them as such. All of the Cullen's had their separate reasons for missing her.
Chandler missed teasing her. He missed making innuendos and her not understand it. He missed her sass and jokes. She was the light in the room to him. He saw her as the sister he never knew he needed.
Esme missed her love. She missed the way she would hug everyone in the room and how she would calm them down whenever something was wrong. She was the one that held all of them high and made them feel joy. She was also like a sister to her.
Emmett missed her strength. He missed how she would always stand up for them and stood tall in a rough situation. She was the one that didn't judge him based off his appearance alone. She was beginning to look like a mother figure to him.

Rosalie missed her understanding nature. She missed how she would always listen to her even when she was hating on her sister. She was the one that understood her as much as Emmett, maybe even more experience wise. She saw her as a bit of a caring mother to her.
Jasper missed her compassion. He missed how she made him feel normal. He didn't crave her blood like he did the other humans. He missed how she looked at him like he could do anything and that he wasn't the monster he saw himself as. He saw her as the motherly figure he had in his human years.
Alice missed her giddy attitude. She missed having someone that got as excited as her and was very childish in some situations. She saw her as her fun mom.
They all missed her for different reasons, and they could all agree with each other that they missed the other aspects of her too. She touched their lives in a way that they could have never imagined. Venom swelled up in all their eyes on their first day here. And every time they thought about her it would happen again.
They felt like a part of them was missing. Like they left a key part of their lives behind. They all wanted to go back. Rosalie had blamed Bella at first for them leaving. She knew it wasn't all her fault, but she couldn't help but think that she'd still have Genesis by her side if she would have just stayed away.
They felt selfish. They left to protect her and her sister, yet here they were, regretting ever listening to Edward and leaving. Alice promised to watch over the girls To see how they were doing. Alice had let out a dry sob the first day they arrived. She saw Genesis in Bella's room. She saw them in the same spots for the months to come.
She had seen how they barely eat and how Genesis sat with Bella through nightmares, yet she didn't hardly sleep herself. Even in pain, Genesis managed to keep Bella's needs over her own. Alice wanted to run away. She wanted to grab everyone and leave Edward to his own emotions. He was killing them from the inside out and he didn't even have to witness it.
Alice had to watch it. All of it. She had to inform everyone of their condition. She had relive their misery and she hated it. Her brother was making literally everyone suffer because of one slip up. They saved Bella and Genesis from James! And the boys had Jasper! Jasper was eating away at himself. He knew it was his fault. He ruined everything.
Genesis wouldn't want this. She would be here telling them that they're stronger than this, and that she's not worth all of this pain. But, she was. She was earth's angel. This world doesn't deserve her, yet she graces it with her presence. She took the bad and made it good. She has continued to do that and they miss that. They want her back.
They need Genesis.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Systrem Amusments
For as long as history has been recorded, the scrolls have held power over all life on the continent. When a blight was forthcoming, the scrolls foretold it. When dangerous beasts reared their faces in civilised society, the scrolls chose the bravest and brightest to defend our way of life. It is only fair, then, that the scrolls would guide our brave adventurers through every step they should take upon \The Path/. Take heart, you intrepid four, for your scroll within your grasp connects you to the will of the world itself. Follow where it leads, and you will find your path to greatness. -Prefect Chelbun; The Initiated's Guide to Adventure Solomon always took the words of his scroll to heart. Where the scroll led, he would have his team follow. Any doubts his team may have were always dashed away by the words scrawled upon that ethereal parchment. Were that ever to fail, swift dicipline would bring his team in line. When the scroll told him to take his first retirement early, he was more than willing to return home and spend the next five years in comfort. It's such a shame, then, that Solomon's team had other plans for him. Clive was never was a fan of the rules, but he still played his part. Despite this, every moment was spent seeing how far he could strech things before he was broken back into line. Now that he was 'retired', however, he had much more room to stretch himself. Now he's got a plan, one that might just make the rules bend his way, for once. Meanwhile, some intrepid new adventurers are ready to make a name for themselves. Fresh off their initiation, they've already received their first quest, their first tale to tell around the hearth. Chances are good, however, that this story is beyond anything they were expecting. On a journey through uncharted territory, laberinthine cities, and conspiracies older than time itself, only one thing is certain. Whatever comes their way, it's sure to be an amusing tale.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
