《Winter Wonderland》The Usurper from the wilds: part 2
Advertisement
"Aw, maan..." Grim sniffled while taking a bite of his hotdog bun that actually had a hotdog sausage in it, all thanks to Y/n, who only felt bad for the boy. "This is...*munch* the worst day *munch* of my pathetic life!" he cried, as Yuuna could only pat his head. "I can barely *munch* choke down my lunch!" he whined.
"You just ate three pastries in ten seconds," Ace says while Yuuna sweatdrops. "I still don't get why you even traded at all." Deuce shakes in the head.
"I didn't!" Grim slammed a paw on the table. "It's like, when he put out his hand, my paw just shot out - like it was copyin' his!" Grim explains to the group, "It all happened so fast..."
"Like a dear caught in the sandwich-stealing headlights," said Ace. "Nah, it wasn't like that at all. But I...I don't know how to explain it! Ugh, this stinks. I need to eat my feelings, stat! Deuce, gimme a bite of your pasta" he ordered.
"No way! Go have Y/n create a meal for you!" Deuce says. Everyone looked at Y/n, especially Grim, who was begging her to make him something delicious to eat with his eyes. The girl gave in with a sigh, flicking her wrist to have a gourmet pasta for Grim, who excitedly began to eat his meal.
"Hmm...didn't the headmaster ask for you guys to meet him in his office after class?" Y/n asked. Ace shrugged, "No clue what it could be, though," he says.
"It probably has something to do with what happened to Housewarden Rosehearts a few days ago," Deuce suggests.
"When he went all berserker mode on us?" Ace asked, stopping to think about it, "Yeah, I bet you're right"
"It does make sense after all" Yuuna replies.
"Maybe he wants to lavish me with a smorgasbord of succulent fish for all of my hard work that day!" Grim cheered. Ace scoffed, "Yeah, dream on, furball."
"You know, that guy who came by earlier..." Yuuna turned to Y/n, who tilted her head a bit. The way her side bangs moved with her head looked adorable. It was like a puppy tilting its head cutely-
"I feel like we've seen him somewhere before," Yuuna says. "You definitely had, Yuu. After all, he was the one-" before Y/n could finish her sentence, a loud voice interrupted her. "OMG, GUYS!" It was Cater, who rushed towards them.
"Rebirth has posted 3 music videos that we shot here in NRC!" he exclaimed.
"Huh?!" Ace and Deuce immediately took their phones out and onto Rebirth's MagiCam. "You can't believe that Rebirth was actually here a few days ago! I can't believe we didn't notice" Ace whined as Cater did the same.
Y/n sweatdropped a bit, "Well...Rebirth might have a hard time filming if her fans were all over her"
"Yeah, you're right. Perhaps that's why we didn't know" Deuce agrees along with Yuuna.
"You guys totes have to watch the music videos. It even features the housewarden of Pomefiore. The one I told you about on your first day, Yuu" Cater grinned, poking Yuuna's cheek a little.

"Well, what are you waiting for?! Let's get to watching!" Ace shouts, clearly excited to watch the music videos.
"Myah...what's his deal" Grim grumbled. "He is just excited, Grim." Yuuna pat his head while Cater shows the group the music videos featuring Rebirth and Vil.
The music video has started, with Y/n, dressed as a God, looking down on Eypgt. Y/n was asked to play the role of God, but how was she able to play the role of God and Rebirth at the same time? The answer is simple, clones. A living doll of Y/n has been inside of the school, attending classes, as a clone was playing the role of God, as for the real Y/n, she was the one singing as Rebirth.
Y/n gritted her teeth
Y/n pointed forward. The scene changes to a woman running away from something...black frogs, bringing the plaque
Someone dropped a cup of water on the floor, with bugs coming out of it, as the Bread molded
The scene changes to animals collapsing, as more and more people ran in many directions to avoid the flies roaming.
The scene changes to a man, screaming, trying to get the bugs off of him and his bed.
The scene changes to Vil, who plays Moses, looking down at the destruction with a sad frown on his face.
"Once I called you sister.
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh,
Was all I ever wanted..."
Lightning struck, as dark clouds began forming, under God Y/n's power.
Then rocks on fire began raining down.
Vil then turned towards the camera, with the destruction happening behind him
"And even now I wish that God had chose another
Serving as your foe on his behalf
was the last thing that I wanted...!"
Vil ran away, tears filling his eyes.
He then looked at his surroundings, walking through the destruction, taking glazes at the dead people around him.
"This was my home...
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside"
Vil clenched his fist, gritting his teeth in anger.
"All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride...!"
Vil shouts towards the great pyramid, with Rebirth sitting on her throne, with her famous phoenix mask that covers the upper face of her face.
"You who I called Brother
Why must you call down another blow?"
Rebirth sang, wearing royal clothes that a female Pharoh would wear. Clearly angry towards her brother.
The scene changed to Vil, walking up the pyramid, to face his sister.
"Let my people go!"
Vil pleaded
"Thus saith the Lord!"
The scene moved in towards Rebirth, having an angry look on her face. She gritted her teeth, clenching her fist. She raised her fist in the air and immediately slammed her fist on the hard handles on her throne
"You who I called Brother!
How could you have come to hate me so?"
Rebirth turn her face to the side
"Is this what you wanted?"
She sang, turning towards Vil, who was 10 feet away from the entrance.
"Then let my heart be hardened!"

Rebirth stood up from her throne, stomping towards the entrance, covered with curtains.
"And never mind how high the cost may grow"
She opened the curtains to come face-to-face with Vil
"This will still be so...
I will NEVER let your people go!"
Rebirth told Vil, turning away from him. Vil's eyes widen tears about to fall.
"Thus saith the lord"
"I will not"
The Scene ended with Vil reaching toward his sister, as God Y/n stood behind Vil, saying the same thing as Vil. While Rebirth's back was turned, walking away, telling them no.
And the music video was over.
"Huh?! Y/n! You were singing as God?" Ace asked, surprised. After all, he could've sworn he saw her during class. "How?! You were present in our classes" Deuce says. Yuuna and Cater, along with Grim, looked toward Y/n, surprised by this as well.
"Well, it's called a clone" Y/n sipped her tea, clearly unbothered by the stares.
Cater plays another music video that Rebirth has posted on her MagiCam. Mortals and Fools.
It starts with Rebirth, dressed as a beautiful Goddess of Death, kneeling down in front of Vil, who played as a boy who was in love with a killer who targets evil.
"What I see in your eyes
Is a counterfeit emotion"
"Nearly true, pretty lies
Promise all you're dreaming of"
Rebirth stood up, walking towards the other side of Vil
"Like a frog in a well
Who is sure he's in the ocean"
Rebirth then looked down at Vil, having an expressionless face.
"You believe in the spell
Of this thing that you call love"
Rebirth grabbed a black notebook, staring at it.
"Try as I well, I just don't understand it"
she sang, giving Vil the black notebook, called the Death Note.
"Love is for mortals and fools...
Never turns out quite the way that you planned it!
So why do you break all the rules?"
Rebirth looked towards Vil, still wearing her phoenix mask that was made to match her Goddess of Death entire.
Vil looked down at the notebook in his hands and smiled.
"What I feel, is so real
That it sets my poor heart racing"
Vil stood up, facing Rebirth
"Something you'll never know
Though you lived a thousand years"
"Half a life
Is the deal, to discover who you're chasing
Half a life"
"Even so, worth it all if he appears!"
Vil sang, hugging the death note with hope.
Rebirth and Vil sand together.
"Love is for mortals and fools..."
"Love makes you break all the rules..."
Vil then looked up towards the sky as Rebirth frowns, looking down
"Love can make you come alive"
"Or take your life away
love should make you leave"
"But makes you stay
For love can make you happy
In a house where love is made!"
"Then it makes you wary and afraid..."
Rebirth looked at Vil, shaking her head.
"Try as I might, never will understand it
Love is for mortals and fools"
Rebirth clenched her fist on her chest
"Never turns out quite the way that you planned it"
"Love is for making"
"Life is for taking"
Rebirth grabs Vil's hands, trying to convince him to use the Death note for his own desire.
"Wow, that song was quite dark," Yuuna says. The others agreed. Y/n chuckled a bit, "I once said 'Love is for mortals and fools' yesterday night when I got a notification of the release, but Malleus heard me." she started laughing a bit.
"huh?"
"Malleus thought I met it. It took a lot of affection to have him know I was just singing a song from Rebirth" Y/n calm herself down.
"Isn't he your fiance, Y/n?" Yuuna asked. Ace and Deuce, along with Cater all widen their eyes from shock. "what?!"
Y/n had a deadpanned expression, "I thought you guys knew..."
Cater cleared his throat, saving Ace and Deuce from having to explain. "Let's just watch the next video"
Cater turned on the final music video posted on Rebirth's MagiCam.
The music video started with a clock ticking to Midnight. Rebirth and Vil began to sing some chorus for a bit.
Rebirth then looked out the window, wearing a beautiful dress, as the sleeves wear like phoenix feathers, wearing a signature mask.
"Show me dreams of me and you,
dancing in a pas de deux
Fleeting time will break the spell of seven hues
Fingers lure me down the stairs,
I whisper my silent prayers
Never thought before I leaped that it would be too much to bear"
Rebirth sang, turning towards Vil, who invited her to dance
"Cold drops on shaking hands, according to the plan"
Rebirth hugged Vil, having her angelic wings out, around Vil was well. It really did make it look like a Seraph
The scene changed to that of Rebirth running away, leaving her glass slipper behind.
"Shoe of class, burning in flames of wrath,
crumbling into ash,
sweet dream they never last..."
"Trembling, hiding all my tears,
wishing I was never here
You glanced at the giant clock, the time is near
I took off my sparkling shoes, promenaded up the avene
Ran my fingers down your neck
without meaning to seduce"
Rebirth sang, frowning a bit, standing alone. Vil then smiled and kissed her tears away.
"I kissed the crystal dew; from your eyes, it spewed
Impulses ran through my spine;
your gaze it locked with mine
I was blinded by your shine"
Rebirth and Vil were on the balcony, dancing again.
"I still could feel somewhere in this room
his breath on my skin!
But it was just a dream I had of him"
"Silver moonlight glowed through the stained glass window panes
Veiling your gilded face from pain"
The scene changes to Rebirth and Vil dancing in the ballroom again.
The scene ended with Vil kissing Rebirth as she lay in a pool of blood.
Soon after they watched the videos, they talked about how the music videos were well edited, especially how Vil's performance was just as great as Rebirth.
Surely, Vil's beauty would rise since he did something that no one, not even Neige Le-Blanche, was able to accomplish. And, Vil never got to play as the antagonist this time.
Right after classes were over, Yuuna, Grim, Deuce, and Ace walked towards the headmaster's office. While Y/n decided to take a short stroll around the Amaryllis front garden before the housewarden meeting that Crowley asked her to attend, after all, she IS a housewarden herself now.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After 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.
