《Murder Is Fun || a Hermitcraft murder mystery AU》Part 19
Advertisement
Tango wiped the tears forming in his eyes, he missed his friends so much, he missed everyone. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he WILL kill EX. If it's the last thing he does.
He continued walking along the forest, looking around every now and again to make sure he catches those red glowing eyes that belonged to Evil X if he was around.
The red-eyed male continued his exploration, the most random of dark thoughts going through his brain. Tango more or less ignored them, sticking with his mission to end Xisuma's evil counterparts life.

The admin stood in the same block for who knows how long. Lost in thoughts or something. To be truly honest, he looked dead. If he wasn't standing upright and was on the ground instead he may as well be dead.
He stood there for what felt like years, his yellow armour sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the dark green of the jungle.
Xisuma finally snapped back into reality, his eyes widening for a second as the events of the last few days flashed in his brain, reminding him of how much of a failure he's been to his fellow hermits.
"Fellow hermits... Hermits... Hermits... Tango!"
Xisuma panicked, throwing up his admin panels in hope he could type in a few commands to get the coords of the red-eyed hermit. He scanned the screen until he was able to see Tango's coords, 1000 blocks, how fun.
He started to dart in the direction of his red-eyed friend, running fast due to the new adrenaline. The snapshot dude continued running, his tan boots hitting the podzol as his mind wandered off into the interesting world of Xisumavoid. Flashbacks slapping him across the face instead.
Everything was quiet, Xisuma walking along with Ren, Grian, Scar and Beef, walking through the mansion after the hermits have split up. A millisecond passed before the similar scream of Vintagebeef echoed in Xisumas head. And just like that. Beef had died.

The admin continued running, checking the coords every few seconds and trying his best to ignore the memories of him failing his friends.
Walking out of a room with the others, the sound of pistons and blocks moving behind him as BdoubleO knocked on the glass, Phantoms spawning ough of nowhere and taking his life.
He kept running, jumping over twigs and loose vines, his blood pounding in his ears.
The click of the pressure plate hung in the air as the arrow flew through the air, stabbing Ren in the chest causing him to fall to the ground, dead.
His feet started to hurt but he ignored it, dodging tree and never daring to slow down.
Scars panicked yell and the roar of an angry panda was the only thing he heard before running towards the area, Scars dead bloody body laying on the ground, the bear walking away calmly.
Xisuma panted as he checked the coordinates again, forcing himself to run faster, yet failing due to the thickness of the forest.
Walking in on seeing a possessed Tango holding a dead Impulse in his hands, tears pouring out of his eyes as hed realized what Evil X has forced him to do.
It hurt, the memories from the last few days burning into his brain as he ran.
Etho, sitting against a wall with a few cuts and blood covering his body, choking on his own words as he coughed up a bit of blood, closing his eyes as the poison sunk deep into his blood, his pulse stopping completely.
Tears formed in his eyes as he continued running, about 400 blocks away, he just needs to run faster.
Everyone was resting, Mumbo Jumbo up on his feet and exploring. Stepping over a tripwire and exploding seconds later.
"Cmon X, get yourself together"

He told himself, jumping over fallen trees and ducking under low branches.
Grian pressed the button that led to his death, Xisuma felt guilty for being unable to save him from EX using a wither and Iskall's dropped sword to kill the blonde brit.
Almost there, just a few more blocks.
The sword went through Iskall's stomach, Blood gushing out as Xisuma could do nothing but stare.
"Tango!"
X called, the red-eyed male turning his head quickly, putting his hand to wave. Instead, Xisuma jumped at him, throwing him out of the way of a sword, EX standing behind him with a noticeable grin under his helmet.
"Agh X, you're no fun!"
The evil brit giggled, putting the iron sword up again, swinging it at Xisuma-

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.

A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)

Two brothers remain, however; the last of their once-noble kind, holed up in a secluded valley, waging their own private and very personal war.
