《Legendary (Discontinued for now)》Chapter 18: Hosu

"NOMU" Atlas shouted. He prepared his fist but was stopped by Torino.
"No! Stay here. Don't forget what I told you in the morning. Luck will not always be on your side. Stay here! And don't even think about leaving the train! " Torino shouted.
He didn't waste a single second and used his quirk to get the Nomu and himself out of the train.
"Please remain calm! Everyone!" The ticket collector shouted as he helped the injured Pro.
"The heroes will be here at any moment now!"
Just then, he noticed a boy in a white and yellow costume walking towards the giant hole made by the monster.
"Hey! Kid, where are you going ?!"
To which Atlas simply replied;
"Outside... I need to stop that thing!"
Atlas then activated his flight and quickly went to the sky, ignoring whatever the ticket collector was saying about it being dangerous outside.
'I need to fly low... That thing looked different... But those lifeless eyes and exposed brain. Could it somehow be related to Nomu?'
Atlas heard panicked screams of people coming from the road below.
'There! That must be where Torino took that 'Nomu'. But... What if that thing is as powerful as the one from before?'
And suddenly he was filled with dread and horror the moment he realized what he just said in his mind.
'Oh no... If that turns out to be true, Everyone in this whole city is in danger. Gran Torino, Iida... Damn it! What should I do?! I don't think I'll win if I fight. Think Izuku! Think!!'
Just then, he got an idea... but before he was able to put his idea into action, he heard someone shouting his friend's name.
Atlas without wasting any time quickly went to the ground and began running towards the call out, which was in turn directly coming from the heart of the commotion.
Atlas ran through the crowd and turned the corner only to see a sideways bus flying towards him. But before it could hit him, the bus collided with a car and exploded releasing a blinding flash. The flash died down and revealed something that made a cold shiver run down Atlas' spine.
Two more Nomus... One had dark purplish skin, similar to that of the USJ Nomu, and the other had wings. Both of them were swatting the pros away like insects.
'What the...?! More Nomus?!'
"Manual! Put out the fire!"
"R-Right"
Atlas immediately recognized the voice and began running towards Manual, who was using his water bending quirk to direct the water from a fire hydrant to the flames caused by the crash.

"Why did you have to run off at a time like this Iida!" Manual muttered. Atlas heard this and stopped.
'Wait...Iida ran off? At a time like this? He isn't the type of a guy to run away from situations like this.'
"Hey, you're on the way! Get back!"
Atlas turned and saw a female pro was standing in front of him as if to shield him from the fire and the villains. Atlas blurted out the only thing that came to his brain.
"S-Sorry!" He apologized
"We'll hold them here. Follow the police's evacuation instructions." She commanded.
'Darn it. I need to find Iida. It's not like him to go off with such a major incident in front hi-' Everything clicked.
'Hosu city... Nomus... League of Villians... Stain... Engenium...Iida... I knew he was up to something stupid.'
Atlas knew he had to find his friend, and by the looks of it, the pros were somehow keeping the Nomus, or at least Nomu like creatures contained. But it wouldn't be enough. So he began putting his previous idea (which was interrupted before) into action. Atlas quickly activated his gauntlet device and tapped on the SecDef icon. A confirmation box appeared, along with a message option, where Atlas quickly typed a note: 'Load incendiary ammo' and tapped the 'Confirm' option.
With reinforcements on the way, Atlas knew he had to find his friend before it was too late.
He quickly turned around. Ready to leave, but noticed another horrifying scene. The fire was becoming bigger, despite Manual's attempts to put it out. But that wasn't the part that Atlas was afraid of. The fire was spreading... And it was moving towards a gas station via the burning fuel from the bus and the car. Moreover, there was a fuel tanker present in the gas station. The fuel tanker could have been empty, but that didn't make the situation any better. Atlas knew he had to do something, or everyone would die.
He then remembered the incident that occurred at the beach a few months ago. Atlas recalled that the shock wave from the 120SP impacts were powerful enough to repel the mini tsunami. Maybe if he Solar Impacts the sky, the shock wave would put out the fire...? But then again, it could also accelerate the speed of the fire by pushing more oxygen into the fire and kill everyone a few seconds early. Whatever he would do, he'd have to do it quick, as the fire was getting dangerously close to the station.

"Fuck it" Atlas was not the type of person to swear, but at right now, he didn't care.
"EVERYONE!" He shouted, trying to get the attention of the other heroes, but they were too occupied.
Seeing that nobody was paying any attention to him, began directing Raw Solar energy throughout his body and began to glow very brightly. This got the attention of most of the pros.
"EVERYONE! THE FIRE IS SPREADING AND IS ABOUT TO REACH THE FILLING STATION" He shouted, pointing towards the station.
"I CAN PUT IT OUT, BUT ALL OF YOU WILL HAVE TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING STRONG. PLEASE TRUST ME! OR ALL OF US WILL BE DEAD!"
At first, Atlas received some sceptical stares from the pros, but they soon listened to him and held on to things like lamp posts and guard walls. Even the pros who were fighting the Nomus retreated and held on to the closest post or wall they could find. As soon as he saw that all of the pros holding on, he knew what had to be done. Atlas prepared his right arm with the strongest Impact, I.e, Solar Impact and punched towards the sky.
The shockwave from the Impact was strong enough to push all the air out of the surrounding, and even throw the two Nomus to the wall behind them. Atlas then felt as if his arm was being fried, although, he expected that. As soon as the air returned, Atlas looked around and saw that most of the fire was out, but the fire which was moving towards the gas station was still somehow active. Without wasting time, he used his left hand and Punched towards the sky again. And this time, the fire was finally gone. But both of Atlas's arms were shattered. Atlas knew that time was running out, so instead wasting time on selective healing body part healing (which requires less energy, but a lot of concentration), he used his Super Heal ability (which does not require any form of concentration, but consumes a lot of energy). As Atlas healed himself, the pros went back to engaging the Nomus. Atlas seeing that the fight had resumed, began running the other way. But before he was about to leave the square, one of the heroes shouted a few things as he fought one of the Nomus.
"Thanks for the help, kid! Now get to the safe zone designated by the police... That way." The pro shouted as he somehow managed to point towards the road from where Atlas came a few minutes ago.
"Things are about to become really hairy... Now go!" He commanded while blocking a punch from the deep purple Nomu.
Atlas nodded and took off towards the way the hero pointed. But the moment he was out of sight of the pros, Atlas activated flight, and began flying low, through the alley ways in the opposite direction. This was because he remembered something he read about Stain. The Hero Killer always attacked in secluded and quiet parts of a town or city. And he knew that Iida, if he went looking for stain, will also look for dark parts of town.
While flying through the alleyways, Atlas thought that he saw Endeavour as well as Shoto running towards the fight. Seeing this, Atlas stopped and quickly took out his phone and selected the send location option. Since Atlas was exhausted and time was running out, instead of looking through his contacts for Shoto's number, he decided to select all contacts. But he didn't immediately send the location as he first had to find Iida. Also it was entirely possible that the two (Iida and Stain) were in completely different parts of town. So he resumed his search.
'Where are you, Iida... I hope I'm not late' He thought. Something he didn't know, was that he was about to find Iida sooner than he knew.
As he flew through a particular alleyway, he caught a glimpse of something in his peripherals. Atlas quickly activated Supertime. The whole world slowed down. Atlas slowly moved his eyes and saw Iida... on the floor... With a sword coming down on him. Atlas acted quickly. He deactivated Supertime, and flew straight towards his friend.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" Atlas shouted as he used a very weak impact, and punched the 'man with the sword'. He used the weak impact for two reasons. One, because he was exhausted, and two, because he didn't want to accidentally kill a person. And although the Impact was weak, it was still powerful enough to knock Stain back a few meters. Atlas then quickly used his phone ( which was still in his hand) and sent his location to everyone in his phone book.
"And who might you be?" Stain inquired, his voice filled with malice, as he recovered from the impact.
"Someone who'll stop you from killing people!" Was Atlas's response.

No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
