I woke up feeling empty and alone. I only understood why when I realised that Taehyung was no longer with me.
I sighed, why would he be? He probably thought I was annoying so left me, he probably had better things to do, he probably only came back yesterday out of pity, he probably hate-
I was brought out of my thoughts when a coffee was shoved towards me. I saw that Taehyung was the one holding it and I smiled in relief, taking the cup in the process.
We sat silently sipping our coffee for a while until we are both done. Taehyung pulled me to my feet and started walking. He was still gripping my hand, something that didn't go unnoticed. I squeezed it lightly and I could see him smile at the action.
Seeing him happy made me feel even happier than I already was. My heart was still fluttering by the time we reached the mystery destination.
It was a small kids playground
I raised an eyebrow at his childish choice of face but he ignored me and dragged me over to a small roundabout. I had only just sat down when Taehyung starting spinning it really quickly.
I clung tightly to the small bars supporting me when Taehyung suddenly stopped it. I was flung backwards and hit the ground, scrapping my elbow in the process.
Taehyung immediately ran over to me and helped me up. The worry on his face caused me to smile, making him frown. His facial expression only became more amusing to me and I smiled even wider.
He seemed to finally grasp the fact that I found the situation funny and started smiling himself. We walked away from the park, hand in hand. Some people gave is dirty looks but at that moment I couldn't care less.

I finally felt happy. After all this time of emptiness, I finally felt a good emotion. And it was all down to the boy beside me. I didn't know whether it was his perky personality or his pretty face, but something about him made me feel invincible.
It confused me. This one guy had changed my life in only a few days. My heart was starting to beat faster, my smile only growing in size as I realised just how important he was to me.
Taehyung noticed my upbeat mood and squeezed my hand with a small smile on his face. So pretty.
Then it hit me. Taehyung could leave at any moment, and then I would be all alone again. I would feel sad and lost. My smile quickly changed into a deep frown. I didn't want to lose Taehyung.
The thought that he meant that much to me scared me and I stop abruptly in my tracks, pulling Taehyung to a halt next to me. He looked more than confused, especially when he saw the look on my face.
I didn't know what I was doing, why I had stopped. I sat down, removing my hand from Taehyung's. He crouched next to me but I flinched away.
I couldn't let myself do this. I looked at him and met his eyes. They looked tired and worried, something that made me hurt a bit inside. I shook my head, and gave him the best apologetic look before jumping up and running.
And I only stopped when I collapsed from exhaustion
- - - - -
I woke up when it began to rain. My feet ached, and my heart hurt. I slowly pulled myself to my feet. I looked back at the town I had run from. It was so far away in the distance, yet it still hurt that nobody had followed me.

Why would they?
I let a single tear fall just before the rain began to get heavier. I didn't care about my aching bones or the fact that I was freezing cold. I just wanted one person, but -at the same time- I didn't want him either.
I had to run away. It was the right thing to do. I doubted my own thoughts but soon brushed it away.
It was the right thing to do. I had to run away before anything happened.
Before I fell in love with Taehyung.
But I couldn't help feeling that I already had.

8 148Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
8 76Heavy Metals, Heavier Firepower
Heavy Metal Dawn, a new VRMMO game where every player is a pilot in command of a giant war machine called a ‘War Suit’. Axton Ryker is one of the few people in the United Earth to be given a Beta key, and jumps at the opportunity to pilot a giant robot. However, this game is not for the casual market, as every dollar earned in game can be exchanged for real world money, and eventually vice versa. Hop in the cockpit and stomp around while sending destruction downrange; its gonna be a blast. That is, if you manage to successfully deal with RNGesus, pirates, and the occasional galactic war.
