《Austeled one-shots》Guilty conscience (pt. 1)
Advertisement
Context: they're enemies
Tw: axe, blood, (kinda) violent
Austin teleported into the mii channel, ready to give Eteled some more "therapy".
Eteled notices him immediately, standing up quickly and pulling out his axe.
"Getting feisty are we?" Austin asked, his words lingering with challenge.
They both got into fighting positions, ready to attack the other. Austin made the first move, slashing at Eteled with his claws. He sharply backed away. He luckily missed Austins attack. He swung back at him. He just barely missed. Austin swung again. He made a deep cut in Eteleds face. He winced.
He yelled, placing his hand on the wound.
Austin was about to make a second attack, until Eteled quickly swung at his thighs.
A shock of pain ran through his body, catching him off guard. He almost fell back, but luckily he caught himself. Eteled swung again, this time at his stomach, making blood splatter over the white tiles.
He fell back, a second wave of pain writhing in his body.
He started backing away quickly, still on the floor. He knew if Eteled got a good hit on him, he would be fucked. Unlike Eteled, his code wasn't based in the wii, meaning if he died, he can't come back.
Eteled followed him slowly, dragging his axe along the floor.
He stated, smirking.
Austins pov
Fuck. Fuck! Fuck!!
No, I can't let him kill me.
Not again.
God, I feel like I'm back in .
I don't wanna die.
I can't.
I felt my heart rate quicken rapidly.
I felt my wounds burn.
I felt tears burn my eyes, blurring my vision.
I felt my body shake uncontrollably.
I felt my breathing quicken.
I don't wanna die.
Not again..
Not again.
Not again!
Not again!!
NOT AGAIN!!
Eteleds pov
I raised my axe, ready to finally end all the pain. All the times I've been electrocuted, finally it'll all just- stop.. My dream of peace will finally become a reality.

He raised his arms, trying to shield himself.
Pathetic.
I was about to take my final swing when I noticed something. I noticed how quick his breathing was, and how his whole body was shaking. He moved his arms up a little revealing his face.
He had tears streaming down his face, and there was a look of terror in his eyes, almost as if he were recalling a bad memory like- ..
I wave of guilt washed over me. I held the axe in place.
Why can't I just swing it? I could make this whole nightmare end in seconds, so why? Why can't I do it?..
I lowered the axe and dropped it somewhere off to the side, snapping him back into reality.
He slowly lowered his arms, looking up at me. He had so many mixed emotions on his face, I couldn't tell which he was actually feeling.
Maybe all of them.
Maybe none of them.
I said quietly. It somehow seemed calm him down slightly. He placed a hand on his neck, gently checking it was connected.
He sighed in relief, soon after teleporting away.
I sighed, sitting back down. The stinging wound on my face persisted, but I tried to ignore it. Thoughts filled my mind. It felt like I was drowning in them. Eventually I was able to fall asleep, despite the suffocating thoughts and sharp stinging.

My Thoughts Exactly
Ryu, a teenage boy with no respect for social norms, is starting his education as a magician; however, starting alongside him is his sister Ruri, a devil (in his opinion) who loves nothing more than to tease him and make his life miserable. A shameless boy, a sister who keeps him on edge and a city of students full of hormones. What could go wrong? Oh, and the world is at war.

8 231The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ

What follows is a journey that will forever change their new world in ways that nobody saw coming. --- Updates Sundays. --- Helpful comments, reviews, and general error checking would be much appreciated. --- Author's Note: Three of the four main characters of this story are all important side characters from a story that I haven't written yet as my skills as an author are not yet up to the task. However, I do have enough of the story nailed down that no changes I make in that story should affect this one. That said, the purpose of this story is to both practice my writing and to generally have fun with my characters and the world around them.
