《SIN | TAEKOOK ✓》seventeen.

"Get in the car."
Taehyung turned around to see his father waiting for him in his old white pick up truck. The smile on his face fell quickly, eyes losing their shine.
He gulped harshly but nonetheless bid a silent goodbye to Jimin before climbing into the passenger seat.
School had just ended for the day and the pastor was serious when he instructed Taehyung to go home right after.
Jimin watched with worried eyes as the pastor drove off with a straight face.
Taehyung sat silently as his father drove down the road back home, never once asking how his day had gone.
He couldn't help but think back to his father's angry ranting during dinner last night.
After the whole incident on television, he forced Taehyung to read passages from the Bible for three hours before he could eat.
Something about reminding him that God does not like sinners and whatever he says, goes.
The boy had read and read until the letters seemed to be falling off the pages and his eyesight made the words mesh together.
It only made him feel worse as he read about all the things the lord considered to be sins.
He wanted to be good. He wanted to be pure and clean of heart. He wanted to be a son of God.
He had fallen asleep crying after eating very little food, wishing someone could help him out of his misery.
"F-Father?" Taehyung asked softly, feeling terrified of the result.
His father didn't reply, only grunted in response.
"Could you-... May I be dropped off at the church?" Taehyung whispered, closing his eyes momentarily as he imagined his father screaming at him.
Once again the pastor did not reply, his eyes still focused on the road. Taehyung had already accepted defeat, trying not to seem too upset.

It was a few moments later that Taehyung noticed his father take a left turn instead of a right.
He released the air he didn't know he was holding, relieved that he wouldn't be stuck at home again.
He tiredly looked out the window to the passing cars and people, wondering when he would be able to be free again.
The truck came to a complete stop, Taehyung snapping out of his thoughts to see that they were now in front of the church.
Taehyung hesitantly looked to his father, waiting for him to say something.
"Are you going to get off?" He barked.
Taehyung quickly scrambled to unlock the door, muttering a quick apology.
"I expect you home by seven. Remember to pray for your sins!" His father spoke before driving off down the road.
Taehyung watched his father leave with blurry eyes, his tears waiting to fall.
It seemed like these days all he did was cry, but he couldn't help it when his father accused him of betraying God.
It wasn't fair.
A loud sob left his lips once his father's pick up truck disappeared down the road. He quickly turned and ran inside the church, not wanting anyone to see him crying.
Unfortunately he had failed to notice the tall figure walking down the opposite side of the street.
Jungkook.
He had been on his way home from visiting Jimin when he caught sight of Taehyung being dropped off at the church.
It was the first time he was seeing him since that night when his father had caught them.
His eyes focused on the distraught boy, listening to him cry before disappearing behind the building.
His heart broke the second a pitiful sob left the small boy's lips.
Jungkook frowned, crossing the street quickly. He stood by the lawn in front of the church, eyes contemplating his next move.

He bit his lip harshly, remembering the promise he had made to himself about never entering a church.
He remembered his mother begging him to attend Mass with her but giving up after he refused for the twentieth time.
But now the memory of the boy's tear-stained face had him more determined than ever to be by his side.
He wanted nothing more than to comfort the beautiful boy and wipe his sadness away.
"Fuck it." He whispered angrily before stepping forward into the sacred building.

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
