《The Guy Named Harrison: Book One》46
Advertisement
The Bears field was a mess, and the Panthers white jerseys were now stained brown with mud.
They were winning 14-0. But the game was filled with turnovers. Harrison had two forced fumbles by the start of the third quarter. The Bears defense recovered three Panthers turnovers as well.
It was raining so hard and the field was so wet Harrison and the guys slipped multiple times trying to make a tackle. And the ball was hard to hold onto and catch.
Trying to make another tackle, Harrison's feet slipped out from underneath him and he was barely able to grab the tight end's feet and take him down.
"This sucks," Luke muttered as he helped Harrison to his feet.
"Tell me about it. I feel like I'm doing a mud run."
The rain got so bad that Carrie gave up on trying to take pictures and simply grabbed his giant jacket and used it to shield herself from the rain. She wondered if they were ever going to call the game. Because with all this mud, someone was going to get hurt. It was too slippery to be playing tackle football on.
The Bears quarterback did a little shovel pass to the running back, who took off around the line of scrimmage. Harrison and Luke got to him first.
Carrie knew it was bad when Luke slipped and fell face first onto the ground, leaving Harrison to tackle the running back himself. Harrison wrapped his arms around him and tackled him to the ground.
The following play, the Bears ran the ball up the middle. Harrison closed in on the running back from the front. Just as he had one arm around him, and was about to tackle him, he slipped. The running back cut to the right as he started to slide. Harrison tried desperately to cling to the running back and have his weight pull him down as well. He totally lost his footing. As the running back barged by, the crown of his helmet smashed into the side of Harrison's.

He fell to the ground and stayed there while the play continued. Carrie didn't see him go down until after the play was over. When she did, he was on his knees with his helmet still pressed against the ground.
The trainer came running out as Luke knelt next to him. She saw him pound his fist into the muddy ground before rolling over to his side. Although she didn't see what happened very well, Carrie knew he must've hurt himself when he slipped, or in the worse case scenario, got another concussion.
It was a minute before the trainer was able to get him to sit up. And another before they got him to his feet. Harrison walked to the sidelines under his own power with Luke and the trainer at his side. He wasn't limping at all, meaning it was an upper body injury, or a possible concussion.
Carrie watched him walk right past the bench as some of his teammates gave him high fives, and right down into the locker room. She was already following and walking behind the Panthers bench and into the locker room after him.

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.

(DEMO) Colorless vol.1- Phantamoire Enigmata
This is a demo volume consisting only seven chapters. The sole reason of this publication is to show the world a glimpse of the project. Therefore, the final quality of the product will be lot more refined and polished. This demo might get deleted from RoyalRoad after the actual publication. Synopsis: "Knights wearing their shining armor serving righteous justice riding their glorious horses." We all have heard that story- Heroes who do the right in the purest way without any tampering. But, is it really that easy? Is the world and it's heroes really that pure? After all... fairytale is just a lie. I might be the first author in the world who despises writing. I haven't read any story books or novel in my entire life but children's story book (not even ten of them). So, why do I write? Simple answer- the story. Inexperienced I may be but I believe my project and it's quality. The actual story will be posted somewhere in 2019. The story will be devided into 7/8 volumes and 90 (approx.) chapters. I have been working on this project for 1 year now. It took me 5 months to finalize the concept and plot, 7 months for the story and it's already been 6 months in writing along with 2 times of total revamp.

absolution.
When Tommy dies, he expects to see Wilbur. Or Schlatt. Hell, even Mexican Dream. After all, that'd mean that there was at least an afterlife in the DreamSMP. What he doesn't expect is to wake up to another world, one that his communicator tells him isn't exactly a server. He can't seem to find any other servers, this one doesn't have a whitelist, and... there's no admin. No Dream. Instead, there are heroes. Heroes, villains, vigilantes, and civilians. There are powers called quirks, and they don't come from hybrid traits--they're natural. There's an entirely different society, one that doesn't have records of discs, mistakes, and the Blood God in its history for its base. There are schools that teach hero-wannabes how to soar to the top, and there are villains capable of flipping the world over its very roots. There were no heroes in his past life. Tommy himself is far from one.Yet maybe, in this life, he can at least try to be there for those who need it.===or; in which Tommy Innit "Theseus" Craft becomes a vigilante, a cafe barista, and then a somewhat-hero, wrecking BnHA canon in the processor, a dsmp x bnha crossover because i'm in love with the idea===(WARNING: this fic will depict lots, and i mean Lots, of sensitive themes, including but not limited to: violence, trauma, suicide themes, etc. due to the dsmp in general as well as how i'm making this realistic as i can. if you are triggered by some of these sensitive topics or what c!tommy goes through, DO NOT READ THIS.
