《(TinCan) I Hate U.》selfish
Advertisement
Tin was stomping so fast away from Can. Can, who followed behind, trying to catch up.
Can - Tin! Why are you mad? Wait up!
Tin - no! Get away from me, Can!
Can - and to where? There are only me and you here. We have to stick together!
Tin - but I don't want to see your face right now!
Can - Tin, why are you mad? We both survive, didn't we?
Tin - (turned angrily at Can and made Can stopped his steps.) and what if it didn't end up this way?! You could've died because of me!
Can - it's not because of anyone. It doesn't matter if I have the knife, I'm gonna drown either way. So I might as well give it to you so you could save yourself.
Tin - (clenched his fist so hard it turned white) you...you are being selfish. That was no difference of sacrificing yourself to save me!
Can - but you see! (Pointed to himself) I'm alive now, aren't I?
Tin - that's what pissed me off! you almost die and you're so calm about it.
Can - that's because I'm still overwhelmed! I thought... I was dreaming or something. (Lowered his eyes.) I didn't expect for you to save me but you did...so thank you...
Can was surprised that Tin didn't say anything after that but Can know that something still bothers Tin.
Can - (walked towards Tin) I'm...sorry. I wasn't trying to be selfish. But if you look at the bright side, you did save me and we're both alive now, right? So why are you still mad?
Tin closed his eyes as if trying to calm himself down. Then he took a slip of breath and stared right at Can.
Tin - I'm angry because you lied to me that you also have a blade with you. You made me thought that you could save yourself...but instead... you planned to die alone. You could've just told me to save you. You could've just let me know that you don't know how to swim, that way I could save you a lot sooner.

Tin's voice was shaking now as he tried so hard not to let the emotion take over.
Tin - You were unconscious throughout the whole freakin' night while I was carrying you to the shore. Do you how scared I was?! I thought I was carrying a dead body!
Can's heart ached from every word that was coming out of Tin's mouth. He didn't know that he could be such a burden to him. He only sees the outcome, he didn't see the struggles that Tin has to go through in order to save him. Why was he so stupid?
Can - I'm...sorry...
Tin blinked back his emotion and walked away.
Can - (quickly followed) I won't do it again, I promise! Hey, wait for me! I'm scared! We're in the middle of nowhere, let's stick together!
The sun starting to set as they both were still walking.
Can - we have been walking for hours now and we didn't see a single person. How are we going to get out of this island?
Tin - We need to at least find somebody to help us.
Can - What if there's no one here?
Tin - (almost trip) I don't know.
Can stared at Tin and realized that he can barely walk.
Can - Tin, do you want to rest?
Tin shook his head.
Can - Let me know when you're tired so I can carry you.
Tin - you? (scoffed.)
Can - I'm serious. I might be small but I'm strong.
Tin - (look away annoyingly.) Yeah right.
Can's leg also feels like his legs are about to fail on him too. He walked to sit on a rock and start to massage his thighs.
Can - okay fine, I admit. I am tired. We haven't eaten anything ever since we got here. I'm starving...

Tin sat down on a rock also.
Tin - are we going to die here or what?
Can - hey, you survived in the ocean carrying me overnight. Here is nothing! Look at all the trees around us, we can find fruits to eat.
Tin - we have been walking for hours and we haven't seen a single fruit. How are you going to find something to eat? So freakin hot too.
Suddenly Can heard something from afar. He stood up, wandering his eyes around the area.
Tin - (looked at Can confused) what?
Can - Tin, I'll be right back. (Began to run ahead.)
Tin - Can! (Stood up) where are you going?!
Can - I'll be right back! (Yelled back)
Tin - (eyed Can until he can't see him anymore) look at him run... and he said he's tired.

In Umbra Hasta
A blue marble floated in the unending void. On that marble, billions went about their lives, unaware that somewhere else, something had changed. Some requirement was met, and suddenly, a new type of energy saturated the universe. A mother closed her car's door and lifted a bag of groceries in an arm before vanishing into nothingness. Across the world, a teenager disappeared mid-word from a conversation with friends. In eastern America, Captain Octavius J. Asher of the US Army vanished from a mountain trail with no witnesses. People all over the Earth disappeared simultaneously. Such a thing would normally cause mass panic across the globe were it not for the fact that there wasn't a single person left on the globe to panic. Congratulations! Your universe has joined the System. Note: I wanted to read another litrpg apocalypse novel but couldn't find one. Thus, I decided to write one. The MC will be strong for a human but insignificant on a cosmic scale. No destroying worlds with a spell on chapter 25 in this novel. He will face challenges and be forced to make hard decisions. This serial now on hiatus for the time being :( Please rate and review. Constructive criticism is welcome!

How is he supposed to protect his friends when he's in constant danger himself?
