《Laughing Jack X Reader》Chapter 32

Why wouldn't LJ answer my questions? I didn't understand it. We had been walking for what felt like hours and every now-n-then I would ask again who they were, but he would just glance away to the side and ignore me. I felt so confused it was stressing me out. The names kept replaying in my head over and over. They felt so familiar, it was on the tip of my tongue but I just couldn't for the life of me remember why they felt so familiar. It was so frustrating!
"LJ please"
I stop walking and grab his arm by his elbow, tugging him to stop too. He stops but he doesn't turn to look at me, he continues to face straight on.
"Who are these people? And why do the names feel familiar to me? You clearly know as you've been off every since you saw the list with them on!"
I give his arm a squeeze as I stare at the side of his face as he still refused to look at me. He sighs and lowers his head, he gaze fixed on the floor. He looked so sad, but why?
"Blade if you ask me one more time I will send you back to the-ARG!"
I interrupt him but jamming my claw into his arm, feeling the warmth of his blood trickle down my hand.
"Tell me now!!"
I yell as I push my claw into his skin further and deeper, he growls in discomfort as his eyes glare at me angrily from the side. I could see him clenching his jaw in anger. But he sighs once more, slowing turning to face me so I remove my claw from his arm.
I really didn't want to tell [Name] who these people were, if she finds out the truth and it brings back her memories, she'll never trust me again. But at the same time, I don't want to lie to her..

"I used to know a person who at first I hated and wanted to kill.. but then I fell for her.. she died not long before me and you found each other. These people on this list.. they were her parents."
At least with the way I worded it, it wasn't a lie, as the person was [Name] and these people are her parents, but this way she's less likely to figure that out. And in a way, the person [Name] was did technically die.. she's Blade now..
"O-Oh.. there uh.. there was someone else.. before me?"
She questioned. The expression on her face.. she looked so sad. Does the idea of me being with someone else before her.. make her.. upset??
I reach out and hold her hand. Wrapping my large claws around her tiny fingers. Her hands were so much smaller than mine it was actually really sweet and adorable.
"That's all in the past now. Just reading her parents name brought back unpleasant memories."
"How did she die?"
"What?"
"The girl you fell for before me.. how-.. how did she die?"
She wanted to know how she died? Do I tell her the truth or do I make up some rubbish.. again I don't want to lie to her! I feel like even if she does get her memories back, if she figures out I've lied to her then she's just going to hate me more!
"I-... I killed her"
I sigh..[Name]'s eyes slam open for a brief second but quickly return back to a sorrowful look. She gives my hand a squeeze as she gazes into my eyes. She was so beautiful.
"I uh.. I don't think we should talk about this anymore.. i won't ask anymore questions I promise! I'm sorry for making you talk about it. Let's just focus on the missions. Come on!"
She smiles sweetly, starting to walk away, pulling me along, continuing to hold my hand.

I indeed don't know how to cultivate
Zhang Jian crossed into a world of immortals...So do you think that the next thing that will happen is that the protagonist will go through a life and death duel and eventually become a dominant party, or some other cliches growth plot?No. Although this is a world full of cultivators and demons, Zhang Jian always thought he lived in an ordinary world.In the eyes of others, he is a hidden master who doesn't like to fight, a compassionate person who doesn't want to see killing.Outside, his partners have already been in wars with the enemy, while our protagonist is still in sweet dreamland.As the saying goes, the storm's eye is the most peaceful location, and the protagonist is in this.
8 70Chasing The Master
Zhang Cai, named Zhang by the streets and Cai by his master, embarks on a long and meaningful quest after his master's shadow to learn more about the world and himself, both as a human and as a cultivator. Another story I had in mind for sometime. I've been trying my hands at many different genres and art mediums, so this is my serious attempt to culminate the wisdom of them all into something that I can say I need to do. Please do enjoy.

8 174Incant - A Coven in Atlanta (Short Story)
Sisters are offered the opportunity of a lifetime to make important business connections and acquire an expedited education over the summer at a prestigious and secretive academy for witches. Curiosities held on campus are certainly more than either of them bargain for. I plan to update this story every Wednesday. Each update will hold one chapter. This is the second short story within the Incant universe. Recent work developments have made the release of my latest chapter a bit of an issue. WIll release as soon as possible.

8 118Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
