《Protected by BTS》Chapter 56: FIRE~~
Advertisement
The fire was minimal at first when Jungkook ran in. His first look into the once prestige storage he and the boys' had was now littered with blood and bodies. He spent no time in trying to put the fire out, but rather look for you and Jimin.
The fire grew with every second and the smoke was starting to kill Jungkook. Tearing his shirt off from the heat, he used it to cover his airways from the poisonous smoke.
He ran throughout the first half of the building, looking for his familiar hyung and you. But all he came across were more dead bodies and collapsing pieces of the building. The fire raged harder and it would consume the building soon.
He was in the heart of the flames by now and could feel the heat upon his skin. His body was yelling at him to get out, but his mind knew he had to look for Jimin and you inside. The fire was becoming larger by the second and Jungkook searched every unconscious body on the floor.
The smoke and fumes were starting to paralyze him. Jungkook coughed dryly and stumbled slightly over the falling ceiling and other materials from above.
It took so long to maneuver his way throughout the building when the fire and debris blocked his way. But from afar, he noticed Jimin's bright hair near the wall. Jungkook instantly knew it was Jimin and made his way to his hyung.
Jungkook collapses next to Jimin's unconscious body as he tries to get ahold of his body, "hyung?" he coughed. "hyung?!"
Jimin awoke slightly, but was still somewhat dazed. All he heard was a distant ringing in his ears as he looked up at his dongsaeng. The bright flames in the background helped bring his attention to reality.

"We," Jungkook coughed roughly into his shirt once again, "need to go hyung!" He helped Jimin stand. Jimin had an arm over Jungkook as they carefully walked.
Jungkook's previous path to Jimin was now engulfed in flames. Seeing as they had to find a new path around, they quickly followed the wall and looked for the nearest exit. "Kook, over there!" Jimin yelled over the burning fires and pointed to the window only about 20 feet from them.
Jungkook took note of its location and brought him and his hyung there. With a few steps back, Jungkook and Jimin took a small look at each other before charging at the once sturdy and unbroken glass.
With both of their force, the window shattered and Jimin and Jungkook were free. They rolled down into the dirt until they stopped a couple feet from the burning building. The additional dirt on their bodies were barely noticeable from the black soot on their skins.
They both started into a fit of coughs and gagging from the poisonous air they were once in. Even if it was summer, the temperature outside felt marvelous compared to the oven they were just in.
After a few minutes, their wheezing and coughs died down as they rested onto the dirt. Catching their breaths and calming their bodies, they relaxed into the Earth for a second before a realization hit them both.
"Fuck!"
"MiSun!"
Jungkook suddenly sat up and held his chest, scrambling to stand up. Jimin tried to follow him as well, scraping the dirt of the Earth in hopes that his body would listen and get up.
The pair tried to run back into the burning building, when a group of large forces tackled them to the ground.
Jimin and Jungkook did not recognize the men, but based on their outfits, they were firefighters. "What do you think you're doing? The building will collapse any second!" An older man stood in front of them and yelled.

It took 5 large firefighters to pin Jungkook and Jimin down. "You don't understand, sir. Our dongsaeng is still in there!" Jimin shouted and tried to fight off the men. But he and even Jungkook were no match due to their fatigue and injuries.
"Get them out of here, I want a team securing the area for any more civilians. The building looks unstable so we-" The fire captain started to order when he was rudely interrupted by the explosion from the building. The men quickly cringed and turned the other way, protecting their bodies from any flying debris.
"Misun-ah?!" Jungkook shouted as he watched the fire blaze.
~~~
You squinted your eyes and pushed yourself to sit upright. Your head was aching and you felt uncomfortably warm on the floor. Using the wall for support, you stood up and your legs were shaky from all the adrenaline that had rushed through you earlier.
What happened? Was all you could think. You walked outside into the hallways and immediately smelled the harsh burning of plastic and smoke. You also saw the bright yellow and orange light coming from underneath the doors.
You heard faint crackling from behind the door, and without thinking, you touched the metallic door knob. You hissed and jumped back instantly from the burn.
Fire.
Cursing yourself, you panicked in looking for an exit. Being on the opposite end of the warehouse, the fire hadn't even reached your side yet, but there were no exits. Your only chance was the burning door.
Using all your strength, you kicked the door down and it only fell due to its melting hinges.
A cloud of smoke and a scene of fire awaited you, causing you to gag and cough. Luckily, there still wasn't much fire so you could maneuver around; however, the smoke had already engulfed the whole building, making it hard for you to breathe.
You stumbled and jogged through every passageway, trying to find a door or a window to get out off. Lost in the building, you weren't sure if you were getting closer to the outside or you were going deeper into the building.
At this point, you needed a break. You slumped over the crumbling wall, trying to breathe. You wheezed and gasped into the sleeve of your shirt, wanting to give up.
You were delirious from oxygen deprivation and more and more of the building started to fall around you.
The wall you leaned upon started to collapse as well but upon closer look, you could feel somewhat of a vacuum feeling. Forcing yourself up once again, you realized this wall separated you from the outside. The opening was sucking the air.
Overjoyed, you knew that you must be close to an exit. But you would have to find it soon, or else the building would collapse with you under it.

Journeying with an eccentric tech billionaire, a boy who's way too theatrical for his own good, a proud knightess and many others, Harux wonders if he'd finally found strong opponents, or even people he can call his friends. Bonespore is a shonen-inspired story set in an academy where students train and fight. There is also a blend of magic and SciFi as it is set in a post-modern world of sorts.

Party Leveling
{A new notification has arrived.} In front of a few people, these hologram-looking messages appeared and changed their lives in entirely different forms. Things such as growing stronger, becoming smarter, feeling more agile, became possible within short periods of time from that point onwards. The one who regretted his weak healing abilities for years began to chase after the magic powers that could turn reason and sense upside down while keeping his goal, this duty to the wrongs he committed. The other one, who complained about his lack of strength, strove towards the path of an unbeatable champion to protect those he held dear. When the person who had everything found a path to desire for more, not fearing the consequences and the obstacles, he also began to walk onwards to a new life. And among them, the one who walked aimlessly but also never stepped down on the choices he made along the way, was the one who couldn’t be ignored nor disrespected by anyone. The “Player” system that they all obtained, and which granted them several abilities, knowledge and directions, was also the beginning of an entire new era in this world where monsters, magic and technology, were already common and wide-spread. There’s not a single hero, but after committing mistakes after mistakes, learning from the painful and thorny path that they take, and growing as people with the people that surround them, then someday... there will certainly be saviors. [Quick reminder that this novel is also being published in Webnovel(dot)com and ScribbleHub(dot)com]

Cheaters Always Win
Chester Everheart knew that life wasn't fair. Some were born in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed, whereas others were born with a silver spoon with everything at their disposal. A scant few were dropped into another world, filled with monsters and magic and forced to fend for themselves. The latter was a rare, somewhat ridiculous trope; but it happened to him anyway. Despite this he followed a motto that applied regardless of the dimension he was in. Playing fair is for suckers, and cheaters always win. Cheaters Always Win is a comedy-adventure that I've had churning in my head for a couple years now. I'd like to think it still has the charm that most LitRPGs have while also being unique in its own way. Every arc of the story will subsequently have a 'Level Complete' chapter that details all the stats, levels, equipment, etc. gained by the main cast of characters. Release Schedule: MONDAY/FRIDAY 12:30PM EST Cover Art by @staticobra on Instagram ★
