The Last Embrace Chapter 384
Advertisement
Jessy linked her arms with her mother's and they walked towards the canteen wearing a pleasant smile on their faces.
Inside the canteen, after putting foods in their tray...they settled comfortably into their favorite table and talked animatedly about the world and local news dominating the headlines.
Sarah's face turned gloomy after a while.
Jessy saw the worry on her mother's face. "What's wrong, Mom?" she asked.
"The current war happening between countries...the tension between leaders are being tested once in a while...some experts believe it can escalate to World War 3..." Sarah said.
"It's not going to happen, Mom," Jessy tried to pacify her mother's fears.
"Well...I'm just hoping it won't come to that terrifying end...the majority of the world's population is already struggling to survive with their problems and a major war is the last thing they want to entertain in their minds," Sarah expressed her fears.
"Don't worry, Mom. If World War 3 is unavoidable...I will protect the Facility and the Habitat until my last breath," she assured her.
Sarah tears up a little. "I don't want any world war again daughter. I've been a survivor of World War 2 and you have no idea how horrifying the experiences I've been through just to survive in that war. Millions of people died of bombs, hunger, starvation, and cruelty left and right. You have no idea how traumatic it is for the survivors to be reminded by those horrors which were considered as one of the darkest times of human history. Because of that war, I lose my family and my relatives. It's something that I don't want to suffer again..." she said with a trembling voice.
Jessy rubs her mother's back. "Calm down, Mom. It won't happen in the present times..." she assured her again. But deep inside she doubted her own words. If there are random stabbing and bombing of public places, as well as terrorist attacks happening all over the world...it would only take several lunatic minds of world leaders to start World War 3 again...that's how easy it is. If the majority of men are naturally good-natured and shunned violence and conflicts in all forms, there are also bad men loitering around in the streets...and some of them have brilliant minds occupying higher offices as a public leader in every country.

Bad men do exist just like evil world leaders in the past.
Some silent leaders are living a dual life of goodness and evilness inside...She was wondering what can trigger their lust for war, power, brutality, and cruelty?
When these types of leaders wake up and unleashed destruction on earth?
'It's just a matter of time'...a tiny voice echoed in her mind.
While munching on their pancake, the mother and daughter duo were both preoccupied with their thoughts running rampant on their heads.
Sarah was transported back to her memories of the dark times of World War 2...
While Jessy got several questions running in her mind.
If World War 3 will finally come true...what she's going to do?
What can she do?
~~~o0o~~~
Seventeen hours later.
Jessy was done with the last blood transfusion for the day. She excited the clinic and proceed to the human's living quarters.
After opening the door, she smiled at the couple, Perry and Hazel. "Hello, guys! It's now time for Perry to go home, Hazel...you and your son will go home next week...we can only allow one human to go home one at a time per week, I'm sorry about this setup," Jessy apologizes.
Hazel smiled.
"No need to apologize, Ma'am Jess. We were very thankful for your genuine kindness in saving us from the savage vampires and accommodating us here, providing us daily foods for our daily sustenance, it's more than enough for us," Hazel said.
"Ma'am Jess, thank you so much from the bottom of our heart," the couple said in unison.
"Nah, don't mention it! I'm happy to help you guys," Jessy's smile never wavered. "I will wait outside, you can say your goodbyes and your promises to each other, one last time," she said and exited the door.

A few minutes later, Perry walked out of the room. "Let's go, Ma'am Jess!" he said, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
"Okay..." Jessy responded.
They walked in the deserted hallway and arrived at the study room, the queen was already waiting inside, sitting on the sofa, reading a book. Queen Margaret put down the book in the center table then her gaze landed on the newcomer's faces. She smiled at the guy standing beside Jessy.
"Good evening, my Queen!" Perry bowed his head as greeting and respect for the queen.
"Good evening to you, Perry!" the queen responded smiling at him. "Have a seat first..." then she looked at her daughter-in-law.
Jessy stared at Perry and froze him instantly the moment he settled comfortably on the sofa. "Done freezing him, Mother," said Jessy to her mother-in-law.
"Good, I will start erasing his memory of the abduction..." the queen said. Queen Margaret went to Perry's side and placed her hands on the guy's head and began the process of erasing his memory of the abduction.
Jessy exited the study room quietly heading to her room.
One hour later, she returned to the study room, just in time to see the Queen already resting on the sofa after erasing Perry's memory of the abduction.
"I'm done, Jess. You can now send Perry home," Queen Margaret rose to her feet and ambled towards the door.
"Ah, Mother. How about the baby? What are we going to do about the baby?" Jessy asked.
"Let's discuss the baby's well being next week," Queen Margaret said and proceed to exit the room.
Jessy went to Perry's side and hold his arms, then she made the two of them invisible, she initiated the teleportation in her mind.
A few minutes later, they landed in the dark alley near the Resto Bar.
Jessy made Perry visible and then unfreeze him.
Perry's body moves, blinking his eyes twice, he roamed his eyes around the dark alley, his brows knitted together in confusion. "Where the hell I am?" he scratches his head in confusion. "What I'm doing in this dark alley?" he started walking and departed from the dark place, he advances towards the direction of the bar just a few meters away.
Jessy hovered above him and only left his side after he disappeared inside the door of the Resto Bar. "You're home at last, Perry! Welcome home!" she murmured to herself.
Done with her job, Jessy teleported back into her room in the Facility, looking forward to retiring for the evening.

The Chimera's Dungeon
Reborn in a fantasy world as a Dungeon Core. This story follows the protagonist as finds himself thrown into a new word. A world filled with magic and monsters. Now, normally, this would fill our protagonist with a lot of excitement and, admittedly, a little bit of fear - if it weren't for that fact that he is one of the monsters. A dungeon core, harbingers of death and fortune. And so, his current circumstances instead fill him with a lot of fear and maybe just a little bit of excitement. Join the adventure to watch that fear fade away as he realises just how limitless the power at his ‘fingertips’ is. The power of creation and destruction. Of life and death. Additional Tag(s): OP Main Character - The MC is definitely stronger than other Dungeons of the same age, however, he is by no means the strongest in the world. Yet.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
