Life Drain System Chapter 9

"I will protect her with my life. Sir may rest easy." Yue said trying to reassure Laohu. He said this while walking out the door with his girlfriend Xue. They walked hand in hand even once they exited the building. Then all of a sudden a flash grenade went off and he felt Xue get pulled away from him....
However because Yueliang could still 'see' despite not being able to use his eyes right now, he quickly let go of her wrist, then ran to the one trying to pull her away. Once behind them, he punched towards their kidney to disable them, however because his strength had increased a lot, he accidently punched straight through the skin, muscles, organs, then out the other side. When he saw all the blood spurting he was surprised for a second then readjusted his strength for the others and continued running around to the next one.
Once he arrived in front of him, he punched for his chest feeling it might be safer and did it lighter, however this time he only punched halfway through. Once he noticed this, he quickly grabbed the assailants heart and ripped it out of his body while gripping tightly as if to squeeze the life out of it.
He thought to himself while doing this. 'I have just essentially killed two people, and yet I really do not feel anything except grateful I could save us. I guess at least this way I do not have to worry about a guilty conscious, I mean I am in the right anyway.'
Ding. Ding. Ding...

'Hold on, the rewards are great and all, however what is this about life expectancy? Does this mean I could essentially live forever? If so, could I share it with someone as well?' He asked the system through his thoughts.
"1. Host is currently 21 years old, however only has 10 years left to live if not killed by someone.
2. Yes, you essentially could.
3. Yes, so long as you either teach them a skill to lengthen their life or learn a skill to share yours. (Second one is highly unrecommended as the host can resurrect for the cost of a certain amount of years as well as have many other uses.)"

'Well this just keeps getting better and better.' He thought to himself, then saw four assailants pulling guns, and he quickly moved over and punched each of the four in the skull with all his strength. This caused their skulls to explode and red juices splattered everywhere.
----From flash grenade until now only about 10 seconds have passed.----
After he finished working on those four, he looked around for the other two then saw a weird looking van. He rushed over and they started driving away as he was about half way there. Yue then activated sprint and dash. In the next step he took he latched onto the vehicle then ripped of the door, climbed inside. One assailant shot him, however it only hit his left shoulder. Before he could pull the trigger again, his arm was missing and so was his trachea.
Next Yueliang said "Turn around and park where we where if you want to live immediately."
The driver did as he said, however the moment he parked he felt cold where his heart was. He went feeling his chest and found a hole there. Then a few moments later fell dead.
Yueliang, quickly ran out back to where Xue was lying on the ground trying to get back up. "Are you alright?" He asked very worriedly.
"I just lightly twisted my ankle, however I am more worried about you. It looks like you were shot, are you alright?" She asked
"Phfft. Hahah, you are adorable. You are completely unfazed by what happened, and are more worried about me. You really are the best girlfriend ever." He said as he picked her up in the princess carry, still having sprint and dash activated it only took a few seconds to arrive at the hospital.
Inside the emergency room: "Nurse, I need a nurse." Yueliang said loudly upon his arrival in the hospital. Moments after saying this a gurney was brought over and he layed Xue down on the gurney gently and said "She has a minor injury in her ankle. After you fix her up, I have been shot, so I need a bullet extraction, bone growth stimulant, and muscle growth stimulant."
----About 8 minutes later----
They walked out of the hospital hand in hand, smiling as thought nothing ever happened.
"Today has been a long and eventful day right?" Yueliang asking kind of jokingly.
"Quite true, however I am glad it happened. It let me get to know more about you. Also seeing you in action, you were so handsome. I kind of want to see it again. Is that bad?"

"I certainly do not think so. It was nice getting to save the beautiful princess from the filthy clutches of the bandits. Plus, now they are less likely to come after you again for at least a little while." Yueliang said confidently.
"Hehehe, You make it sound kind of like a game, I am glad we had fun." She giggled then spoke.
"So where to for our next adventure, princess Xue?" Yue asked in an excited tone.
"How about you choose my handsome prince, and knight in shining armor." Xue said while blushing and spinning with her arms out cutely with her skirt fluttering as she twirled.
She looks kind of like this: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84365820
"Hmm, I say school first, then we can travel together all we want." Yueliang said, while thinking. 'Although I say that, I still have to think about Noblesse Oblige.'
After a brief silence Xue spoke up, saying. "I am sure you are thinking about your service in the spatial wars. You do not have to go as you are a noble, however if you want to do it then I will join you so we can still be together."
"I could never ask you to do that, and if you go you might die. Then what would I do?" He said very sad yet seriously.
"That is what you are there for, to protect me." She said and then giggled.
"Well it is your choice, just please take it seriously. Whatever your choice may be I will try to support your decision." Yueliang said solemnly.
"Well anyway, we are almost back to the school so we should hurry back if we want to sleep well as it is getting late." Xue said trying to cheer Yue up.
----two minutes later----
"See you later Xue." Yueliang said as he dropped her off at her dorm.
"See you soon Yueliang." Xue replied.
---- a few moments later----
'It is wonderful to be back at the dorms again. Although I still cannot wait to move out. This place makes me nostalgic, yet also feel uneasy.' He thought to himself as he climbed back up to his bunk.

Yueliang had to rub his eyes when he saw the cost of some of the skills, as he thought he was seeing things. Then he looked at mana willpower because he was curious as to why it could cost so much.

If one has the mana body as well and hits 1000 minimum mana stat they will have the opportunity to take the divine spark of magic, or can just buy it from system.

'It seems I need the mana body for now, system Yang, are there any quests to earn Shop Coins quickly?' He thought to himself.

After Life
The full story is still on this site for free! But now you can purchase the edited/fully polished Kindle/Paperback version if you so feel inclined. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09P26HVDQ Armageddon, everyone dies. Certain people called Ultrasapiens come back to life with superpowers. Who are you, what power do you have, and why? That is the question I asked of my friends. They told me their idea and I wrote them into this story. Feel free to leave a comment of your character's ability. I'd love to add them in! - In the near future scientists have discovered a very real threat to the earth brought on by massive solar flares. With anarchy spreading, the governments of the world have banded together in order to prepare for the worst. Building disaster vaults, and designating safety zones in order to protect lawful citizens and the world's elites. After a chain of catastrophic events beings known as Ultrasapiens, arise from the ashes of the old world. In essence, they are a transcendence of human evolution fused with a primal will of instinct. These individuals are able to reclaim their physical selves, to pursue a road laid out before them by something bigger than us all. Struggling to piece together everything that happened, the Ultrasapiens learn that there is much more to the universe than ever thought possible. They will discover the key role that they, and the Earth truly play for the future. Two forces strive for dominance. One encourages the will of natural growth, letting the universe flow to its own design. The other controls with a forceful manipulation, shaping reality to a designed outcome. Religion is met with science, faith met by truth, and fiction with reality.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales
Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games.

Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are still yet to come...... This is my first web novel, brought over from ScribbleHub, and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Unique terms or further in-universe history for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be explained upon request, or you can check the ScribbleHub glossary here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/297362/shadowrun-the-wild-fire-tales/glossary/.

The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. The world, however, is far from the ideals of such a mantra.

An example: A village isolated from the nation of Alkai prevents the lives of many from progressing. It’ll take a society, a group, even a whipped together rag-tag team to jump start the quest for progress. An escape from a motionless home—in order to search for a greater future, Mira approaches her blade in a new light. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
