He somehow managed to run incredibly fast.
It was only but a single charge, but his speed was enough for me to not be able to see him before he appeared right in front of me.
What's up with this guy's superhuman capabilities?
It must be the rush of Berserk Mode and adrenaline, he's going crazy.
His HP is already at 300 and something, he still took both wind attacks head-on.
But now, he gave me an uppercut, right into my head.
The pain was horrible, and I could clearly feel how my neck's muscles were slowly being torn apart.
My bones were cracking, and I was about to be beheaded by his sheer strength.
This is ridiculous.
If I don't do something, I am about to get my head blown off.
But I do something through my parallel mind thought processing and enhanced speed thought to process.
I suddenly activate the Skill I didn't have much faith in, Berserk Mode.
Suddenly, my entire body muscles bulge and become stronger.
My neck which was about to be torn apart somehow managed to resist.
I twist my head, almost breaking it, as I open my jaws and bite the Rat-Gorilla's muscular arm.
The rush of crimson energy all around my body makes my entire body feel like it is burning.
So this is the power these bastards had…
"GGROOARR…!"
The Rat-Gorilla groans in pain as I crush his hand's bones with my enormous bite.
Yeah, did you think I was a pure mage build? I am not a dragon for nothing!
I put so much strength into the bite that I feel like I am tearing apart his arm.
And with a bit of force and the winds to help me push.
CRASH!
I take away his right arm!
"GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA…!"

The Rat-Gorilla loses it as I took away one of his weapons right away.
It falls over the ground as it groans in agony, the blood coming from his wound is a shit ton.
I quickly gulp the entire arm, as I feel calories and mana recovering.
I can do this.
I grasp the snow and use the wind to throw me away, right before the Rat-Gorilla was to crush me with his legs.
I glance at his HP.
A bit over 200.
Taking away his arm is also constantly draining his Vitality through the blood loss.
These are probably his last moments, but these last moments are where beasts become the deadliest.
They completely disregard their lives and throw themselves at you with everything they have.
Like the Ice Bear that crushed me to almost death with his weight, this guy can also go all out and do something outrageous.
But I am not going to let him crush me as the Ice Bear did.
Not at all.
I brace myself as Berserk Mode is draining both calories and mana.
My mana left? Around 140…
I have two more shots.
And he has a bit over 200 HP.
I grit my teeth, and jump!
Yes, motherfucker, I am going straight to you!
The Rat-Gorilla has seen me running around so much that he actually gets surprised!
Nonetheless, he braces himself as his muscles bulge, almost taking double their size!
He prepares his fist as it begins to gather mana, he wants to finish me off with a single punch!
But I am going to finish you off with my winds before that!
Our eyes meet, as we stare at each other in these milliseconds.
I am going to survive, and see another day!
STORM!
I put my will, mind, imagination, and my blazing resolve to survive into my very wind, as it flows like a storm of green-colored slicing winds, spiraling into an enormous tornado!

"GROOOOAARRR!"
The Rat-Gorilla moves his fist as if it were as fast as a bullet towards me while jumping straight to me.
My tornado against his fist clashes.
My winds begin to slice through his entire body, coating him with his crimson blood.
But his fists are incredibly resilient, penetrating the enormous pressure of the wind, barely being slowed down!
I see his HP reach zero already, but he keeps moving and reaching me!
Die!
Just die already!
Hist fist reaches to me, as his entire body suddenly becomes stiff.
His crimson eyes directly glance at mine, I feel like the grim reaper is right behind me, caressing me with his skeletal hands.
The coldness of death embraces my entire being, as I try to resist with everything I have, but my Mana is completely gone, and my calories are incredibly low too.
I am done for…
Boom.
His entire body falls to the left, motionless.
Eh?
He's… dead.
Did I win?
I really won.
I fall over the snow, I can barely move an inch.
My entire body is aching, the Berserk Mode Skill has this aftereffect.
Ungh…
I won…
I glance atop the cloudy skies, as the clouds suddenly dissipate.
And the brightness of the sun bathes my entire tattered and wounded body.
Hahh…
I feel like passing out at any moment.
I glance at my HP.
32…
I was about to die.
I have to… keep moving.
I force myself with whatever energy is left, as I begin to move near the corpse of the Rat-Gorilla.
I grasp its leg and begin eating it with my jaws.
I force myself to eat it, the flesh is hard and the bones incredibly resilient too.
But I munch it all and swallow it.
Munch and swallow…
I keep eating more and more.
Immortal Body finally has more energy to kick in, as my wounds begin to slowly heal.
I have to keep eating though.
I feel like my mind is blacking out and coming back all the time.
I hear strange and creepy voices whispering to my ears.
I see shadows moving around and disappearing.
I am hallucinating again.
Ugh…
I keep eating, I can't sleep now, it's too dangerous.
I force myself to eat more until I feel like I am about to pass out of pure exhaustion.
I get energy yet I am exhausted, what a strange body.
I guess the Immortal Body is using all the energy to heal me, bringing it back to zero very quickly.
I quickly make a hole, and throw the corpse there, alongside myself, and seal the hole.

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
