Chapter 851
“What is that?” There were red human shadows showing in the blood fog . Because they were of the same color as the fog, Chen Ge could not see them clearly . “Oh well . Even if the sky falls, there’s someone taller to hold it . “
Chen Ge turned his gaze away and opened the door . The students were studying on their own . Since they heard the door open, they all turned to look at the door .
“Carry on . We’re here for one person . ” Chen Ge walked to the podium . His eyes scanned the class but could not find Yin Hong . “Where is she?”
He walked to an empty seat at the third row . “Is this Yin Hong’s seat?”
The nearby students did not appear like they were familiar with the girl, and no one spoke .
“Aren’t you guys classmates?” Chen Ge looked through the girl’s textbook . It had Yin Hong’s name in it . “That’s right . This is her seat, but where is she?”
Chen Ge turned to Yin Hong’s deskmate with a scary expression .
“Just now, an old man came to fetch her . He said he was Yin Hong’s grandfather . “
“Do you know where they’ve gone?”
“He said that he has something to tell her, but they have been gone for quite some time already . I believe she will be back soon . ” Yin Hong’s deskmate was a bit scared of Chen Ge, or rather, he was more scared of Xu Yin and Bai Qiulin, who carried the mirror behind Chen Ge . Those two did not appear normal .
“The old headmaster has led Yin Hong away . He sure moves fast, but today, I’m not going to let him escape from me . ” Chen Ge shoved Yin Hong’s stuff into his backpack and then passed it to Xu Yin . He stood before Yin Hong’s deskmate . “Which way did they go?”
“The western corridor…”
“Okay, I won’t disturb your class anymore . It’s very dangerous outside . You might survive this ordeal if you stay obediently in the classroom . ” Chen Ge led his people out of the room . They stopped at the corner of the corridor . “Yin Bai, your grandfather is now in the school . “

Chen Ge did not know how to break the news about Yin Hong to Yin Bai . The girl looked kind, but she seemed to have purposely forgotten every memory that was related to Yin Hong . Perhaps those memories were too painful, and this was the body’s defense mechanism .
“Grandpa is here? Why hasn’t he come to see me?”
“He would have gone to you first since he loves you that much . This only proves that something has happened to him . ” Chen Ge had Xu Yin search through Yin Hong’s bag to look for clues . At the same time, he took out the comic and told Yin Bai, “Your grandfather is the kindest person I’ve met . We can’t let him suffer this danger alone . Everyone wishes for a reunion . Only with him present will the family be complete . “
In few sentences, Chen Ge had convinced Yin Bai .
“I understand your grandfather’s personality . Even if he’s in danger, he’ll try not to get us involved . He’ll take it on alone, so our only option is to go find him . ” Chen Ge grabbed Yin Bai’s cold hand . “Yin Bai, you are the only one who can help your grandfather . “
When Chen Ge said that, Yin Bai understood the severity of the situation . She bit on her thin lips and whispered, “I made a promise with grandpa before . If, one day, I was very afraid and helpless and felt like I could not hold on anymore, I should go to the old campus on the western side of school…”
“Wait . ” Chen Ge shushed Yin Bai and had Bai Qiulin carry the mirror away . He led Yin Bai and Xu Yin away from the mirror . “Continue, what about the old campus?”
“He told me to look for a burned building . There is a red door hidden inside the ruin . I was to find it and then push it open . ” Yin Bai was the kind that would not lie to others .

It can’t be that simple . If one could leave by pushing open that door, the old headmaster would have escaped with Yin Bai a long time ago instead of waiting for so long .
Chen Ge looked into Yin Bai’s eyes . The latter’s eyes were clear and clean, and they had nothing to hide . “Is that all?”
“Yes . “
“Okay, we’ll head there now . Perhaps we might run into your grandfather on the way . ” Chen Ge got everyone to rush to the western side of campus . As they moved, he accepted the backpack from Xu Yin . This was a normal school bag used by a girl, but Chen Ge found many doodling in Yin Hong’s textbooks and study materials . There were patches here and there . They looked ugly and unsightly, unlike a girl’s books .
“Why does she like doodling so much? Is it to cover up something?” Chen Ge looked through the books and finally found some spots that had not been fully doodled over . He held the page up to the light and managed to see some faint writing .
“Why hasn’t she died? Why isn’t she dead?”
“All the doodles are covering the curses toward someone?” Chen Ge put the textbook back . He picked out several balls of paper at the bottom of the bag . These had been discovered inside Yin Hong’s drawer . At the time, Chen Ge did not want to miss anything, so he had shoved them into the bag as well . Opening the crumpled paper, the front side had some math formula, but the back was covered in tiny lines of words .
“I am unable to control myself any longer . I can always see her, but she has forgotten about me . That shouldn’t be .
“Blood fell on my eyes . It was not a happy experience . I have helped her so many times . Why couldn’t she help me once?
“How hard is it to die? Just like what I did to them . She has forgotten the promise she made me . It is because of me that she is alive .
“Those who loved her have never appeared, and those who said they will take care of her disappeared at the most crucial moment . I am the only who stayed . She should be the most thankful toward me .
“Again and again, why can’t she see what I have sacrificed for her?
“I have done so much, and I ask for nothing but for her to die . I just need her to die, but don’t worry, I will live on her behalf .
“Why does she refuse to die? In this world, no one will love her other than me . What else is she hoping for?
“I think I understand it now . That fake person with a mouth full of lies is here .
“A liar who has never fulfilled any of his promises . Is that the reason she refuses to die? I understand what to do now .
“Just like those who have bullied her . Hahaha!”
The handwriting on the paper was hard to read . When Chen Ge reached the end, he sucked in a cold breath . “I’m afraid we have to move faster; the old headmaster is in real trouble . “
The old headmaster was a truly kind person . With Chen Ge’s understanding of him, even if Yin Hong wanted to kill him, he would not fight back .
That was because Yin Hong possessed Yin Bai’s appearance, and the old headmaster had always felt guilty toward her .
“Quick! The western side!” Chen Ge really did not wish for tragedy to befall the old headmaster . “Unprincipled kindness is cruelty toward ourselves . I hope he is safe . ”

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Sixth Finger
Year 506. The last human empire surrenders to the Great Majin Lord and joins his cause. As the continent in its entirety is submitted to the absolute rule of an undead stories arise of inhuman creatures that led his majesty's armies to terrifying success. While the demon lord grasps the entire world in his hand, generals and comrades eleven of his most loyal and trusted serve as the extension of his will and power. Common world knows these beings only by their position's names. Fingers. Goblins goblins goblins... I hate those pesky creatures. Not smart enough to talk, but intelligent enough to kill. Well. In this world of madness where blood spills left and right fantasy creatures run rampart alongside crazed devotees of long dead gods all meanwhile the frickin Demon Lord is slowly gaining power in order to take over the world precisely without causing its immediate collapse, our little Gob will have quite a chance to find true strength and maybe even understand why humans often do stupid things for this weird word that starts with the letter "L". Who knows, maybe he will even get a better name than Gob in the process... The story is posted daily in short chapters (from 900 to 2000 words per chapter) The story is NOT an Isekai. It's a high fantasy story with isekai element's at best (Majin lord is a Majin after all). I spent some time to create a custom, magic system I hope to properly explore together with you my dear reader. So what are you doing? Go read those early chapters! The story is said to only get better after you drink it... I mean read it. Seriously. After 15 chapters you won't stop. I just feel like pointing something out. I never read "The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale" which seems to be the first thing my fiction will be compared to... P.S. Cover artwork was made by my very own me (hurray me!) PM if you want something painted (no promises). I sometimes lurk in RR discord.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
