Murim Recurve Chapter 157

"Ugh!" Re'Kha retracted her leg as she swiped forth with her knife, cutting Chaya's lunging arm. As she took a step back, she ensured to retain most of her body weight on her leg that stood still, unwilling to lose balance if she stumbled due to some bush.
Her legs were bleeding all over as the sharp branches from the bushes scrapped past her. Some of them were roses, the thorns of which caused her legs to bleed from numerous places.
She was constantly experiencing scrapping pain every time she moved or shifted her body weight. Turning the grip on her knife to the reverse, Re'Kha made a back-handed cut on Chaya's thigh.
Chaya didn't seem to feel any pain as she plunged her knife towards her chest, making a cut on her breasts. The pain caused Re'Kha to feel dizzy, for her character wasn't a battle-hardened warrior. So, every time she was hurt, her consciousness shuddered as her character wished to flail around in pain.
It was difficult to control both her character's struggling will and her character's weak body to fight against an expert who seemed to know where to target to deliver maximum damage. She seemed well-versed with the human body, always aiming at the vital areas where only one attack was needed to kill the target. Re'Kha had to constantly be on guard and shift her body to minimise the lethality of the attacks she tanked.
Re'Kha moved her right hand forward, making a cut on Chaya's thumb, cutting the nerves in it that prevented her from exerting strength through it. Chaya swiftly changed the knife to another hand as she lunged lower.
Re'Kha lifted the feet that were being targeted as she kicked forth, grunting as Chaya caught hold of it as her right hand flashed, making three cuts on her leg.

"Argh!" Re'Kha grunted as she kneed Chaya's face, using the recoil to take a step back. Her body wobbled as she was unable to gather much strength in her right leg. Her left calf was already injured, and now her right leg followed suit.
Re'Kha was finding it difficult to even stand as she noticed Chaya get up creepily as if she was a marionette. Re'Kha tried to take a step back but found that she was unable to balance herself. It seemed Chaya had severed most of the vital nerves on her right leg that prevented her from moving.
So, she had no other choice but to remain standing in place and fight Chaya.
"Hehe, you're the last." Chaya chuckled as she slowly walked forward until she stood right before Re'Kha, "Once I kill you, my revenge would be complete."
"Shove it!" Re'Kha shouted as she punched using her left, aiming at her jaw, flashing the light on Chaya's eyes in an effort to distract her. But, she noticed how the lens in her eyes dilated to adjust to the brightness at a frightening speed, almost inhuman.
Having adjusted to the light, her eyes darted towards the fist approaching her as she opened her mouth, meeting the fist with the sharpness of her teeth, crunching upon contact.
"Argh!" Re'Kha cried out in pain as blood gushed out of her knuckles. On the other hand, her punch sent Chaya tumbling to her back, causing her to fall to the ground.
Re'Kha was unable to feel her left hand, except for the phantom pain that resounded through it. She wasn't even able to stand or move her hands now, barely focusing on them as she noticed three lacerations on her.
It seemed Chaya had done them while using her teeth to bite onto her fist. She had flashed her knife twice, one to slash onto her attacking hand, rendering it useless while the other on her abdomen, causing problems in her leg.

All nerves were connected. And, damaging a nerve in one place affected it everywhere in the body it existed.
The punch she exerted all her might into seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's neck as Chaya no longer got up.
But, upon a closer look, Re'Kha could still see the faint rise and fall of her chest, concluding that Chaya was still alive. When Re'Kha wished to deliver the killing blow, she noticed how both her hands failed to move.
Moreover, she could no longer feel her legs.
There was a gentle wind at this time, causing her body to lose balance. Re'Kha moved her shoulders, changing the distribution of weight in her body as she directed the way and side she would fall at. Thanks to her quick thinking, her body rolled on the bushes for a couple of metres before stopping.
"Haah…haah…" Re'Kha gasped for air as the crack in her bones seemed to have worsened, causing her difficulty in breathing as she gasped for all the air she could obtain and mustered her strength, "Aah!"
"Aaaaaah!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, wishing for someone to hear it and come to her rescue. This was all she could say, for shouting 'Aah!' required almost no effort on her vocal cords. But any other words needed some effort, something she couldn't muster for the time being.
Using her strength, she continued to shout, finally hearing the sound of a jeep coming to a stop. Soon after, a group of police jumped over the walls and began searching the area.
Re'Kha tried to shout once again as sounds failed to come out from her throat. It was parched and was running on air now, unable to generate any sound. Just when she tried to make another attempt, a voice resounded from near her.
"Help!" It was Chaya.
Having opened her mouth, and by using all her strength, Chaya shouted. Her shout was very mild, barely audible. Thanks to the silence of the place, the police were able to hear her.
"There," Followed by the Inspector, the police began to walk in their direction.
'Dammit!' Re'Kha struggled to get up as she noticed the police come closer to Chaya. And, the moment they saw her, they assumed she was a victim and began to treat her as such.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
