The End Of Life Chapter 50
Advertisement
As the car stopped in front of its destination, Mark rolled the windows as he kept a hand on the window frame and looked towards the house. It was a very simple house with 2 floors not covering much area. It had a small patch of grass in the front on both sides of the walkway towards the main door. It looked like a typical medium-class house.
He turned towards David who was also leaning over and observing the house and said, "This is our destination. So let's get down and go inside." opening the door and hopping out. David looked back at Daisy and slowly shook her body.
Daisy simply shrugged the hands-off and turned to the other side. Wryly smiling, David shook her harder and said, "Daisy, let's get down of the car. We need to stop for a while." she groaned as her body shook harder and slowly got up.
Rubbing her eyes, she looked around and then at her dad's face. She nodded and slowly got off the jeep along with David. Mark was at the back, finishing something, and closed the trunk. He looked at David and said, "David, here take this." and threw a gun onto him.
Looking at the gun coming towards him, David was startled and barely caught it. He looked at the gun and then at Mark.
"Take it. We can't have you fighting with hands now, can we? Use fewer bullets and fire only when you are sure it will hit." Mark's words startled David once again and nodded gratefully. Mark slowly made his way towards the entrance where Daisy and David were waiting for him. There were no zombies on the road, which made it safer for them.
Mark was the first to move as he clutched his sword's handle being alert. He slowly pushed the gate as it made a screeching sound because of the rust formed. He got into the walkway with David and Daisy right behind him closely. David was on complete alert with the gun in his hand, holding like how he saw in the movies.

Making his way towards the door, Mark slowly reached out for the knob. He turned back towards David and Daisy and gave them a nod before turning the knob. The door opened as sound accompanied it. He first noticed the stairs. It was only a few steps away from where he was.
Slowly going inside, he motioned the 2 behind him to come in. David, who was behind Daisy, closed the door and finally relaxed. He looked ahead and noticed Mark peeking to the right into a room and Daisy to another room on the left.
Mark turned back and said, "Seems like there are no zombies in the house. But it is better to be careful." and David nodded. Mark was looking at the living room. It was quite spacious for a family of 4 people. He turned back and saw the Dining room and Kitchen on the opposite side. The living room had 4 cozy chairs with a big coach around the television and the fireplace. Rei noticed some bloodstains and knew something happened here.
As he looked around, he heard a noise from the kitchen and made his way towards the Dining room. As he reached, he noticed Daisy having a piece of paper in her hand while David was looking at him.
David took the paper from Daisy and stretched his hand towards Mark saying, "I think a person left this for you. It has your name on it." Mark slowly took the piece of paper and noticed the handwriting. Mona wrote it.
Slowly opening the paper, Mark carefully read the contents inside. As he went through the information written inside, he closed it and tore it. He threw the pieces of paper in the dustbin.
He looked at the pair of father and daughter and said, "The person I came here for left. I suggest you both go take a bath. The water might be still running." making David and Daisy blush. David just nodded as he had his bag with him and went upstairs to find a bathroom along with Daisy behind him.

Mark checked the time and found it was already afternoon and decided to cook some food. He checked the refrigerator and found some instant food and heated it up. He kept two other instant noodles on the table before sitting down to eat his own.
While slowly blowing air to cool down the food, he thought about the contents of the letter. According to what she wrote, it seems like she was already too late when she arrived and her parents were already zombies and killed. Her grandfather was not in the house and she got a small clue where he might be at and took off towards the direction.
She said he had to wait until then, ending the letter. Now that she was gone, he couldn't do anything about it and only wait. shrugging he gobbled down the food and go up to see around the house.

Living a Long Life as a Legend
Reincarnating into a game-like version of a medieval magical world was fine and all. A good blend of two enjoyable tropes. Lock wished he'd been born with a bunch of cheats sometimes, sure, but he could settle with being functionally immortal by abusing the system as well. All rights to the art belong to Stefan Koidl, you can find his works here

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.

Author’s note: Second Chance is primarily about the flow of combat between characters, each with their own reasons for fighting. The world is dynamic, constantly changing through the story based on the actions of the characters. The story is intended to be told not just through writing, but through music and animation as well. The first music video was released along with chapter six. If you want a taste, you can find my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2LG4UHDJYqNWn6YS5Q2CVA
