《Binary Progression》Volume 4 - Chapter 17: Bonifacius' greatest fear!
Advertisement
Bonifacius found himself no long-running through his childhood home, now he was in a massive hotel-looking building.
On one side massive glass windows with the view of what looked like a city in flames, the middle of an apocalypse.
Around each corner of what looked like zombies, the genric corpse kind.
"StOoOoOp RuNnnInG! WhY aRe YoU RuNnInG!?!" demanded the massive humanoid behind him.
Bonifacius ran into a small bathroom, he shut the door behind him.
"What is that foul creature!?" Bonifacius exclaimed.
"STAY BACK, DEMON!" he called out.
With a single oversized foot, it kicked the door down and went into the room.
"GoT yOu!" it exclaimed before suddenly looking to the side, a group of the zombies was no biting down on its side.
"OwWwW!" he exclaimed jumping back and pressing its back against a wall and crushing a shower while it was at it.
In a sudden burst of adrenaline, Bonifacius jumped to the door, but not to escape the monster.
"Fear not!" Bonifacius exclaimed jumping in front of the oversized monster and keeping the zombies at bay.
"WhAt aRe yOu DoInG?!" demanded the demon.
"Illusion or not, I remain the top tank of the game! Tis my role to protect others!" he exclaimed punching through a zombie's head.
The oversized monster didn't say anything.
"Fear not! We may conclude our business later, but there is no reason for us to die to the undead! The victor of our fight should survive!" Bonifacius exclaimed.
"...RiGhT..."
The monster stood up and from behind grabbed a zombie closing in on Bonifacius' flank, with his giant fists he popped it like a balloon.
"We need to make it to the roof, that is where we shall be safe!" exclaimed Bonifacius as he began to move.

"AlRiGht!"
The two of them moved through the hordes of zombies, strike after strike Bonifacius cleared the way forward as the giant monster kept the monsters behind at bay to the best of his ability.
"THIS WAY!" Bonifacius exclaimed, as the entered the lobby-like room they noticed it, a flood of zombies, literal waves of corpses filling the room, on the other side of the room sat a sign "Roof".
A broken cat-walk lead to the door leading to the roof.
"We must fight our way through the waves of undead!" Bonifacius called out.
"I Shall tank the front, thou the back!" Bonifacius instructed lifting his fists to fight the thousands of undead.
"ThErE aRe ToO mAnY!" exclaimed the monster.
"Do not say such a thing! Thou are my greatest fear, have some faith in thyself!" Bonifacius said patting the hunched monster on the back.
"...Do YoU rEaLlY ThInK sO?" asked the monster.
"I know it!" Bonifacius replied.
From both sides ran a flood of zombies, the monster grabbed Bonifacius in one over-sized hand.
Bonifacius' eyes widened, he assumed the monster was going to kill him.
"Hold on, will thou be able to escape thyself?" asked Bonifacius.
Even in such a moment, Bonifacius was more afraid for the one to be his killer than himself, who knew if the monster would respawn, Bonifacius didn't know about soul magic, so he had no idea to suspect he would really die.
The monster didn't reply as it planted a foot in the lake of zombies before him.
Its legs quickly being bitten and slowly devoured.
Then it placed another, slowly making its way towards the remaining piece of the catwalk.
"Wait! We can defeat them together!" Bonifacius replied trying to wriggle his way out of the monster's grasp.

"QuIeT yOu... aReNt YoU tOo OlD tO BeLiEvE iN mOnStErS lIkE Me?" he asked bringing Bonifacius to the other side of the catwalk, placing him down as he buckled under the lack of support below him, his legs eaten to the bone.
The monster began its fall towards the flood of undead before being grabbed by the finger.
Bonifacius, a single human was holding up a monster many times its size by its finger, he was still partially submerged in the zombie wave, the walls of the building coated in blood and gore, like the walls of a giant meat grinder.
"LeT gO, IdIoT!"
"NEVER! THOU HAVE ASSURED ME ESCAPE! I SHAN'T ABANDON THEE!" Bonifacius cried pulling the monster up, he clenched every muscle he had, his face turned red and he began to sweat as he pulled the giant monster up, centimetre by centimetre.
As he did the zombies below began to climb the monsters giant frame, the metal catwalk began to creak and deform under the weight, something Bonifacius didn't even notice.
Seeing this the oversized monster lifted its second hand and placed it on a nearby wall, burying his finger in it.
"AlRiGhT tHeN! lEt'S mAkE iT oUt ToGeThEr, alright, Bony?" asked the demon.
Bonifacius smile.
"Yeah!" he exclaimed
Bonifacius continued pulling the monster up.
"I gUeSs I sHoUlD aPoLoGiSe fOr aLl tHe sCaReS..."
"Nonsense! Thou simply did thy job!" Bonifacius called out.
"ThErE'lL bE aN AlLy WaItInG fOr YoU oN ThE RoOf..." he added.
"Great! Think of the crazy tale we get to tell them!" Bonifacius laughed as he pulled up almost the entire hand only to be met with the force of a train hitting him when he lifted the monster's hand enough for him to flick Bonifacius across the room, through the roof doors and towards the ladder leading up.
"LaTeR, BoNy!" the monster called out as it snapped the catwalk off and fell, back-first onto the massive horde of zombies.
"Monster, no!" Bonifacius got up and ran towards the door he just flew through only to see that it was too late, like a pack of ants, the zombies devoured his greatest fear.
He had to hold back tears as he remembered their journey, Bonifacius liked nothing more than making an ally, and he dreaded nothing more than losing one.
Reluctantly, after considering a one-man rescue mission, Bonifacius decided to climb up the ladder.
Slowly he made his way up the red metal ladder and onto the surface where he was surprised to find himself on top of a cloudly peak, he never even realised when, but he was sitting on top of some massive spotlight.
"What happened?" he thought looking around and seeing a dimly lit forest below.
"Hey, Bonifacius, what the hell are you doing in our illusion?!" demanded Bromy attached to the monster, climbing it using his dagger and scalpel as ice-picks, on his back hung the vampire.

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
