《The One Luna》Baptism of Blood
Advertisement
Right as they got up to the gate, they noticed it was cracked open a bit, when they suddenly heard a commotion inside.
"C'mon, don't make this any harder than it has to be. There's ten of us level 5 players versus two of you. We all know how this is going to end." an unknown male started yelling in an urging tone.
It didn't take a lot to guess what intentions these men had. Luna signaled for the group to stay quiet, as they started to slowly sneak in. The house had a long driveway, with hedges on the sides leading towards the front door. As they were hiding behind the bushes, Luna activated his stealth skill. Although these men were obviously here with no good intentions, he didn't feel as if that was reason enough to start massacring them. Although he had never never killed anyone before, he knew that in this new world, when it came to it, he would have to kill or be killed.
"Yeah, I promise, just the tip!" Chimed in a bald guy. Luna recognized these guys, they lived around this neighborhood, and were in the same group of friends, he'd notice their eyes always following the two sisters when they were in College, especially when they walked past them in the hallways, those guys would be sitting on the floor, their eyes would be homed in on the two's behind. At one point, even being as daring as grabbing Clara's rear end and yelling "WORTH IT!" as he was getting beaten up. Luna also noticed another guy in the middle whom he'd never seen before. Listening in, he quickly found out who he was.
The bald guy pointed to the guy in the middle and said, "You see, my brother here just got out of jail, and despite being a bigger pervert than me, he hasn't tasted a woman that whole time."
Mara and Clara gripped their Itak Tagalogs tighter, fully knowing that a fight was inevitable. Like hell they'd give in to these guys.

The guy in the middle stepped forward, "My name is Eduardo, as you can probably assume, I'm not a very patient man. If you both continue to refuse to strip for your daddy here, I'll rape one of you while these 9 rape the other one, and you can both see each other get your virginity taken in front of each other. So what do you say? Or else you'll end up like this dumb security guard of yours." Eduardo pointed his Itak Tagalog at a corpse on the ground.
This man was called "Manong Jimmy," he had been a loyal security guard for the De Los Santos family for decades, and was considered as a second father by both Maria and Clara. This man acted as a father figure to the two, and was the one who introduced them to Filipino Martial Arts.
Maria who was the most hot-headed of the two couldn't take it anymore. She gave her sister a look and Clara immediately understood. The very next second, they both charged forward, from the front door, down the steps, towards the group of men, intending to fight to the death. Eduardo had a smirk on his face, as this was within his calculations.
He knew of the sisters' fiery temper. If they went inside, it would take much more effort, as the huge front door seemed sturdy, and the windows had ornate metal bars on the outer end, they would have to expend more energy that way. If they caught the attention of some zombies or passing evolved zombies, that would waste even more of their energy, possibly losing a person even.
As Sura and the rest were already behind the shrubbery closest to the group of men, they charged out as well. Luna hit Eduardo in the back of the neck with the butt of his Itak Tagalog, knocking him out.
"CHAIN LIGHTNING!" Apple didn't hesitate as well, as someone who invested majority of her points to INT, as well as being higher leveled, she easily took down 5 of the men, only stopping after leaving them with a sliver of HP, not enough to kill them, but enough to incapacitate them.

Sura and Mabini took the other two by surprise and knocked them out as well. Boni, with his lack of AGI didn't even get to throw out an attack at all.
"Luna!" The Dragon sisters exclaimed after recovering from their initial shock. After getting excited for a moment, they were quickly reminded of a grim truth, "Manong Jimmy he... Even as they were about to kill him he still begged for them to have mercy on us and let us go." Luna gave them both a hug as they started sobbing as they hugged him back tightly.
No matter how aloof they seemed on the outside, towards the people they cared for, they would show a warmth that was a sharp contrast to how they were to the rest. "They deserve to die! Those bastards deserve to die!" Luna hugged them tighter as he rubbed their backs trying to comfort them, as he looked at the tied up thugs with eyes that showed no mercy and only replied with two words, "I know."
Sura noticed his expression, and couldn't help but think in her head that she was lucky to have been summoned by Luna and not anyone else. Quick to adapt, valued his relationships with his friends highly, kind, yet to the people who deserved it, he could show such resolute eyes. She knew these thugs were done for, she just didn't expect how Luna was about to do it.
As the group of ten men started to wake up, they couldn't help but show fear in their eyes, one way or another, their ending was not going to be good.
Luna looked at his party, and especially made eye contact with everybody but Sura.
"One way or another, I'm sure you somehow guess it would come to his. In this new world, humanity's darkest side, some far more disgusting than what these men have shown is bound to pop up all over the place."
The rest couldn't help but grip their weapons tightly, as Apple clenched her fists and tried to even our her breathing as Luna continued, "See, even the most vile of monsters would look pitiful when they get caught by people stronger than them. The more cunning ones would try to play off of your sense of pity, and when you let them go, they'll come back to either kill you, or kill those close to you."
Hearing this, the group of thugs started shaking their heads and pleading with their eyes.
"I'm not going to force you guys to kill, but if you can't show m--" but before he could finish his speech, Luna was suddenly interrupted. "CHAIN LIGHTNING!" Apple suddenly sent an arc of electricity that chained to 5 of the thugs tied up, one tick of damage was enough to kill the five, then she stopped before it chained to the rest, leaving five charred corpses.
"Apple, you.." the gang was shocked as it all happened too fast. Apple bowed slightly as she said, "I will not hesitate. I will not take the risk of possibly losing my brother or my new friends. I promise I won't be a liability, but an asset to our survival in this new world. I promise I won't bully the innocent no matter how strong I get, but I won't be so naive either. "
Luna couldn't help but walk up to Apple, put his hand on her shoulder, and nodded in approval.
The rest followed suit, Luna, Sura, Mabini, and Boni who borrowed an Itak Tagalog, beheaded the other four. They made their deaths quick and painless.
Maria and Clara walked towards Eduardo, crossed their blades by his neck, and after looking at the panic and tears in his eyes, sliced his head right off. The whole team had blood sprayed over them.
It was like a baptism of blood into the new world.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
