《The Colour Chronicles》Chapter 24 - Missions
Advertisement
Uh what. I have sinned? What did I do?
You slaughtered a town.
I didn't? Just the few that were there.
You killed everything that was alive in that town.
The surroundings change and I see the town from a bird eyes position. There's corpses everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
Did I do that? I don't remember doing that.
The Sin System decided on a mission based punishment.
What? Missions?
The Sin System has the following rules:
Don't tell anyone about the Sin System. Don't lie. Follow the missions. If the Sin System doesn't like your actions, redo them. Don't kill anyone unless the Sin System tells you to. The rules can and will be changed if the Sin System thinks it's necessary.
Break any of these rules and punishment will be given.
That takes away my free will? Am I now a slave to the system?
Loading in people connected to you.
Do they mean April and the rest? Will they be punished because of me now?
No, no outsider will be punished.
I guess that's a good thing.
Loading first mission.
I wonder what will happen. Oh, the world changes.
Current missions:
Graduate. Don't talk or communicate in any other way.
Wait, no talking at all?
Yes.
But why?
Because the system says so.
This is entertainment for you, huh?
The Sin System will only contact you to inform you of the starting missions.
World fully loaded.
The world that was changing around me finally finished. I think I'm lying down, staring at a white roof. I can't move my head or anything. Off to a great start.
There's really nothing to do but stare at the white roof. I'll head into my soul space instead.
It's still the same castle as before. I liked making it, and I was proud when we finished it. I've never gotten the chance to show April the room I made for her, I couldn't ask her somehow. I wonder if she saw it or not.
I walk to the common room, April made this place with bookshelves on one corner, something she calls a tv in the second corner and a couch with a table in the third corner. She gave the fourth corner to me if I ever wanted to add something.

Are the books real? Let's find out. I head to the bookshelves and pick up a random book.
'Snow White' It has a title, now, can I read it? I open the book and see there's indeed text on the pages.
Are these all the books April has read before?
Time passes quickly, who knew reading could be so fun. I should thank my ex parents for forcing me to learn how to read.
Maybe not, I rather kill them.
I'll head out the soul space for now, maybe I can move something now.
I open my eyes and see someone's face. What a scary thing to wake up to.
The face notices that I'm awake. A hand appears and touches my face. Why is everyone so touchy? I can't move away, so let's just stare until the face dies. I fight the urge to throw up, how else can I stare.
It doesn't get the hint. Instead another hand appears to pick me up. I have this feeling that tells me I'm a baby. That makes it the fourth time for my soul, or maybe more that I don't know of.
Then it holds me up in front of them. You know, this is the perfect time to stop fighting the urge to throw up. And that's exactly what I do.
Ha, the face doesn't look happy anymore, and luckily for me, puts me down.
My soul space is way better than this place. I can't fulfill the missions in there sadly.
It’s boring, I have nothing to do and no one to talk to. This system thing is trying to make me go crazy. I wonder at what point the missions are considered done, and what after?
I haven’t seen any familiar faces around, even though the system said that it loaded in people connected to me, right?
I’m all alone here, it feels horrible. I can’t protect myself, I can’t do anything actually. It’s terrifying, anything could come to hurt me and all I can do is watch.
I’d go to my soul space, but it’s still empty. I feel like there’s a monster in every corner, waiting to come out. I’m happy it’s always day though, if it’s dark I.. I don’t even want to know.

Apparently I’m old enough for something called school now. Not communicating to anyone, I’m going to be lonely. I wonder what falls under communicating, like do I have to avoid gazing at someone?
I step outside with my ‘parents’ and sigh. If they just disappear then everything would be great.
Ah, the world is changing again. Those ‘parents’ did disappear with that.
The whole place is empty, just dark and empty, like a soul space. A big circle appears, just flying in the air. There’s words written between lines and an arrow at the top pointing towards one of the words.
It starts spinning, I wonder what for.
Punishment chosen. Falling for 1 hour.
What?
The empty space changes into a sky, and I fall through what used to be a floor. The sudden change of speed makes my stomach drop, it feels awful. Wind comes from everywhere, and there’s nothing but blue around. There’s nothing to grab onto or to stop myself. I start spinning, making things even worse. It’s nauseating, I’m getting a headache from all this.
How long is one hour even? Am I near the end yet?
It took a while to finish, and now I’m back at the point before I leave the house. What part of the rules did I break? Who made this system so it doesn’t tell what they punish me for?
I’m absolutely going crazy, what am I supposed to do here? These missions are unreasonable.
Can I go out or not, that’s the question. I don’t want another punishment while not knowing what for.
I don't get a chance to find out as my 'parents' pull me out. When will they stop touching me?
They lead me towards some weird thing, it has wheels like a carriage and that's where the similarities end.
Oh, it can open, guess it has another thing in common. 'Dad', the bastard that he is, lifts me up and into whatever it is. Through the years I've managed to hold back on throwing up every time. Lucky for them, since they find every possible excuse to hold me.
'Dad' ties me down to this weird seat, then closes the door.
A door in front of me opens as 'mom' steps in, and a bit later 'dad' does the same on the other side.
Some shuffling and whatever later, this whole thing starts growling and shaking. Is it a monster? Is this thing actually alive?
I start looking at my 'parents' to see any sign that things went wrong. They, however, didn't seem to care.
Since apparently nothing is wrong, let me take this time to describe my 'parents'.
'Dad' has black hair, like mine, in a weird knot on his head. Another thing that's the same is our eye colour, although his seems to be a lot lighter.
He has a stubble as beard. At first I thought he was growing it into a full beard, but after four years it hasn't grown a single time. Poor guy can't grow a beard.
'Mom' doesn't look like me at all with her dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Her hair is slightly wavy as well, is this really my 'mom'?
This thing comes to a stop, no more growling. I saw 'dad' untie himself by clicking a weird red thing, probably a button. I quickly mimic him to avoid being touched again.
Luckily the red button does exactly what I want it to do and I'm free. 'Dad' opens my door and I hop out, avoiding him.
He lets out a confused murmur. "What..?"
So, where do we go now? Around me are things like the thing that brought us here. Different colors and shapes for some, but very much alike anyway.
Surprisingly behind all that are really tall buildings, like with Julie's dream.
How does it stand like that? Shouldn't it fall?
"Come, honey." Ugh, no. I'm not responding to that, no communication limits my options.
I stand there and look around for a bit longer, then turn around to follow my 'parents'. They seem to have expected that, probably because I've always done it this way.
We get to these big open doors, and apparently that's an invite in since they just walk through.
There's little kids everywhere, or well, I guess they're my age now.
'Dad' walks off to who knows where, 'mom' stands still, happily looking around.
So eh, what now?

Quebracho: The Legend of Two Heroes
After a violent and tough battle, you recover in an infirmary with your fellow soldiers, or in a more relatable scenario, visit your friend's house after a hard day of studying. You’d expect that both of them would play out normally for the most part, right? Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal. As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it. Side-Note: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me. New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits. This story is also available on ScribbleHub.

The Experimental Dungeon
Having all your memories erased and be reborn as a baby without any knowledge, or giving the job of managing a Dungeon without being its Core – a very easy decision for everyone, right? Right? Right? “I really should have remembered from all those fanfics and dungeon stories that those ROBs always screw with their mortal playthings” growls Claudia as she checked her Status for the umpteenth time. “How dare that... that...that manipulative thing did this to me… And no matter what extra options he gifts me with, I will NOT use them to create a hentai dungeon or anything like that” This will not be the usual dungeon core-type story found around here, but the main difference will only be explained in chapter 4 by the Dungeon Pixie. Also – despite the warning please don’t expect any explicit scenes in this story. The warnings are there because mature themes will be mentioned (and not only because the Higher Power provided some special options), but the MC is dead set on evading those options as she sees them as traps. So there are no explicit descriptions planned at all. If that changes I will give extra warnings in the chapter title, but I plan on handling things other ways. Later chapters might go a bit farther than the simple mentions in chapter 2, but don’t expect much more. Status Update 04. April 22 Writing Buffer used up, as said before I'm switching to one chapter a week on fridays. The new cover is the second placeholder, but what I really want will have to be commissioned and take a while. At least it is better than the map-part from chapter 4 that was the first placeholder.

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler. (And for the best reading experience I recomend altering your width setting to about 70 or 80 percent on desktop.) Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete. I'll update this figure over time and begin posting again after I finish it and go through several rounds of editing.
