《Mutt》Chapter One: Tragedy
Advertisement
In the town of Ruby, where the population of 8,000 residents is only the drop in the ocean compared to the vast world of Terra. Ruby is only a small quiet town located in Southeast Goerges Kingdom of the Tudderlin Continent. As you go through, you can see carriages going in and out of Ruby. As you go towards the Western end, you can see a Church, next to it was a school. Currently sitting in a classroom is 18 year old Marissa with brown hair and eyes alongside other peers her age were all attentively listening to the teacher's lecture.
"Now students, who can tell me the difference between,us, humans and the creatures known as "Crypts."
Teacher Thomas asked as he looked around the quiet classroom while finally landing his sight on Marissa.
Marissa looked up and responded:
" The difference is that humans were created in the image of our Almighty God, while crypts are heretical creatures that have stepped off the path of righteousness and followed the path of betrayal."
"Very good" Teacher Thomas responded while smiling
Ding Ding Ding
Marissa looked up and noticed the ending bell which meant schooling was over. Now she can go home, undress out of her nun outfit, help out at home and play with her mischievious "pet"
"Hey Marissa, do you want to come to the riverside to catch some fish with us?" A group of her friends had asked while walking down the bustling street.
"Not today, we have guests from the church coming and it's going to be busy, father needs my help."
****************************
She lived on a farm with her parents producing crops and meats to distribute through out the town. Today was an important day as the Church and her Dad was going negotiate the yearly taxes. As she walked to the door, she heard;
"If you truly believe in the Almighty God, you'll take this deal, otherwise, we can just find others who will..." Father Froeder said in a very a threatening tone.
As she opened the door, Froeder and two other church members were coming towards her in an imposing atmosphere, she gulped as she couldn't handle it. The three chuch members simply looked and then dismissed her from their sights. She was unhappy and worried about their behavior, so she ran towards her father,Johnson.

"Father, are you and mother okay?!" Her mother, Olive who has brown hair and eyes, smiled and said:
"Of course we're okay, we'll somehow manage."
Marissa looked at both her parents worriedly, while her father just sighed and said:
"I was hoping we could keep the same rate of taxes as last year, even though we can barely afford it, we still get by. But now, with the current drought affecting our crops and animals, we can't afford their new tax! I pray to the Almighty that this situation can improve, otherwise I'll no choice, but to decline again, sigh...."
In the Town of Ruby, the Church was in charge of many procedures, including taxes.
"Father, I believe the Almighty won't fail us, let's just relax" Marissa smiled
Johnson looked at his Daughter and had somewhat of a proud look on his face for having such a strong daughter. She's diligent in her prayers and diligent in her studies. As Marissa was getting ready to go change, Johnson remembered something and said "Oh yes, your "little buddy" stopped by the wood line again. He's probably waiting for you to play, so don't stay out too late."
"Okay!" Marissa said while running towards her room to change.
******************
After a few minutes, she reached the woodline where her pet(best friend) was waiting. As she walked in the woods, it was quiet and creepy with no signs of her friend. As she delved deeper in, she was starting to get scared, the woods had a certain atmosphere to it, quiet, somewhat dark because of the trees,and she was alone.
*Creak* A branch snapped behind, so she hurreidly turned around, as she did, her friend was there...
"AHHHHHH" she screamed and and something jumped on top of her, licking her face. It was her friend, a Morrigon Wolf, Luna, that was abandoned by it's pack as a pup. She had beautiful white fur and eyes that seemed to reflect the very moon itself. Marissa struggled to get up and said:
"Don't do that again, you scared me hald to death!" Marissa playfully patting Luna's fur.
*Gururr* Luna whimpered back
They continued to play until it was about dusk, Marissa had to get so she said her goodbyes to Luna and walk back towards her home.

**********************************
When she reached the edge of the forest, she saw her home on fire, panic written all over her as she ran back screaming
"FATHER, MOTHER!!!" repeatedly
Once she got to the front of the house, she saw both of her parents in a pool blood surrounded by six other silhouettes. She started trembling and panting as her mind was going blank. Walking unsteadily walked toward them, she fell to her knees and started crying..."WHY WHY...WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!" screaming hysterically at the six men.
"Why? Does a family of heretics have the right to ask?" One of the men stepped out, as he did, he became much clearer. Marissa was surprised because the man was her teacher, teacher Thomas and other followers of the church, specifically holy knights!
Marissa couldn't beileve it and asked"Why are doing this?!" as she held her dead mother. Suddenly she grabbed by her father as he was grasping for breath and said "run" weakly before dying. Marissa was lost and confused as she glued to the ground.
"You all have been labeled as heretics, there's no where to run, hah" Thomas said as he gave the go ahead to one of the men following him. The man pointed a crossbow at Marissa, ready to fire. Marissa realizing she was in trouble tried to get up and run, but she felt a sharp pain in her leg. There was an arrow and terror started to fill her face as tears and snot ran down her face "Please, no.... stop this"
"Hahahahahaha, heretics begging for their live is always the best part....well the second best part" one of the men said with a wicked smile. Marissa seeing them smile knew what they was about to do to her. She started hobbling away with all her while the men was laughing. The same man noticed and shot her in her other leg and then walked up to her as she fell and sliced both of her heels.
"AHHHHH" Marissa screamed in pain and couldn't walk anymore.
*SNORT* "You think you can get away?" the man walked toward her with a very disgusting smile on his face as he started unbuckling his pants.The man ripped off her pants and proceeded to rape her. Marissa at this point died inside, completely giving up as she looked at the men with lifeless, cold eyes.
"GROWHOWL!!!!!!" was heard as a big white morrigon wolf had ran towards the man and bit his throat, the man dying on the spot, this was Luna. Marissa saw Luna and felt a glimmer of hope. Luna turned around, picked up Marissa by her shirt and started to run towards the forest. Two of the men shot crossbows at the wolf and managed to hit her.
"Tsk, she got away" as Thomas was unsatisfied with what just transpiredas he heartlessly looked at his dead comrade.
"Don't worry, we managed to hit the wolf with our crossbows. All we have to do is follow blood trail until we catch up, haha" One of the men said.
*Thump* Marissa surprised by the sudden drop looked around as she noticed she was in a cave. She looked back and saw Luna struggling to keep standing. She finally noticed an arrow at the side Luna's neck, she turned pale as she noticed the blood trail left behind and hugged Luna with all her might.
"So you two made it this far, but it's a good place to be your grave" Thomas said as he and his followers walked towards Marissa, as Luna was still in front guarding her.
"I SWEAR I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU, EVEN I HAVE TO BECOME A SPIRIT!!"
"Enough struggling, this is where you'll die. Kill them." Thomas instructed
The other men raised their crossbows and fired all of their arrows into both of them. Luna collapsed on top of Marissa as both of them were riddled with arrows. She knew this was end as she saw Luna lay lifeless on top of her. She had unstable breathing and her eyesight was growing dimmer. She was filled so much madness and hatred. If only....if only she could have a second chance, she would...., but life was cruel....
Thomas watched on as he ordered"Slit their throats and throw them in that small crevice over there. We still need to go back and hide the evidence."
Their throats were slit and thrown into the abyss....

He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
