《Battlefield NYC (LitRPG Apocalypse)》Chapter 18: Reflections on the Enemy (?)
Advertisement
These bastards weren't just trying to kill him, after all. They wanted everyone else dead too. That meant something even deeper, somehow darker and scarier was going on here. Was this a cult? A group of religious fanatics who believed in some sort of apocalypse scenario involving the System and the world ending?
No, it couldn't be that. If they were like that then they wouldn't have attacked in such an indiscriminate way—they would have taken aim at specific people first, maybe go for the ones with high status points or whatever, before moving onto their next victim.
It had to be something with the System. Lance refused to believe that so many normal people had suddenly become insane.
So why hadn't he or Sophie been affected? Well, there wasn't really much point asking that now anyway: if they got out alive they could always look into that later when things had calmed down again. Right now though, what mattered more than anything was keeping himself safe while he tried to figure out how he should approach this situation. What was he supposed to do about this new batch of crazed ability-toting lunatics? He didn't even know where they'd come from, nor did he know who was behind them, or even why they were doing all of this.
Okay, maybe it was too early to assume they were hostile. Many of them had been so far, but a few--like those two weird policemen--were still safe. Maybe these guys would be too.
That thought was part of the reason why he was going to try to get a better handle on these people by trying to communicate with one of their number instead of just fighting them like everyone else seemed to be doing.
Lance stood up from his seat and walked over towards the door of the room; the last time he had seen anyone move outside the hallway, it had been the cops. Whoever came through here next could potentially be friendly: after all, if not then he could always kill them as soon as they tried violence on him. And it would come down to violence if peace didn't work, he knew that. No use risking escaping for them to attack him again later on, or worse yet, have someone more dangerous than themselves show up and start killing innocent victims all around town.

If there were any other innocent victims still alive, that was.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
