《Playtime》chapter ten

I woke up wrapped up in the covers of the bed. I sit up and see a bandage on my arm. The pain wasn’t there, but then I see the syringe. Of course. I thought. They drugged me. I stand up, feeling the frigid feeling of the wooden floor beneath my bare feet. I stagger over, still feeling lightheaded. I tried to open it; wanting air, I felt like I was suffocating. I clutched the window before pounding. Panic struck me.
“Whoa, whoa.” A voice said catching my attention. “We don’t need you to break the window.” I step back as Seok-Jin opens the window, letting in the cold October air. I take in a breath and felt myself relax.
“So, are you a vampire too?” I ask feeling slightly confident. He chuckles.
“No. There are only two vampires in our group. Taehyung and Namjoon. I’m the Devil.” I tense up at the mention of what he was. He shook his head. “Not literally. I get called that since I’m the most violent and dark.” I cross my arms as he rubs my back.
“For a demon, you sure are friendly.” I say point of factly. He rolls his eyes.
“It’s for Yoongi’s sake.” he states, making me curious.
“Yoongi?” I start. He nods but before he could answer, a beam of bright light hit him. I gasp as I see Angelia appear. Her blond hair hung in her face as her luminescent eyes looked at me kindly.
“Why you little-”
“Ah, watch your language.” she says brushing herself off. “That’s the kind of language that will land you a place next to the devil.” I flinch as I look at Seok-Jin’s face. Emotionless, yet I caught a glimpse of hurt.

“Reality check, lighty.” he said before grabbing her. “I already work alongside with the devil.” She yelps in pain as he tightened his grip. I watched in horror as her wings begin to turn a night black. She tries to pull away, but only manages to hurt herself.
“Please,” I beg. “Don’t kill her.” Seok-Jin gives me a look that said he didn’t care. I look down. “Let me talk to her first.” Seok-Jin released her, and throws her toward me. I grab her and watch him leave with a slam from the door. I look at my angel friend with sympathy.
“Surprise…” she says weakly. I help her to the bed and lay her down, only to have her scream in pain. “It hurts!!” she screams. I hurry to help her to the floor. I felt a bit of annoyance at the fact that she couldn’t touch a single thing in this room.
“What are you doing here?” I ask tapping my foot. I was getting impatient, and frankly annoyed that she’d have to ruin the moment where I was about to get information. She weakly gets up and pats me on the shoulder.
“I came to give you advice.” I give her a blank look. What advice would I seriously need? Sure, I was trapped with seven servants of the Devil, but lately they had all given me my space and respect that I requested. Yoongi had been less violent, but the again, it was when he wasn’t drunk.
“What advice?” I finally asked, curious at what she had found out.
“How to kill Yoongi.” I gasp. A stab of jealousy, protectivness and anger swelled up inside of me. I couldn’t find the strength to kill him. His scarlet eyes had made a mark on me. I lost myself in his gaze; the gaze that started the whole thing. His cold exterior was what drew me to him. He was mysterious, and I was going to find out what he was hiding.

“No,” I say without thinking. “You aren’t killing Yoongi.” I couldn’t help but glare at her. Her angel exterior didn’t seem so innocent anymore. I shake my head. “Get out.” I turn my back to her. Hate. It filled my soul.
‘That’s right,’ yoongi’s voice echoed in my head. ‘Send her away’. I listened. I wanted to. I needed to. It was like I couldn’t live without his voice in my head.
“What?” she says stunned. “But-”
“I said leave!” I scream chucking a vase. “I don’t want your help anymore.”
“I’ll kill him myself then.” she says. That’s when I snapped. I grab her arm, hurting her. But right now, I didn’t care. I was too pissed to give a crap.
“You kill him, and I’ll kill you.” I say before turning away agian.
I heard rustling before an ‘ow’ and when I turned, I saw my only best friend leave. Yoongi was ruining my life. I sigh and look at the ground. I was about to call for Yoongi when a flashed me in the eyes. Rubbing them, I groan in annoyance as a seal floated in front of me.
Opening it, I silently curse.
“Great. The counsel.”

Kreig Goes Apesh*t (An AU of Returning to No Applause)
An AU of my previous story, Returning to No Applause, that asks the simple question of "What if it all went wrong?" When Kreig first appears on Earth again, after being stranded in another world for 130 years, he finds himself faced with weapons and guns. In a fit of instinct, he accidentally murders one of the many Fighters, causing what can only be described as a massacre to take place. The story that follows this simple premise is completely opposed to the one told before, focusing less on character improvement and more so degradation. It should come as no surprise that I personally recommend reading the OG story before checking this one out, and if you've already done so, great! Swell havin' ya! Any such readers might remember that I mentioned writing a story like this a while back, and... Here we are. This is in no way a continuation or sequel, nor will it be very long. Expect around 15 chapters at most depending on various factors. All and all, the 5-page length will remain the same (apart from chap. 1) and so will the release time, Sundays at 20:30 EST (I think?). All that aside, I sure hope you'll enjoy this! It'll obviously be very different from the OG story, but I personally think that's a good thing. Cheerio!

Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev

Virtual reality: Chaos theory
Rak Devion is a Scion of the Devion family. Scion in this case meaning a descendant of a rich family. Rak like every other human is thrown into the virtual reality named after its creator, Chaos theory. This reality is the artful design, some would say machiniation, of the General Artificial Intelligence Chaos theory. Chaos theory has a singular purpose that has manifested itself in such a way that the world falls into its control but the apocalyptic end never comes and instead a rather dystopian world emerges, one in the form of a virtual reality and the other the changing reality everyone lives in. The story revolves around the experiences of Rak Devion, one of Devion’s family children. He enjoys creating business opportunities and follows the family motto to charge a head and forge new paths.
