《RE: Choice》Chapter 16-2 - Childhood - Beck
Advertisement
Something inside my mind tugs me to ignore both of them.
"My name isn't Boris or Michael. You got the wrong person."
I say and walk off.
"Wait! Please come with me for your own sake!"
"Come with you? Hah! You probably gather those slaves so you can sell them yourself on the black market."
I ignore them and keep walking. What's with them? Are they both trying to kidnap me because I look like a slave? I need to get this choker off as soon as possible. But how am I going to do that…? I don't have any money and have no idea where I'm going. Hmm… I should probably check the alleys or somewhere less crowded. I'm bound to find some people by themselves I can extort.
I go in the first alley I come across that leads into a dead end. Who designed this crappy place… Why is there this empty space here in between three buildings…? I turn around and go back toward the main street. I follow the road endlessly not knowing where I'm going.
At some point, I hear screaming close by. A moment later, I see a young man wearing a metal choker run into my view from the cross street. He has a bloody dagger in his right hand.
"Get out of my way!"
He yells as he pushes through a group of people. I smile. Did he kill his master too? Who's that? I notice someone running after the slave. He's wearing a full set of armor and carries a sword in his right hand. He's fast! He catches up to the slave in a few seconds and slashes his back.
"Gah!"
The man drops his dagger and falls to the ground. Oh, shit… The armed man doesn't finish off the guy on the ground and just stands there.
"Isn't that Beck? He's doing a nice job as always."
I hear someone say around me.
"Hey, Beck! There's another slave over here!"
I feel a chill go down my back as the armed man turns toward me. His eyes meet mine. Oh, shit!
What should I do…?

Riposte
Noël is known across the city of Portland—and not by choice. Under the care of the richest man in the city and just transferred to a new high school, she's already making close friends... and bitter enemies. A chance encounter on her first day plunges her headfirst into a secret underground tournament. Between suspicious classmates and utter strangers, Noël soon gets a taste for the addictive rush of the duel, but questions of love and trust complicate every move she makes. Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it! Full-size cover art [Discord] - come hang out and chat sometime with etzy and other readers!

Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
