《Welcome To Terminus》Chapter 26 - Can't these morons just die?
Advertisement
Matt didn't waste any time. He needs to finish these uglies quickly. He doesn't have time to collect information. He needs to know about them while fighting. Otherwise, it will be too late.
So, again he raised his blade and slashed towards the five uglies, and this time he used 'Ceaseless Slaughter', and the shield burst into pieces. Just like he thought. Only magic can slash magic.
Ceaseless Slaughter: A powerful magical slash attack against multiple enemies. Inflicts 200% damage in a 50*4 yard in a cone in front of you. Cooldown: 12 seconds
"GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" The awakened growled in anger when it saw its shield bursting. All the other four ran from behind him and all of their targets were Matt.
Matt again raised his blade and used the 'Lone Slaughter Technique'. This was the first time he was using this technique. A transparent single straight airy line came out of his blade and went towards the awaken who was nearest.
Lone Slaughter: A powerful physical slash attack against a Single target and causes 300% damage to the target. Cooldown: 3 seconds
Awaken saw something coming towards it so it hurriedly stepped away but it was still a little late and then he felt something struck him. It didn't feel any pain but it also didn't feel any shockwave.
It just felt that it struck something but then it heard a thud. He silently looked downwards and saw a hand fallen on the ground.
It was confused.
It raised its head and looked towards its right arm and found it gone. It was so cleanly cut that it didn't even know what happened.
The other three who saw this scene didn't stop.
No.
They increased their speed.
Matt also didn’t stop and again slashed his blade and this time he used ‘Illusory Slaughter’ and again a single airy straight line came out of his blade and went towards the awaken but this time the line was in red color. It was bloody red. Making chill crawl down on everyone's spine who saw it.

Illusory Slaughter: A powerful magical slash attack against a Single target and causes 300% damage to the target. Cooldown: 6 seconds
But this time awakens were prepared and they just slowly tilted their body and the attack passed by.
Now, Matt knew all of the four attacks he used and how they looked like.
Awaken got near Matt and without wasting any time the one nearest punched towards him ruthlessly. His intention was cut and clear. It wanted to kill the kid before anyone and call the dibs on it.
Matt didn’t do anything. He just stood and the moment punch was near to him he side-stepped, bend down, and then jumped back and the punch brushed past him.
The awakens were fast but he could clearly see them. No, he could predict their moves before they even took them.
Prediction: Predict the upcoming attack or danger somewhat. Cooldown: None.
Matt didn’t let such a good pass by. He raised his blade and ruthlessly slashed towards the head of the awaken but out of nowhere a black shield came and his blade attack stopped.
From the moment awaken start running to the moment shield came to protect the awaken, only three seconds passed.
Matt smirked.
As he thought. Only the leader of the group has the technique and he only has one which was the defensive type. And it has a cooldown limit of 3 seconds.
But the main problem was that the enemies were five and he was alone. The moment his attack was stopped. The awaken which was the second nearest to him attacked.
It didn’t punch like the one before. It kicked. Ruthlessly. Trying to crush Matt’s head with his kick.
While the third one went in the opposite direction. Closing his chances to move away. Now Matt has only one way to dodge which was to go back as the one who was in front also raised his hand to punch.

Matt calmly looked at the scene. If he panicked then the game will be over for him. So, he slowly whispered "Slaughterer Domain." And blinked.
He disappeared from his position. The two punches and the kick struck each other and all the three awakens took one step back.
Slaughterer Domain: Within 50 m User can disappear and reappear anywhere. Suppress all enemies within the domain, reducing their Reaction Speed by 70%, Ignore Defense by 30%, Attack Speed by 50%, Movement Speed by 50% for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour.
“GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR….” The leader of the group suddenly growled angrily when he saw Matt disappearing and reappearing behind the awaken who got his hand cut.
It couldn’t do anything as it watched Matt penetrate his blade, clean and clear in the awakens head from behind. The awaken who lost its hand didn't even know what happened before it lost its life.
It was waiting for the chance to take revenge and saw the kid disappearing and then everything went blank.
The three awakens hurriedly made a circle when they heard a long angry growl.
Matt on the other hand clicked his tongue in annoyance. Couldn’t they wait a little longer to find a solution? Maybe enough for him to kill one or two more.
But he didn't care as he again blinked and came directly in front of the leader and ruthlessly slashed his blade and used 'Illusory Slaughter', a single magic attack with 300% damage.
A red line passed but the awaken was also ready as it put a shield in front of him. The red line clashed with the shield and like a paper shield was cut cleaned but the attack also vanished with it.
But Matt wasn't disappointed as he again slashed his blade and used 'Lone Slaughter', a single transparent airy line passed and this time awaken couldn't do anything. So, it growled "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…." and sidestepped and without batting an eye sacrificed its left hand.
Matt again just shook his head. Can't these morons just die? He hurriedly blinked and came in front of the awakens who were now in a circle and slashed his blade but this time he used 'Ceaseless Slaughter' and from his blade, a bloody red wind gale came and the wind was carrying thousands of beastly faces and like horrifying beasts, they went to eat the three standing awakens.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero
No, my name’s not Doug. I lied. Waking up in this hospital bed and right away I’m being questioned. They say I’m a hero, saved some girl. I don’t remember any of that.
