《My Story in the Otherworld》Chapter 18
Advertisement
While I was tailing the 4 of them, Ryze let out a hand motion and then immediately, Janna and Lionel went the opposite direction. While I wanted to follow them, I remembered that Lionel was the spy so I decided to continue tailing Ryze and Viktor.
During our travel, Ryze and Viktor started to disguise themselves. When they were done, their new identities became an old man with gray hair who looked around 60 and a young man with black hair that looked like he was around 20.
After a couple of minutes, we arrived at a big inn that almost resembled a 3 star hotel back on Earth. It had 2 floors, the first most likely being the dining room and the 2nd floor being the rooms. Next to the front door was 2 soldiers guarding the door. After looking at each other and nodding, Ryze and Viktor entered the inn. I decided to stay outside to wait for them as it would suspicious if I went in around the same hour as them.
About an hour of waiting later, two extremely familiar men bursted out of the inn. They were the 2 bodyguards that were protecting Varin, the young noble that I scolded yesterday.
They were looking around frantically as if looking for something most likely their young master.
It seems that the two succeeded. Many more guests started to come out due to confusion and I also saw the disguised face of Ryze and Viktor. They started to use the crowd to move away, but I saw them. In order to see who they would kidnap next, I followed them back into the house.
When they went back inside the house and into the room, I immediately looked a crack they left open. When I looked through the doors, they were taking out a red crystal and Ryze closed his eyes. After a couple of seconds, the red crystal started to glow. A couple of seconds after it started to glow, a female voice started to come out.

"Lionel betrayed us. He was a spy for the government. I'm being chased by at least 10 soldiers. Fortunately, I found a hiding space a couple of minutes ago. However, I think I'll be found within the next couple of minutes. I'm probably not going to make it so I just want to say I love you Dad and thank you so much for taking care of me and taking me in when I was in despair. Let the Kingdom of Piton fall!" The red glow became dimmer and dimmer until the crystal went normal again. I deduced that this was a communications crystal.
'That's one shitty phone,' I thought.
Ryze was standing there with a baffled expression. After a while, his tears started to come out and he broke down. Viktor just started to watch and I saw something that sent chills down my spine.
He was smiling.
He looked down towards Ryze with the most evil grin I have ever seen my entire life and started to walk towards him. Ryze did not make a move and just kept on crying.
He kneeled and started to pat Ryze's shoulder as if to comfort him. I was thinking that the smile came from my imagination, but as soon as I thought that, a dagger appeared in his hands and with a swift motion, it stabbed Ryze where his heart was.
Puchi!

"Agh!!!" Due to Ryze letting his guard down, he could not even react for Viktor's second swing.
Puchi!
-450
Ryze finally fell over and a pool of blood started to form.
"Why...?" Ryze asked weakly.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" At his question, Viktor started to laugh like a maniac. "Remember who I am Mr. Ryze! I am a killer. A psycho! What makes you think my heart will change. When I first saw you, you were my role model, but you became weak! WEAK! ALL BECAUSE OF THAT FILTHY GIRL! Good riddance! Well I hope you guys see each other in Hell! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

While Viktor was laughing, Ryze took his last breath.

His eyes became still and I saw no signs of life.
I immediately left the house and started to throw up.
Urgh!
The eyes, the blood, the circumstances, the killer's motive. Everything just hit me like a rock and I was shaking. Sure, I killed bears and demons, but the feeling of it was much different to seeing the death of a fellow human. Furthermore, a human that seemed to die while grieving of his daughter's death. I immediately thought in that moment to avenge Ryze even if he was a criminal that kidnapped and murdered many. He was still human. Although, he was scum, he deserves to have some sort of peace.
As I went back in and looked back into the crack, I saw that Varin was somehow sitting on a chair tied up.
"Mmph, mmph," While struggling, Varin tried his best to signal Viktor to have some sort of mercy, but seeing this Viktor started to laugh more.
"Fear me, young noble for your fear is the thing that feeds me. It's going to be fun torturing you, killing you and dicing you into pieces. Ohhhhhh, I can already feel your blood dripping down my face! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
As Viktor was about to slice down on Varin's right arm, I immediately burst into the room.
Viktor looked at me shocked and I used this to my advantage. I immediately used Draw II to create a wind blade.
Although he was shocked, Viktor had good reflexes. He dodged the wind blade and went behind Varin holding a knife to his neck.
"So who are you?" Viktor asked with an evil grin that looked like he did not care.
"Someone that will burn you into ashes!" I roared while getting into my fighting stance.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
