《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosiac (Ch.47)
Advertisement
It was ten in the morning when I walked on the balcony. I looked at Stanley Peplinski's deserted house and saw Hansen's empty house. I remembered Hansen's words, "An old man fears death more than anything. In his old days, he becomes religious..."
Since I had witnessed Satan, I had prayed to God more than I usually did.
"…and he rarely believes anything which hasn’t got a word God in it."
Yes, I don’t believe what hasn’t His name in it.
"The old man remembers his past days, his crimes, works of his in adulthood and his sins."
All the morning I had been doing the same thing.
"The old man fears that he cannot remember what good he has done for he has got a weak memory. Good things can be forgotten easier than the bad ones."
What good have I done till now? I looked down from there.
"He then begins to think if his sins have outnumbered good deeds."
I climbed the barricade. This time it was very easy for me.
I looked around and took a long breath, "You were right, Ben, I fear my sins. I fear them." I recalled the massacre.
Now all I needed to do for repenting was to take a step in air and let gravity do the rest. I had heard, suicide is an unforgivable sin but killing a guilty accused of unforgivable crime is glory.
I was the one who was responsible for hundreds of innocent deaths – an unforgivable crime in its own. I had taken pride in killing adversaries for all my life but innocent killings had outnumbered my glory.
I couldn’t do justice to the deceased and my sins had outnumbered the glory.
But I still had a chance of removing a guilty man – myself.

"I will not burn in hell for killing myself. I will go to purgatory for having removed an unforgivable sinner." I heard my voice in my head. I was no more desiring of heaven.
"I have done crime and if I punish myself from my life then I will have glory…again." I closed my eyes for about a minute and prayed to God. I remembered the child, Satan, Russian Blue and Dormer.
BEEP!
The sharp sound of horn made me open my eyes. There was a car on the road and a couple of men in there were urging me not to jump.
I won't listen to anyone.
"Father!" a familiar voice filled my ears.
Joey came out of the car in a wheelchair. Father could walk but his son had been paralyzed. I believed it to be price for someone's good. The child had given back my legs but had taken Joey's.
"Father, don’t do what you are up to. I'm back!" he yelled at me.
I was about to take a step –
"Please don’t. We will talk and sort this out. Please don’t."
I have no reason to listen to Joey. He isn't the godly child. I am inches away from leaping.
I paused, thinking Joey isn't the divine child. But he is my own child, "He may not be the divine child but he still is my child." I take a deep breath, still, with no voice coming out of my mouth.

Triple Strength
Wiremu was a young level 1 Hunter when his village was raided by Imperial Slavers. If he was destined to live his life as a slave then he would kick that destiny into Troll shit and make his own. Triple Strength is a LITRPG world where the three categories of attributes are Physical, Mental and Spiritual. Follow Wiremu and Tabitha as they learn and grow. Or maybe they become slaves and the story ends early. Probably not. This was written for fun and shared for the same purpose. If you are not having fun, move on. However, if you have any ideas about how to improve the fun, please comment. There will NOT be regular updates. There will instead be irregular postings of multiple chapters at a time.

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.
