《Warfare Between Lost Hearts》Episode Twenty-one: Fallen

“Now it’s my turn”, said Jeffery as he jumped from the tree he was watching. He took a deep breath and put his two hands on the ground with his left leg bent and his right leg straight at his back like a marathon about to begin.
In his head, a gunshot rang as he imagined being in a race he participated in when he was in training for the military. Full of determination as well as his eyes shining in excitement, he kicked a tree root that gave him a boost for a sprint. He silently ran towards his subordinates that were apprehended.
“I got one flag ma’am from the one that tried to tie me down… I need those three more”, He spoke on the transceiver and rushed on.
On the other hand, the three men that were guarding the four Ciphers just sitting on every side of the tall tree.
“Echo, come in. Have you apprehended the remaining one? Over”, asked Leroy while speaking to their radio transceivers, “Echo, come in.”
“You guys don’t know who you tried to mess with”, Teased Goyo giggled with a smirk of hope and satisfaction.
“That’s right… you guys are done for.”
“Alright, Jay! Go get him”, Ordered Leroy and signaled him to go to the woods.
He stood with his masculine body, Jay rushed towards the woods in search of the young assassin. Then he listened very carefully to the faint noise coming from the bushes and trees expecting a rustle indicating Jeffery’s movements. As of now, he heard nothing but rustles from the blow of the artificial wind that was generated by the field dome. The audiences that were once cheering while watching Cipher’s near defeat, are now watching quietly for the intense event that was happening. He reached the tall tree where his ally Echo, was hanging from a branch. He was unconscious and tied down really carefully. Jay noticed the grass and leaves on the ground destroyed in a line, indicating that someone sprinted there. He also sees another set of tracks just a few meters from the first one. He assumed that it was Echo’s track so he followed the first one.

He followed the tracks and it ended at the end of the forest, back at where his allies were guarding the four Ciphers.
“What the hell?”, Jay was so confused after finding out that Leroy and Arl, both of his teammates were tied down on the tree the same way the four were tied, “They are unconscious. He must’ve assaulted them while I was away. He was already there, fuck it.”
Suddenly, a large rock fell on his head, he was so sturdy that the rock broke down to half. He turned around seeing Goyo and Veril holding large rocks.
“Veril… it didn’t work…”
“Yes… I can see that.”
Jay laughed hysterically and crushed a rock and broke it with his own head.
“You gonna need more than that puny pebbles to bring me down”, Suddenly, two feet hit him between his thighs, making him squeal in pain and a felt a sudden jolt behind his neck, making him fall unconscious.
“That was just a diversion, big fella!”, Said Jeffery, clenching his fists with a smirk on his face.
“Oh come on! You missed the chance to call him the incredible fella”, complained Renz as he tied the big guy’s legs tight with metallic ropes that they bring for safety reasons.
“He is not THAT incredible so why bother?”, replied Jeffery while scratching his head for no reason.
“Yeah, I agree with Jeffery”, said Veril while picking up more stones to throw at Jay to confirm he was unconscious. “Yepp, he is dead”.
“Wait what?!”, Renz then checked the guy’s pulse after tying him down. Renz sighed in relief when he felt the pulse on his wrists.
“He was just kidding”, Rocky said, picking up Jay’s flag. “Ma’am, we got all four! We gonna win this.”

The Cipher audiences sighed in relief after the great news they heard, as well as Rhianna who was watching beside Nix.
“Thank goodness, we’re gonna win this,” said Rhianna as she almost jumped out of excitement poking Nix’s cheeks.
“We can’t be sure, they still have one more flag left to complete the challenge. After that, they still need to run back to Cipher’s fort and with all the flags down”, Cutted by Nix while he blocked Rhianna’s poking.
On the Cipher’s fort, Keisha still couldn’t get to rest after obtaining the fourth flag.
“We still need one more. And I can’t see the fifth one”, Keisha seemed so restless at the time she didn’t see the fifth one coming out of the forest. “Jeffery, do you have an idea where the last one is?”
“Never saw him ma’am”, Jeffery replied as he threw a stick on a bush.
Everyone looked at where he threw it and noticed that there were tracks of what possibly the fifth member of Utopians went by. They gave all the flags to Jeffery and started sprinting towards the Cipher’s fort.
“Everyone, go find the last one. Jeffery will be in charge with the flags”, ordered Keisha as she pointed out some directions where the Utopian could’ve escaped to.
Jeffery was sprinting with almost his breath almost running out. He was moving non stop when his allies were captured. His sight was turning in different colors from the heat of the temperature. He feels his legs were about to feel like he drove a bicycle across a mountain. He pants vigorously while he thirsts for some water to refill his energy.
He was about to approach a lake when suddenly something moved from the water and grabbed his left leg and threw him to the tree like a doll. Then it grabbed his foot and twisted his ankle. Jeffery shrieked in pain as he tried to recognize the one who assaulted him. It was the fifth member of Utopians wearing a dog tag with someone who’s named Tegart, S. Suddenly, the Utopian punched him really hard on his chin, making his body feel paralyzed.
“Rocky! A-anyone… by… the lake…”, He fell unconscious and was thrown to the dashing lake with his arms tied.

The Wandering God
First 22 chapters or so are undergoing editing Experiencing a lonely death. Yearning for a love that never came. Engraved with the curse of solitary. Death and rebirth, Rising from the ashes, he vowed. This time i will live to the fullest ! Rated Mature for Blood scenes & possibilities of : slight gore ( 14+). TWG is mostly a light, slice of life read with tints of emotional touches. The story will be easy going and it will lack suspense & battles, since the mc is very OP for a long time. The Harem tag, I can assure you it won't pass 3. This is a Xuanhuan [ Eastern Fantasy ] with a slight deviation to the Xianxia [ Immortal Hero ] genre. It however, breaks away from ordinary Xianxia/Huan tropes with the Mc's strength being over the top since the start. Also, I must warn you that I would never include an R18 scene.

An instant is all that's needed to change a persons life. A single encounter. A single desire can bring together many people to change the world. One thought. From the moment humanity began its course of self-destruction, there were those who desired to change the world for the better. To stop the harm to their planet, and themselves, a group of people came together and formed a world from their imaginations.

They would pull the people from their world in groups, and until everyone was gone, every month more people would be brought to this new world. An unfamiliar world. An unfamiliar people. An unfamiliar system. I never expected to write a LITRPG, or an Isekai, and I'm not confident I can do it well, but I liked writing the first chapters, so I'm gonna try my best! Also, I don't recommend reading it on mobile.
