《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 41: Weird Companions
Advertisement
I was with weird people, yes, definitely weird. But I had to be with them, for the sake of Onee~San. I couldn't trust this Johnny person one bit, he was..... shady. He did all sort of weird acts around Onee~San, so I kept my eyes at him, all the time, to make sure he didn't do anything weird. I would always trail him whenever he went with Onee~San, as he was the one carrying her, as she was still unconscious, but for the most part, her wounds were healed, thankfully. "Don't try anything funny, Johnny...." I would say, yet he would just laugh, and ignore me, because he thought I was simply joking.
"I may not look like it, but I'm 1,253 years old, and my birthday is next week, so don't tempt me, I can still kill you, you know.. I'm here just because of Onee~San, who is 600 years older then me. " and Johnny just continue laughing hysterically. "The day you kill me will be the day I call you Hui~San, if that day ever comes, that is. If you think you can kill me, Hui~San , why not do it now? I'm ready whenever you are." and I simply sighed, blowing my hair from my face. He always pissed me off.
Hazen was cooler then him. He would always be either on his phone, the moment he has a chance of snatching it from Johnny, and he always just had this 'aura' which made him just simply.... interesting. He couldn't be leashed, and would do whatever he wanted to, no matter how many times Johnny would beat him, or punch him, he just continued doing that, until, one day, Johnny decided to be prepared in case he would attack, and Hazen wasn't even able to touch the pocket where the phone rested. "You still haven't earned a single yen yet, Hazen~San, what are you going to do 'bout that, huh?" and he would just whistle, saying, "Oh... oh... nevermind..." and would walk away. We were travelling towards the imperial castle, yet the trek was far and vast, and we would usually spend the day fighting others. We never had the actual chance to enjoy a day , so I asked Johnny if we can rest, just for this one day.

He then sighed, "Alright, Hazen, you lead the way." and he showed a big grin on his face, and then started leading us amidst the Jungle. I instantly shot Johnny a piercing gaze, grabbed Juni from his shoulder saying, "For today onwards, you will not hold Onee~San, I'll keep her with me.... wait.... why is she so..... heavy?" and Johnny had to explain it , in the most confusing way possible. "Listen to me carefully. At the current, Juni is around 400 pounds, which is about 200 kilos. I've already checked, and proved that an average Harpy has a weight of 20 kilograms, but since I decided not to use Yagrik for such a miniscule task, I thought to use my Mei instead, so I put her in a Mei-dense area, such that her wounds would heal quicker, which in turn, seeped into her body, and the extra Mei, rather than flowing out, changed itself into body fat, but the fat-Mei cells were extremely small, which made about 100 cells of those , the size of one fat cell, but with the same weight (each cell) , so she would appear slim, but in reality, she is very fat. This is also due to yada yada yada yada yada yada yada ," and he kept on blabbering on about physics, chemistry, biology, Mei-Studies, SE-studies, and all that nonsense, so I just shoved her back on his shoulder, saying, "I'll be watching you, mister." and gave him the cold look.
"Alright, we are going, we are going, we are going, to... THE HOT SPRINGS! Let's go! " and then we continued going on, in the middle of the jungle, and Johnny seemed reluctant, waiting for Hazen to act out the killer scene in Johnny's head. It happened. "Wait... we are in the middle of a jungle, how the hell will we go to the hot springs," and Johnny sighed, sighed a good ol' relief sigh. "Now you realize, Hazen~San , no , Hazen , that we are in the middle of a jungle, couldn't you have simply asked me to create a place? I can use our rift, if need be, and just put dolls in our place, or none at all, your call, Hui. " And I thought for a moment, but I refused, after I realized it was His rift we are talking about, there he could do whatever he wishes, especially with Onee~San. In the end, we decided to use my rift , instead. " It's a bit small, I don't really use this. " it was comfy, however. The place had a small teaset, and in the corner, or as I like to call it, The Corner of Hate, stood my SE, which I locked in a container, and then sealed with chains, because I vowed never to use it, no matter what the situation.

Since I wasn't very adept in Magical skills, I asked Johnny to create it, and gave him the power of controlling my rift, for only a few minutes, to allow him to create the spa we would be in, for a day. He himself expanded my rift, in a way I didn't know how, because the rift was connected directly with the soul. I then had a very hideous thought, but forgot about it the instant later. I payed special attention to the bathing rooms, and just to satisfy me, he made the walls of both room with soundproof patting, and the barrier between men and women, 5 meters thick, just for precautions, I said. We then sperated , and took a bath, it felt refreshing. Onee~San was still unconscious, and I knew I had alot of explaining to do. I could hear a muffled snickering from the boys side, and I couldn't tell why. "Really, though, we shouldn't joke about it." Hazen~San had said, and Johnny agreed, nodding. I was able to see this, because I noticed a hole in the wall, which shouldn't be there.
With killer intent, he gazed over to the direction I was at, and I hid my head. "I know you are there , Hui, come out, and stop staring at us," Johnny said, but Hazen put his hand down, the one with the knife, saying, "No one is there, right?" and to make sure of it, Johnny threw the knife. I couldn't help but yelp, and the screech was intense , short, and very high pitched, like a normal Harpy. "That all the proof you need, Hazen ? " and he rolled his eyes, "Stop saying it like that, anyways, Hui, why are you watching us, and you thought we were the ones with problems." the last part was a bit quieter."
After bathing, While dressing Onee~San, she woke up, and chopped me on the head. "Sorry, I thought you were some perverted freak. Anyways, Hui~Chan, what are we doing here? " and I made her sit, took a deep breath, and took it from the top. She seemed confused.
"Okay..... he didn't do anything though, right? Anyways, I think we should ditch them now, I'm recovered, anyways." and I felt the need to agree with her. "We should, we have no more business here, and we would simply make Trine~Sama angry." and I started preparing for leaving, when they showed up. "I thought we had a deal, Hui, what happened to it? Just because I fulfilled my part of the deal, doesn't mean you have to break your side, I'll kill you, first Juni, so you can feel suffer. This can all stop, just finish your part of the deal, and then you are free to leave, heck, I'll even give you supplies." and I was about to say no, but Onee~San interjected me. "Okay, we will abide to the terms my sister told you to. After that , we will leave, in peace." she then sent me a sign, and I followed her.
"What the hell were you thinking, Hui? We are getting a safe passage to escape, and all we have to do is lead them to the imperial castle." and I felt bad, once again. "Sorry Onee~San, I just felt lonely, and I don't trust these guys, no matter how much you will try to console me." and Juni felt bad too, as she started sulking. "Sorry, Hui~Chan, let's just forget about this, okay?" and I replied with a nod.
We then regrouped outside of my rift, and were ready to leave. "Yoshi! Ikuza!" Hazen said, and he started tredding forward, before realizing he had no idea where he was going. He then fell back, and I saw a smile on Onee~San's face, a smile I haven't seen for centuries. I smiled too, and we went to lead them to the imperial castle of Trine~Sama.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Candle burning in the dark
This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
