《The Forsakens》The Punishment
Advertisement
Sakar was given his belongings while he was leaving. He just followed the swaggering arse of the president on the way. They reached the school campus' entrance. Olga and Kepyun were waiting right there. The president waved at them meaning to follow her. They went to her room. She calmly and elegantly sat on her chair. Even her way of sitting slowly was erotic. Both Sakar and Olga were mesmerized by the demeanor she displayed. Kepyun was immune to her charm as you may have already guessed. But even he was respectful toward her.
This was the very first time they witnessed this. The president's way of erotism was gone instantly. She placed both hands in a reverse position under her chin while her elbows were on the table. Her eyes lost all the light of erotism.

-Olga's Mind-
Is this killing intent? What is this? My body is shuddering. Oh my god! This is even stronger than Freya! How can someone like that exist? She did release that much killing intent easily. How strong she is? I have faced too many killing intents but not something like that! This feels like it runs through my veins. Please stop... I can't handle that.
-Sakar's Mind-
Noooooo! Please don't lose the holy light of erotism! This feeling feels like destroying me. Let me look at those eyes...
What is this? I can't move. I can't speak. No matter how much I try, I can't... It feels suffocating. I can really die at a moment's notice if I could move, I feel it.
-Kepyun' Mind-
Woaw, this is good. Even though she doesn't have enough muscle, how can she release that much killing intent? It is like a liquid, that moves through even my bones. I feel the danger of death at every cell of my body.

I can't move. Why? Why? Why? Think, Kepyun! Think! Think!
I found it! This must be 'hidden muscle'! Just because I don't see doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. So the president has hidden muscle. But that is absurd, everyone should show off with their muscles.

They dropped at the same time. Their knees hurt with the speed of their drop. Only after they dropped the president shouted.
The president: "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU BASTARDS ARE DOING?"
None of them were able to speak.
The president: "IS THIS WHY WE EDUCATED YOU? TO BRING DESTRUCTION?"
None of them were able to speak.
The president: "What you are feeling right now is just a glimpse of what I can do."
Their hands dropped to the ground. They were hardly staying conscious. Their world got blurry by every second passed. It was getting harder to breathe for them. Olga managed to utter just one word with a really faint sound: 'Please...'.
The president got surprised: "Did you really spoke just now?"
She collected her killing intent. She has done that earlier than she planned.
The trio somehow relaxed and they breathed heavily non-stop for a few seconds. After like thirty seconds Olga managed to answer her.
Olga: "Yes, I did."
The president: "So you managed to break through my killing intent. You must have been through these kinds of things. I remember now, the officials handed you over to this school mentioned how terrible events have happened to you. Your resistance must have been the result of those."
Olga: "Yes, I have been through things like that but this was extremely intense."
Kepyun: "This must be hidden muscle!"
All the others in the room turned at him: "Hidden muscle?"

Kepyun: "Hidden muscle, I realized that the president has hidden muscles so she locks us from afar."
Olga slapped her forehead, Sakar began to laugh, the president was dumbfounded. There has been a silence in the room.
Kepyun was the one to break the silence again: "Miss Sorella, you shouldn't hide your muscles! Muscles are the things that humans should show off."
She was dumbfounded even further, Olga just gave up, she felt cringy. This was a shame felt for another person. This was something new to her. Sakar was laughing so loud even dropped to the ground.
The president: "So this is why they call you 'Muscle Brain'."
The president: "Sakar, I can see that you are checking the underskirt of Olga faking it like you dropped to the ground caused by laughing. This must be the reason why they call you; 'Dick Brain'. Did you think mere camouflage of your act can deceive me? I feel offended since I am here and you are looking at her."
The president: "Olga, even though I stated that he is looking at you, you still stand like nothing happened. Do you enjoy that? This must be the reason why they call you 'Pure Flasher'."
Sakar got up instantly after she told those things to him. Olga refuted.
Olga: "What? Who calling me that? There is no such thing!"
The president: "You are always flying around and always wearing miniskirts. People watch you and you don't care. What did you think they would name you?"
Olga: "I just don't care! That doesn't mean I flash!"
The president: "If you don't care about what people think or see then you shouldn't also care about the nickname you are given."
Olga lost the debate. She didn't go further.
Kepyun: "Thank you, Miss President."
Except for Sakar, they weren't comprehending the situation. There may have been many reasons for someone to thank her but except for Sakar, none of them guessed the reason right. The president thought that he thanked for letting them go with a small punishment, Olga thought the same. But Sakar knew it.
The president: "Why did you thank me, Kepyun? You don't even know your punishment yet."
Kepyun: "Because you called me muscle brain. Even though I am yet to turn my brain into muscle, thanks for the compliment."
The president: "That was not a compliment."
Kepyun: "A sentence that has the word 'muscle' in it. How can it be a thing other than a compliment? Hearing this from someone who has mastered the way of hidden muscle makes me prideful."
The president lost the debate. She didn't go further.
Sakar: "I agree with my nickname. I think with my bottom and I am fine with it."
The president: "I knew you were a shameless one but not to that level."
"I am now announcing your punishment!"
"Sakar, you will enlist in the fighter course, Kepyun, you will enlist in the botanic course, Olga, you will enlist in the flower arrangement course."
Sakar: "There are really few girls in fighter course!"
Kepyun: "Botanic has nothing to do with muscle!"
Olga: "Flower arrangement is for ignorant princesses!"
The president smiled: "I knew you would hate that, that is why this is called a punishment."
Sakar: "How about sit-ups? My dreams? My expectations?"
The president: "Kepyun, sit on Sakar's legs, he will do 50 sit-ups."
Sakar: "Noooooooooo..."

Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it!

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
