《The Last Demon : Against The World》Tale of John/Tale of loss.
Advertisement
From a young age, John trained his body so that the backlash of his ability would destroy his enemies before himself and he had put blood,sweat and tears to obtain a solid build.
And now his training was put to use.
His 2 brothers lay behind him, on the floor as pale as ghosts. Unconscious, of course.
And in front of him was a masked man with the number 32 on his mask.
The man had the ability to enhance external things and it was quite the trouble.
His armor was now as thick as steel, his weapon hit like a truck.
His shield was an unbreakable wall.
But John gritted his teeth.
John stared at the man ferociously before he spoke.
"Hit yourself as hard as you can."
Before the man could lift a finger, his body lifted an arm.
He sent himself flying backwards with the force of a truck as his esteemed silver-hammer had launched him 3 walls back.
John too had punched himself in the face against his will.
2 of his broken teeth lay on the floor.
His face bloodied as he continued.
The masked man quickly appeared behind John, enhancing his equipments speed as he struck John muttered but a word.
"3X Weight increase."
John felt his energy drain as the words left his mouth and his legs trembled.
John did the only thing he could.
He hit the masked man left and right.
He had long made this his signature move.
After training for years on end, John could move efficiently under the gravity increase.
His opponent, weighed down by his enhanced items was no more than a punching bag who needed all his energy to lift even an arm.
As he grabbed the masked man by the neck a cold hand landed on his head.

And smashed it into the ground.
2 more masked individuals rushed in their numbers blurred by John's eyes.
They began assaulting John.
John cried as his ribs broke, his muscles tore and his body bled.
As John shrieks from pain and agony he screamed from his soul.
"JUMP OUT THE DAMN WINDOW!"
They were on the 7th floor.
The ground outside was rocky.
Death waited patiently.
The masked men ,against their will, jumped out the window.
Three splats were heard.
John spat blood from his ability overuse as he too slowly left for the window.
Before he left he saw his two brothers, newly conscious looking at him in distraught.
John smiled as tears streamed down his face.
"Joh-"
"DON'T DO I-"
The sound of silence followed.
A splat sounded.
Blood sprayed.
In a green grass field, illuminated by the moonlight.
A spark of lightning transformed into a thunderous bolt that instantly hit an invisible wall before a dark silhouette.
"Nice try, young man." The control professor spoke in a melancholy tone.
Several more bolts of lightning were halted by invisible walls.
The professor chuckled.
"I'd love to do this all day however." The professor's aura changed chaotically.
"Time is short."
Several invisible wind blades formed and swiped in different directions.
A dissected corpse lay on the cold floor.
It's gruesome features accompanied by the moonlight.
Its mask bore the number 11.
The professor left the field as he entered the accommodation again.
As he reached the top of the stairs a lethargic feeling of rotating got to his head.
A hand stretched for his neck.
Bang.
The figure bent as the impact collided with its chest as it was sent flying backwards.
A 7 on its mask.
Wind was pierced as several silver arrows narrowly missed the old professor.

The professor looked as they grow brighter.
Boom..
The arrows exploded in synchronization.
Flames blazed as a burning man lay in the middle of the flames.
Wind quickly extinguished the flames but the scars remained.
The professor groaned in pain as several masked men closed in on his location...
The students huddled as the resounding booms haunted their spirits.
One snapped twig would make the students huddled inside the corridor flinch.
Deylor and Jack had managed to reach this group of around 15 students..
The students scurried down the corridors looking anxiously for any signs.
It happened in an instant.
Splurt.
Blood spurted. A long narrow sword stuck into a corpse.
The students froze.
Chaos erupted.
The students ran as fast as they could before the sword lengthened and threatened to behead all the students. Alas, the sword's advance was halted.
Clang.
A bright-blue sword and an engulfed red dagger met the sword.
Deylor and Jack felt their muscles strain as the long sword pushed their feet backwards,
Several more masked man ran forth as a student ran back.
He placed his hands in the earth as he met eyes with the incoming pursuers.
A wall of earth rose.
The student used his ability will of the Earth.
An ability to summon Earth from his soul that shared a connection.
If he never gave up it would never fall.
If it was assaulted he too was assaulted.
Wounds appeared all other the students as he groaned in pain.
His body now tainted red.
However, despite the unending pain and the chaotic situation he kept his will strong.
Until.
Splurt.
Deylor and Jack looked away.
The ending was clear as day yet as unwanted as night.
More masked men appeared from the other end of the corridor.
Despair knocked on the door.
Jack and Deylor met eyes as they held hands.
An idea sparked.
Deylor shouted two words in desperation.
"HOLD, HANDS."
And that they did.
As the students held hands.
And the masked men blurred till they were meters away.
Jack smirked as his sword powered up and the students blasted through the wall.
The students cheered, joy written on their faces as they flew through the air away from their pursuers.
Deylor laughed.
"It worked! It really work-."
A deep red static ball hit the ground.
A deep-red explosion formed.
A deep crater formed as everything in the area was eradicated.
Deylor coughed blood as he looked at his state.
His body bloody.
His organs partially impaled from black shards and his eyes hollow.
He quickly looked to his right. Jack lay there, furthest from the attack.
His body was wounded in the chest. A large piece of stone had landed there but his breathing was steady.
Deylor looked left.
Blood.
Corpses.
Screams of the dead.
15 corpses lay. Their hopeful smiles on their half-eradicated faces.
As Deylor saw a finger rise his hopes relit. And then died out.
The finger rose just to be eradicated by the red-lightning like energy that moved like a snake before it quickly dispersed.
And in the sky stood a masked man.
The number 1 on his mask.
Red lightning flowing through his hands.
His eyes stared in contempt at a suited man on the ground in the middle of the explosion.
The suited man looked at the students to his right in sorrow as he combed his moustache and hair.
The principal of the academy.
The turner of tides.
Alan Tralgder.
Entered the stage.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
