《Changing Monster》2.Running
Advertisement
Why did I do it? Why did I need to catch the critters? Why did I release my impulse on my kin? Why did I continue to hit with the sword till it broke? why why why
I tried to control myself from panicking. I stopped running when I realized that something was missing. The sword. where is it? I did not have it. I started looking everywhere, but I could not see much because of the darkness. Did I lose my only possession? I tried to think clearly with the horrid feeling about it. I had it when I was hitting my fellow. I did not have it now. Where could it be? Ha, when I ran away from my kin as fast as I could. It did not feel like I was dragging the sword with me so I must have left it there. I now knew where the sword was.
What do I do now? I do not know where I was running. All my kin and my sword are behind me.
I should return If I wanted to resolve this. I should return to my group. I was the one who attacked them in the first place for no reason. If they used the sword to break me?. I deserved it, but did I want to be broken? No, I should be able to run away from them again, as they did not chase me previously. After some more thinking. I decided that I will return and try to resolve this. If I could not, I should be able to run away.
Now how do I return? I started looking everywhere to see a way to return, and when I looked at the dirt beneath. I saw light marks on it. I recognized that the Marks were made by me. I made the connection that if I followed the Marks, I should return to the place where they started. I began following the Marks.

After some time of following the marks, I felt the weakness inside me increasing. Later I sensed that I was closer to the group and that what little of the surroundings I could see felt familiar. I saw something at the edge of my vision. As I got closer, I saw that it was my sword in the ground. I ran the remaining distance and picked up my sword. I held it tightly in my arms. It felt good to have my only possession to be again in my arms. I felt something enter my vision. So, I looked at it. It was one of my fellows walking towards me. The other three were also walking towards me. I realized that they were going to surround me.
I held the blade in between me and the others with the tip pointing towards them.No! What am I doing? I am going to break them all. Is this why I returned? I tried to drop or lower the sword, but I did not. They were coming closer to me. This is not how I wanted this to go. I looked at them. When they were about to surround me, I did it again. I ran away from my group.
I ran straight past them. I did not want to return here. I should not return until I could control myself. With that, I tried to run faster. Later I saw some light for the first time. I moved towards the light and tried to run even fast as if I would lose the light. Suddenly I felt something spread inside me, mainly in my legs. I was now able to run even faster because of that. I could see the light now, and I ran into it. Suddenly I fell. When I hit the ground, I tried to move forward. I could see my surroundings clearly for the first time.

There was color everywhere. My surroundings were a lot denser than where I came. I stopped moving and tried to take in everything. Immediately I felt the weakness come to me. I fell, and I started losing my vision.
I saw four pale bright figures coming to surround me. One of them had a long sword pointed at me. They came closer and attacked me. I moved my blade, But the figure’s sword moved through my midsection, and I heard my blade fall. I could not see anything, even the Figures. I looked at the center of my body, and I saw red liquid flowing everywhere. As I fell, I could sense someone was coming closer to me.

Reborn From the Cosmos
Lourianne Tome is a mildly talented, underachieving, slightly lecherous summoner who wants nothing more than to live a simple life away from her father's expectations. Those dreams are waylaid when a madman knocks her carriage off the road and sacrifices her to power a summoning. After a fateful encounter with a powerful elemental, Lou becomes something other than human and embarks on a journey to live happily and bring a little amusement to a god tired of the world's status quo. This is a mainly slice of life story with a bit of action/adventure. A few tags that need to be added here: 18+, yuri (wlw, lgbt), NSFW (and it doens't really have dedicated chapters, it is very much a part of the story), shapeshifter (and everything that comes with that). Fair warning.

Shattered World: New Game +
Monsters have appeared and are attacking. The only hope for humanity are the gods who have come to help them. Granting their chosen the power and abilities to fight against the onslaught. Almost like a video game. Specifically, the video game Shattered Earth. A little too specifically like Shattered Earth? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some things about this story. This is a brutal world and a gory story, the gore is described. It is also NOT a power fantasy. This story depicts an Apocalypse, and humanities attempts to overcome it. There is more stuff to be noted that are different but those would be spoilers. Just know, if you are going into this expecting a litRPG power fantasy save the world story, you will not find it.
