《Free》Chapter 16: The Legendary.. What?! Part I
Advertisement
I kept drinking, it didn't fill my hunger or thirst, but it felt good. I could feel how the bottle became emptier.
"HA! That was a good clunk" I said.
"Fucking idiot! I gave you MY bottle, I wanted more" Hiroto shouted.
"Nyehe, sorry, sorry man!" I replied laughing.
Suddenly I heard the door open, and it got slammed only a second after.
I could hear hiccing.
"Boys *hic* I have a new one for you!" the voice said.
Oh, it's Habiki. He's the boss's little brother, only thing he does is drink all day and give us info on new bounties.
He fell front face down and the paper slowly flew to us.
I heard someone behind me.
I-It was creepy...
The paper landed on the table between me and Hiroto.
A hand appeared behind me and took the paper.
The person was laughing, a creepy high pitched way.
"this.. IT'S FRESH MEAT, AND BUNCH OF MONEY" the voice shouted.
It was my boss Akira. He's a tall and powerful bounty hunter, that always goes out of his way to get the job done.
"Boys, it's time to move now, he was last seen west of Xous, get moving we need him" Akira said.
I could hear him quickly folding the paper.
"Let's go! The hunters are on their way!" he said and walked out.
Man, I'm really tired for this..
***
I slowly opened my eyes.
I woke up to a to a torch not too far away from me, it was the only light source.
It was night, the window only had the moon as a light source.
I slowly rose up and sat down on the bed.
"Oh! You seem to be awake boy!" I heard a voice say not too far away.

The room I was in was closed off, and the only thing I could see was a hallway.
"Oh, you're awake Katsura, I was sleeping too you know" I heard Fushima say.
"Feh.. I can't be sleeping anywhere.." I said quietly.
I looked around again.
Nice closed off room.
I kept looking around, but I couldn't find my sword anywhere.
I was just about to get off the bed when I heard footsteps coming towards me.
It was a man, he had a blonde beard and big hands.
"You finally woke up, boy!" he said.
He slowly walked towards me with a smile on his face.
"I was so worried about you boy! Now I am relieved!" he said.
He hold up his hand before me.
"Let's shake hands" he said.
I looked up at him.
He had a big, round, pink nose.
He had a big smile, and closed eyes.
I looked back at his hands and shook them.
They were...
..Clean.
"I am preparing food for you, no need to go now!" he said and quickly walked back.
I decided to rise up.
My legs were a bit in pain, though I could still walk on them.
I slowly made my way to the man who saved me.
He was setting up the table for me.
He had made a wonderful smelling soup, with a glass of water.
"Uh.." I said.
"FOOL! Thank him for saving you and serving you, idiot!" Fushima said.
"Th-Thank you for saving me and serving me food!" I said.
He laughed it off.
"No problem boy! It's a fun feeling helping out!" he said.
He put down the bowl and the glass on the table.
I sat down and started eating.
"Ho, You must be hungry eh" he said.

He sat in front of me while I was eating.
I quickly finished eating and drank the whole glass of water.
"So.." I said.
"Hmm.. ?" he replied with a smile.
"I, want to do something in return, but I have to go.." I said with disappointment.
In reality I didn't feel any disappointment, I didn't feel anything, it was just an act.
"Well then, let me tell you something" the man said.
"Please.. Go ahead" I said.
"In the forest area between Creata and Xous, there is a legendary swordsman, known for his power, strength and helpfulness" he said.
"Seek him, and try to make him your companion for your journey, he will be in great help, to hopefully make you not end up in the state you were in before" he said.
"Legendary.. Creata.. Help" I mumbled to myself.
He held up his hand.
"Shake my hand, and promise me you'll seek this hero" he said with a smile.
"Old man.." I said.
I stood up and shook his hand.
He was smiling.
"But before I go.." I said.
"Do you know where my sword is?" I asked.
"OH! Yes your sword! Give me a minute and I'll give it to you!" he said and rose up.
He quickly went to the hallway.
I looked through the window, it was sunrise.
I made the man stay up the night just for...
..Me.
He quickly came back while holding my sword, it didn't take but a minute or two.
"Please, take this as my last gift, and good luck on your journey" he said.
I slowly took the sword and walked out.
He was looking from the doorway.
From the sword fell a little piece of paper.
I picked it up from the ground and read what it said.
It read: Creata. Hero.
I put it in my pocket, and started sprinting, towards the sun, that's what everyone says.
Go towards the sun, and you will find yourself in Creata.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.

Ruthless Reincarnator
Its a first try at a different approach of the "i've reincarnated in another world" genre. No "i wanna go back home", or "i wanna make friends" stuff. In fact, the most emotional moments will probably happen in the Intermission chapters. On the bright side, i have already completed the main story! And it is a short one, of course. Only 100~~something pages long (i'm writting the intermission chapters for now) and every chapter shall be mostly 1 or 2 pages long only. So everyone should have something to read for the next 2 months or something. Obs: I have also opened a Patrenon. I intend on posting 1 chapter every day and asking for donations in case people want more. Why ? ´cause i like money. Have a good reading everyone.
