《Return of the Shadow CEO》Blue

"How?" Blue thought to himself
"I never thought, that I would have to unleash my martial form to fight a puny insect like you!" Marionna shouted
"Martial Form?" Blue muttered
"Martial form, it's a power bestowed upon me by his majesty, with this power even I can use a bonded weapon. This is your end, Blue" Marionna said
"So, your weapon is that hat?" Blue asked
Marionna kept quiet, and smiled as she rushed towards Blue
She launched all her strings towards Blue.
To counter this, Blue rushed towards Marionna with all his might and kept slashing the strings. Suddenly, these strings divided themselves, and formed branches. These branches attacked Blue from all direction.
"These will never end! This is the power of my bonded weapon" Marionna said with pride
But, this statement didn't affect Blue at all, instead he became even more aggressive
While slashing his sabers, Blue took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I have one shot at it, I can't fail, I can't fucking fail!"
Blue kept slashing aggressively, with each slash he got closer to Marionna, while making distance between him and Carolina.
Blue, who was slashing the strings, suddenly disappeared, and in a split second appeared behind Marionna, and swiftly stabbed her torso.
When she realized what just happened, it was already late, without wasting any time she re-positioned herself away from Blue.
The wound that Blue just inflicted, got filled with the black strings and was healed.
"Trying to destroy my marma? Sorry, but my core is not near the naval area" Marionna said
"Dammit!" Blue thought to himself as swiftly moved towards Carolina
Marionna started emitting a tremendous amount of killing intent, trying to suppress her enemies.
"Is this the end?" Marionna asked with a cold smile on her face
Carolina who was getting healed behind Blue said "Let's get rid of this bitch". She then grabbed on to Blue's arm and steadily got up. She smiled coldly with a shine in her eyes. Furthermore, she equipped her sword and stood firmly.
"You!" Marionna said, irritated by Carolina, she then furiously rushed towards Carolina, with her sharp hand ready to stab Carolina
Blue hurriedly stood in front of Carolina to block the attack. He noticed something weird, Marionna who was coming towards him, had a smile on her face.
As soon as she appeared right in front of him, Blue held her wrist with great amount of force. The power, she exerted, had increased.
Blue looked at her, and saw her creepy smile. "What-" Blue said, but he couldn't complete his sentence.
Suddenly, he felt a tremendous amount of pain in his back, it was as if a thousand hot needles had been stabbed in his back. He felt that something stabbed his chest from behind. He felt as if his body was burning from inside. It was agonizing.
Blue looked behind only to find a shocking scene, he saw Carolina, who had stabbed her. His eyes widened as he spat crimson blood.

"I can't, I didn't, no, no!" Carolina said in a quiet voice
He then saw that, Carolina's hands, they were connected with the black string. Carolina then retrieved the sword
"No!" Carolina said in denial
"This was your plan all along?" Blue muttered, before falling down
***
[First Person POV]
Huh? What? Did I pass out?
The pain, it was unbearable, I couldn't even move, without feeling my bones shattering like glass.
"Puny insects" Suddenly, I heard a voice, it was a familiar voice
I hurriedly looked up, and saw a horrific site. All the radiants, they were all lying without moving, there was blood everywhere.
What the fuck happened?
Alex, where is he? Thinking about Alex I turned my head around, and found him under someone's foot, I quickly looked up and realized that it was that Half-Martial bitch. Furthermore, my wife, she was being strangled by that Half-Martial bitch. When I saw her, my blood boiled, I felt the rage in me. I tried to get up, but I just couldn't, it was as if I didn't have an arm, I couldn't feel it, I had nothing left in me.
"Rey, get up!" I heard Alex calling me, he was looking at me with desperation in his eyes.
A wave of mixed emotions gushed in my mind, I couldn't keep calm and my mind went black, it felt as if nothing was in my reach.
To calm myself, I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.
I have to do it, now, or never.
***
[Narrator's POV aka God's POV]
In the middle of the forest, a terrifying woman stood, strangling another woman's neck. At the same time, a man was also being crushed underneath her legs. A pool of crimson blood surrounded them, along with the bodies of half dead fighters.
"You guys are just tiny insects! You fake martials can't do anything to me" Marionna said as she strangled Carolina, "Puny insects"
"Rey, get up" Yellow said softly while looking towards Blue
Marionna who heard this, started exerting more force on Yellow with her legs, crushing his bones
Yellow groaned, and tried to punch Marionna's leg, but instead she kicked him. Sending yellow a few meters away.
Marionna threw Carolina away, and started walking towards Blue
Suddenly, wind started blowing, clouds started forming and a weird feeling of fearstarted enveloping the area
Marionna subconsciously looked at Yellow, the scene was very similar to what had happened previously. She felt content when she saw Yellow was dormant, there was no movement in his body, he was on the brink of death.
Suddenly, the clouds thundered, and a terrifying storm erupted. The amount of terror and fear in the area increased by a great amount
"What's going on" Marionna muttered
Suddenly, a beam of darkness struck Blue from the sky, the beam was covered with dark blue sparks of terror, the whole scene felt frightening, there was fear in the air, and Marionna could feel it.
Marionna looked at the beam, with a flabbergasted expression.

Carolina and Yellow had regained consciousness by now and were witnessing this scene
In a few moments, the beam dissipated, only to show a very petrifying scene. A small crater was created, and in the middle of the crater, Blue floated in the air, about a meter above the ground.
Initially he was looking at the ground, but soon he looked up, with his mask, he looked even more terrifying. His veins on his forearms were glowing with a blue hue, and he held a sword in his right hand, there was a similar glow on the sword as well.
"It's been a while" Blue said softly, as he emitted a large amount of killing intent towards Marionna
When Marionna felt this intent, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, while shivering with fear. Fear of death.
Even though the intent was directed towards Marionna, it even made Yellow and Carolina shiver
"Who? Who? Are? Who- who are you?" Marionna asked while stuttering, she was scared shitless
"Me? Your death" Blue said coldly
Marionna's eyes widened as she said "No way, you are bluffing, you didn't even have any pressure till now"
She was trying to make sense of the situation in front of her. "Yeah, you are just bluffing. No matter what you do, I won't be defeated by insects like you"
"Really?" Blue said with a cold smile behind the mask
Marionna who was still trembling, released her strings towards Blue
Suddenly, they got cut off without Blue doing anything
"What?" Marionna said as she released the strings again
This time they got cut off, just like that
"What are you doing?" Marionna asked with a trembling voice
"I can control the surrounding air, I formed a blade of wind, and slashed the strings" Blue said as he slowly walked towards Marionna
"No!" Marionna said as she again sent her strings towards Blue
But, this time as well the result was same
"It won't work" Blue said as he slowly raised his hand
Suddenly, Marionna started floating, a coat of wind surrounded her in a spherical way. She was at least ten meters above the ground
Blue then brought his hand down, and with that the wind around Marionna dispersed, and she fell down.
"I wanted to torture you to death, but I don't have much time, so just die"
Blue suddenly, appeared behind Marionna and swiftly be-headed her with his sword. Marionna's head fell off a meter away from her body, and the black strings started forming from her neck, and then they slowly moved towards her body
"You can't do shit!" Marionna said
Blue didn't say anything, instead started walking towards Yellow
"What? Trying to run away?" Marionna shouted
"Just shut up bitch, You are already dead"
"What?"
At that moment, a dark-blue aura started forming around the black strings, and suddenly, the strings started evaporating like water on a hot surface.
"What's going on!"
"Connect! Fucking connect!"
"Whatever you do, nothing will happen!" Blue said with coldness in his voice, "I told you, You are already dead"
"You are not immortal! If you don't reattach to your body soon, you will die. Isn't that right?" Blue said as he looked towards the sun that was rising
"Huh?" Marionna thought to herself, as she suddenly realized what Blue was saying was correct
"This is my power, I call it Null. I can suppress all abilities with this ability of mine!"
"Null? You, you are a temple-" Marionna said but was interrupted by Blue
"Also, To kill a God, you need to be a God, don't even think of scratching me until you become a God" Blue said as picked up Yellow, and placed him on his shoulder
"You-" Marionna said, before her death
"Piece of shit" Blue thought to himself
Blue then moved towards Carolina, who was sitting with her back supported by a tree
Blue stood in front of her for a few seconds before saying "You did well"
"Thanks" Carolina said
Blue then disappeared
***
Blue stood in front of a house, it was a very large modern bungalow.
He rang the doorbell a couple of times, until someone opened it.
On the other side of the door stood a man in his mid fifties, he wore a doctor's white coat, and had a cigarette in his hands.
"Rey?" the man said as he adjusted his glasses
"Sup, Doc" Blue replied
The man then noticed the body on Blue's shoulder and said "Alex? What happened?"
The man then hurriedly brought the two of them inside.
After a while
Alex laid on a bed, without his mask. There were band-aids all over him and a plaster on his leg and one on his arm
"He is alright, just martial energy scarcity" The man told Blue
"That's a relief"
Both of them, then moved out of the room and sat on the sofa
"You did it? Didn't ya?" The man asked
"Yes doc, I had to"
"Now you will die, or best case scenario, fall into a coma until death" The man said indifferently
"I have no regrets"
"What if, I told you, I have a way to keep you alive"
"What?"

Author's Note
I am going to put this story on hold, or how you say "Hiatus". The reason being, I want the best for this story, and I am currently working on a better story for this novel. Also, this is going to be a 3 book project, I am just going to say that I am currently working on the first novel (ROTSC is second) which will include what Rey did during the 12 years of transition training
I also wanted to highlight that now I will work on cliché drama cultivation stories for a while now, so that I could get better at writing. So, yeah, that's it, sorry

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
