《Painting Horrors》Prey
Advertisement
As Gabriel was unbeknownst to the church's plan he was looking for a place to recover and heal his body. He had to wash the blood out of him because it'll definitely look quite suspicious if people see a bloodied man walking around the streets. As he was walking down a dark alley he heard the sound of an argument going around, curious he stealthily approached the sound. As he peeked around the corner he saw two young couple that were in an argument. The young man was quite thin and looked haggard while the woman also looked thing, but she kept up her appearances but you can tell the makeup for it was quite cheap. "What are you talking about? You're the one working all night? Hahaha I've been working ever since I left my family just for you." The young man looked quite crazed as he was arguing with the woman he was quite annoyed because the woman kept threatening him that she'll break off all relationship with him if he couldn't get his life together. He fell in love with the woman when he saw her as a teen, they graduated from the same school and he pursed her even though his family persuaded him to stay and get a better education for a better job. "You've been working? What a joke if it wasn't because of my night job we wouldn't even be living in the slum right now. We would be out in street living like those vagrants begging for food." While the two were arguing they didn't noticed a bloody young man eyeing them like prey.
"They would be great for an art project but I'm in too bad of a shape to be creating another art, especially ever since I created the siblings, they even fought against me." Gabriel fantasized of turning them into a painting and regrettably denied the idea. Although he couldn't turn them into a painting, they were perfect prey. The type of people that no one would even notice or care if they somehow went 'missing' as these thoughts were running through he walked steadily toward them, removing the weakness he had on him he turned it into a mask of a predator.

While the young man was arguing with his fiancee he spotted in the corner a blood young man walking towards them. His face turned white and out of fear he shoved his fiancee to the man, he didn't know he did this, maybe it was because of his survival instinct or him being angered by her, he knew that he was the one who caused her death. Although he knew he was the culprit of her death he couldn't care enough about that, he was too scared and he wanted to just run away, so he did without even giving another glimpse to his fiancee.
While the fiancee was still shocked behind the reason why her fiance would shove her, she felt someone putting their hands on her shoulder. She was scared but what was even worse was that the hands didn't feel like human. They had no warmth and she felt something wet running through her shoulders, she barely managed to turn around and was scared to death at the sight she saw. It was a young man who looked like he should be dead about now. He had what should have been fatal injuries on his body and he reeked a sense that made the woman want to vomit on him.
Gabriel was also shocked to see what happen when the young man pushed the woman to him, but he even just felt more regretful. "Ahh what a waste of a potential for a painting. Such disgusting actions I wish I could turn them into a painting." He sighed as he thought of this and placed his hands on her shoulder. When she turned around Gabriel just simply snapped her neck, he didn't want to create anymore potential and he wanted it to be a clean kill. With the woman who had her neck twisted 360 degrees around blood came out of her mouth and she eventually succumbed to her injury. He took out the painting of the teacher and showed it to the dead body, the painting then transformed into tiny blood red tentacles and drained the body into an empty husk. After it was done with this the painting then looked better than before, all the injuries and tears it had suffered miraculously recovered. Gabriel then placed his right hand on the painting and a blood red glow came from the painting and it flowed into his body. It was quite warming and relaxing to be surrounded in the blood red glow, he looked like a red cocoon right now. After 5 minutes the cocoon 'hatched' and out came Gabriel who looked better than before, although he healed all the injuries on his body, he was very fatigued. His fatigue didn't stop him from worrying about the bigger problem at hand though, which was the man who pushed the woman. "It'll be fine I can easily track him down, I'll just take it as a giving him a 5 minute head start in hide and seek."

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations.
