Leave Part 2
What the hell?
My body, it changed?
My tail grew longer, and I seem to have more control over it.
My scales became much harder, like some sort of natural armor.
Well, at least I don’t need armor anymore.
I also grew bigger.
Much bigger.
Swimming in the river is impossible now, I guess.
Thankfully, I can still wield my current weapons, but I probably grew a lot stronger as well, so I’m really afraid I will break it in one swing.
At least I grew claws now.
My teeth also became a lot larger.
Extra weapons, check.
Hm? I sense a presence.
I turned around to find 3 more zombies approaching me.
Hehehe, perfect. I found a good way to test my new weapons.
I removed my bags and gear, and crouched on all fours.
I launched myself onto the nearest zombie, mercilessly separating its skull from the rest of its body with one powerful bite.
The other two zombies did a coordinated attack while I was gloating, but my thick scales protected me from their assault.
The blades also snapped of its hilt when they striked.
Turning around to face them, I growled menacingly.
-Killing Instinct has been activated.-
What the-? I feel a surge of power flowing through me.
The urge to kill… I can’t stop it...
KILL, BREAK, DESTROY
…
What… what happened?
I couldn’t control my body, and blacked out.
I got up and looked at my surroundings.
A scene of carnage was shown before me.
…
Did I do this..?
All the zombies in the vicinity were wiped out.
By me.
...Seriously, what am I?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2 days before reaching the Forest-
I’ve finally reached the end of the river.
Yesterday, I’ve managed to stitched together a rough leather bag using the rags from the zombies.

The feeling from that day, I still haven’t shaken it off.
It honestly scares me, but I need to overcome it.
Somehow…
At the river’s end, I found a rough path a few feet away. Seeing that I have no where else to go, I trudged on along the path.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn it, why is this jungle so thick?
This quest was suppose to be easy, but now I’m lost.
I should have bought a map…
But it probably won’t be of much help here, huh?
…
My name is Alexia Fetora.
I’m a hunter in a village called Desca.
Born from a poor family as the eldest, I was given the responsibility to take care of my siblings.
Why, you ask? That’s because my parents are dead.
My father was deep in debts and ran away from home, only to be caught and killed by the debtors.
My mother could not handle the huge burden and committed suicide.
Enough about my background for now.
Currently, I’m on a quest to gather herbs for the local pharmacist.
The problem is the herb I’m suppose to gather is called Vikshaw, also known as the Light Flower.
It is known to be found in the depths of the nearby jungle, surrounding a large lake.
As it only blooms for one month a year, its commonly in high demand.
I needed to pay off my father’s debt and look after my siblings, so I took this high paying job.
I expected this to be a breeze.
Man, I was wrong.
That day, my fateful encounter with that monster changed my life forever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Arrival at the Forest-
The forest.
I’ve finally made it somehow.
My quest for meat is finally coming to a close.
Now I just need to find it…
But first, I need a base camp.
Advertisement
...The problem is I blindly entered the forest, so I’ve gotten lost.
Hm? I see a light in the distance.
I took out a dagger and cut through the thick brush in front of me and pushed through.
Woah…
In front of me, there is a huge lake surrounding with flowers glowing in the dark.
That settles it. This shall be my new base.
I walked over to a large tree and dumped my luggage.
I was craving for fresh meat, but I settled down to figure out the best place to gather a large amount all at once.
The lake…
Fishing!
I can fish for meat.
Seafood… I had always loved seafood…
Without hesitation I ran and dived into the water.
SPLASH
Oh god, its paradise!
Fish, fish swimming everywhere!
I swam and devoured any fish that swam past me.
BURP
Man, that was good!
I floated along the surface of the water and fell asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hm? Am I dreaming?
Everything seems so blurry.
My body feels light…
Ugh! My head…
No… I don’t want to remember…
Ugh...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is ______.
I have just died.
What did I do to deserve this?
I just wanted to save her…
That damn traitor, I need to tell the others.
...But what I want most is to live again.
I will change the way I live…
Just let me live… again…
I’m… blacking out…
No…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“No!”
I gasped for breath as I tried to regain my senses.
Eh? I feel a presence.
I turned around.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
What the hell?
Who is she?

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

Escape
Nathaniel has used what money he had to buy a VR cocoon and to pay off the next few months' worth of bills. He has two ways to move forward in life- to find a new job, or to hope that he can make enough money playing Final Escape to feed his meager, human body. He has rolled randomly, as only a fool would do, and finds himself playing a Kobold magus who wields the power of life itself. Hopefully, his role-playing is entertaining enough to generate revenue, because the game is changing his real self... or else, his real self is changing the human-shaped shell he used to wear.

Burning Tears
Two opposite universes, one with human beings born into great destinies filled with magic and supernatural powers and the other with divines; creatures only exist to serve the universes of humankind. Will the two worlds clash or it would exist within one another peacefully?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nadine called the waiter and eyed his moving body from the far end of the restaurant until he noticed her. He nodded his head and walked toward her. As she put a polite smile on her face; something shiny caught her attention. It wasn't clear but for a long second, she thought she saw a set of eyes floating in the air looking deeply into her soul. She was about to talk when suddenly the waiter appeared before her eyes forcing her to blink fast. She looked up at him, smiling again and then ordered two carbonara dishes and chicken Caesar salad. "So... what happened in Dubai?" Camellia said, trying to get her mind to stop overthinking. "Nothing happened," Nadine said, smiling. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Burning Tears is copyright © 2020 by Nouran Eidarous.
