"You said my classmates and me were summoned and me being here, where are they now?" I asked after she finished answering my questions.
"At the Castle" she said nonchalantly.
"Then why the hell am I here falling instead of being together with them?!" I shouted as irritation and confusion took over me.
"How about remembering what happened before this incident?" she suggest.
I nodded and started remembering what happened.
==Few hours earlier==
I got up as I walked to the door since the class just finished and next subject is coming, I noticed some student were throwing glances behind my back, majority of them are girls and the boys are just looking at me while smirking like they see me no lesser than a pig. I am pretty normal if I say so myself, average grade, looks, not so athletic, always reading books, not bothering to talk to anyone. Well the main reason for their attitude towards me is a girl, well not just any girl, this girl, Ema is what you call a 'Queen' of this school.
When I was still a new student, freshmen, and attending the opening ceremony. I was silent the entire time because first, I don't know anyone and was nervous attending in a net school. As I was listening at the principals speech something rather someone talked to me, I was shocked for the fact that someone talked to me and more so its a beautiful girl, no beautiful is an understatement, but gorgeous, strikingly gorgeous. With her Red hair, emerald green eyes and her red glossy lips. Its like she can bewitch you just staring in her eyes alone. She a half-head smaller than me, which for me thinks its perfect since I'm an idiot.
She introduces herself first then me, it didn't really went go well for me because I often bit my tongue due to nervousness and especially someone this gorgeous was talking to me, I mean who won't? A girl who is so gorgeous and so kind talking to someone like me who she barely knew.
She propose to me, no I mean she invited me to be her friend.
And as stupidly idiotic person as I am, I agreed.
After the incident which I decided to call 'The Miracle of God' we began talking all the time, eating lunch together and walking around together since we're classmates. It took me a long time to notice that every student in this school began to hate me, being with her all the time, I received all the jealous stares from the boys around me.

And it also took me so long to notice that I started developing feelings with her. Every time I looked at her in the eyes, I always feel like all the time around me stopped and I disregarded all the people around me. She always shines every time I see her. Her smile light up my world like nobody else. I cant resist to her, she's just so... I blush every time she looks at me.
Its been two months since 'The Miracle of God' and I've decided to confess my feelings that's been swirling around my head and heart everyday. So one day, I decided to confess.
As dumb ass idiot I am, I confess to her in public. Yeah, in the lobby. Shouting my feelings to everyone. I feel really embarrassed but I felt it will be all worth it in the end. I looked at her and her face is full of shocked and amusement, I wonder what's amusing about this, but I immediately knew why.
She looks at me in the eye and smirks, shakes her head, turn around and left. I never understood what happened that time, it took me a moment to absorb what happened, I didn't move in the spot for an hour, even if the school is already starting I'm still stupefied at what happened.
As I finally understands what happens, I dropped my knees into the ground and broke in to tears. I went home after that and took an absence for a week. Gradually and eventually, my heart became devoid of emotion, and at that moment i swear to myself to never ever again be infatuated with a girl, a girl like her.
A week later, i decided to attend school again, even though my eyes are red and visible dark circles in under my eyes, I still need to attend because of grades.
That's where everything starts, the bullying.
They bully me everyday but I never fight back. In the span of few years, bullying keeps coming everyday and everyday, to the point where there was never a time of peace for me. After in a certain time, i felt something inside me snapped, I started thinking that killing them would be fine at, all but endured it. Time passed even people started to noticed my apathetic expression and the lack of light in my eyes...Eventually the people who bullied me suddenly stopped, as if they felt that if they keep doing things then something bad will happen to them.

And Ema, now never looks at me in the eye and ignores me as if I never existed. Every time we passed each other in the hall she always ignores me as if I was not there. But who cares? All those years of experienced, the pain and the memories, the humiliation, all of that, is her fault. Years ago i was filled with infatuated feelings, seemingly lovestruck everyday and now all that left was hatred and despise.
Before I went out I took a cold glance at Ema and went out. I got out the door and walked into the hallway bumping my shoulder to someone whom I didn't bother to look at, I entered the bathroom and relieving myself, zips up and went out then went back again.
As I arrived in front on the room, I noticed some faint light coming inside from the room, I can see it through the gap under the door. I just shrugged it off and decided I was just imagining it.
By the time I entered the room, it was already engulfed with a light so blinding I shut my eyes.
When I open my eyes, that's when I realize I'm falling.
============
"So, the light in the room, it was your doing?"
She shakes her head horizontally.
"Actually no. It was the Summoner in the Kingdom who did it."
"I thought it was you who did the summoning since it was you who greeted me here." I asked, confused.
"No, I was more like a spectator. I already knew that they are planning a summoning ceremonial and decided to watch. Its not really forbidden to summon someone from another world unless you got a permission from the god of that world you are planning to summon, wait, it actually is but in this case i guess it was okay since it interests me, so i negotiated with Gaea."
Wait? Gaea?!?
I was surprised, even though i've become cold these days, the hobby of mine still lingers in me so i was still surprised since this was out of my expectation. I actually think that there is no God in our world, i prefer the scientific explanations of the creation but if there is really God i always thought about the God of the bible. I was really not expecting another god, well I read novels about Greeks and once thought that they were really the gods in this world.
"Wait!! What?! There is a god in earth!?!"
"Well yes, Gaea." She just dropped the bomb like it was common sense.
"Gaea?! You mean the Earth Goddess?!"
"Oh so you knew about her."
"I read Greek Stories but that does mean that gods like Zeus also existed?!?"
"No, there is only one goddess in your world and that's Gaea."
I unconsciously sighed in relief.
"Anyways, I negotiated with Gaea and she agreed, well since we are somewhat best buddies so its much more easier."
I just remained silent, since i cant think straight anymore from absorbing all the things that I've heard.
After a moment, i decided to ask Mika.
"What about you?"
"Huh? What about me?." she cocked an eyebrow.
"I mean if Gaea is the Earth Goddess, what kind of goddess are you?"
"What kind of Goddess i am? Hmmm, you can say I am the goddess of Combat. More like I am the goddess of fighting."
"This is too much for my brain." I sighed while rubbing my temples.
I pondered and decided.
With this new life i recieved, I decided.
To change myself, forget everything in the past but will never forget the pain i experienced, the betrayal and the humiliation.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
