《The Unorthodox Tale of Sky》Chapter 2 For the First Time I'm Running for My Life
Advertisement
So how was the first chapter? Did everyone find it interesting enough to say “hey I wanna read the next chapter”? Just a heads up, I’m going to show no mercy in the deaths of characters and random people. The gore will be explained. In detail. So those with an active imagination, weelllll have fun!!!
Chapter 2
-Me…. (woot)-
“I believe you already know the answer to that”
I gulped. Yup. I gulped and said with a slight hope I was misunderstanding “Would that be the weird tail people have behind them?”
Sigh, the next scene was definitely what told me that I was indeed correct.
“Might I ask what is so important that you would talk in the middle of the class?” Mr. Professor asked.
“……”
I heard her say something but I couldn’t quite make it out, but I guess I didn’t need to because in the next moment the professors head exploded. Yup, you heard right. His head exploded into tiny little chunks that flew everywhere. The brain matter, pieces of skull, and blood splash on the front row students faces as if a famous artist was magnificently painting an abstract painting. In place of the prof’s head? A fist of one of the male students. One would call him a jock.
About four students screamed, two passed out, and one decided to get up… me… The rest of the students turned towards the other students with gazes of a predator finally catching its prey. The chick behind me? I decked her in the face and sprinted out the door. No way in hell am I staying for that death game.
As I was sprinting I decided to look back. You know, the thing you’re never supposed to do when running away? Yeeeeaaah I know why they say that now. I was being chased by about 40 students. Wait… are they?? Yup they’re running on the walls and…CEILING???? Seriously? Are you guys spiders or something? You’re supposed to be freakin humans!!! The hell are you doing on the ceiling!! The walls would be somewhat possible, but the ceiling?!? Ah, shit I went upstairs. Nothing good ever happens when you go upstairs. Guess what? I was right. The moment I reached the top one of those weird humans was waiting for me and threw a fist at my face. That’ll definitely kill me, so with rapid succession I grabbed his wrist with my left hand and with my right I pushed my hand up under his arm at the armpit, pushed my foot through his leg and tossed him down the stairs and continued to run.

Thank you Lord for making this building so freakin big, as I ran I was able to find a room to hide in after losing them from some turns and corners I never even knew about. Well I haven’t been to the second floor in the two years I’ve been here.
“Hey what are you doing in here? Students need to be on the first floor unless with a professor”
Right that was why. You can’t go to the second floor because it’s essentially the experimental floor. Meh whatever, I ain’t gonna die because of some stupid rule.
“Sorry but there are some people with blue tails sticking out of their bodies trying to kill me so you know, gotta find a place to hide.” I said with my back to him. Big mistake. Cliché much?
“Blue tails huh? Looks like we’re mobilizing then” he said and started to approach me. Slowly I might add.
Dude, why slowly? You know If ya wanna kill someone ya gotta do it fast. Don’t give them the opportunity to escape. That’s just asking for trouble you know? “Bye!!” I shouted opened the door so fast I thought the hinges would break off and dash for my life once again. Well at least this time there’s only…. They multiplied? …… Is my luck really this bad? This time around there’s at least 100 of those creepy super human thingies. Whyyyyy-y-yy-yyy? It just had to be this school they decided to take over. Couldn’t you have just let me live my days lazily? No? Well up yours with a barb wired covered 2x4. Don’t like it? Too bad!!
While I’m running I sometimes pass by another student or teacher. When they see me running like a mad man they get this inquisitive look then explode. Yes, explode. You know, like their intestines fly one direction while their heart, lungs, and kidneys fly in another? Wait… is that shit? Dude!!!! That’s totally shit!! The guy exploded and shit literally flew all over the place!!! Dude totally had a shitty last moment. Enough of that, gotta run.
So now I’m working my way to the third floor. You see, going up is bad only when you don’t have a plan. I, however, do have a plan. These guys don’t seem to have a good sense of smell so as soon as I get past these stairs I’ll make a sharp turn, wait for the to leave, then proceed back downstairs and escape. Or, well, so I thought. When I was able to trick them somehow into passing me by, when I looked at the stairs there were at least four guards, maybe more. These guys, after all, can run on the ceiling, still can’t get over that, so I wouldn’t find it strange if they were hiding somewhere where I couldn’t see em.

Yeah let’s go with that. So that means I need to find another way out. Jumping’s out of the question. Passed that option coming to this floor. Soo I guess next would be to find a nice quiet room where no one should know or have access to… like the dean’s office. Yeah, let’s go there! I just hope the dean wasn’t taken over like these guys. Ooh, shiny floor map. How convenient.
I then proceed stealthily to the dean’s office, which, conveniently, is on this floor. Albeit the other side of the floor but still. I feel like going to that office is just better than going up, you know his doors are solid metal AND the hinges are super strong too! So that’ll at least stall em for me to think of a better plan.
“Found him!!!” said one of the blue tails. I ’ma just call em blue tails. Also, again, don’t announce your position away to your prey!!! It, again, gives them a chance to escape, like right now. I put myself into full gear and shoot off towards the dean’s office.
Ugh the pains. The lack of oxygen, my sore muscles, my heart hurts, ugh everything hurts. ‘Just stop’ a voice inside me says. Nope! I shan’t die today!!! Or so I hope. I ignore the pains and eventually reach the office. Without looking back I quickly open the door, enter, and slam it shut while also locking it. Dude… this door is ridiculous. Why does one guy need such a freakin heavy ass door. Seriously.
“crunch”
Hm? Didn’t I just hear something I wasn’t supposed to? Didn’t I just hear the bones of a human body being munched on like a late night snack?
“gulp”
And did that midnight snack go down the pipe of some gigantic creature? I think to myself and slowly turn around…
“You know what they say, out of the frying pan” I chuckle a bit “aaand into the fire” I sigh….
-Them-
Kicked off their own planet they had only one choice. Become the most detested life form in order to survive. Become a parasite. They had to move from planet to planet searching for a place to live, not feed. But, all they found were, as expected, hostile inhabitants which eventually led to the inhabitant’s extermination and sacrifices. The already small population was decreased more and more at every planet. Hope of their survival slowly decayed. Eventually their race numbered less than a thousand. They found a planet thinking this was the one. The queen had found a possible mate from this planet. However, when she revealed who she was to the one she was supposed to trust, it took a turn for the worse. The inhabitants of the planet discovered who they are and how to kill them. A mass genocide hunt started. This hunt left them with less than four hundred. 572 members of the race were found and killed. The queen amongst them.
They quickly left so that they were not completely exterminated, but their number were so small that their survival chance was next to zero. Then luck hit them. They found a blue planet. A blue planet with an arrogant and ignorant race. The race? Humanity.
So? What did you guys think? Were you able to feel the rush? Were you able to feel his sense of "my life is in danger"? Please do tell. The good and the bad please, also , no mercy please. I won't be able to make an amazing story if I don't get any good feedback/criticism. Also thanks for reading this far!!!

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

Kill the Harem
I was never a person who struggled with anything. Whatever I wanted to achieve, I achieved, except for finding a good reason for living. That was until I died. Perhaps it was karma, or perhaps it was some particularly sick god. I woke up in a world full of magic and encountered all these women who became romantically obsessed with me. It bears an uncanny resemblance to those garbage isekai series that I had the misfortune of reading in high school. The problem is, I loathe isekai. It got to the point where ever time I read about a busty elf-girl wanting to follow the protagonist, I wanted to throw something. It's illogical and it ruins the flow of the story. But now, I'm the one getting harassed by such illogical people? What complete and utter drivel. If any obsessive crazy person tries to make me theirs without even caring about my opinion, I'll f*cking kill them! I'll kill them all! I'm getting back home no matter what. My favorite manga hasn't finished yet and I want to read it to the end. Q&A Section Q: Is the protagonist mentally healthy? A: No, not even close. Q: Are all the female characters stupid? A: Barring extenuating circumstances, nobody rational would fall for a guy like the protagonist, so there's a bit of selection bias going on here. Q: Is this about a Gary Stu killing a bunch of irrational harem characters in a cliche isekai world? A: Go reread the title and the synopsis. Q: Do the women die because they won't sleep with the protagonist? A: No. I'm not sure where anyone got that from since it's entirely the opposite of what happens.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

(DEMO) Colorless vol.1- Phantamoire Enigmata
This is a demo volume consisting only seven chapters. The sole reason of this publication is to show the world a glimpse of the project. Therefore, the final quality of the product will be lot more refined and polished. This demo might get deleted from RoyalRoad after the actual publication. Synopsis: "Knights wearing their shining armor serving righteous justice riding their glorious horses." We all have heard that story- Heroes who do the right in the purest way without any tampering. But, is it really that easy? Is the world and it's heroes really that pure? After all... fairytale is just a lie. I might be the first author in the world who despises writing. I haven't read any story books or novel in my entire life but children's story book (not even ten of them). So, why do I write? Simple answer- the story. Inexperienced I may be but I believe my project and it's quality. The actual story will be posted somewhere in 2019. The story will be devided into 7/8 volumes and 90 (approx.) chapters. I have been working on this project for 1 year now. It took me 5 months to finalize the concept and plot, 7 months for the story and it's already been 6 months in writing along with 2 times of total revamp.
