《On the shores | KV ✔》°22°

The group members turned around to look at the little raven running up to them, waving his hands frantically over his head to get their attention. They all looked irritated, standing on the shores of the beach just on the brink in entering the float. Looking irritated over to the problematic male, all of them slowly walked out of the water to get back on the beach.
Jungkook was staring at Taehyung with an unreadable expression on his face, standing a bit further away from the water than the others. Taehyung now knew why. Because as soon as Jungkook would lose touch to the sand beneath his feet, his legs were going to transform into black tentacles.
Taehyung couldn't let Jungkook win. No one should die around him, he made a promise to himself. After losing his Aunt during a horrible car accident as a kid, with him sitting in the back, Taehyung has promised himself that no one was going to die in his presence.
Even when they hated him and won't believe him, Taehyung had to try and convince the passengers. He owed that to his Aunt. So no more people could join her on the other side because he was responsible of it.
Now looking closely at the group members, Taehyung noticed how deranged they looked, their clothes threadbare and their faces and hair messy and wild. They didn't look like decent human beings anymore but savages. Even their eyes were maniac by now.
"What is it this time? We're about to leave this fucking place", one man said annoyed and there were snickers coming right after his comment, Taehyung flushing in embarrassment. "This is urgent, listen to me! PLEASE! IF YOU GO ON THE SEA YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!", Taehyung yelled after them after all of them scoffed and turned away from him. Taehyung panicked.

They might hate him but he did care for them and didn't want them to die. He had a kind soul and couldn't stand people getting harmed in his near. Also the reason why he hated horror movies, just like his best friend Hoseok while his fiancé Jin loved them, loved the jump scares and loved getting scared. Funny how Taehyung seemed to have ended up in his own fucked up version of a horror movie.
"Let me guess, it's something about Jungkook right?", Jimin asked annoyed while throwing Taehyung a glare and the raven flinched. This was it. They really weren't friends anymore. Jimin has shown his true self throughout these weeks on the island and showed his true characteristics. He just wanted to survive, even if that meant offering his life to a stranger they barely knew.
To a stranger who was a monster.
"Please listen to me. Please! I only want to save you!", Taehyung yelled out frustrated, heart pounding in his chest while he caught Jungkook looking at him. He ignored the blonde and focused back on the group, the only goal now was to protect them and keep them on this island under any circumstances.
"What is it then, Tae? Did he come to you in your sleep and told you he's going to murder us? Or did the sun burn your brain already like Jungkook said and you've really gone insane? Because it seems like the only one we should be afraid of is you right now", Jimin mocked Taehyung with his words, making fun of the panicked male who felt so frustrated.
"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE? Even you, Jimin. Why are you all against me? Even Namjoon noticed something strange about him! Yet you're just falling for his lies! Don't leave with him or he's going to kill you!", Taehyung yelled, staring accusingly at the group who didn't look like they were believing him.

"Kill us? Taehyung, you're making no sense anymore", Minhee shook her head with a disapproving frown on her face. Taehyung yelled in frustration. "WHY IS NO ONE LISTENING TO ME?! WHY ARE YOU ALL SO BLIND FOR THE TRUTH??!", Taehyung screamed at them, huffing for air from his outburst.
"You've literally went insane", Yoongi now butted in while Jungkook stayed a little bit away and only watched the fighting pleased. "You're always accusing him but y'know what I find strange? That you don't do shit to help us, go away from the group and once Namjoon was on your side, he was dead. Maybe you killed him. Could be possible from the way you try so hardly to guilt Jungkook into being his murderer. You also don't want us to leave . Maybe YOU'RE the one holding us back, maybe YOU'RE the one who's dangerous", Yoongi accused Taehyung and the raven completely lost it by now, his anger turning into despair.
"You have to believe me! H-he's a sea creature! You can't leave the island, you can't be on open sea or you'll end up being his next meal! I saw it with my own eyes!", Taehyung screamed out the confession panicked while they dragged the boat into the water. None of them listened. All of them have given up on him already.
"Jimin! Jimin, do you at least believe me?", Taehyung now turned to his friend but Jimin turned his back on the little panicked male. "Jimin, please!", Taehyung tried grabbing his friend's arm but Jimin pulled away.
"You really are delusional... Jungkook has told us about it, he said you've been getting too much sun and your brain got grilled", Jimin said rudely and Taehyung gasped, his hand falling to his side. "Even rejecting him when Jungkook has been kind enough to teach us his knowledge and helped us construct this boat! And accusing him of such a horrible thing is really disgusting, Taehyung."
The raven moved back as if he was being slapped by his friend. His eyes flickered over the group and all of them shared the same expression on their faces. Disgust. They didn't believe him.
Taehyung's eyes snapped over to Jungkook who wore a wicked little grin on his face.
It was over.

Oh no, TaeTae really lost the fight:(((

A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
