《ADDICTIONS》"stay alive izu"
Advertisement
The next day I was escorted to breakfast. Everyone acted like nothing happened despite the noticeable black eye, bruises, and cuts on my face along with my body.
I was pissed but I couldn't let them think anything. "How was your sleep my son?" I grit my teeth and smile, "fine." He nodded his head.
I noticed dabi was at the table, he kept staring at me. Normally if someone were staring at me I'd tell them to fuck off but I can't. After breakfast I went back to my room.
I really wish I paid attention in technology. I could maybe re wire this phone and disconnect the server, my dad is watching everything I do on it.
When I walked outside no guards were by my door? I was really confident. I looked around and decided that if they weren't around I'd go to the top floor seeing what's up there. I went to the elevator and pressed the highest floor. Level three.
When I walked out it looked completely different than it did on the second level. It looked like I was stuck in 1990's. I didn't like it. There were two big doors. I turned the knobs only for them to be locked which makes me want to open it even more.
I look around for anything that could help me unlock it. I find a stack of papers with a paper clip. The paper's was just my dads taxes...For someone like him...Him doing taxes is weird as hell.
I walked to the door and picked the lock. Criminal smarts...glad to have them. When I walked in I immediately recognized it as my moms room. Anger arises in me. I start looking around the room despite my anger.
I look out the window and see it also has brick on the other side. I look under the bed and see a shiny gold key. I grab it hoping it'll be useful.

I open the closer and see all my moms clothes. Right when I start feeling like I'm getting nowhere I see a wooden box with my initials craved into it. I get confused and grab the box sitting down in front of the box.
The box was locked. Seriously? I took the key that was in my pocket out, "hopefully this works..." I put the key in at the box clicked. I opened the box. There was a key photos and a note...
I grabbed the note and read it.
To my precious baby boy, I have to keep this kind of short.... I want to apologize...Your father made me do many horrible things to you. I want to tell you the truth- the quick version of course. When I was pregnant with you while I was sleeping I found out your father would put drugs in me through a needle. So when I saw noticeable scars on my arms each day that's when I knew what he was doing. That's what got me hooked on drugs. It was because of your horrible father.
Soon I had you, I was too addicted to care for you. Than he got hooked on drugs. We were both druggies. When you were two your father had told me about his plan. To leave you and start a business. I wasn't in the right mindset...so I agreed. Your father told me to pack my things and get in the car. I did as he said. Minutes later he came back in the house with a needle. I was confused but didn't question it.
He came...Than we left you. I'm not trying to say nothing was my fault but instead your fathers and the drugs. It was my fault. And I'm so sorry my baby boy...Years later I we finally accomplished our dream.

But each and everyday your father became more and more violent. I was off drugs and had a clearer mindset, that's when I realized all the horrible things I had done to you.
I begged and begged your father to let me see you but he would hit me and lock me in my room. I'm so sorry! All I ever wanted to do was see you...hold you, apologize to you..
Around September I had enough of him. I was going to expose everything about him and put him to jail. I left you a key I found that is to his cellar. He lets no one go in it. Not even me. There's pictures of drugs he has and made in the lab.
It should be enough to put him away......But if your reading this it means I'm most likely dead and he's keeping you trapped here. I know you hated me you still probably do...But get out of here alive izu. Your father is a cruel man.
I don't know when I'll get to see you but I want you to know I love you so much, I'm sure your an amazing person izu. Remember. Your father is a manipulative liar who will do anything as long as it's going his way...stay alize my precious boy <3

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
