《what a strange name》ch.14

Pov.Peter
Wade left a few weeks ago. The jury is still deciding if wade should stay with his mom or with matt.
His mom is argueing that he ran away after a fight with a neighbor. I don't get it. Untill its figured out, he has to stay with his mom.
I neatly put a note on my bedside table, put on my suit, and swing out of my window.
At this point I'm crying and I just need to stop. I'm not sure what to do. I swing up to the tallest building I see.
I sit on the edge of the roof and take off my mask. I run my fingers through my hair and try to calm the tears.
I squeeze the paper in my hand. Its wades note, the one he wrote when he tried to...
I sit there, trying, and failing to stop the tears. Nothing is going the way it should. Wade should be safe.
"Enjoying the view, spiderman?" I hear a strange voice from behind me. It's like a deep voice and a normal one at the same time.
I turn around and see venom, in the more human like form. I wipe my eyes. "yeah." I say.
I stand up and take a few steps away from the edge. The blackness that formed vemons suit melts away and I see aria.
"wait, you're venom??" I ask, takeing a step back, but not to close to the edge. She nods and shrugs.
I feel myself get dizzy and everything goes dark. "Peter!.." I hear aria yell my name but it fades into silence.
Pov.aria
"Peter!" I yell as I run twords him. By the time I get to the edge its to late. I can't reach him.

Knowing what it will look like when he hits the ground I turn away, and sit on the roof, my back leaning on the small foot tall wall on the edge.
I close my eyes and the entire world fades. I don't hear anything, I don't see anything. I bury my face in my hands and the tears start.
The moment starts to replay in my head over and over again. The way he went limp and flipped over the wall. The way I couldn't run fast enough.
I get snapped out of my daze by a cold hand on my shoulder. I open my eyes and look up. I see iron man, his face plate lifted, he seems worried, or scared.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to catch him and I just, I was to far away, and I could have run faster but i, I just didn't and I," I say, slowly getting frantic. "I couldn't reach him." I say.
He kneels in front of me. "its ok. You tried to save him, and that's good." He says. I don't think it registered yet that his son just died.
As I realize he probably hasn't registered it yet, I begin to imagine how Peter hit the ground.
Everything else fades away and all I see is Peter, mangled and sprawled out, slpattered acros the sidewalk. I want to scream but I can't.
Pov.tony
As I talk to the girl who tried to catch peter, she falls silent, then begins to shake.
I put my hands on her shoulders and talk gently, trying to remember how Steve calms bucky when he has flashbacks.
She looks up at me, with worry, fear, sorrow, shame, and tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to. I just said hi and he passed out and now he's..." she says, stopping to wipe her eyes. "now he's gone." She says.

"no, no, no! Peter is ok!" I say, leaning back to show peter laying on the roof behind me. She sees him and starts crying a little less.
"I was able to catch him." I say. She wipes her eyes and smiles. I pick up Peter and fly home. I put him in his bed and tuck him in.
Pov.aria
After iron man took Peter and flew off, I let myself become venom again.
As soon as the parasite wraps itself around me, I feel safe. The adrenaline dies down and I remeber the first time I saw someone die.
I remeber watching my mom jump, and watching her hit the ground. I remeber her giving me a paper. I remeber how my tears smudged the ink.
I remeber the first time I met my dad. I remeber how i thought all of it was a bad dream. I remember how I cried when I found out it wasn't.
I snap back to reality and decide to go home. I swing through the window and let venom melt away.
My dad is asleep on the couch, drunk again. I walk over and pick up all of the bottles and glasses. I put a blanket on him and notice the pills.
I pick them up and read the label. 'jared smith, pain killer, take 1 each hour as needed. Max 5 per day.'
I turn it around in my hand and see that 20 pills were prescribed today, there are 15 pills left in the bottle. I put them high up in the cupboard, where he can't reach. I put a note on the counter.
'if you need the pain killers ask and I will get them down. -aria'
I'm not quite sure if he took some, or sold some. I hope he didn't sell them. My dad worked so hard to give me a good life.
Most people don't see an alcoholic drug dealer and think he would be a good father, but he tries his best.
He does everything for me, he tries to give me a normal life. I'm just glad that he is an overly polite drunk and not a violent one.
I put away the dishes and go to my room. I lay on my bed and try to sleep, but I can't. I lay there for an hour before falling asleep.

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art? Made by a friend who shall remain nameless at this time by his request

Project G00
|Nanopunk |Crafting | Detailed Science and experiments | Inner thoughts | Bio-Robots | Evolution | Infodumps | Tell not Show | Insane to Sane | Slow and Detailed Pace | Puddle to Unknown | Artificial Intelligence | Trans-humanism | Bad Jokes | Moving 'Dungeon' Core | Hi! I am G00. I am a project made by some weirdo. Some may refer to me as the wobbly thing in the fridge or the slimy thing in the ceiling. Others might tell you about that sticky thing inside your nose. In the end, they called me the Seed of Life, yet didn’t tell me what I was supposed to become. Furthermore, it just happens that this stage was the most miserable place to reincarnate... Reincarnate as in… What the hell did I become?! (Whispers) You are a puddle. A puddle? (Whispers) Yes. C’mon little guy, say your lines! You’re live right now! Welcome to puddle-springs aka the afterlife of a puddle. CUT! Eh? Why?! No edition or photoshop needed?! We’re short on puddle-staff. The camera is broken, I am broken, and you are broken. Wait! How can a puddle be broken? You are not a puddle, you are frozen yogurt. NOOOOOOOOOO! Additional summary: Spoiler: Spoiler Humanity has finally made the second step towards space. Many developments were taking place at the time this happened. All of them accomplished thanks to nanotechnology. Inventions regarding Artificial Intelligence and nanorobotics created the opportunity, a way to terraform planets by sending nanorobots to space. Their orders? Colonizing and preparing the new worlds before humanity's arrival, aka terraforming. Meet G00, a weird agglomeration of nanomachines. A bit stupid, but it's not because he was like that. The little guy... 'He' is really broken. The hardest start of a story is when language is oddly misunderstood, when you know nothing of the place you just arrived; when your companion is a buggy system, and when you have to repair yourself with whatever trash you can scavenge from your surroundings. All of this while you fight your worst enemy: potatoes? What will you do in an unfamiliar circumstance where nothing is what it seems and where you won't even understand the boring ramblings of a confused main character? Well, patience will... probably have a reward? Additional tags and disclaimers: Read before starting the story: Harem: Not included for the moment, depends on characters added, votes by readers, and things that happen on the go. Magic: Far away chapters maybe... as part of high level or non-understandable things by science. Slice of life: Probably some parts will include it. Disclaimer #1: Crazy amount of content about high-tech info-dumps, slow pace, starts with biology and nanotechnology. Might have some weird jokes and puns. Game bugs are also possible. Disclaimer #2: No puddles were harmed during the making of this story. No character is real, no real puddle was used as part of the cast. Character is stupid at the start on purpose but he will get beta and beta. All written content follows a logical approach no matter how stupid it appears to be, maybe… Because it’s just a raccoon splashing some cotton-candy over a puddle after it was thrown. Yup, a bully raccoon with rabies or so it seems.
