Mysterious Skin

Mysteries of Eryndor

And in any other world, Ethan Cross would have said that things couldn't get any worse. Stranded in a dead-end job, with his inability to publish a successful game forever gracing the mirror in his apartment like a failing beauty mark, he woke up one morning to find himself somewhere - not quite anywhere, but without a doubt definitely not where he belonged. Welcome to Eryndor: A world of swords and sorcery where System Interfaces govern the universe. But this isn't a dream-it's a nightmare. Instead, it's a hellhole where players from all walks of life live out their lives according to the whims of quest objectives, experience points, and an almost always-invisible Game Master always pulling at strings. Ethan's system is special, giving him power over redoing the very fabric of Eryndor. However, he has no clue as to what it does and what he cannot do. Assisting him in learning his newfound abilities are a rather motley crew of adventurers who appear to view his powers as some sort of asset on their quest to find answers to the world, impossible odds, and solving the mysteries of the Fractured Realms—zones that contain secrets capable of rewriting rules in the game itself. But as Ethan probes deeper, it is increasingly evident that this isn't a game. It's a crucible-and the price of failure far greater than anyone had imagined. Will Ethan conquer the System, rally allies, and unravel Eryndor's ultimate mystery? Or will he share the fate of countless others who have been swallowed by the void? The game's begun, and there's no logout.

Although today I'm a bit happy that I'm turning eighteen cause i now have the right to leave my uncles house. Since i woke up I've been staring at the ceiling thinking of what to do on this day a then i heard a voice "make a wish" i just obeyed and closed my eyes " I wish to have something that no one has and can ever have something beyond imagination, something mysterious, extraordinary and magical. I wish for love " After i made this wish i felt an adrenaline rush through me giving me chills and goosebumps all over my body. I stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Although i felt this sharp pain on my back which i quickly ignored, i took off my clothes and stepped inside the bathroom. I adjusted the water temperature to how i like it and i turned it on while humming a song. The first splash on my body was so refreshing. I let my hair down and as the waters flowed down my body cooling every nerve in my bones. But then all of a sudden i felt this sharp pain that made me scream and fell to the ground and then i saw something like feathers wrapped around me. It all felt like an illusion. I felt the pain quickly subside and i gradually stood up. What seemed like feathers was actually attached to back. I looked through my left shoulder and saw wings on my back. I doubted it and went to front of my bathroom mirror and to my greatest surprise there was wings directly coming out from my skin it had colour like flames a mixture of red and gold. My hair which was normally shoulder length blonde was now long down to my waist and was now red with gold edges. My eyes were literally flaming it was sparkling. I held my mouth from screaming this is theoretically impossible. I heard when my door burst open and i was naked in my bathroom confused. All of a sudden the wings and hair everything changed back to normal. It was no one else that barged into my room but toby, one of my cousin's. I quickly dragged a towel and hid by my bathroom door but he already saw me. Toby is one of the people i dislike because he has always wanted to have his way with my body this has gotten me really scared of being home alone. I caught a sinister smile on his face and he went back and locked my door and placed the keys in his pocket. I ran out from the bathroom and hid by my bed wrapping myself with my blanket "i never knew today will be my lucky day " as he spoke he walked towards me. "Who would have thought that i and oris would be the only ones at home today" upon hearing this i shivered " i like what i just saw ".He licked his lips "please toby don't hurt me " i could hear my heart racing and my eyes were watery "i really don't care if i do" the more he got closer i shifted backwards until i reached the wall and no where to run to i burst into tears pleading with him not to hurt me but he gave deaf ears, he dragged the blanket away from me and threw me on the bed. I was fighting to run away but he climbed on me and tried forcing me to kiss him and i bit him " you bitch" he punched me on the face and i could taste something thick i guessed it was blood "you are gonna pay" the next moment he was kicking off his pant. I kept on fighting and kicking but it couldn't do anything on his frame instead it angered and he smacked my cheeks and punched me several times until i got weak but i still struggled. Gradually
