You could call me crazy. You could call me a freak. But I would do anything if it was for us. No matter who got in the way. No matter who hurt you. I would do anything to protect you. Because at the end of the day you are always a fighter. Because if you can’t fight for your love then Your love isn’t worth fighting for. Did I want to kill them? No. Did I need to kill them? Yes. Because they were going to hurt you, hurt us. And I couldn’t stand us getting hurt. So I did what I needed to do. You could call me crazy. You could call me a freak. But I would do anything if it was for us.

As the last of the mist was expelled from her lips the man holding onto her stiffened further. He could only watch on helplessly as her silver eyes that used to glower at him with disdain slowly dim. His hands quiver out of despair and helplessness. "Wang Lan Biyu, keep your eyes on me. Do not fade away yet, do you hear me? I don't permit you to die!" The woman's pale face splashed with bits of blood rose into a weak disdainful smile. "You-*gasp..still want *gasp to act better than me..in the end*cough-" His eyes redden as another splash of red covers her pale lips. "Lan Biyu..." "-Chuanli*cough my guqin from master,...you hold onto it for me...ok?" Her last sentence was a faint weak whisper before her eyes flutter close shaking his heart and rattling his mind. "Lan Biyu!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Please be civilized and don't steal my cover as your own.

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing!

"This is your new reality. Find me, defeat me, and you will be free."" These were the final words of Kaito Nakamura, the mastermind behind Eternal Nexus, a VRMMORPG that turned into a deadly nightmare. On the day of its release in 2030, over 50,000 players were trapped inside when Nakamura uploaded his consciousness into the game and cut off any possibility of logging out. The ultimate twist? Death in the game meant death in real life. Any attempt to unplug the player from the VIZion system would instantly kill them. Five years have passed since that horrific day. Only 10,000 players remain. With the world desperate for a solution, the world governments launched Project: GRIM REAPER—an elite operation to send ten of the most skilled individuals from around the globe into Eternal Nexus. Their mission: locate Nakamura’s in-game avatar, defeat him, and bring an end to this death trap once and for all. My name is Rei Kurogane, and I was chosen to be one of the ten. I’m not a professional gamer, unlike the others. I’m a Kenjutsuka—a practitioner of the ancient art of swordsmanship. My brother and sister are among the thousands still trapped in the game. I have no choice but to enter this virtual hell, not as a player, but as a warrior determined to save them. Nakamura started this game. I will end it—with my own hands.
