《Better Days》 Chapter 1 digging my own grave i was 27 when i received the letter saying that i was required to join the combat medics in the upcoming war. it was morning when i read it , eating breakfast with my wife, when i told her i was going , she started to complain. she said things like "why are they sending you ", "could they send someone else", "please don''t go" i continued to read the latter, it says i have 1 week to prepare and they would pick me up then after spending 1 week preparing and being together with my wife, they eventually came. "knock" knock" i told my wife goodbye ,then she tightly hugged me i could see tears falling down from her face , she said goodbye and be safe , don''t die. i reply by hugging her and kissing her in the lips , then i turned around and opened the door i saw two soldiers , they were telling me to follow them and so i did. before completely closing the door i saw my wife crying on the floor after a couple of hours i was in a bus with people that were also chosen to join the combat medics. i graduated top of class in med school i was on my way to be becoming a doctor before this happened but now i''m on my way to the naval base where we will be trained for 4 years before going to the frontlines the bus eventually stopped and the training begun ,we were taught how to hold a gun, how to defend yourself unarmed , battle formations, do''s and don''t''s in the field ,how to survive. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. 5 years later i was promoted to HM2: Hospital Corpsman Second Class for my outstanding work during my training , it did not matter to me, my only goal was to come back home to my wife. i was assigned to the frontlines ,where most of fighting happened together with 6 of my colleagues , we did our best to treat wounded men but medicines were scarce,sometimes when we were running low on anesthesia ,we operate without it ,pulling bullets from the bodies ,cutting off infected limb ,stitching wounds, its was terrible 1 year later it was the middle of winter i was assigned to an outpost to treat more than a hundred men it was going smoothly before the outpost was attacked ,all of my staff and the soldiers died then they got to me , i was smoking , looking at reports when i heard the alarmed, suddenly a big explosions could be heard through the walls of my office "BOOM" what follows were gunshots and people shouting ,i quickly took my pistol from my side and run towards the door. when suddenly "BOOM" the place where the door was, was gone and i was sent flying towards the wall i hit the wall with my head causing me to black out =================================== yepp that''s the end of chapter 1, hope you like it chapter 2 Digging my own grave part 2 i could feel the breeze of the wind passing through my face, even though i slowly open my eyes , the sun still blinds me still i need to see where i am ,so i force myself to open my eyes ,then i slowly sit up right , i do what my instincts tell me to do ,that is to survey the scene but all i could see was grass surrounding me , that goes beyond the horizon. i notice only one tree is present among the fields of grass , so i go there cause i would like to go under the shade to hide from the blinding sun the tree was around 100 meters away from me , it will take me around 20 minutes to get to the tree, so i start walking while walking towards the tree , i thought about things, things like "where am i", "how long i was i out". "why is there was only one tree in the middle of a grass field", but i eventually stop asking because it didn''t seem anyone would answer me as i come closer to the tree , i didn''t notice the tree was actually was very big around 50 ft tall. i was about to enter the area where the shade falls, when i notice that someone was here , A woman around her 20''s , she had light golden hair , long enough to touch the ground , i could only describe her face with one word beautiful she was wearing a simple white dress , she was leaning on the tree , before she notice me ,she was closing her eyes enjoying the breeze . when we faced each other she smile at me, she began to talk when i was about 2 meters away from her, she said (unknown woman); hello,my name is Lucy i reply, hi i''m Logan (Lucy):nice to meet you Logan, you know something is bothering me. (Logan):nice to meet you too Lucy, what''s bothering you Lucy? , could i do anything to help? (Lucy):actually yes Lucy then kneels to pick something up from the ground, it was a journal and pencil then she handed it to Logan. (Lucy): i wanted to write a story about a guy who died and was reborn to a different world to save 13 princess but i don''t know how would the guy start out and what class and skills he should have. (Logan): i could help, if you want. Lucy smiles (Lucy); thanks we then sit together leaning on the tree ,writing down things and laughing at some of my suggestion. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. (Lucy): so we got down how would that guy start out, now we need to choose what class and skills he should have, how about a knight for a class ? what do you think? (Logan): A knight huh? hmm kinda boring ,maybe knight of something like a goddess (Lucy): how about "knight of Lucy The goddess of Life and death" (Logan): it''s kinda long , maybe "knight oF Lucy" (Lucy): that''s fine too. (Logan): Now we got the class, what should be his basic and unique skills (Lucy): i''m not sure what skills to give him, maybe we should let me him learn the skills through his journey and choose 6 unique skills. (Logan): hmm letting him learn skills through his journey could be interesting so it''s fine , 6 unique skills huh? i have an idea how about 2 unique skills based on poisons ,2 based on cures and 1 could be power of the mind like telekinesis , fast learning and photographic memory. what do you think? (Lucy): I''m fine with it but it''s only 5 (Logan): the last one could be like a curse than a skill (Lucy): i like that, How about if his "will to live" is gone or when he is about to die, he will go into a lapse causing the psychotic ,evil ,chaotic part of his soul would temporarily take over until the danger is gone or his "wil" have returned. but the side effects of this is when the evil part takes over it consumes a piece of the good part so it''s a good idea to not use this one too much. (Logan): wow you really thought about that one (Lucy): yeah so what do you think? (Logan): I''m satisfied , it''s good enough , do you need help with the story too? (Lucy): neh , i''m sure it will write itself Lucy starts to look at Logan with a face that says farewell then she says (Lucy): it time for me to go , you should wake up soon , good luck ,bye suddenly everything turns to black, Logan thinks to himself (Logan): so it was all a dream , huh and i''m about to wake up the ground under Logan feet vanish and he was falling into nothingness ================== that was chapter 2, hope you like chapter 3 Digging my own grave part 3 (Logan): Cold... (unknown enemy soldier): i found one alive (unknown enemy commander ): quickly! tie him up and put a bag over his head, NOW! (unknown enemy soldiers): Yes! Maam! Before they put a bag over my head , i was able to see what was left of the outpost, it was overrun by the enemy, everyone of my staff and the outpost''s soldier were dead , i was the only one who survive one soldier was tying of both arms and one was holding me down then everything went black but i know i didn''t faint , someone had already put a bag over my head. i could not hear what they were saying because they had put a headset on my head and played rock songs at least it''s not something annoying i was forced to sit inside a vehicle, there was one soldier on my left and one on my right after an unknown amount of time , we got off the vehicle and they took off the bag and the stopped music we arrived someplace that looked like a camp, i was shoved to walk towards the doors of a building, a guard approaches us and talk to my escorts, they were just dropping me off i actually know where i am, a place where i will be interrogated and experimented on, a place where prisoners are treated like lab rats, i was a about to enter one of the enemy''s research labs. when i was still in training we were given a red pill which when swallowed will cause a fast and painless death, we were told to never to get captured by the enemy because they will not kill you,they will first extracted information out of you by using all kinds of methods like hypnosis, drugs,torture ,you are very lucky to die because after they are finished, they would start experimenting on your body like what would happen if they replace your human ears for cat ears ,it''s recommended to die rather to be captured The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. but the outpost was caught off guard and when they were holding me down, they took everything and even strip my clothes off except for my boxers and was not able to swallow the red pill coming back to the present, they were leading me to my cell, before i notice a map of the territories they captured, the place where my house was located was already marked. suddenly thoughts about my wife being rape, torture and experimented on ran through my head i fell to the floor, the guard was surprise at my sudden actions and got angry and started to yell, i was lost, my love is already dead, all hope was lost, my will to live was slowly fading . my mind was no longer clear The Skill "Unyielding soul" has been activated (Logan): AAAHHHH!!! then everything went black
