The System Won't Let Me Die

KeihatsuZero
…Fuck my life… The thought was the first thing to stroke into Ryckel's mind. He woke with a scream that died in his throat. Frantically breathing in and out, only to feel the warmth and dampness at him. Like he was breathing onto something too close. Not open air. Something was wrong. He knew this familiar feeling. He was wearing a gas mask. He coughed until every fiber in his body begged him to stop. He wasn't on a bed or anywhere close to the ground. Gravity was the first thing Ryckel felt, and it was a lie. It tugged at his worn out shoes, trying to drag him into the abyss, but his body stayed anchored by a sickening, internal tension. He opened his eyes and saw only red. The Bleeding Hour. The mist was a thick crimson veil on his surroundings. How did it get to the Red Dark?! Wondering, he then looked down. He saw more red, with not a ground in sight. His body slowly swayed, the wind howling but Ryckel wasn't falling. He was held by thick, oily black ropes that punched clean through his thighs and ribs. H-How… How was I even still alive? Ryckel questioned but never complained. Oddly enough, it didn't hurt like it should. Only feeling a fading dull sting. How did all of this happen?! ------ Shout out to @scholarofyore0 for helping me out with the power system, really appreciate it.

Hololive Chronicles.

This story unfolds amid a fierce conflict between two powerful factions: the Myths and the Council. The Council, an authoritative and enigmatic organization, seeks to impose its will by eliminating anyone who dares to oppose or challenge its authority. Their methods are ruthless, reflecting a desire to maintain control at any cost, and they stop at nothing to enforce their decrees upon the world. Standing in direct opposition to this oppressive force are the Myths, warriors and defenders committed to halting the Council’s destructive ambitions in order to preserve freedom and justice. At the heart of this conflict are two compelling figures whose paths and allegiances starkly contrast. Alex Garcia, a disciplined Warrior Monk hailing from the Forsaken Monks order, is renowned as the "Iron Fist." His journey as a wandering adventurer is marked by unwavering dedication to justice and the defense of the oppressed, which leads him to join the Myths in their desperate fight against the Council’s overwhelming power. In contrast, Brian Bautista represents the shadowy precision of the Hunters Blade Shinobi. Known as the "Fist of Fury," Brian is a skilled mercenary for hire whose lethal abilities make him an invaluable asset to the Council. His decision to align with the Council and become their sixth member not only strengthens their ranks but also intensifies the personal and ideological clash between him and Alex. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, power, and morality as these two warriors navigate their intertwined destinies amidst escalating violence and political intrigue. The struggle between the Myths and the Council is more than a mere battle; it is a profound contest over the future of their world, where choices carry weighty consequences and alliances are continuously tested. Will Alex and the Myths succeed in stopping the Council’s tyranny, or will Brian and the Council prevail, ushering in an era of unchallenged control? This story delves deeply into the complexities of conflict, honor, and the enduring fight for what is right.
