《The Joy of Evolution》Mother?!
Advertisement
Where am I? It’s pitch-black no matter where I look? Am I blind?! How did that happen, what was I doing I think I was just laying in bed? I should try to learn about my surrounding.
I attempt to move my arms; I can't, but yet I feel resistance. I push against using something like a limb; I don't know, but I know it's not my arms, my legs, maybe?
I push and push and PUSH! The resistance gives, but nothing else changes. I pushed through the spot where I broke the resistance.
And slide through.
[Congratulations, Welcome to your alternative life]
Huh, who was that, she sounds nice, very robotic, but strangely familiar, like too familiar I should recognize who this is. Wait, can you repeat what you just said?
[...] No response, m'kay.
[Your Soul has been chosen for transfer, please use your new body well.]
Wait, what?! So I didn't hear wrong?! I must be hallucinating. Yes, that is the only logical explanation, I must have gotten drugged by someone, but who would drug me. I mean, ME?! I don't even have any money, and my parents are dead, who would ever want to kidnap me?! Out of all the people, you could kidnap it's me, geez?!
I flop out of wherever I was and I can see now, well at least partly and without any color. My vision also seems to be a bit larger than usual, but maybe it's just the drugs.
Mmm, no it is not the drugs, as I can blurrily make out the weird fleshy egg sac that I came out of. Eww, that looks gross, I was in there?! I can see around me but only about 3 meters anything past that is just black.
And Brhh, why is it so cold in here, I feel like I'm in winter naked?

[Your new species name is Suctioner Hatchling]
Oh, your voice warms me a little, disembodied robot lady. But would you care to elaborate?
[...]
No, m’kay… WHAT THE FLIP FLAPPIN' SNAPSHOT BEANS DO YOU MEAN MY SPECIES HAS CHANGED?! I AM A HUMAN, H-U-M-A-N! Say it with me!
[...]
I quickly look myself over to make sure that my species has not changed. But, it is rapidly becoming less likely the longer this goes on. I can’t see myself directly, but I can sense where my eyesight comes from and I exert that to determine what I look like. Not a particular human-like process now that I think of it.
But I can determine that I am a ball with little suction appendages. I look like a virus if it got ballooned to well at least seeable size, I don't know how big I am. But besides that.
OH GOD WHY, WHY AM I A CREEPY LITTLE DISGUSTING BALL OF FLESH?!
*schlink*
Wha… what was that I could feel the vibrations against my new appendages and where it came from but, I don't see anything.
I put focus toward where it came from and I still don't see anything!
*schlink*
A large whitish appendage slams onto the ground and locks in place, the little sucker part could easily fit my entire body. My entire ball body cramps like a deer in headlights. Another appendage comes and another and another until I see a much larger ball body with many appendages around the body as it comes directly toward me.
I start running err rolling, no matter, my life is at stake all that matters is I get the heck out of here! Unlike a human though who doesn't know if they are getting further away from their chaser, I do. A blessing and a curse in my opinion as I can clearly, tell that I am not escaping that sucky ball.

As it gets closer, I can tell that each appendage is not only sucking the ground, but also digging into it as it leaves bite marks on the ground, but you know small details. As I book it at maximum output, my stamina drains from my body as I roll at turbo speed. I’m not fast enough, and I end up getting squished and picked up by that monster ball.
My body ends up being squished into the ground literally as I get repeatedly get rolled into the air and back into the rocky ground. I use my vision to look around, and I see many other white balls in the monster’s grasp that look oddly the same shape as me right now. I then realized...
[You have gained one Biomass.]
Well, It was then I realized that those were my brothers. And guess who mother was?!

Sokaiseva
Erika Hanover received her magic on her twelfth birthday—far earlier than anyone was supposed to—and suddenly, everything in her life made sense. Magic could solve everything. Magic was all she'd ever wanted. When she was offered a spot on the roster of a mercenary group policing magic-tinged crime in her home of upstate New York, she jumped at the chance. Anything to get away from her hometown. It didn't matter what the work was. She didn't care. Now, though, with almost a decade between herself and her time as a child soldier with the Radiant, things aren't as clear as they used to be. Part slice-of-life, part coming-of-age, part surreal absurdist nightmare, Sokaiseva is the tale of a shell-shocked shadow-war's veteran recounting her time growing up as the last line of defense in a world secretly teetering on the brink of disaster. Book Two (Teardrop Two-Step) is going live now! New chapters go up Wednesday and Sunday.

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.
