When the cat's away

{What kind of help may a God want from us?} (Fairy)
{Correct me if i am wrong but you fairies have telepathic connection between each others using plants and trees as medium right?} (Michael)
{As expected of a great arch-devil, you are very well informed... Yes that is the case...} (Fairy)
{So basically you can know what is happening everywhere as long as there's a forests nearby?} (Michael)
{That is correct.} (Fairy)
{Good! I want you all to be my information network...} (Michael)
[...]
{Why should we?} (Fairy)
'I first thought of threatening them but let's try this first.' (Michael)
{You should be well aware of my intentions!? I am with a young elf who's now an orphan because of humans. You as forest fairies you should naturally align toward elves who are forest protector instead of humans who tend to burn and cut them down don't you think?} (Michael)
[...]
{That would be a good assumption...} (Fairy)
{So... Deal?} (Michael)
{What kind of information might you be looking for?} (Fairy)
{Simple really, i want you to find any information about where elves might be hiding, and any suspicious human movements. Ho! And also i would like if you could find an area... Well guarded by natural defense like mountain or ravines, with very fertile grounds and ancient giant forests. If possible away from any other settlement...} (Michael)
{Hummm....} (Fairy)
Kiiiguiguiki kiguiguiiikiki ikikikikikik Guiguiikik ikikgui*
The fairies then seemed to deliberate for a while in a language that Lucifer didn't consider as one apparently since i couldn't understand it...
{Deal! But one of us will need to stay with you in permanence to assure constant communications...} (Fairy)

'HO! A new pet !' (Michael)
{Sure! Sure! Which one ? You?} (Michael)
{If that is good with you?!} (Fairy)
{Suuuree!! are you a boy or a girl? And what's your name ?} (Michael)
{I am a girl!!!! Obviously!!!! pout* [...] My name is Epipogiumaphyllum Dendrophylaxlindenii.} (Epipogiumaphyllum Dendrophylaxlindenii)
[...] [...] [...] [...]
'You fucking kidding me right?????' (Michael)
{Epipipo....tamus-chan... rrrrHa!! Fuck it your name is now Cellphone !} (Michael)
{Cellyfone? I like it !!! Hihihihi} (Cellphone) She said clapping her hands and flopping her feet about.
{Huhuhu good good! I like it too! Now let's go Cellphone we live in that cave over there! Careful not to make noises the little one's sleeping.. I'll make presentation tomorrow.} (Michael)
{Okeyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!} (Cellphone) She said while flying all around at high speed seemingly exited by the change in her routine.
{Ho!!ho!! Michael! I have info that some humans are nearby in the forest... It's quite a big group, and well armed...} (Cellphone)
{Huhuhu already very useful my little friend. Thank you! And by the way, when you receive information just let me know by saying 'Dring dring!' can you do that?} (Michael)
{Hihihi! Funny rules! I like it !! Weeee!} (Cellphone) Flying around while screaming weeee*
{Careful i told you the little elf was asleep...} (Michael)
{Oki oki oki sowwy!!! hihihihi!} (Cellphone)
'Sighhh' (Michael)
We then went back in the cave and i made sure the fire was well fed not wanting Ester to be cold while i kept talking with my new Cellphone. It's almost as if i could connect to internet via her... Quite useful.
Sobsobsob*
“mama... [...] papa ... sobsobsob*” (Ester)
'Poor child... still crying in her sleep...' (Michael)
I then get closer to Ester and start playing in her hairs with a few mana thread untangling then, slowly rubbing her back and cheeks. To that she smiled and stopped crying... She seemed reassured...

'I'm all she have now i guess... I wont let anything happen to you Ester. Anyone trying to hurt you will lose their heads.' (Michael)
{Why is she crying ? Why why why why?} (Cellphone)
{Long story, she basically lost her parent recently and only have me now.} (Michael)
{Bhuuuuuu i don't like sad stories...} (Cellphone)
{You asked...} (Michael)
[...]
{Dring! Dring!} (Cellphone)
{Yes?} (Michael)
{The group of humans... Well they appear to all have weapons meant to bring down dragons...} (Cellphone)
Hearing this i then start feeling worries, apprehension then finally... RAGE.
'They would dare!!!? MY DRAGON!' (Michael)
“Humm... Are you ok?” (Cellphone) Said my Cellphone most likely sensing the change in atmosphere while fidgeting.
{Which direction!!! NOW !} (Michael)
{Hiiiiiiiii Thhtthhis way!!!} (Cellphone) She then pointed in a direction.
{Ask your fairies friend to keep an eye on Ester and to tell you if anything happen. You come with me!} (Michael)
{Hu.? Yes?! Hiii ok!} (Cellphone)
We then rushed as quick as i could in the direction she led me to. A few moment later we entered a clearing where we could see a hundred well armed soldiers. They have set up a pile of wood in the entry of a large cave, most likely to smoke the dragon out in the open then use these large ballista to bring him down.
Ballista are basically incredibly large arbalet with also incredibly large arrows. They have around 10 of them layed in a semi-circular formation in front of the cave...
'As strong as he may be, with this much equipment they can definitely hurt him... I don't know about killing him tho.. I think those humans are underestimating the beast living in there...' (Michael)
{What do we do arch-devil Michael?} (Cellphone)
Then as i am expanding my mana over the battlefield with my blood-thirst going trough the roof i answered.
{Today my pet dragon will eat minced meat.} (Michael) Guhuhuhuhuhu*
{Dring dring !} (Cellphone)
{What now?} (Michael)
{A giant earth gecko is attacking the cave, my friends are trying to stop him be they can't do much. Ester is in danger !} (Cellphone)
{FUCKKK! Tell them to hang on! I'm coming straight away!!!!!} (Michael)
I then quickly launch mana spears destroying the 10 ballista before using my entire mana aura covering 200 square feet to vibrate the air and roar these words loud enough to pierce some of the men eardrums.
“DRWAAGON!!! WAYKE UP AND KWILL THE YUMANS!!!” (Michael) Earth shaking low pitch roar.
I then quickly left the area, running in Ester's direction.
'Please let me make it in time!!!!! Ester!!!! That gecko thingy! I'll FUCK IT UP THE ASS!' (Michael)

Dragon Knight Prophecy
A hero, a dragon, and a love that breaks all bounds. A fantasy story of a man trying to save his homeland from a terrible war by completing a prophecy nobody fully understands. To complete his mission he needs a dragon but the road to the dragon’s lair goes horribly wrong, and when he finally faces the beast he stands alone. A deeply emotional story that deals with pain, regret, betrayal, and failure. Despite it all somehow our heroes discover they need each other and slowly come together. With the help of some dedicated friends they realize their love is special, and go on to forge a new world befitting their unusual union. If you like dragons, romance, a little magic and a lot of war this might be for you. This story eventually evolves into a very loving harem, where the women rely on and love one another just as much as they love our hero. Please note: I am an amateur writer who started this story as a form of therapy while my wife was teetering on the brink of death. Thankfully she survived but by that point I was so committed to telling this story I couldn’t stop. I learned a great deal about writing over time but I am afraid my early chapters were very rough. I have since gone back and begun to edit them, applying the lessons learned and cleaning them up. I hope you will still enjoy the story, as I love sharing it and I can’t imagine a better use of my time. Sexual content.. In seven books I have written two sex scenes, but one of them will be highly edited once I reach them with my rewrite. Overall I imply our characters are sharing their love but don't go into any great detail as to how. So if sexual content bothers you, it is only lightly touched on twice.

So it turns out I'm tiny in another world…
After meeting with a horrible fate on an otherwise typical Martian day, Tsukino Sachiko finds herself stranded with only a surprisingly unremarkable alien for company. Join her as she battles giant monsters, strange locals, and feelings of insignificance in the hopes she might one day return to a world that makes sense. AN: This story is an attempt to overcome insecurity regarding the quality of my writing by practicing with intentional schlock. "Just write," as the advice goes. While it may not be masterfully plotted, the subject matter is one close to my heart and one that I endeavor to explore in a new light. After all, who ever heard of the fairy sidekick being an isekai protagonist? Cover image © Vanish under the terms of the CC BY-ND 2.0 license.

Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).

Or maybe it is the cosmic beings who find out suffering amusing. No, what decides this is power. I am Joshua Foley and I will becomes the monster which even the mighty celestials fear. A/n: first 15 chapter have poor editing because they are close to the heart and I don't wanted to change them. This novel was first uploaded on webnovel and there i wrote it just to get out of depression thats why i didn't editied first few chapters because there was no plan to continue this but some of my readears were so supporting that I thought why not make a great book that they deserve to read. That's why I didn't edited the first few chapters because they remind me of tge promise that i made. Some of them told me too post it here. So here it is.

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
