《Life Zero》|Chapter 2| Slivery Moon
Advertisement
Violent waves crashed onto the rocks covered in blood washing away the stain into the ocean. A young girl probably only ten years of age, braids their long hair the colour of fresh snow. Dark purple gloomy eyes glance around the blood bath as a frown grew on their face. Shiny bright on the kid was the silvery moon lighting up the dark midnight sky. Mountain that reaches for the sky surround the cosy little bay blocking out lookers from the beautiful view. Tree swayed in the breeze as the kid sang the lullaby to all the predators in the dark.
“Flowers glow on all night,
May your soul rest tonight,
Burn all those who that have no clue,
Make them all so blue~~~”
Demons and monsters lurk in the shadows as they listen to the sweet tone as they move along to the beat. Even though they tear the throat of children that lurk to close to their home. Young but not so naïve knew of the red eyes staring holes in their back but pay it no mind. She had more things on her mind that were more important than them.
Alone she was no family, no friends to call her own but they were breathing and laughing not so long ago. Death was not new to her but someone close was a whole new deal to her. It was karma, wasn’t it? Her species a siren that lure all who dare step in their ocean to their death. On her mother side she was a powerful witch who could destroy many lands. She was just like the monsters and demons that surround her though she just like them. She didn’t mind if people call her a monster, demon etc.
Suddenly, she leaps up and headed toward the darkness that had become her home. Monster welcome her back, as she wanders further into the treeline as the large trees loomed over her. Slowly, making her way back to the village she picked up some herbs hidden in the lush forest. She soon reached a small fishing village off the coast of the Creal Ocean. Lanterns still illuminating dirty cold streets, not a noise could be heard. ‘Weird’ she though as she slowed and hide in the shadows. Even at when the moon is at its peek the drunken men and women sing and shout all night long. When she smelt the ever so similar scent of iron made her freeze to the spot. Her eyes darted around to find the source of the smell every second maker her heart spike. Blood covered walls with bodies parts scattered all through the empty streets.

She may be able to take humans, but she knows this is not the work of a human. Shown by the limbs ripped clean off and the sense of magic in the air; though some humans have magic has a different feel to it. She stood her ground as she continues to find the new predator. Speaking of the devil, a tall figure marched down the bloody street with long darken blades in both of his hands. Midnight black hair slobby pulled into a ponytail revealing slivery eyes with a tint of blue. His skin was more tanned though it looks like he hadn’t seen the sun in years. Painfully, he grew closer and closer she was no fool she would not be able to take down the man.
“Come out of hiding!” his voiced not as deep as she though it would be. She still hides in the darkness watching with hawk his as the man. She bites down on her lip until the sweet liquid filled her taste buds. “If you come out now, I’ll spare your life” his voiced betrayed him as it was obvious, he was lying. She let out a giggle that made even the older man freeze and darted around to find her. Even if she died, she would have some fun~. “My my what are you doing here … monster” She added a bit too much malice than she meant to, but it hit a nerve. He frowned his brows and straightened up more and murder intent seep through the air. ‘I’m so fucked’

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

My Hundredth Life
I was an ordinary guy, living an ordinary life, until it happened. What we came to call the "Reality Break". Monsters started spawning in the streets, Mana flowed through our veins, Skills and Abilities were unlocked, and everyone had a Status Screen. I was living my dream, an RPG apocalypse! Until I died, that is. And woke up in a new world...where I died again. And again. With each death, a new incarnation, a new game world, and new scars upon my soul. Now, at my 99th death, I just wish it would end...but unlike in some of the worlds I have "played" in, this time my wish is not granted. *** Author's Note: This is my first 'serious' attempt at writing a story. I am hoping to turn ths into a series that I can publish to Amazon, but my life is a bit hectic right now, so I can't make any guarantees. However, I have serious reasons for writing at this point in my life, so I will do my best to provide this new twist to the LitRPG genre and keep it up for as long as possible. Thank you, to anyone who reads this. *Also, tags might change depending on how the story goes, there may be mild profanity or mild sexual content, but I have not decided yet.
