《Re:Immortal》Prologue

“S-Stop it! Stop this madness!” I shouted.
I was surrounded by people from a small village. The faces I know, the buildings I lived in, the voices I recognize. Those people are now telling me, that I am a monster.
I look down. Under me there is a pile of wood, and I am tied to a stake. The sun is shining at me, as I look around.
“K-Kill him!” one of the villagers says, as he throws a large rock at me.
It hits me in the leg, crushing it. It hurts! It hurts so much! Someone… please, save me! Save me! Save me, please!
My leg gets swollen, but a few seconds later it regenerates. It looks as if nothing happened... as if there was no injury at all.
“P-Please! S-Stop this!” I scream in pain, and tears escape my eyes. Some of the villagers turn around, not to look at me. Mostly children and women.
“Shut up you demon! You won’t deceive us!” the elder says, as he looks at me. There is a torch in his hand.
“No! Don’t do this! Please! Don’t do this! No! No! Stop this!”
He slowly approaches me, and sets the wood on fire. It takes him some time, but it finally starts burning. He then looks at me with a smile.
“A demon should die like one.”
“Stop! Please! Believe me!” I shout, as the hot air touches me.
And then I feel it.
My legs are on fire.
There is no way for me, to endure the pain I feel. There are no words, that can describe the horror of this moment. I’m burning alive, and I can only scream. I try to move, but I’m tied tightly. I try to release myself, I try to do anything, but there is nothing I can do.

My skin is slowly peeling off from my legs, as my clothes catch the fire. I try to breathe, but smoke is the only thing I inhale. I cough… I cough so much...
“Stop! Stop! Help me! God! Help! God, help me! No! No!”
I look at them with pain. I look at them, but they don’t look at me. Even the man that did this to me, can’t look me in the eyes.
I’m burning alive. Every inch of my body is screaming in agony. It hurts! It hurts so much! Please, stop it! Please, someone help me! My eyes, I can’t see anything! Help me! Help!
My body is regenerating, while it’s burning. I regain my sight, only to lose it again. My burnt limbs heal themselves rapidly, only to burn once more. My body melts...
It hurts... It hurts... Please, it hurts... Please, someone... It hurts so much... It hurts... Someone… please… kill me.

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.
