《Lucid Dream》Chapter 4: When an idiot is in charge, everyone suffers
Advertisement
*High Elder of Krono Clan*
"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?" I bellowed furiously at the imbecile at my feet. "You went agaisnt my explicit instruction to not touch the Southern Gang. Who do you think you are?" I kicked the idiot one more time because I could.
"I am the son of the Patriarch. You can not treat me like this." This motherfucker. I picked him up by the neck, punched his gut out then kicked it back in.
"Guess what your father said when he handed you over to me. I have full controll over turning you into a man worthy to lead our clan instead of a whinny, ignorance little shit that you are now. That is exactly what he said." I sat down with a masterful angry huff that I had practiced for years.
"What does this have to do with a bunch of street thugs?" He caressed his face which I hadn't touch by the way, and asked the most stupid question I had ever heard in my life.
I sighed forlornly, worried about the future of the clan when this idiot got to be in charge. Maybe I should prepare for a coup in case he was too hopeless.
"That 'bunch of street thug' control a third of the country. Do you think we let them be because we want to? Do you think you are smarter than the whole clan? Huh?" I answered while sipping some cool matcha latte to calm down which turned out to be impossible with the second most stupid question in my life.
"Why? They are just normal people with a single mutant in the midst." He whined some more because I hadn't beaten him up enough, which I proceeded to deliver more.
"We call him Nyarlathotep, the embodiment of Nightmare, the Thousand Forms Malignance. Those who crosses him shall face horrible, unspeakable retribution." I muttered what I read in the archive of powerful mutant.

"H.P Lovecraft? Seriously?" Our future Patriarch inquired dumbfoundedly.
"Hey, it's not my fault the archivist are into Cosmic Horror. The point is we are in serious trouble if he decided to crash our front gate and demand an answer."
"Too late." I heard an eerie voice whispered into my ear. I instantly whipped my elbow around only to meet thin air.
"Is that how you greet your old friend?" Asked the young man infront of me, his face oddly blurry and to my horror, I was barely sensing him despite the dude literally 2 metres away from bashing my face in. He was sitting on the prone form of our( hopefully) unconscious young master.
"Nyar, we can talk this out. It's just the young calf doing stupid thing." I trod carefully. Even my whole clan of genetically superior human(GSH) ganged up on him wouldn't ensure our victory. Not much I can do by myself.
"Yeah? You can talk it out with my fist first."
Oh shit!
*Five minutes later*
I laid on the floor cursing twenty generations of the moron who got me into this mess. Ouch, even cursing silently made my whole body shiver in pain, which in turn caused even more pain.
I struggled to stand up, thanks the gods for my branch focus more on defense and fast regeneration or I might not even survive the one-sided beating. Oh and also thanks my ancestor for the bastard not using any of his weird power on me.
I looked through the paper Nyar left on the barely intact table and thanks the Cosmic Horror, may they take the bastard back to their place, that he didn't ask for anything too outrageous.
---
I let this go with a light punishment in hindsight of our friendship. I want everyone involve in this shitshow to leave behind a limb of their own choosing, because I am a generous human being. That include the little bitch or I will knock on your HQ front door to do so myself.

Btw, compensation fee will be 500 millions in cash, send it to my uncle.
Send my "fuck you" to the old fart
---
I shuddered at the mayhem his 'knock on front door' caused two years ago at our HQ. The Patriarch was beaten two rounds around Hell and back, literally. His heart stopped twice in half an hour. The living Nightmare somehow jumpstarted back his heart and proceeded to beat him to death again. It was like death looked at the sence then went 'nope, I'm not dealing with this nutjob'.
"Well, it is what it is." I uttered absentmindedly then kicked the mentioned little bitch.
"Ah, woah, piss bucket" he exclaimed. If I was not a GSH, I would have facepalmed a hole through my face already.
"Pick, arm or leg, left or right" I demanded, too tired for his bullshit.
"What are you talking about?" The buffoon asked through a tsunami of confusion.
"Whatever, I will leave the right arm for your future jerking off." Because I am a gracious and considerate elder. I then chopped his left arm clean off with my barehand, and let the regeneration kicked in.
"AGHHHHHH, WHAT THE FUCK?" Understandably, he squealed like a pig in a slaughter house.
"Hahh, I wonder how I would break this to your father." I sighed for the nth time today.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
