《DK (Dropped)》Chapter XVIII - The plot armor is great in Slumbering
Advertisement
Once again I was underground, making my mind feel so relaxed.
"This is so fucking relaxing!" I shouted to myself, in a status of ecstasy.
(Before I forget about it, open skill tab!) I commanded in my thoughts.
Suddenly the tab appeared, showing everything that I made so far.
(Start Weak Shadow Minion!)
Weak Shadow Minion ETA: 3 Hours
"Now that I confirmed that the wasps are truly my allies with command vision, I think I should get a shadow minion to check out the west since going into that direction might be suicide, even with a 20 wasp escort."
With that part done, I closed the skill tab and rested.
At some point, I thought for a second to rise up, but then, a strange force made me not do it, it's like that feeling you have when you wake up after your most perfect comfortable sleep, and the only thing that you wish, is to not leave the bed.
(I think this should be enough to prevent those blackouts for some time.) I was thinking that maybe those blackouts where because I had spent a long time out of my grave.
Finally, I decided to open my vision and returned to the surface.
Like a tiny earthquake sound, I rose up from my grave.
The first thing I saw were the two wasps at the entrance, armed with what it seemed to be spears, followed by three wasps who were on my right side, using bunny blood to make sure the drawings would not disapear.
At that moment, the five wasps froze as they simply stared at me.
(Are they expecting something? Or is it just shyness?) I wondered in my thoughts as I stared at them (Anyways, I will simply wait, it is already good enough that they have not been wiped out while I was resting!)

Five seconds later, one of the wasps at the entrance turned his back to the outside, he appeared to be signaling someone only to turn his face to me again.
(I wonder where Cleopatra and the Generals are? Giving them the three red cloths was worth the trouble, as it seems, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart from the young wasps, well, with the exception of the obvious scar that Caesar has on his left eye!)
In the end, the only different wasp of their race, were queens like Cleopatra as they had a bigger abdomen compared to the rest of the Hive.
A few seconds later, a group of wasps entered the Hive.
It was being led by two wasps at the front. Wich had red cloths, one with a spear, the second one had a scar and two swords.
(Something happened while I was gone, I am seeing too many spears!) I saw that half of the group carried a spear.
The two generals sat down on their usual places in front of me as the rest of the group did the same behind them.
As they were more close, I noticed the details of the spears. (Oh! Those spears are not like the first two?)
While the first two spears were made of wood and both had an iron tip, these new spears had tips of wood.
(In the end, they look like oversized toothpicks to me! Oh wait, the size difference, looks more like an arrow to me?) I was huge compared the weapons that were made for people half of my size.
Suddenly, Caesar broke the silence.
"O Great White God! We hope that you took a fine rest, please be at ease as we did not slack while you were in your slumber!"

(Ragnar) "Yes! We have hunted, trained and taken care of our young for three days! Those with the wood tip spears were turned into warriors after getting our approval!"
(Wait a second, did he just say three days? I slept for three fucking days?!? No, wait, I went at sleep at midday, he said three days, that means I slept for 2 days and a half?)
"Tell me, where did you get those wood tip spears?" I inquired the wasps.
"Great DK! It was Leonidas idea of using the tree branches of the huge trees!" (Ragnar) "Please don't worry! He did not cut any of your trees down! And I am sure that everything we used will grow back eventually!"
(I don't really mind about the trees, but it is good that they worried about me caring about trees in my land!)
"Good, that way you will have plenty of wood tip spears without spending the forest trees!" (DK)
Even so, these spears were not much of a deal, it looked like they were very easy to break.
"So, I assume that no Arach attack has happened yet?" (DK)
"Fortunately, not yet!" (Caesar)
(This is very weird, there should be any kind of enemy movement by now right?) I wondered what was the reason for such ignorance from the Arach to this Hive.
"Please do not be afraid of what comes next!" I warned the wasps.
(Come to me, Weak Shadow Minion!) I shouted in my mind as I rose my right arm.
Slowly, a dark shadow appeared between me and the wasps, it looked like a black spirit, with two red eyes that seemed to be made of pure blood.
The wasps were surprised by this new creature as most of them showed fear to it.
(Amazing! I can see trough the shadow minion's eyes!)
"Go scout the western forest of this valley at once!" I proudly commanded.
The shadow minion nodded and immediately flew away, heading west.
As it disappeared, Caesar asked me. "W-What was that? Great DK!"
"Just one of my servants." I casually informed him.
Everyone stood silent.
(Was that little thing really that scary?) I wondered what would happen if they had seen the next level of the shadow minion.
"Well, it seems its almost supper time." (DK) "Should we call everyone, so we can all eat together?"
The thought of eating bunnies completely erased the shadow minion appearance from Caesar's mind.
"Yes! Excellent idea Great DK!" Caesar shouted with joy.
The rest of the waps in the room also agreed, so Ragnar took a few wasps to call everyone and fetch the food.
(It's time to check on everyone, nothing like a big meal to do it!)
Meanwhile, the shadow minion was already exploring the middle of the western forest.
Suddenly, it heard several noises.
(It seems the shadow minion can also share what it ears to me!)
(Follow those noises!) I commanded it.
As the shadow minion got closer, it was better to identify the noises.
(It sounds like barking, scratching and owling? Also a mixed of bones being broken?)
Finally, the shadow arrived at the commotion.

Rebirth of Destiny I
In a world where magical runes called Rebirths rest in the hands of hostile nations, fourteen-year-old Aiden lived a quiet life in a small town conveniently named Khalm. Born with crescent-shaped irises and silver hair, young Aiden was never bothered by his unusual birthmarks until the night his life as a simple delivery boy changed. He was the 'Rebirth Destroyer', someone ruling powers deemed a threat. Chased by death and the foretelling of the world ending by his hands, Aiden soon finds that there are few people he can trust. My stories are fantasy-based and heavily influenced by classic Final Fantasy games ( by classic I mean 1-10 ) and other Japanese Role-Playing Games I used to enjoy, with one difference; the main characters are Black. July 2022 update! After months of deliberation, I've decided to continue with this cast of characters in the next books instead. The loose ends in this story have been keeping me up all night. I've gotten started on 2 sequels to this; Rebirth of Destiny II based on the good ending and the alternative ending. After I get a good backlog built up they'll be published once a week.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
