《Tales Of Narcinica》V1 Chapter 2 - The Monster in the Kingdom
Advertisement
Josiah was taking a walk through the bar. There he was, Noah. He looked tired as if he was not having a great day. Josiah knew when it had been a bad day. He easily could catch on to an unhappy tone. Josiah saw that he was drunk and quick to anger so he quietly strolled along casually and stopped to talk to Noah.
"How are you doing, Noah?" He said bracing himself for a long conversation.
"Gre-at huh?" He said stumbling over his words. He looked as if he was drunk and he was.
"You are a horrib- prson, ya kno-." There it was another one of those stupid comments that Noah would regret saying later.
"Looks like you are drunk." Josiah said in a rhetorical tone.
"I ain't'nt you is!" Noah said in a progressively mad voice. His gibberish did not make it better.
Josiah backed off so he did not anger Noah. He had done it before and it was not pretty. He started wondering if he should even have Noah as a king. He just hoped that if Noah became king he would not do idiotic things such as this. He obviously knew however when times get tough he would always go to the bar. It was obviously a bad habit and I recommend you never do like Noah did.
Just then a lady by the pen name "Shadow" walked over to check on the men.
"How ya' boys doing, care for another drink or some oysters? Ya' know we are known for our oysters!" She exclaimed. Shadow was the owner of a bar called the Oyster Bar that sold oysters ironically. She was considered very loyal and was a loved and powerful citizen. She carried on with her question.
"So would ya?" She asked

"No than-."
Just then a noise. Not just any noise. It was the noise of the Terminian Giants.
They were a ferocious group of people who indulged in The Gladiators. They made the Terminian Gladiators and loved the "process of elimination." They looked very human like with uneven muscular arms and almost paper thin legs. They were extremely loud and obnoxious they had a dark twisted sense of humor and usually demanded for anything. The only person they would listen to was their king. The king was also a twisted and terrible person but he was the core of all the terrible acts the Terminians did. He was very biased and extremely unfair even to Terminians. Even though the circumstances the Terminians still went by his law.
One giant by the name of Jackson came down and blew off some of the bar in one swoosh. The Terminians were often involving themselves in Solitude. They were jealous that Solitude had such a unique cultural influence on Narcinica. They hated that they never were involved in anything but their stupid war tactics that were not even theirs. They tried to imitate the Solitudians. Though they tried it often led to conflict with the culture they stole the idea from. The terror they would do just to learn a simple trick that could be learned through ink. They would never change though. Not until the end of time.
There they were and there Josiah was running as fast as an old man could and he eventually caught up with everyone else as usual. They all started mumbling gibberish while at the same time trying to catch their breath.
"Shadow, are you- uh, here? is everyone else he- re." Caleb mumbled.
"What are we to do?!" Caleb said without an answer.
" I don- quite kn- ow!" Josiah shouted out.
"I have an idea! The Powerhouse!" Shadow said frantically.
"Josiah, lets go to the Powerhouse..." Noah said.
"The Powerhouse?!" Caleb exclaimed. He could not believe those words. Wasn't that a last resort. If they went there that treasure of a building could be destroyed! But Noah repeated himself to make himself clear. He meant it. He said once again.
"Yes... The Powerhouse..."

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading! Cover art (fullsize): Forgotten World Coliseum, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli.

City of Captives
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the City press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with Essence to power the City in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! This is largely still a draft. I hope to use any comments and reviews in the future. Thanks for reading!
