《[French] Les Pions de l'Equilibres》Épilogue
Advertisement
Pendant des années, il avait renié sa vraie nature. L'Équilibre était clair à ce sujet. Un homme se devait d'aimer sa femme, et une femme se devait d'aimer son mari. Tout autre type de relation était contre nature, et aimer une personne du même sexe était aussi pervers qu'aimer un animal. Mais à cent vingt ans, on avait un autre regard sur la vie que celui imposé par des textes religieux, et plus important encore, on apprenait à s'accepter.
Il caressa le bras de l'homme à ses côtés en s'apprêtant à le réveiller en douceur, mais n'en eut, au final, pas besoin : une alarme assourdissante se fit entendre, ayant pour effet immédiat de réveiller Kesef en sursaut.
̶ Que se passe-t-il ? demanda celui-ci avec une pointe d'inquiétude dans la voix.
̶ Je ne sais pas. Quand l'alarme du village retentit, ce n'est jamais bon signe. Je dois rejoindre mon poste, et je te conseille d'en faire autant, dit Nééman d'un ton sérieux.
̶ Fais attention à toi, lui dit Kesef en se mordant la lèvre.
̶ Depuis quand ma sécurité t'est-elle importante ? demanda le chasseur, avant de disparaître avec un sourire aux lèvres.
L'une des choses auxquelles Nééman prenait particulièrement plaisir, depuis qu'il était devenu Miktsoane, c'était de pouvoir voler. Et c'est exactement ce qu'il fit. En une fraction de seconde, il surplombait le village de plusieurs dizaines de mètres.
Cependant, la scène se déroulant sous ses yeux fit immédiatement disparaître le sourire ayant persisté sur ses lèvres après qu'il eut quitté Kesef, laissant place à un frisson lui parcourant tout le corps. D'innombrables torches entouraient la totalité du village, illuminant celui-ci aussi bien que l'aurait fait un soleil au zénith.
Le simple fait que les torches soient assez nombreuses pour totalement encercler le village, bien qu'il soit devenu six fois plus grand, démontrait qu'elles pouvaient se compter par millions.

Bien sûr, ce qui l'inquiétait vraiment n'était pas les torches, mais les mains les tenant. De toute évidence, les bandits étaient revenus, et devant des ennemis si nombreux, il était clair que le village n'avait aucune chance.
À quoi rime un tel acharnement contre un village aussi mineur que le nôtre ?! ne put s'empêcher de se demander Nééman, en ressentant une chose qu'il croyait pourtant qu'elle l'avait quitté... de la peur. De la peur pour ses proches, et pour le village qu'il avait juré de protéger.
Yashar et les onze autres Miktsoanes ne tardèrent pas à faire également leur apparition, affichant tous la même expression de désespoir que Nééman.
̶ Peut-être que c'est du bluff, et qu'ils ne possèdent pas autant de Miktsoanes que nous, espéra à haute voix le Miktsoane de Mordim.
Mais comme s'ils l'avaient entendu, une vingtaine de sonars spirituels, équivalant chacun à la signature d'un Miktsoane, parvinrent à eux.
̶ Ordonnez l'évacuation du village ! dit Yashar, avant de sortir une carte noire s'illuminant d'un feu vert un court instant, avant d'être réduite en cendres.

La balance d'argent trembla légèrement, mais le Frère et la Sœur n'y prêtèrent pas attention. Sur les cases de l'échiquier résidant au-dessus, une nouvelle case enneigée était illuminée de mille feux.
Bien sûr, celle-ci n'était qu'une case parmi des milliers de cases traversées de scènes similaires. Cependant, alors que la Sœur était concentrée sur la civilisation Geth, localisée dans des cases bien plus éloignées représentant une autre planète, le Frère portait sur celle-ci un regard particulièrement scrutateur.
C'est dans le danger qu'un Cultivateur peut débloquer tout son potentiel. Va-t-il parvenir à atteindre le quatrième Pas ? se demanda le Frère, avec une pointe d'attente dans les yeux.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

The Egg Guardian
First and foremost, I must apologize as this story is currently on an indefinite hiatus. School, my main project, and writer's block have gotten in the way. I was rather unprepared when I began posting this and kind of just did it on a whim. Thus, I shall ensure I am thoroughly prepared before posting anything else, but I plan to return to this someday to conitnue it. What better retirement plan for a scumbag than to become a demon? Whether he likes it or not, that's Berrick's only choice. Heaven thinks hell is getting a little lukewarm and Berrick is just the guy to heat things up again. Follow Berrick as he works for home and hell as one of the few Egg Guardians. Author's note: Are you looking for bad writing, terrible dialogue, short chapters, and slow releases? Then you've come to the right place! This is honestly just something I'm writing for fun and figured I'd publish while I'm working on my main project, but I always appreciate constructive criticism so I can improve.

Miracle Angeliva
Spirits, or what people usually referred to as ghosts, are something that has always been with us since ancient times. Some people are gifted to see them. However, most of us can’t see them without training. And without seeing them, we won’t believe. People only believe what they see, after all. However, I assure you, spirits are real. Spirits are always there. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they are not real. Just like people of ancient ages who can’t see bacteria or those who can’t see stars further than eyes can see, there are limits to our technology. Similarly, even though the current technology can’t prove the existence of supernatural beings, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. In the future, if we can develop technology so everyone can see them just like how a microscope helps us seeing micro beings, I believe everyone will believe it too. That being said, I still can’t prove their existence yet. -Raleigh Von Vlad Update daily (if possible, if not, guaranteed chapters are on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday) Thanks to gej302 for the fantastic cover!
