《Queen of Monsters》Protea's Diary - II

Mountdawn, 34th of Aluvia, Year 422
It finally happened; I met Prince Galian today!
Before now, I had only ever seen him in paintings and the magical images sent to me from the palace, but now I finally knew who he was.
He didn’t look like I expected him to, but that’s not a bad thing. At least I don’t think so. Obviously, since he’s the Crown Prince, the paintings given to me all exaggerated his good features and downplayed the bad ones. Compared to him, the paintings were all hard to look at now.
We took a walk in the Royal Gardens together. I’d never been there before, so Zephyrine and I had to walk behind him and his guards so we wouldn’t get lost. It was so awkward at first. We just stare at the flowers, the sky, and the ground, and if we k=locked eyes by accident we would turn away from each other quickly. I was so sure that the meeting was going to end in disaster - I’ve heard so many horror stories from my cousins about things like this.
Then finally one of us decided to break the silence. Galian (that’s what he told me to call him from now on) asked me about my schooling. Not a very good start, but it was better than nothing. Then I mentioned this new play my tutor gave me - Widows and Agents - and his eyes lit up like Lantern Flowers!
I had no idea that Galian had such a love for theater! We practically spent hours talking after that; I learned that his favorite playwright is Venture Palmio. A decent man I guess. The Lament of Mala the Younger was a fine play, but I suppose comedies just aren’t for me. But I digress. Anyway, we had a great time today. I almost didn’t want to leave.

But Father seemed troubled for some reason, and so did Mother. When we ate dinner, they kept whispering to each other and looking at me from across the table. I tried to ask them why they were upset, but neither of them gave me a clear answer. Father claimed it was just about business and Mother said they were planning another trip to the Palace.
Johannes hardly noticed that were arguing - thank the Nine. He was too busy bragging about the new sword-fighting tutor he got. I’m sure he’ll be gone by the week though.
I’m not gonna let any of this get in my way though. Galian and I are friends now, and I have a duty to my family. I don’t quite know what everyone means by that last part yet, but I won’t let them down regardless!
Sincerely,
Lady Protea Fynderne of Frostenden

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!

It's Hard to be a Hero in a Parallel World
A hero is transported from the real world into a parallel world similar to the video game he's been obsessed with for the past few weeks. The problem is, this game is way too difficult, especially for a nerdy gamer boy to survive. He decides to leave the hero-duty to someone who is actually competent while he looks for a way home. He hopes his knowledge of the game will help him stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, as one would imagine, the normal events of a game would change drastically when the main character is nowhere to be found. Read as the unlikely hero gets into trouble with his new companions, while trying to survive life in this parallel world. This is an original story that takes inspiration from and pokes fun at many novels, video games, anime, and the stereotypes and tropes that appear in those media.
