《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosiac (Ch.41)

"What happened, Tarot?" a father almost of my age asked.
"Satan was here." I said.
"What?" they shared looks in confusion.
"I gave him place to eat." I gasped. I confessed, "He is eating them all. They are eating them all in heaven and he let me see it happen."
"What are you saying? Have you gone insane, old man?" a young priest raised his volume.
"He is eating them. I saw them drink blood. I know what they can be fed on."
"Who?"
"Satan!" I snarled, "He is here. He is here!"
"Take this mad man out of here before he says something more stupid than this." An old father commanded a young priest in ear.
"What else stupid thing can he say more than this? This man has lost his mind." A woman told him, "Luke, take him out of here. And take it easy."
The young priest seized my arm and took me - laughing stock old man out of there.
Luke took me out of the church gate.
And when he returned then he saw nuns and priest say, "That man couldn’t even walk properly. He always needed crutches. How can he walk now?"
"Talk to me, Rick! Why don’t you talk to me?" Stacy was shouting at him.
Tarot wanted to speak but he could not. No matter how much he tried to breath out words, he was just finding him lips in motion with no sound.
She slapped him and seized his head, "Talk to me! Talk to me!"
But no words came out of his mouth…
The phone rang in four in the morning. I was woken up by the noise. I was now quiet annoyed of those four cats in there. How did they come inside my room? Now I had left sleeping in lobby and was upstairs. I couldn’t think of sleeping in the same room where Satan had eaten the divine toddler. But the phone was still in there.

I stepped out of his bed and went towards the room. Then I pushed the door open and pulled the receiver.
I cleared my throat before speaking anything.
"Hello, father! Is it you?" the voice came. Joey had finally called me!
I was delighted but I coughed at first.
"Are you there, father?"
I cleared my throat again. Then I realized it was the only one thing coming out of my mouth as sound.
I attempted to speak but it was random gasps what came out.
"ARE YOU OKAY THERE?"
I could not speak.
"HELLO! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT THERE?"
I nodded but despite of knowing my nodding wasn’t going to be heard or seen.
I tried to speak for another minute but heard Joey panicking. Then something happened that I didn’t want to happen.
The call was hung up.
Did he think I am also dead?

[Discontinued] Armus : First Draft
THIS FICTION HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. I don't recommend reading this, since the chapters are a bit haphazard (containing new edits which don't really fit in with the latter half of the story).

A Storm in the Fall
The Earth has vanished, and nearly a half billion people have been dropped into an extradimensional space called 'The Tutorial' But even though this seems like a game, it's actually a ruthless calculating machine designed to cultivate the strong and cull the weak. But not everyone wants to give in to the cynical, inhuman designs of 'The System'. Some have chosen to Defy their destiny. One young man is determined to prove, in a world of Cultivators, he can stay Human. This story is based on the setting of 'Defiance of the Fall' by TheFirstDefier. Storm in the Fall is non canonical fan fiction, though you will find the tone and approach is very different. Check out DotF first, there's a reason it's close to the top of the RR charts!

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
