《Life of David》CHAPTER 7: The Fifth Year
Advertisement
In a castle, on a hill, there was a king. The castle was surrounded by the ruins of what use to be the seat of a great empire. The king sat on a golden throne in the main tower surrounded by his Companions, and at his feet where the the leaders of the empire bowing to him. The king then spoke, and simultaneously all the heads of the leaders fell from there bodies and 10 figures filed into the room and removed the heads covering the bodies with a black substance recreated from there mouths, and the bodies where no more. The king then thought back on the past 5 years of gathering notoriety and making the army that now served as his main fighting and police force.

“David!” showed one of the prisoners he was in the midst of defending from the bandits that captured them, tying to warn him of the incoming blade that aimed to separate his head from his shoulders. With speed defied what should be possible of a human, David spun and shattered the incoming blade with his own, going on to slice the attacker in half. Making short work of the others in a similar manner of extreme power he freed the prisoners escorting them back to the city. Seeing his work was done David made his way to the guild in order to turn in the quest. opening the front doors, he heard groans and laughter from the other adventurers who started betting how long it would take to complete all the quests on the board where they took jobs. It took only 3 days to turn in all 500 quests some of witch took months to get to with the fastest of steeds. David knew he could do it in a day tops but he wanted to make there game interesting, making his way to the desk he placed the last paper on a stack a foot tall and telling the elf stating there to put the funds in his account. There was much bickering over money the next hour by the other adventurers, much to the amusement of David who sat taking a break on one of the many seats in the common area. The game was played once a month by David who found it depressing that this would be over in a year once he took the empire as his own. He would want to take time off in the future and new he would be spending his time questing as an adventurer. David still remembered when the game was invented.

As David thought about what his first quest would be a party of adventurers where encouraging the newest of there party to go and talk him. "Common man! go talk to him." to witch the young man then said "Fine fine, sense you won't ever shut up about it if I don't." the young man then made his way towards David and asked "Sir would you like help finding a suitable quest?"
"Yes, in fact. I would. Need help finding a quest of suitable difficulty, these all seem to easy."
"Really? well that is to be expected from the only X rank. Well if your so skilled why don't you just take all of them at the same time?"
"Good Idea!"
"What really?" the boy only meant it as a joke but regained his composer as his fends made there way over as they had been listing in on there conversation "Well sir we couldn't help but overhear you, and we would like it if you let us time you?"
"Do as you will"
"Thank you sir! EVERYONE! The X rank is going to take all the quests who wants to bet on how long it will take him?" and thus the game began.

The King then thought on the Army he made over the corse of a week.
____________________
"I have decided that I will make an army that will act as the police and fighting force. My empire will span universes and dementions so we will need to keep everything in check." Explained David to his companions. "Thus I release you to do as you wish for a time, whale I make the army." They all agreed that he would need privacy. And thus died the deeds that gave them there titles, but that is for another time. David then willed himself to his realm that was stored in his ring. The realm would have another section that was to be used as a machine with the purpice of mass producing weapons, armor, and food, everything an army of countless soldiers would need, this took half of the section the other would be a facility that would create his soldiers. But first he had to create the first of the creatures that made his future army. They where based off of the Minotaur, a bulls head and hooves with a mans torso and arms, but these creatures where different as they were equipped with impenetrable armor, Plasma blades, Plasma cannons hidden in a robotic left arm, grenades that destroyed matter within a 5 meeter radius, scanners of all sorts, missiles, and black saliva that is so acidic it could eat through almost anything helping them eat there enemies. He made different units that where different sizes one the side of a tank that welds a massive plasma cannon that turned into arms and missile launchers. Thousands, Millions, Billions of these creatures where made so many intact that David had to make another section that held nothing but one massive building that when hundreds of floors high and Billions of floors underground where all the beasts where to be stored. Hear they would never tier and never hunger, until they where relived unto the battle field.

Then there was the battle he had just won, an uninteresting one to say the least.

"I'm sending each of you with a force of 10,000 to take the main cities and then report back to be hear." The companions agreed and set off whale David sent his force of 10,000 beasts to take the main city. all he needed to do was show that he was the one calling the shots and made his way to the throne room where he sat and waited for his companions and the beasts to move all the citizens to a camp he set up. As David waited he smiled thinking of the many future takeovers he would make come to fruition, all starting with this one.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

Ephemeral Cycle
Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people. In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change. --------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised. I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!
