《The Great Nok Ma》Chapter 4: Essence
Advertisement
'Their essence,what's that?' I asked rashka .
Is it something like a crystall ball that they have on their bodies.
' hmmm, Some say that essence is a part of the spirit. Every living soul have one. That's why a beast can only make a contract once in their life.'while looking straight at me.
'Well to be honest, I don't know if this would work with you because your different. But since you can see us and even understand us now. Maybe you can give a try.'
'Essence can be found all around us. It determine who we are, but if you can't sense it. Then we'll just think of another way for you to pass the second stage.' she said while taking two thick books from her pouch.
'These are the life work of Alderdyfis' two great elders.'
'This one here is the work of elder miirphys, one of the ten great alchemists on this continent who excels in the field of plants and vegetations.' while holding a book covered by leaves.
'And this one is the work of elder elluin , she is known for her assasination skills, that even the goblin king fear. This is first of the three manuals that she wrote.' while showing me another book with black leather cover stained with blood.
'For now you should carefully study these two manuals to strengthen your knowledge and foundations.' Putting them neatly at the table.
'So I guess my job here is done. I need to go and do a mission that will take me atleast a month to complete. For the time being you can just ask Uncle Kril. He's the one that's been taking care of you in the last few days.'
'The grumply old man?' I asked.

' yep , he's the one' she said with a playful smile.
'I need to go now. Just don't leave this room until the elders give you a permission to. Understood? '
I nodded at her before she took her leave.
'Hey , rashka thank you and be safe!!' I told her. She smiled at me one last time before getting out of the room.
I put the bowl down after finishing the porridge on it. Then check my body still covered with leaves.
I took off the dry ones just to be surprised to see whats underneath. The wounds under the dry leaves have already healed and the only thing that you will is the pink scar on where the wound was before.
I tried taking the leaves that still haven't dried but no matter what i did it just won't bulge.
After checking my condition one last time. I became happy about my recovery. If this was before, when everyone was still normal.Then it will take atleast two weeks while confined in a hospital to achieve these results.
While wondering if I'm the only one with this superhuman capabilities or if all the humans who got shrinked do. Dizziness suddenly hit me.
Maybe its the side effects of my superhuman recovery but it is most likely from the aroma in the air and the medicinal porridge. I guess I have to postpone on studying those books.
Thinking that it's benificial to me.
I decided not to fight it and fell asleep immediately.

The Book of Rune
If you like moderately well-researched semi-medieval military logistics with some fantasy twists, and also conspiracy, and exploration, and violence, and maybe a dash of road movie, hey, Ruen just might be your thing. Plot-wise, basically there's a guy who got fired by Death, a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and a slave general who wouldn't mind retiring but ended up on a mass suicide mission. If you were looking for a less TL;DR version, a guy who got fired by Death meets a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and they try to get the guy un-fired while also trying to come to terms with death together (ooohhhh, look, I'm deep). Meanwhile a slave general does something stupid and ends up being sent on a suicide mission, and he tries to wreak havoc and save lives at the same time. The threads come together, I swear. This is a rough draft of a fantasy semi-book that I've had in the back of my head for some time. I've written a variety of short stories set in the world over the past three years, and I finally kicked myself into writing the actual story. Very much a slow work in progress. Occasional violence (okay, well, maybe more than occasional), occasional foul language.

Interstellar Warlock
Glyphnax had finally reached his ultimate goal, they had emancipated themselves from their infernal patron after centuries of servitude. The world was theirs for the taking and power akin to a god was within their grasp. And then a bunch of uppity adventurers ruined everything. One botched teleport spell later and suddenly Glyphnax, High Warlock of the 7th circle and master diabolist was floating in an endless cold void. It took them all their might to ensure that they did not die in that cold and airless space before they were knocked unconscious from the strain. Waking up from that was no blessing either as They suddenly where in a world of science and space travel. Magic has long since been disproven as a force in that universe and Glyphnax near god-level powers have been reduced to a mere shade of what they were before. Strange blue boxes with arbitrary numbers and statistics fill up his vision and his stranded on a strange ship manned by Humans and other weirder creatures. They now have to deal with the dangers of space, megalomaniacal courier corporations, ancient cyborg hordes and an overly concerned AI with abandonment issues.
