《Searching for Safe Heaven》Night in a forest
Advertisement
In the Yorkshire continent, a large portion of one of its corners is covered with forest. The trees are so dense and tall that from the top one will not be able to see the color of the land. Normally the forest always remains silent if one can ignore the roars and screams of different animals that reside in the forest. The forest with all its beauty also hides the law of hunter and prey under it.
But today, the silence of the forest is constantly disturbed by pillars of light. The phenomenon has started suddenly in one morning and remained to continue the whole day. Well since this phenomenon is concentrated in the outskirt of the forest, it has not created any considerable wave in the forest.
From many such pillars of light came a girl. She seems 10-11 years old. Her body is thin and petite, her skin is pale. She is wearing a one-piece cloth. Even though the cloth is beautiful and of high quality but due to constant washing, the colors of one beautiful dress have fainted. Though she looks pitiful, from her dark blue eyes and sharp facial features, one can see her determination to live.
On her face, one can see confusion and amazement as she tried to pass through those gigantic trees. Scratches have been formed on her pale body. The humid and cold climate is sending chills in her body. She looks up and sighs.
"Not a single ray of sunshine..."
Her voice is weak, and her body is cold. Even though the trees have blocked sunshine but one can perceive it is morning. She can't even imagine, what will happen to her when the night will come or whether she will die even before the arrival of night.
As she roamed, she began to search a place for shelter as well as sharp stones which she can use for defend. After considerable effort she had found a cave, well one can't say it a cave as it only has an overgrown rock from a small hill acting as a canopy along with a depression on the wall in which an adult person can fit in.

Though while roaming she had found some caves and hollow trees, the risk of it being an animal shelter and the presence of various insects made her abandoning it.
Sun began to set. She had collected some dried grasses and stuffed it in the cave and then cover herself completely, to avoid the cold of the night, and to hide her presence. As the sky becomes dark and there is a sudden drop in temperature.
Due to the absence of the sun, temperature drops. Rain began to fall. Lightning illuminates the dark forest providing a chance to the prey to avoid their hunt. The roaring of the animals is deafening her ears. To distract herself from noises, she began to sharpen the stones in her hand. There is a sudden clap of thunder and she watches a nearby tree has caught in fire, illuminating the surrounding.
In the light, she sees a black shadow about 2m long and of 1m height fighting with another animal covered in scales, protruding horns and of the same size. The black shadow attacks the armored animal while armored one defends itself using its horns. The fight goes for sometimes and blood began to flow with the rainwater. At last, the fight ended when the black shadow had taken down the armored one after crushing its windpipe with his jaw. The black shadow began to tear apart the armored animal corpse in rage. After eating a big chunk of flesh, it begins to drag the animal towards its hideout. She can only watch the whole scene in awe. After some time, she fell into her dreams.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

The Tales of the Revolution
Synopsis: As a scholar of science and technology, Joseph Algorith was a man who pursued his dream in unrealistic methods, using his intelligence to surpass all hurdles in this Galactic Era. He was an idealist that combined his thoughts with realism. However, unbeknownst to him in how it had happened, he had gained the opportunity to research a new system, a massive planetoid shrouded in mysteries and magic. However, to fully realize his ambition and creativity, he must save the human race of this magical world, filled with different races and monsters. “The Heavens had forced me, so I shall propose and never will be disposed of.”- Joseph Algorith Spoiler: Basically, he is reborn, with his knowledge as a scientist of the galactic era, into a new world with magic and aura powers. In this world, humans are part of the 7 major races, but two (or three) are planning to enslave them, while the others are watching on the sidelines. His plans are to develop modern weapons to strengthen the human nation because the mages and aura users aren't immortal or have steel flesh even as they get more power to the point they can deal damage of a howitzer using special moves. Though it doesn't mean that there aren't magical armours (and other things)... Extra: I'm not sure if romance will be in this. Depends on whether you, the readers, would like it or how I develop the story further. And there won't be an exact release schedule as I prefer my pace of writing and because I'm busy in life (school and extra activities, FML). If you find any mistakes, please remind me. Also, my writing style and the pace of the story may be slower than other stories you might have read on this website. Though I may make some revisions with the story, considering my editor's thoughts. Also, my story has some concepts from RTW in terms of the idea of creating weapons in a magical world, however, the plot is mine. After reading, tell me, what do you think of the beginning? What do you think your rating would be.?If possible, comment down below anything that could help me improve or to express your thoughts. Lastly, please NO COPY AND PASTE!
