《The Celestial Swordsman》Chapter 1.11: The Undead, That Are Stronger Than the Living
Advertisement
The undead warriors rushed at Hoshi. There were six of them - an elf, two goblins, and two humans with one demon-like creature. Of course, now they were all former husks of themselves - undead zombies controlled by the dragon.
The undead all had similar swords and axes. They themselves may not have wanted to, but at that moment their only goal was to kill Hoshi.
If the other times Hoshi had held back a lot, then gave half of his energy, now due to his pure rage, Hoshi would go all out - even if that was not his intention.
Hoshi could not control himself. It was as if something had taken over him and driven him insane and filled him with bloodlust.
Hoshi began swinging his sword at the undead soldiers. He swung his sword down on to the two goblins, who were standing next to each other, full force slicing them both in a simultaneous motion.
Without wasting a second Hoshi leaped forward at the next closest enemy - the human. He managed to block the hit with his sword, but due to Hoshi's pure force swing, the sword shattered and collided with the man's skull. The man cried out as he fell to the ground, bleeding.
Hoshi had now taken out half of his enemies. Or so he thought.
But then suddenly the three fallen foes began twitching and glowing a bright violet magic light.
After only a few seconds the three were already on their feet.
Hoshi began fighting the six foes once more, but every time he did kill them they just came back.
Hoshi continued slaughtering them. Hoshi felt as if he had already killed hordes of enemies even though he was still only fighting the six soldiers.
The six soldiers barely got a few hits on Hoshi, yet he was beginning to become more and more exhausted.

Hoshi kept fighting. So did the soldiers. But at this rate, he and the tribe's members would fight until Hoshi fell unconscious due to exhaustion.
But Hoshi was in a pure rage mode. He didn't think about that.
Hoshi had just killed all of the enemies in one powerful sweep. Then for a brief moment as he watched the warriors come back to life he came back to his senses.
What he saw in that brief moment was the dragon's eyes and ice spikes shining with the same glow as the warriors coming back to life.
As he faded back to pure rage he remembered something. In video games and manga, the only way to kill a necromancer's undead army was to kill the necromancer himself.
Just like that Hoshi had come up with a plan in the brief time he had snapped back to his senses. But after doing that Hoshi's consciousness faded back to dark as his rage took over once more.
Hoshi was too exhausted to move at that moment. The tribe's members were slicing away at Hoshi, who had fully blacked out.
Then suddenly Hoshi felt a surge of power. It was his ability - Second Wind. It filled him with energy and his wounds began rapidly sealing.
Hoshi began glowing like a star. In the end, he had been blessed by one.
Hoshi's eyes began glowing as he felt himself getting lighter. Hoshi was surrounded by a gust of wind that formed into somewhat of a small tornado.
Hoshi gripped his sword tighter and raised it. As he did the gust of wind expanded outward, knocking all of the undead soldiers back, forcing them to hit the wall.
Hoshi squatted down as if charging up. Then with full force, he leaped forward at the dragon - his true foe.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
