《Another Death》Chapter 2 - First contact

"It's been one and a half years since i got reincarnated here, its not that bad i am slowly getting accustomed to living here" Andrej said to himself while lightly stretching after a good night's sleep.
"Olga! Go get Andrej, he still hasn't woken up!" shouted Kiril, Andrej's father who was worried about him to the point of checking if he was still breathing every hour.
"Okay"
Olga opens the door of Andrej's room and sees him slacking off in his bed.
"It's time to get up slacker!" she said and started tickling him while he laughed and tossed around in his bed.
"Okay, okay, i give up!" he said through laughs "Okay just hurry up or breakfast will get cold" she said.
"Ooh i hope its the "special gulash"" he prayed while getting dressed.
He went to get breakfast when he heard some noise coming from the backyard, he looked through the window and saw his friend Katarina floating beside the window looking really happy "Andrej! Look what i learned!" she shouted excitingly before hitting the window and nearly breaking it.
""Learned""
"Oh shit i accidentally thought out loud"
"Hey! It happens to everybody" she said annoyingly.
"I didn't mean it like that!" he assured her "But will you teach me? Please"
"Of course!"
"Andrej! Come already!" yelled his father Kiril loud enough that the entire house started shaking.
"Uhh, i have to go now"
"Okay i will wait for you outside"
"Okay"
Andrej ran down to the table where his mother and father waited for him to eat, on the table was cheese, meat, fruits and vegetables which really excited him.
"I'm here"
"Finally!"
"We didn't want to eat without you, especcialy your father"
"He is a man he needs to be strong"

"Thank you, let's eat"
"So, how's it going with Katarina huh" his father whispered to him.
"r-r-really"
"It's going"
"That should be enough for him" he thought, and instantly went for the food, especcialy the meat and the cheese.
"I'm full!" said Andrej after he finished eating and he runned out of the house not even closing the door behind him.
"Take care! Remember to come home before the night" shouted his mother.
He arrived at his and Katarina's usual hanging spot, a lonely wooden bench where they would spend their time talking about a lot of things.
"You know, i will start going to magic school soon"
"Ooh, thats cool"
"Of course! I want to learn magic so i can become an Adventurer"
"Ooh i am learning some new things"
"What are those?" he asks her
"Adventurers are people who travel to far away lands, slay big monsters, earn a lot of money and stuff like that"
"Very, very interesting"
"I want to become an adventurer too!" he shouted to her
"But first you must learn the basics of magic"
"Will you show me?"
"Of course, floating is the best starting point, so let's start with that"
She said and started gathering mana around her feet, and slowly rising from the ground.
"Let me try" he calmed himself down and jumped but nothing happened instead he rolled down the hill until he hit a tree.
"Whaat why?"
"Ahahhahahahaha" laughed Katarina as she flew towards the tree where he landed.
"No no you have to gather mana around your feet in order to start floating"
"Mana? What is that?" he asked her.
"Basically mana is the life force of all living beings in the form of energy" she started her explanation "all creatures naturally leak mana and it stays in the air around us, but by feeling the mana in the air and controlling it us humans can use it in a lot of different ways, like floating by gathering it around our feet"

"And how do i do that exactly" Asked Andrej annoyingly.
"It's all about focus, by focusing you can feel the mana around you and you can also redirect it if you focus on your feet" she explained "Now you try, its not really that hard"
"Okay, here goes nothing" he said and tried to focus and feel the mana around him, but the delicious meat was the only thing on his mind, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get it out of his head.
"What are you thinking about idiot!" she shouted and hit him on the head.
"Looks like im thinking about food too much"
"Let's try again tomorrow"
"Okay, see you"
"See you too"
Andrej headed home trying to focus his mind on mana and floating.
"Hello son" said Kiril, but Andrej ignored him and just went to his room, all that was on his mind was floating.
"Dear, what's up with him?" Asked Olga, worried for her son.
"It's probably nothing much, leave him be, if he stays that way i will check up on him"
Andrej locked his room and sat on his bed, still thinking about mana and floating.
"Olga, it's been four hours, he still hasn't answered, let alone come down, that's it im going to check on him"
"Yes"
Kiril ran up the stairs shouting Andrej's name, but Andrej still didn't answer focusing on the mana around him he finally gathered it around his feet and he floated above the ground, ecstaic he flew out of the window into the backyard.
"Mother, Father, Katarina! I did it! I'm flying!"
"Kiril dear look! He perfected flying in one day!"
"I knew he was my son!"
"Woo Andrej! You are awesome"
He felt even more happy after being showered in all the praise that he forgot to keep focusing and fell face first into the dirt.
"..."
"Ahahahahaahahahhhahah" everyone started laughing at his little fall.
"Congratulations" Olga and Kiril told him.
"You are amazing, it looked so easy with you"
"Ehh ehh now now"
After that they all went to have dinner together.
"You know, i never imagined myself saying this ever again, but my life, its getting better and better!"

End's End
Crow Tempora is an optimistic country bumpkin who knows very little of life in the heart of the world's cities, however behind his easy smile is a stony determination to achieve his goal of accomplishing the impossible- one that he can only reach by winning the Sieve, the largest competition of young Mystics the world has ever seen. Famous across the entire world and loved almost as widely, Gemini Menza has never known a single day of anonymity in her short life. Like most magical prodigies she has spent her years on guard against powerful Immortals attempting to use her as a tool, unlike most she is uniquely gifted and burdened with the position of being the single most magically prodigious individual of her generation- perhaps throughout all of history. Entering the Sieve not to work for victory, but to collect it as a boring chore, she soon finds herself shocked by the difficulty of her tasks, both inside the contest and out. After all, she was also given the privilege of joining at a younger age than anyone else. Machiavellian manipulator Unity Eden is growing tired of the tasks forced onto him by those who control him, unfortunately he also happens to be controlled by the leaders of the largest empire the world has ever seen. While he has little hope of wriggling his way out of it, he intends to make his entry into the Sieve as damaging to them as he can. While most are fixated on the events of the Sieve's stages, intently watching the young and talented as they go head to head to find out who holds the title of strongest, Karma Alabaster has her eyes on the powers behind the curtains- the endless machinations of the Immortals and their servants. Caught between enough crisscrossing schemes to form a spiderweb, she must use every ounce of her not inconsiderable mind to keep herself from playing into another's hands... all while solving a mysterious and seemingly impossible murder. The winds of change are blowing in Bermuda, and only one person will shape them. Cover art by: Nova @no_no_nova on tiktok @no_no_no_nova on ig THREE NEW CHAPTERS POSTED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.

Covenant Sinners: The Origin of a Demon Queen
Demon-slayer knight Hector Aeronwen became an enemy of all humankind after saving a dying half-demon girl out of pity. Little did he know, his impulsive action had forever changed the course of the world and the fates of many. This is the story about Hector's desperate quest and the beginning of the demoness whose destiny is to shake the world to its very foundation. Author's note: At the risk of spoiling too much of this story, I want to reveal a bit about the core idea behind this work of fiction. I set out with the idea to write a story in the perspective of the second in command of a demon lord, which then would be followed up with large scale kingdom buildings and warring states. But then I asked myself: what past do they have between them for the Demon Lord to have so much faith in her second in command, and for him to be so loyal to such a horrible being? So this is my attempt at writing the origin of those two, who, while hated by all races in the world, still have each other as the only confidant to entrust their life to. If you are like me and want to see where this premise, with a vague destination in mind, will lead to, please have a read and give me your valued feedback!
