《Grasping》Chapter 6: SCP-158
Advertisement
Magnus exits the car and joins his moms who were waiting for him. Magnus looked at the relatively normal building. Normal to the regular eye of course. In his eyes, this building looked even more fortified than his new home.
" Mom, what do you work as again?"
May looked at me with a face of surprise, which quickly changed into a smile.
" I work as a scientist dear."
With that, they walked into the building and into a room named project 158. Inside, a man waited for us.
" This is Mister Keith James, he will be showing us how this robotic arm works."
" Hello, mister Keith," Said, Karrie. Magnus parroted her. Then, he stared at the arm. It was a large mechanical arm, similar to one that one might find in an automotive factory, although the end attachment is unusually shaped, resembling a pointed tridactyl claw. The entire thing had a faint glow to his eyes. Not wanting to leave things to chance, he used his limited omniscience on Keith. He found that the man did not have a manual on him but had an interesting badge in his pocket. One that had a symbol that Magnus recognised.
" The Foundation is real?" He mumbled.
Nearly immediately, his soul was attacked. Magnus snapped out of his daze and found that the arm had extracted a tiny bit of his soul's energy. He realised that he was looking at SCP-158. He closed his eyes and let himself collapse to pretend that his soul was extracted.
" I can't believe we did this to a kid." - May
" What? No! We removed a ghost that was possessing his corpse." - Karrie
Magnus decided to stop breathing and stop his heart.
" I'll check if he is dead now. I have combat training. I should be able to handle the kid if he is still alive and is hostile," - Keith

" No! Don't get close to him. Did you not see the report? He considers himself a god. Doctor Jack Smith even questioned SCP-343 about this. He said that SCP-343 gave a positive answer about his remark." - Karrie
Magnus could hear them walking towards the door after Karrie said that.
' SCP-343... he is the one nicknamed "God".'
With that, he opened his eyes and slowly flew into an upright position.
" H~e~y~ Don't go just yet."
Using his energy manipulation he prevented Keith from opening the door.
" Stay and talk to me first."

MARY: The Dreadful
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] "You have to survive, Adam. You have to win." This is not a story starring Mary, because Mary is already dead. She bled out on her front doorstep following a sudden three-day absence. Seven years have passed, with her little brother—Adam—now standing at eighteen years of age. Following his sister's death, he lived the life of a delinquent, wandering the grimy streets of the city of Steeldale. All it amounted to was years of street fighting experience, no proper home and an uncertain future at a second-rate university. Unbeknowst to him, the day before university, he will be thrust from Steeldale into a brand new world. It is a world where a cherry red sky gazes down upon a fragmented continent, on which civilisations from other worlds have been dumped like refuse. The souls of man leak from their fingertips, coalescencing into superhuman powers and horrible fleshy monstrosities. Tribes of refugees clash against each other, attempting to carve out a place in this unrefined space. With no choice, Adam must traverse this dangerous new world, with Mary's shadow following him every step of the way. This is my entry to the April 2021 Writathon. Chapters will be posted as I write them.

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.

I am but Divine
Being a god is a dream. A very big, ambitious dream that probably no one has ever achieved. In the world of Taerrea, there were a set amount of gods that ruled over the world; the god of war, the god of the skies, the god the earth, etc. and that the general rule of thumb was that the numbers of the gods could not be added nor removed. That changed after one fateful event. Nemer, a Slayer, had died from a battle, and from a deal he made with a doubtedly wise god of wisdom and knowledge, Wize, he became the first ever lesser god.
