《Noah's Ark》Chapter 18: Battle Royale 5
Advertisement
The candidates for the Pig, Monkey and Dog entered the arena.
The candidate for the Pig clan was a muscle looking brute. He had a bald head and wore chains around his neck.
The candidate for the Monkey clan was a lanky guy who wore white clothing.
The candidate for the Dog clan was a clean shaven guy who wore a kimono into battle.
“Is this tournament serious? I’m in a group with a mut and a monkey? This’ll be a piece of cake.”
“Of course all you think about is cake Borcho, you fat ass.” said the candidate from the Monkey clan.
“What’d you say?” Borcho yelled.
“Go easy on the insults Chipangu.” said the candidate from the Dog clan.
“What? Are you taking his side Pibu?” Chipangu said.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
Mourno stepped in.
“Is everyone ready?”
All the candidates nodded.
“Okay. START!”
All three of them instantly powered up.
“Spirit Equip! Boar!”
“Spirit Equip! Chimpanzee!”
“Spirit Equip! Pit Bull!”
Borcho’s spirit equip gave him tusk gauntlets as weapons. Borcho let out a monstrous battle cry and charged straight down towards them both. Chipangu engaged in combat with him. Chipangu was able to halt Borcho’s advance. They both got into a heavy brawl exchanging punches with each other. Pibu jumped into the fray and all three of them started fighting exchanging blows with each other.
It wasn’t a pretty fight at all. There were no counterplay, no fancy skills, no amazing technique, just an all out brawl. This was the type of fight the crowd really enjoyed. A blood bath. All three contestants were heavily injured. It was easy to see that with their bodies so injured that the next round for them would be impossible to compete in, however, whatever it was their pride wouldn’t allow them to step down in this brawl. They had to prove the were the strongest. Borcho had the advantage, but Pibu and Chipangu hung in there.

Twenty minutes have passed since the start of the fight. Borcho was visible getting weakened. His punches started to lose their edge. Chipangu had a face that was practically unrecognizable at this point. Pibu had injured his arm, so he could only brawl with one arm.
Borcho finally lost his footing. Pibu and Chipangu capitalized on this fact and simultaneously attacked Borcho. Borcho only had enough strength in him to counter attack Chipangu’s attack. Borcho and Chipangu connected their blows with each other. As Chipangu fell to the ground, Pibu was able to land his shot on Borcho without any repercussions. Borcho passed out standing up. Pibu was the only one left standing.
“THE WINNER OF ROUND 3 IS PIBU OF THE DOG CLAN!” Mourno raised Pibu’s hand.
The crowd cheered wildly for the manly competition.
The end of the royales was near. The only group left was Group Four.
“Are you ready Raion?” Doriama asked.
“Yes.” Raion replied.
“Alright. Good luck kid.”
After clearing the arena, Mourno stepped in.
“Will the candidates from Group Four please come down!”
Raion headed down first.
The crowd was anxious to see Raion fight since he was a late addition and no one knew anything about him. They were also curious about him since he was accompanied by Doriama who was also a slight enigma to the masses.
Meeting Raion in the arena was the candidate of the Goat Clan, Ramses. Finally the candidate for the Ox Clan showed up.
“Well, well.”
A familiar figured appeared before Raion.
“If it isn’t the little Mr. Goody Two Shoes.”
“Baison, it’s nice to see you again.”

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
