《Re:Demon Lord》Chapter 1 - The Black Sheep
Advertisement
I woke up suddenly feeling dizzy but strangely I felt some kind of power within me that I didn't have.
Dim candles were lit as I looked around and there were figures standing besides me.
They were too big or I was too small, I didn't know what was going on.
Once my dizziness started to disperse, I saw a beautiful alluring woman who could bewitch any men but I could not be counted among them as I was used to these kind of obscene things.
"Oh my Gabriala, what do we have here? A failed miserable demon of a son. Puhahaha! " the woman started to laugh.
I was too little to see other person properly so I couldn't find the person she was speaking to.
"..... I.... How can this be...?" A feminine voice could be heard right beside me.
When I looked to check out the person, she was a young girl who could not be called adult by any means but strangely it felt like she was more aged than it seemed. I looked directly into her eyes which were also looking into me and I could see a reflection of a small black haired baby boy with red reptilian eye. There was no mistake that the small baby was me.
I tried speaking up to ask what is going on but I was encased in some kind of shield or barrier. It seemed like some kind of magic. Definitely strange I thought but it was even more strange to be alive after I had died or so I presumed. Maybe I should just gather some information regarding this new place, like my master said knowledge is everything though because of that he got killed 'Curiosity killed the cat' that what I call it.
"Ultimately, you were the third one so of course you would shame him. You ruined his bloodline by giving birth to such a lowly demon." the alluring woman speaks up.

(Hmm... So that means this petite girl gave birth to me. This must be a screwed up world if this small girl should have to give birth to a child then.)
"Next time... It will be different Aphrodus." Gabriala my biological mother tells her who looks at me with some kind of disgust in her face. This makes me think something about me is wrong but I don't know what it is so I will just have to figure it out.
"Haaaa... Who do you think you are huh? You think you can just always spend your time with him? You can't always have him, we are also there got it?" Aphrodus angrily tells her off and I can see some kind of tail and a small pair of wings on her. This is definitely weird.
"I am not saying that I will always have him, I am just saying next time my turn comes I will have my chance." Gabriala sulkily speaks up.
"Hmpp.. If that the case try however many times you want you will just fail. Hahahahaa.." Aphrodus insults her. Gabriala looks to her with a face I can't describe in words because her eyes are shining red and some lightning sparks can be seen or maybe it's just my imagination.
"Oh my, looks like someone's in a bad mood." Aphrodus insults her even more. Gabriala's lightning now looks like a dragon trying to hunt it's prey.
"Stop it! Don't make it bad it is as already." A new feminine voice is heard. It seems she's trying to calm things down.
"Looky who's here if it isn't Kybera" Aphrodus playfully speaks up as the new figure emerges.
As the new figure appears before my eyes I can see a woman who is very voluptuous and the very strange thing is she has a animal ear, no a fox ear to be exact and nine tails behind her swaying majestically. This is all very hard to take for me. Because of trying to concentrate too much I feel drowsy. Damn, I wanted more information.

"Oh look! It seems the black sheep among his sibling is sleepy. Poor poor Akira." Aprhrodus sarcastically speaks as that was the last word I heard before I lost my consciousness.
[Hi guys! I am new to FF and I would like some pointers if u have some. Please feel free to point out my mistakes.]

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)

The White Horde (Revised)
The rewritten version of the same ongoing story, recast into Past Tense and lightly edited.

More than just a female gladiator but a champion of the arena, she will win her freedom at a price: to become a Reaver Knight not seen since the days of ancient Babylonia, with a mission to save the empire that enslaved her from destruction at the hands of a rival empire, the Sasnayams. Wysper. A Celtic priestess stolen away from her homeland by Muzen, high priest of the Sasnayam deity Yun-Kax, she possesses a mana node like a second heart inside her body which Muzen rips out each time he 'sacrifices' her to their god to appease the masses. Despite her strong will, everyone has a limit, and Muzen's actions have driven Wysper close to the edge of suicide. Greywolf. Son of the infamous Shadow-walker, Ghostdog, and the Celestial Asena, who was once revered as the Wolf-mother goddess, but now guards caravans for drinking money.

And all the while, the White Horde sits on the edge of empires, biding its time...

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
