Sun City
(GGGYYYAAHHHH)
Located in the Northern part of the city, in an empty alley. Blood overflows in a corner as a young maiden gets devoured by a mysterious figure. The figure is not a Sombra, because it has human form.
“Man, this is delicious, I can’t believe how tasty the girls in this city are…” The monster with the appearance of a young man says as he licks his hand covered in blood.
He stands up and begins to walk towards the light, his yellow eyes shine with the full moon. Suddenly, El Muerto comes out of the portal:
“Are you done, Ian?”
The moon shines and reveals the monster to be Ian Constantin, his yellow eyes turn reddish once more.
“Yeah...I’m done here...Muerto…” Ian says as he looks at the moon, El Muerto looks at the puddle of blood and says:
“Don’t you think you overdid it?”
“Not at all, I mean I only ate part of her flesh, I left her limbs intact...don’t worry about it…”
“You disgust me…”
“Yeah, I don’t care…anyway, why are you here?”
“I came here to tell you that tomorrow, I want you to bully a certain person…”
Ian smiles and says; “Oh...the plan is about to begin huh...I can’t wait to fight him…”
“You will...just be patient…”
Ian laughs as he increases his manna causing a small crater below his feet; “I can’t wait to face you...Charro Negro…”

The next morning, things went smoothly, Uriel and Valerie arrived at school. Obviously everyone was looking at them. Valerie went to her classes and Uriel went to his, at that moment things got awkward:
Uriel reads a book during the first period, at that moment Victoria walk towards him:
“Hey Uriel...how are you?”
“I’m fine…” Uriel answers as he continues reading, -TCH- Victoria gets angry and puts the book down:
“Hey, I want to talk to you...why are you ignoring me?”
“I am not ignoring you...I just happened to study for my next test that is all...I didn’t mean to be rude…”

Victoria puffs her cheeks; “Well you are”
“In that case...sorry…”
Alejandro looks at them thinking; “Here we go again...give up already Victoria...Uriel is not interested in you...speaking of that...will Valerie be interested in me?” A
lejandro looks at the window as he begins to think about Valerie.
Angela and Marjorie look at Victoria.
“Come on...ask him already?” Both of them think at the same time.
Victoria gets nervous as she makes a question; “Hey...Uriel...can I ask you something?”
“....” Uriel does not answer, Victoria continues to ask:
“That girl that was with you yesterday...is she someone important to you?”
“Pfff…” Alejandro wants to laugh thinking; “Uriel is very dense...this will be fun…”
Since Kasumi is not in the class right now, Marjorie, Angela and the other girls get closer to hear Uriel’s answer. Meanwhile, standing outside the door, Kasumi is eavesdropping on the conversation as she thinks:
“I wonder what he will answer…”
Uriel looks at her and with a serious expression he answers; “Yes, she is…”
“Ehhh?” The girl says at the same time. Angela steps forward and with a worried expression asks; “Is she that important to you?”
“Indeed she is...I would give my life for her” Uriel answers, recalling his conversation with Daniel.
“Pfff” Alejandro is chuckling; “This is very funny…oh no...Marjorie is going to ask him something…”
Marjorie touches his shoulder; “Uriel...do you love her?”
Everyone leans forwards, Kasumi who is at the door also wants to hear the answer.
“I guess...I do love her...and that is because she is my…”
(BBBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Kasumi opens the door very angry, interrupting the class. She a “red aura” of anger as she walks to her desk:
“Very well students...class will end in minutes so I decided that I will give a pop quiz…”
“WWWHHHAAATTTT?”
Marjorie looks down; “Uriel, you do love her...huh…”
(BADUMP)
Kasumi looks at Uriel and says; “Mr Di Fiore, I want to talk to you after school…”
Uriel nods in agreement not understanding the situation, Alejandro looks at the window as he sighs; “Uriel, you are so stuppid when it comes to love.”

Meanwhile….
On the rooftop, Aleister stands with Ian as he says; “ El Muerto told you who to attack...feel free to do it at lunch time..”
“What about the teachers, will they interfere?”
“No...they will be busy during lunch...mother is on it as well…”
******************************************************************************
Lunch time arrived, Uriel as always disappears during lunch. Nobody knows where he goes.
Meanwhile, Alejandro heads towards the cafeteria because someone is waiting for him:
“I need to hurry...she is waiting for me…” Alejandro runs with enthusiasm through the hallway. The reason is because he received a message on his cellphone that said:
Alejandro, I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the cafeteria...Valerie…
“Valerie wants to eat with me...I can’t believe it…”
“Hey, Alejandro…” Tiwa stands in front of him. Alejandro stops, Tiwa gets nervous and asks:
“Hey...do you want...to…”
“Sorry Tiwa, I’m in a hurry...Someone is waiting for me...we’ll talk later…”
“Ehh?” Alejandro passes by her, Tiwa is in shock; “Damn you...I didn’t even finish asking…” Tiwa decides to follow him.
In the cafeteria, there is a group of boys who are surrounding a beautiful girl with purple hair. She is wearing a school uniform with long black socks. The boys begin to ask her out:
“Hey beautiful...come with us...we’ll buy you lunch…”
“Mmpphh...he’s late....”
“VALERIE!” Valerie hears a familiar voice. She sees Alejandro running towards her. She smiles and waves; “Alejandro, what took you so long?”
“Sorry...something came up…”
“Well then...let’s go…” Valerie grabs Alejandro’s arm and both of them enter the cafeteria. The boys are in shock as they whisper:
“She was waiting for that creeper? What the hell, what’s with that loser? She must be blind…”
“WOW THE CAFETERIA IS HUGE!” Valerie says as she looks around. Alejandro is also surprised as he thinks; “Whoa, I forgot about here, it’s been ages, usually I am at the roof, eating alone…”
“Alejandro...why are you with her?” Tiwa thinks with tears in her eyes as she runs in the opposite direction.
Alejandro notices that everyone is watching them. He gets nervous as both of them walk to buy some food.
“Mmm...everything looks delicious, what are you going to get?” Valerie asks Alejandro. Alejandro doesn't pay attention at first.
“Alejandro, are you okay?” Valerie touches his arm, Alejandro comes to his senses and replies:
“Eh, I’m sorry, I will pick the steak...I love meat…”
“Really? Well, I will pick that too…”
“No way...isn’t that the new chick...she’s hot…” One of the guys who hangs out with Carlos says, Carlos looks at her and spills the milk he is drinking as he thinks; “No way...that loser is with her?”
Chelsea, who is with her own friends looks at them thinking; “Who is that girl, and why is she hanging with Alejandro? I thought she was with Uriel…”
“No way is that Uriel’s girlfriend, and why is she with Alejandro?” Angela says as she, Victoria and Marjorie are looking at them. Victoria makes a sinister smile:
“Is she cheating on Uriel? Maybe I can make my move…”
Marjorie looks at her as she only thinks of Uriel.
“Look there is an empty table over there at the corner.” Valerie and Alejandro walk towards the table, Alejandro notices how everyone is watching them as if they were celebrities.
“Hey, Valerie, is it okay if I’m with you...I mean everyone is watching us?”
“So? Who cares, I want you to be with me...besides let them watch me all they want, one day, I’m going to be a famous superstar…”
Alejandro blushes as he thinks; “Man, this girl is something else…” Alejandro and Valerie sit on the table to eat.
In the entrance of the cafeteria, Ian along with two big guys look at Alejandro as he says; “Time for the fun to begin…”
“Perfect...this will be fun…”

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

Not to mention all the different franchises and characters I am going to mention, I don't own a single one of these nor do I claim to by writing this, I just want people to have something to enjoy since I am drained on my other work.I hope you enjoy, and to say it right off the bat since this is something that upsets me, I don't mind if you're critical of the work, but jesus, don't be rude. I love criticism but I hate people that go and put a 1 star with no reason, but if you put 1 star and give me a good reason then I'll use it to grow as an author! Thanks everyone! Hope you enjoy the story!
