《Reiss of the Eternal》Merrow’s Blood – part 1
Advertisement
Imagine the sweetest of sounds, the most enthralling of melodies sung with a voice son vastly beautiful words fail to describe a song that if you heard it, you probably wouldn’t ever forget, even if you tried your hardest to erase, it becomes a part of your very being it attaches itself to your soul, it grips your heart and leeches away all of your attention.
Most can’t do anything but listen to it because, at first, they feel at peace; they drown in harmony, tranquility, and sometimes, for some, even nostalgia.
When they realize what’s happening, it’s almost always too late.
Because this song, this ghost wail of horror, is the sound the fishermen and sailors of the world hate and fear the most.
The people of the sea are some of the most well-respected individuals in places like Ostara and some Ashen Kingdoms, where religious fervor mixes with almost childlike admiration and curiosity... After all, for many, the line between a sailor and an adventurer is a blurry one. They both need to be strong or die.
The sea has never been friendly to anyone, and its real inhabitants are always too keen on ripping apart everything that moves on their waters, from sharks to giant squids to more "exciting" animals like Gin-Firs and the all-mighty Garganomr, sleeping at the heart of the deep blue sea.
But one of the dangers that are seldom warned about, often ignored, and left only to the realm of fantasy and rumor, mostly due to their rarity is an encounter with these creatures of immense beauty.
The experienced seamen are always wary of them, often instructing the young fishermen on the dangers of disturbing the fragile equilibrium that keeps this "peaceful coexistence" with the "deep ones", the "fish people", the "songstresses of the full moon", the "augurs of death", the merrows.
For when the balance is disturbed, the merrow song will be played and is the last thing they will hear as they are dragged down beneath the waves by pale and thin pretty water tendrils… and the monsters of the depths feast upon their flesh.

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
