《No Longer In the Fields, 45th Hunger Games (COMPLETED)》Chapter 18

Siren's POV
Day 5 in this hellish arena. 6 are left, and I'm gonna make that stupid redhead and the district 11 idiot die a slow, painful death. I spent the whole day searching for tributes, and I found the little girl from 12, but she is too quick, that girl can run. I found her in the woods around noon and I swung my sword at her, but she dodged it and swept my legs out from under me.
She grabbed her backpack and ran. I got up and started sprinting, I had longer legs, so I knew I would catch up to her, but alas, I didn't. I lost sight of her and she's now in the field somewhere. I did take her fire and the remaining supplies she had though. I'm surprised she can run so fast, as I remember Luster threw a spear into her leg, which I have to thank him for because he took her best skill and turned it into a weakness, even if he was an idiot.
I stay at her camp for the night and I see the stars rise. It's so quiet at night here if you're not fighting. I think how I'm the last career and I think about my family back home, knowing that only one will come home. I see the stars in the sky. I know that it's all simulated and the sky couldn't even be real, but it's pretty either way. I hear rustling in the bushes and I grab my bow hurriedly, and load it, waiting for whatever it is to come out, I can shoot it in the face. I see pitch black, but it starts moving, like hair... or fur.
I shoot it immediately as I realize and I am pushed to the ground and I see fangs, and it reminds me of an animal that steals fish back in district 4, a black bear. But its fangs are razor sharp and it tries to snap at me. I also see poison dripping from its fangs which looks like they are straight from Satan itself. I shove another arrow into its eye and finish it off by shooting an arrow into its chest.

I kick it away, knowing if that poison touches anything, I'll be dead sooner than if I was shoved with a sword in the head, much like Ajax. I realize I just took down a whole mutt and I feel a sense of pride rush through me. I look to the nearest camera I see and nod, I know the capitol will love it. I hear a familiar sound and see a balloon coming to me. It lands in the bush where the mutt came from and opens it.
I find a loaf of bread, which is good because I was running low on food, and I don't trust the food here in the arena. I use my backpack as a pillow and fall asleep thinking what to do tomorrow, on day 6.

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep

A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)
