《The Legacy of Gilgamesh》V2 Chapter 2
Advertisement
Amidst the darkness and chaos, a disoriented feeling descended from above. Slowly, Kronos regained consciousness, his mind clearing as he awoke from his slumber.
As his senses fully returned, he found himself in a drastically different place. Before him stretched a shadowy forest, its dense canopy of ancient trees suggesting the passage of countless years.
Clutched in his hands was a bow, its polished wood and taut string ready to be used. His gaze fixed into the distance, as if aiming at a distant target.
A realization struck him, and he muttered, "This is..."
His astonishment grew as he examined the bow. Just moments ago, he had been on the precipice of madness and death. And now, in the blink of an eye, he stood in a realm unfamiliar to him.
Memories began flooding his mind, like pieces of a fragmented puzzle falling into place. He recalled being a mere fourteen years old, living as a regular hunter within the boundaries of a small domain nestled within the vast expanse of the Holy Empire's many kingdoms.
Despite the haze that lingered over his memories, his anger remained a fiery constant within him. "You’re dead," he vowed under his breath, his resolve unshaken.
Kronos winced, clutching his head as the flood of memories subsided, leaving him momentarily disoriented. Gradually, he regained his bearings and surveyed his surroundings.
He came to recognize that he was a hunter by trade, residing in a place called Sacos. Born a God, now a Spector of his former self, he was taken in by a family of hunters, they had found him abandoned within the very woods he now stood in. An elderly man had extended his compassion, adopting Kronos and raising him as his own. Kronos' father, though skilled, was advancing in age and lacked the vigor of his youth.

However, Kronos had grown to become an exceptional hunter himself, surpassing his peers in skill despite his apparent physical limitations and void of memory. Within the confines of his region, his name held a certain renown.
As the reality of his situation dawned on him, he left his current location and embarked on a journey defined by the path set by his resurrected memories. He retraced his steps back home, guided by the vivid recollections of his former life.
Resuming his day-to-day existence, Kronos found himself mirroring the past version of himself. The differences were subtle, mostly involving his actions when alone. During those solitary moments, he would engage in meditation and recite obscure scriptures.
These enigmatic practices had a purpose deeply rooted in his history as a deity. A god in a previous life, he possessed an intimate understanding of mana, the essence of existence. Without the need for spoken words, as his heart formed intent, wordless knowledge flowed through his being, an unspoken communion between his consciousness and his very flesh.

B's Grand Adventure
It has been two hundred years since the first contact with aliens from the planet Proxima Centauri. It has been about one hundred and ninety-eight since the Centurians and humans accidentally connected their computer systems together. That same year Centurian virus took over almost all of humanity's computers. This was right about the time a huge solar flare knocked out all communication on Earth. Some time between then and now secrets were revealed, like secret societies, where the nukes were being hidden, and, most importantly, that there were Fae, magic beings, living among humanity all this time. The Proxima Centurians eventually came to the now weakened Earth to 'check on' humanity about fifty years ago. Some say they are here to colonize what's left of the city-states and raiders alike. But now we focus on a young man who has earned the ire of a Centurian colony and a powerful half-Fae named Jormungrand. This young man has chosen the name for himself as B.

This one is for my daughter. She talked me into it (again) and it is her favorite genre of books. So, Bet, this one is for you. The true-bloods, the masters, they came first.

After a particularly nasty encounter with his Mentor, Heath is on the run. Set on not becoming the new guardian and knowing that decision has now marked him for death. The hunt is on and somewhere behind him is Joshua, the heir of his Master, and the thing that plagues his nightmare, his Mentor Karen.
