Master Of Myths Chapter 1

"You insects should know your place! How dare you stand before my great self, Kneel!"
A crowned giant man with skin as white as snow declared to the hundred man group before him
"Che, another narcissist loudmouth"
"These guys are all talk, I bet he is going to be kneeling in a minute all astonished and unbelieving that us "insects" beat him"
Two men talked among each other loud enough for everyone to hear, their composed faces lacking any fear toward the giant being
"Insolent fools! I shall Bestow upon you agony beyond belief"
The raging giant held up a great sword half his size and rushed toward the duo, his speed wasn't hindered by his size whatsoever as he appeared in front of them within the blink of an eye
Before he could even swing his hill like sword he felt his skin crawling, taking a step back hurriedly, barely avoiding a dragon made of blood-red flames
"Who dares!"
He looked ahead to see a young man with flaming red hair, his face was the optimum of handsomeness, sharp features, a confidant look, and fearless eyes
"Do not underestimate this guy, he is the strongest foe we have ever faced, use everything you got without holding back"
"Well~ after leader says so much guess I'll have to put in a little bit of effort"
"Heh, I'm not sure if you will get the chance to attack"
The party members bickered after the man spoke
"You shall pay for your blasphemies!"
The giant rushed at the group again while a white haze started to swirl around him, in response every member started to take action as well
'Fools! They missed seventeen sneak attacks that could have really given that giant a run for his money'
Unknown to any of the fight's participants someone was spectating the fight from afar, criticizing them as he did

'Well thanks to their show off nature I could get all the way around without any hassle'
He pleasantly thought as he made his way toward the other end of the large throne room, opposite to the entrance the group came from
His footsteps hasten the closer he got to the throne, his eyes fixed on the crystal shining brilliantly as it floated above the throne's armrest
Once he got close enough to the throne he jumped up and landed on the huge armrest, standing in front of the crystal
'Finally! After all those years of sneaking around like a rat, my efforts are finally paying off'
His eyes couldn't help but lose focus as he recalled the suffering he had to go through to get to this point
'No, why am I dallying? If I wait any longer something unexpected might happen, and with those lucky bastards luck it would go in their favor'
He hastily snapped out of his trance and lifted his hand, holding it above the fist-sized crystal
'Oh Crystal of Fate, Grant me your unending power, Fulfill my sincere desire. Take me back to where it all began!'
He clenched his hand crushing the crystal after stating his wish
Lights enveloped his now visible body, seeping into it, turning him translucent within half a second
'Finally, its the end of this long journey, and the beginning o-'
His thoughts halted when he lifted his eyes seeing a flaming arrow right in front of his dilated pupils, about to pierce through his head
Time seemed to come to halt as he gazed at the rushing giant and angry party with his other eye, the giants seething face, the red head's apathetic look, and the others extreme reactions, the last painful reminder of his value before he left this hell
'Goodbye'
He thought before blacking out, his body disappearing into light

8 138A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
8 106Hero:Generation
UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
