Xiao Chen glanced at his system panel that just issued him a new mission. It was an optional mission which he could just ignore, but the reward, still being an unknown, triggered his curiosity. He wanted to find out what that mysterious reward is and who knows, it might be something good.
"Galum'nor, establish a defensive line and keep watch. Get the women in the center of your formation." he muttered as he brought his enormous weapon in front of him and checked its condition. His weapon was filled with damages with how rough he treats it in fights. There were numerous chips on it and some cracks were all over the place.
"Adhalia, let me borrow Grogus for a while." he said as he glanced at her, who was looking around the tree lines and checking for the presence of enemies. Aro'shanna just nodded her head and continued on what she was doing, walking around while her axe was in front of her chest.
"Grogus, Draegh'ana and Adhalia will be with me. "

"I might need a new weapon later. Something that could last longer." he softly muttered as he went down the stairs first. The walls were tight, and he had to squeeze his gigantic frame through some parts of the path. Glancing behind him, he saw his three companions proceeding forward with no difficulty.
Xiao Chen can't help but smile helplessly. His new body sure have its perks than his old one but it also comes with disadvantages and one of them is what he is experiencing now, he is having a hard time traversing the narrow path that leads to somewhere under the altar of the Bloodpool Goblins.
Proceeding forward with extreme caution, Xiao Chen inspected every nook and cranny before stepping his foot forward. He was checking for traps and other things to ensure his safety and those who were with him. There were ugly carvings along the walls which looked like different animals mashed up together, which gives off a very ominous feeling. Staring closely at one carving, he can't help but shudder in fear. He didn't know where his fear came from, but it seemed like it just came from his very being.
He felt a slight headache as fragments of memories assaulted him. Staring in front of him, there thousands or millions of such creatures charging at him. But he was sure that he had never encountered them before, which confused him. The memory fragments came and disappeared quickly before he could even make any sense of it, but he was sure that it didn't belong to him.
"Chief, are you alright?" Draegh'ana put her hand on his shoulder, which prompted him to turn around. "I am alright..." he answered to calm down the female orc who had a look of worry in her eyes and glancing down, he also saw Grogus and Adhalia having the same look of worries which were directed at him.

"Let's go, it's nothing." Xiao Chen muttered as he continued on their path. He was confused, really confused about the sudden memories that assaulted him, which didn't belong to him. Thinking about the things that he saw, his head started to hurt, which confused him even more. 'What the hell was that? Who did those memories belong to?' he thought, but he just put it all behind him as he still had to give all his attention in checking their way.
"Get down!" He suddenly shouted as a part of the floor which he stepped on suddenly sunk to which the two ladies quickly responded by laying down on the ground while on their bellies. Grogus just stared at the arrows which safely passed above his head. His height saved him from being hit by the numerous arrows.
Standing up, Xiao Chen glanced at those who were behind him and saw the two ladies still on the ground while Grogus was staring at him blankly. He can't help but shake his head as he looked at the little goblin, who was probably in a state of shock about what just occurred. If he was just a few inches taller, the arrows would have hit him right in the face, but lucky for him, he was a short goblin.
"Adhalia, stay close to Grogus and ensure that he is fine." Xiao Chen muttered as he pressed forward. He had all his senses on high alert as he just learned that there were traps along the path.
A few moments later, they arrived at a wider space where there were four statues of hobgoblins that had six tentacles on their back and four tentacles on their chin. They looked like hobgoblins through and through, but the only difference is that they have tentacles on their back and face and they have no eyes or nose and they are all naked with their stone private parts fully displayed.
Xiao Chen used his spear and knocked on the statues which resulted in his weapon producing a clanking sound. 'Hmmm... They are statues alright' he thought, but he can't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong. "Stay back, let me check things out first." he said while using his weapon to block the path of those who were behind him.
He approached the nearest one to him and inspected it closely. The statues were so well made that they looked alive. If not for the cold feeling on his hands, Xiao Chen would have thought that they were alive and not statues. He was moving his hand around the figure of the statue while his other hand tightly gripped his weapon in preparation for anything.
"Chief!" Draegh'ana suddenly shouted, which jolted Xiao Chen as he turned around quickly with his weapon in front of him with both hands gripping on his weapon. He looked around his surroundings for the presence of any enemies, but there was no one except for his three companions and the statues.
"What happened?" he questioned as he knitted his brows in confusion. All three of his companions had a looked of surprise on their faces and they were all pointing at one of the statues that were further away from them.

Grim Beginnings
For most, ghosts and monsters were fantasy. For Tessa Byrne-Reyes, they were a constant in her daily life as a reaper. The legendary gods and creatures of mythology were, to her, historical figures. From a young age, she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, possessing what she saw as a curse but what her family considered a gift. It was her birthright, to use her abilities to guide the deceased to the afterlife of an eternity in peace or in torment. Her classmates viewed her as "the fainting girl" who would pass out in the middle of a lesson with inexplicable injuries. She experienced each death in the town of Belmont Falls, from the mundane to the gruesome. A gunshot wound in the gut, broken ribs, her heart ceasing to beat for several minutes. No one understood what caused these incidents but over the years, she gained a reputation for being abnormal. While Tessa is the freak of Belmont Falls, Fin Belmont, the charming rebel and son of the richest man in town, is her polar opposite. Knowing each other for years but never saying more than a dozen words between them, one night changes everything, thrusting them into each other's unfamiliar and daunting worlds. Together, with the help of her best friend/his ex-girlfriend Elena, they begin to unravel secrets about their town and their pasts, learning that some secrets are better left buried and grudges can be held for centuries.

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
