33. The undead on the phone
« Hi? »
“Hi, teacher~ Ray’s at home now.”
« I know. Why are you calling me teacher? »
“Because you teach me things about how death works and all that jazz.”
« … Oh. »
“You know, we were worried you would be wandering around, searching for Ray.”
« I got a call from the Lord and came back. »
“It figures. So you were searching for him.”
« Since I was ordered to protect him. »
“… Only because of that?”
« Why else? »
“Well, you’re not coming to Ray’s house to play video games because you’re ordered to, right?”
« … Mm. Hum. I’m busy now. »
“Heehee… What are you doing?”
« Taking out the trash. The Lord didn’t know how to wrap the freezer, so he bought lots of gift wraps and ribbons. »
“… So adorable.”
« Who is? »
“The Lord. Well, his son too. Those two are so hopeless sometimes.”
« … They are. Say, did you really run away from the young master? »
“Eh! Certainly not! Haha, I can’t get mad at Ray. You know, he’s that kind of guy you can’t get mad at.”
« Are you sure it’s not because you’re the kind of guy who can’t get mad at anyone? »
“Haha, definitely not. I get mad pretty often. It’s just that I don’t start screaming like Zeeta, but I don’t try to keep it to myself like Ray either. You’re actually more that type of guy, Arkill. You’re so collected. I kinda admire that side of you.”
« … Thanks. Oh, also, thanks for the recommendation, the Magnetocore band. I listened to their music. I like it. »
“Eeh… Magnetocore? I’m glad you like it too! Aren’t those guys, like, super funny? They’re from Betul, a region of Taipei in Bird Island. My dad’s from there, and guess what, he knows the guy composing their music. And I know the youngest members of the group. I used to play with them, in summer, when I went to my grandparent’s. They were older than me, but it was fun! It’s a shame they stopped making music now… Oh, wait, but when did I recommend it to you?”

« When you were drunk and you started screaming like a madman. »
“Oh… I really don’t remember a thing. That’s weird. Has something like that already happened to you?”
« It has. A long time ago. »
“Oh? Can you tell me?”
« … You’re meddlesome. Louise, just in time, I’ll take that bag, you take the phone. »
« Me? Okay! Who’s on the phone? Hello? Hello? »
“Hi, Louise. Did Arkill run away?”
« Mm! He went to resick the ribbons! »
“Resick? You mean, recycle? As expected from my teacher. He got rid of me so stylishly. How are you doing, Louise?”
« I’m fine! I’m wearing the headband you gave me! And I’ve found gifts! A lizard and a lil bird. I’m gonna bring them to Ray’s and use the freezer! I put ribbons on them! Oh, but I shouldn’t have said that if it’s a surprise, right? »
“Aha… It’s all right. Come any time with your lizard.”
« Ah, but I haven’t decided yet which one will be yours or Ray’s. If you win, you’ll have the lil bird. »
“Why is the lizard less than the bird?”
« Because it lost its tail. Are you ready, Alumen? Rock, paper, scissors! »
“… How are we supposed to play that on the phone?”
« … I don’t know. How? Oh, I know, let’s make a video call! »
“Just bring the corpses already!!”

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
