If you find mistakes, pls tell, thx. I don't like mistakes.
###############################################################
I am standing on the smouldering remnants of a broken world. There are some survivors, but it will take a long time for this world to heal, if ever.....
As I take my steps through the molten rock, I leave glowing footprints behind. Maybe someone will wonder about them in a million years? Should I come back by then to check? I snicker to myself.
Simply willing myself to another place above this dead rock I reappear high in the air and take a deep breath. The sulphuric air and temperatures where the fight raged the strongest, would have killed any other living being, but not me.
Yeah, not me. How boring. I don't even remember a time when it wasn't like this? But I am sure there must have been a time like that.
A time, during which I was alive...... a time of joy, a time of wonder, a time in which a little bit of love was enough reason to live on.
But I don't remember such a wondrous time, is that why beings like me start to play with the lives of those who can't oppose us? Is it just because we become too bored of everything.
So we start to roll the dice of life, just to see what happens? It is a pretty pathetic reason I think.
That mountain is blocking the view..... *flick*
*RRRUUMMMMMMMBBBLLEEEE*
Yes, in a few thousand years, this could be a nice valley. Maybe I will pay a visit if I am still around.
“What are you doing here Seria? Playing around!”
I turn around, “Tjenemit! How nice of you to pay me a visit! How is it at the Council?” I smile a splendid smile at Tjenemit.

“The Council is doing fine! I came to check on your job! Have you dealt with them like ordered?”, Tjenemit asks.
“Oh, what do you think of me!? There is no way I would disobey the Council! They are suffering in one of my hells. There is no way they will bother you ever again.”, I link arms with Tjenemit and press my chest against him.
“Hmmmm. I hope so. So can I see them?”, Tjenemit grabs my ass! Bastard! Sometime I will rip your heart out for this.
“Oh, I am so sorry! If I had known. I threw them into a place, just I have access to. I didn't want others to see my ugly side. I guess I could lead you through the river of souls. But you know, its dangerous to loose oneself there! If.... if you really want to I guess?”, yes. Follow me there and I will have the perfect excuse!
“No need for this. I hope you are back soon!”, he disappears. Scaredy-cat!!
“Yes, my slave-master! Oh, how I enjoy to do the councils bidding! We all can have the eternity together in bed or watching each other with suspicious eyes!”, I burst out as soon as he is gone.
One far far away time I will break this frozen state of reality. Everyone will be allowed his own choice again. Whether he chooses to live, to die, to be a god, a person or to be reborn. Everyone will have a choice.
But not yet.......

Ephemeral Shards
Since the beginning of time, individuals have always wondered, ‘Is there any life out there, above the stars?’ Instead, they should be thinking, ‘Is there anything down there, beneath us?’ The Drow are unruly, excessively violent and cunning race when compared to their elvish surface cousins. They are one of the reigning established races within the Underworld. Yet there is always something bigger, slumbering away, buried within deep shadows, waiting to be awakened. Synthia, a young naive Drow has it all - talent as a thief, a position within a high-class crew and the ability to act as graceful as a noble. The Drow Empire is on the verge of collapse due to internal disputes. How do you save a race when they're very foundations are built on lies and deceit? How do you trust someone when odds are, they’ll stab you in the back. How do you survive the terrifying creatures of the Underworld, when you can’t even survive the creatures that live within your own mind? Cover Art belongs to the original artist.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.

Lost Things
"In this disordered continent, where everyone seeks to be the heroes of their own tales, there are still some rooms for smaller stories to breathe." "Past, present, and future—keep your eyes open, and see where they lead you to." This story follows three housemates’ lives: Carson Calding, Virgil Barion, and John Salore—onto their adventures of finding Carson’s past, Virgil’s present, and John’s future. Despite their clashing backgrounds and circumstances that forced them together, they’re definitely going to find the things they had lost, for sure. Each entire chapter will be updated biweekly. There'll be three smaller parts per each chapter. Note that this story was written to be an interactive one, with polls at the end of each parts deciding on what happens next. Though, the polls for this story won't be available on Royal Road updates. (I also upload this in Arcane Odyssey forum, and it's currently the only place where I open the polls and use the poll results from.)
