《BROKEN CHAINS》Chapter 5.5
Advertisement
Closing the door behind her she let out a sigh, Hai Mei was an inner sect disciple, someone close to the third realm, in the competitive and hazardous world that was the inner sect she had to keep her image at all times, aloof and proud - but seeing this pitiful child had tested her resolve immensely, she wanted to be nicer to the girl but there was no way being nice would help now that the girl was to be placed in the outer sect.
Hai Mei steadied her steps and shook her head, whatever the outer sect might be it was sure as heck better than whatever that girl had come from that was for damn sure, she could not quite comprehend how people could leave their children like this.
Her quick steps carried her thought long white hallways until she arrived at a simple looking wooden door - her gaze wandered back and forth for a moment before knocking. “Come in little Mei.” a gentle old voice rang out making Hai Mei frown slightly, her grandad even after pestering him for years had never stopped calling her little Mei..
“I beg you once more to not call me that way grandfather.” She curled her nose and her slender eyebrows narrowed “I’m here because of that… girl, there are some problems, first of all, she does not have or simply does not know of her name, I do think it would also be appropriate to give her lessons on basic characters and how she has to act in this place, or it will just be a headache later, a child as young as she that managed to awaken on her own might just be a rare talent so I would assume that this is reasonable.” While she might come across as stern and uncaring to others, her grandfather could see through her facade. “Uh, did the little street child really look so awful that you are this concerned about her?” his amused voice carrying just a slight hint of disdain with it, but he simply shook his head. “If you see these things as needed you may do them yourself, don’t waste any more on someone whose worth is not yet determined, little Mei.” he nodded slightly His gray eyes darted to the piles of jade pieces and scrolls on his desk he had to much work for this so he simply waved his granddaughter off. “I’m too old to name children, you may name her - give her something simple that is fitting for her.” There was little Hai Mei could do but leave, her steps carrying her back a lot slower than before.

“What does he mean I should name her..I’m barely 20!” She huffed and puffed recalling the dirty little girl's appearance for a moment before dismissing any thoughts of naming her after that “I will give her a temporary name until she can decide on her own? I mean I can't just give someone a name…” She went back and forth of everything in her mind as the room with both children dreadfully came closer and closer, this responsibility was something she would rather not have right now, taking a deep breath she opened the door just to find her little cousin happily talking to the girl, on and on about different things before he even noticed her. “Oh, big sis! Your back! I have given her a name! Kou! It’s nice right?” for a moment she froze her eyes darting from her cousin to the girl - while the little buy just went on “Kou, after the white gate of Dongzhou city! You know the north gate is made off white stone!” And then he went on and on off how he got the idea and how she had told him that she liked the look of the gate, she did not pay to much attention while sorting out her mind - apparently, she had been worked up over nothing.
“Good, Kou it is, but... It shall be Yun Kou, I’ve spent some time thinking over it - Yun means cloud so it is quite fitting for you since your life now will be spent in our ancient cloud sect” She explained to the girl - before urging her up. “Good." She shook her head slightly "Now get up and follow me I will bring you to the new place you are going to live in and give your explanations."

Fat Boy Hero
Rueben Burger is a high school student and he is severely obese. He also suffers from a penchant for doing the right thing even if it means placing himself in a difficult or compromising position. Which is how Rueben finds himself in an apartment that is larger on the inside than it should be, about to be fired at by a weapon he has never seen the likes of in a building that is on fire. Super powers! The result of his sojourn in the burning building. Now Rueben has a few decisions to make. Does he become the hero he has always dreamed of being, or does he stay out of the fight to keep his Grandmother safe? Does Rueben give up his power to be the skinny kid he has desperately longed to be? Find out this and much more in the first book of the Fat Boy Hero Series. -History of FBH- Fat Boy Hero is a story long in the making. The idea came from my love of hero stories, but the lack of relatable heroes. By that i mean there were no, or few heroes that dealt with weight gain. Something I have and am dealing with after leaving the Marine Corps. So Fat Boy Hero was born. Check out the link below to listen to an episode of The Round Table Podcast where I brainstormed the idea with the hosts and special guest Michael underwood. http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2013/03/workshop-episode-53-guest-host-michael-r-underwood/ This book is a side project and will be updated as time permits. I hope you do not find this too off-putting.

Verdant Heart Seed - A Reverend Insanity fan-fiction
Back in the Late Antiquity Era, the protagonist meets his untimely demise. But Heaven and Earth always leaves a way out, his new cultivation journey begins anew on the path of reclaiming his former strength and defying Fate.---This is a story about a native cultivator of the Gu world. He lived in the era of/before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable (two venerable eras before the main RI plot). He suffered the rise of the demon venerable, barely able to make his arrangements before his death. He manages to rebirth, but doesn't everything go as planned. The story starts off in an isolated small word (grotto heaven), until the MC can grow and reclaim his former glory, before surpassing it. (long way, he was already rank 8 before) The MC has a pragmatic worldview, aligned with what you would expect from someone living hundreds of years in that kind of hostile environment. He doesn't shy away from immoral acts if it benefits him. The MC bears close resemblance to Fang Yuan in this regard, but his goal is not eternal life.One of my aims was to showcase the later introduced cultivation rules into the mortal cultivation (dao marks, attainment etc.) and explore novel scenarios within this highly technical cultivation environment.

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
