《(Old) Legion, God of Monsters》Prologue 2 - Awareness
Advertisement
The small girl looked at the scene around her in confusion. Directly in front of her sat a pristine, pale corpse drained of blood, laying in the center of a glowing red pentagram. The dead man had a bandana on his head which covered his hair, two axes tied on either side of his waist and a grizzly beard. Her eyes were drawn to the two punctures on his neck and, as she watched, a single drop of blood oozed out of the wound and began to trickle down the man’s neck. She tasted blood in her mouth as she slowly ran her tongue over her teeth. It was delicious! She paused as she felt two particularly sharp teeth spaced about the same distance apart as the two punctures on the man’s neck.
A breeze ruffled the girls long, black hair. She knew that the breeze was supposed to be cold but she didn’t understand what that meant. She continued her search and found that directly behind her and on her right side were four more bodies. These ones looked a little different from the one in the circle.
First, their bodies were not in pristine condition. They looked like they had been attacked by some kind of feral beast. A man wearing heavy-looking metal armor was missing his left arm and had a huge hole in his chest which was still oozing blood. A young girl with blood-stained white robes lay on the ground next to him, a look of pure terror frozen on her face. Her neck was twisted at a very odd angle. The other two were facedown on the ground several feet away and their bodies were facing the opposite direction. One of them had a big metal disc with an arm attached sticking out of his back and the other guy’s head was on the ground several feet further down the road. The headless guy had a bow in his hands and the guy with a disc in his back wore leather armor and had a dagger resting under the palm of his right hand.

Second, while this fact was rapidly changing for some of them, for the most part, they all still had their blood… a detail that was both somehow regrettable and welcome at the same time to the girl as she licked her lips and caught the lingering taste of blood once more. She shivered in anticipation.
The girl was standing atop the tallest hill in the area. She could see miles of rolling hills in every direction and to the north-east, she could see walls with small lights walking back and forth atop them. She looked up into the night sky and saw three circles dominating the horizon. The leftmost circle was blood red, the rightmost a clear and almost translucent blue while the center was pitch black and only noticeable because it blocked out the stars. Three full moons. She felt enchanted by their eerie glow and a strange yearning to move closer to them filled her body and soul.
She took a step forward and stopped as she felt the air around her begin to hum. She glanced around and saw that the glowing pentagram was becoming brighter. Light began to rise up from the center, tearing apart and consuming the bloodless man’s body and, after a brief pause, she felt the hill begin to shake slightly. All three moons glowed more intensely and a breeze ruffled her hair again. She caught a loose strand and saw that her dark hair had begun to glow as well. She watched as the black slowly gave way to a silvery platinum. She could only look on in amazement and bewilderment as the lights from the pentagram and the three moons filled her body.

Mycology
Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. To join or not to join? Well, why the hell not? Hello, this is a pretty basic VR story which I started writing out of boredom, don't expect anything too great here, it's a somewhat unique setting but with mostly slice of life comedy shenanigans with no real 'plot' since I can't reliably include stakes in a world where respawning is a thing. I'll try to upload at least once every other week but real life stuff may get in the way occasionally. **WARNING** Protagonist comes with an inbuilt wizard hat. Also, any mentions of chapter titles shall be met with falling rocks TPK. **ACTUAL WARNING** Story may or may not read like the fever dream of an eclectic sasquatch with internet connection. Do be warned, that this story has extremely slow pacing by design. Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/p2gxqs4 Laugh at my empty Patreon!!
