《Transcendental Misappropriation (Book One of the Pentacle Series)》Chapter 2-3
Advertisement
Danny awoke slowly to darkness and a feeling as if his whole body was pulsing to the beat of his heart. He had never felt so tired in his life, and consciousness was a fleeting thing. His thoughts were incomplete...
He couldn't focus for very long and the constant beating of his heart, raging through his body, stripped him of every chance of putting two thoughts together. He fought to get free. Every time he could manage to take in his surroundings it always seemed closer. Everything seemed to slowly close in all around him, suffocating and restricting.
Infrequently, he would recognize muffled noises and lights of different colors. He thought he recognized some of the noises but couldn't focus long enough to remember where he had heard them.
As time passed everything got impossibly tighter, the walls closing in completely around him. He hated this feeling, this place. He had to get out or he would surely die.
Then everything changed.
The walls around Danny began to undulate and squeeze against him as he was suddenly moved. He was forced into a place of absolute darkness, devoid of all sound save his own heart beating. This seemed to go on forever then a shockingly bright light pierced his eyes and then pure noise stabbed into his eardrums.
He closed his eyes as tight as he could, but found he was unable to hold his hands to his ears as he wanted. He was lifted into the air and swung around by something under his back. His arms flailed uselessly as he fruitlessly attempted to balance himself. He tried to scream but he only ended up coughing as he discovered fluid in his lungs. His coughing fit lasted only a few seconds until he could breathe again.
Exhausted, he lay there as his limp form was jostled around roughly, until he was wrapped in something soft. He sensed something looming closer and then it covered the top of his head. He noticed, from behind his closed eyes, the lights in the room intensify. A rush of warmth enveloped him and permeated his overly exhausted body. He felt slightly better.

Deep, booming voices filled the air around him. Danny tried opening his eyes but they still hadn't adjusted to the light level. Eventually, through briefly squinted eyes, he could only make out vague shapes and colors. Unable to figure out what was going on, he was frozen with fear. He lay there, not daring to move. His heavily labored breathing was the only thing betraying his failed attempt at stealth. He wondered if the air here was thinner as his body struggled to take in enough air to fuel his body.
Once again he was moved and Danny felt his faced pressed against something like a soft wall. Fearing he was being suffocated, he struggled to turn his head away but he could only move it slightly from side to side. He struggled and opened his mouth to scream. Before he could get out a sound, part of the wall rushed in and filled his mouth. Fortunately he could still breathe through his nose but no matter how much he fought he could not get away from the wall or eject the part between his lips. In self-defense he bit down, and fluid rushed into his mouth. With no other option he was forced to swallow the liquid, causing more of the fluid to fill him as quickly as he drank.
This continued till Danny felt he couldn't consume anymore and he began to gag. The wall quickly receded from him and he lay there. He couldn't remember ever being so exhausted. With his nerves shot and his body empty of strength, Danny gladly accepted the sweet embrace of unconsciousness.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?

Unbeknownst to even the greatest of humanity's saints, the dragons did not lose to humanity just because of humanity. They had their own hand in their own defeat.

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
