《The Skeleton King》Prologue:Champion of Darkness
Advertisement
Connor Green, he was a strange kid to everyone. He didn't like hanging with anyone,so to cut the story short, he was a loner. In his mind he considered human's trash and disgusting, so naturally he , thought that way about himself as well eventhough he had a good family. As for his looks, he was neither ugly nor beautiful, just average. But in his mind he didn't belong in this world.
Connor considered committing suicide but he just did not have the courage to do it.
Because of his nature, everyone in class avoided him and with time they even started bullying him.This however did not matter to him, as he just wished for his and everyone's else death but in the end he still hated being disturbed by the bullies.
The bell rang and everyone got to their seats and just as they all had sat down, a loud bang was heard in the hallway. Students whispered to each other, curious as to what the origin of the sound was.
Not long after, instead of their teacher, a nervous man walked in. In his left hand he held a gun and in his right a small trigger that was linked with a wire that went inside his shirt.
All of the students got scared some even screamed.
The man was startled and in that state pressed the trigger in his right hand. In those seconds of explosion all the students wore terrified expressions. Well, all of them but one of them, Connor Green, he was smiling ear to ear as if it was the happiest moment in his life.
After some time, Connor awoke. He could not see anything. Only darkness, endless, everlasting darkness, but when remembered what just happend he felt so extremely happy he simply couldn't do anything other than just start laughing.

"Hahaha, finally, finally my wish has come true hahaha."
He continued laughing for some time until he heard a voice behind him.
"You know boy, you sound like a mad man."
Connor started turning around, however the only thing he could see was the darkness.
"Hey, who are you? God? The devil? I am dead, right?"
Connor asked the darkness, as there was noone else to answer his questions.
"Well yes, you are dead, your body, at least. You are here now only as a soul. Nothing more. And as to your question about god or devil, yes you could call me something like a dark god."
"Oh a dark god ......Wait if we did have a dark god, that would be the devil, right?"
*sigh* "No, not the gods and devils from your world."
"Your world.... Wait, that means, you are a god from a different world?!" Connor asked with excitement in his voice, he had read many stories about different worlds and reincarnation.
""I am going to be reincarnated into a new world, aren't I!?" Connor's non-stop asking made the voice sigh again.
"Yes, yes. You are, but first I want to tell you why and what you need to know. So listen well."
Connor only nodded.
"Okay. So first things first, my name is Erebus the god of darkness. I am the one who summoned you here. As for my role among the dark gods you could say I am something like a supreme god. All the dark races worship me. Now the reason I summoned you is a very simple one: You are going to become my champion.
You see, the humans ,with the aid of the light gods, summoned heroes into this world to help them win their war against the demons. And said heroes are your classmates. Every single one of those "heroes" is blessed by a different god with special skills.

But I decided to intervene with their summoning and get a champion of my own, heh.
Well there you go. Ah! Also unlike the heroes who are blessed by only one of the gods, you alone shall receive the blessing of all the dark gods. I should also mention you will not be human anymore, though I do not know what you will be after your reincarnation. Do you still have some questions?"
Erebus asked but Connor only shook his head and wore a smile on his face like a mad man.
"Well then without further ado go to the world of Aurora and wreck havoc across the land in the name of the dark gods."
What came next was the was a blinding light, but everything was over in a second.
When Connor opened his eyes and started looking around, what he saw in front of him was a torn red carpet obstructing his most of view. What he could see however, was that he found himself in a big room filled with rubble and broken stone pieces.
Connor noticed he was sitting. When he got up and moved past the torn carpet, the first thing he saw was a throne missing a piece on it's top right.
Connor looked around a little more until he noticed, he was wearing a golden full plate armor. The thing that shocked him the most however, ware his hands. They were nothing more than bones. Only when he examined himself a little more he came to a conclusion.
He was a seven feet tall skeleton in a golden Plate body armor with a crown on top of his bony skull. In addition to his armor he also had a blackish grey cape with strange patterns on it.
"Well better this than nothing. At the very least, am not a human anymore hehe."

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

First of all this is a story that I´m writing casually in my free time so i think for the first few chapters dont expect regular updates.. This will be a story where the comment squad has a heavy influence on the story because I would find it funny to try and mix some things in that you guys suggest me in the comments :)Anyway now to the synopsis : This is a story about a boy named James Anderson.James died because he was struck by lightning while he was walking down the street on a rainy evening... After he thought everything was over he heard a voice asking him for a wish and for one wish only.. He knew his answer as soon as the question was asked because he fought for his whole life despite being only 19 years old.. He always has had a rough time because his family was poor and they needed to fight for every bit of money they could get.. he got in fights a lot.. so his wish was a simple one that would change everything.. " I wish to have the potentiell to become the strongest being in all existence so that i dont have to fight anymore !

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
