《Just a Rock》Chapter 42: Fall of an Empire
Advertisement
A buzzing sound filled the air as the swarm came. The vibrations from their wings seemed to tear the very sky apart. Within the forest there was a clearing, within that clearing was another forest, within that forest was another clearing, but no longer. Everywhere around the colony was wasps, a swarming mass of death and destruction. Even the rock was coated with a thick layer of these beings. The only place not touched was the very entrance of the colony itself.
The wasps purposely kept their distance, staring into the seemingly empty tunnel. Once everything settled down, an eerie silence filled the area. The silence before the storm. It did not last long as the first wasp rushed inside the tunnel. The walls came alive to fend off this intruder. It seemed to be an unpenetrable defense to this one wasp. Once more entered the equation, all bets were off. The second and then the third entered followed by a fourth, fifth, sixth...
Wasps were much larger than ants so one might assume that the tunnels of ants were too small for a wasp to enter. However, the ants must account for multiple ants entering and exiting at once and larger variations of ants like the queen. Besides, this was a large colony that had been constantly expanding, so it's entrance was larger than usual. Not only could a wasp enter it, but several wasps could enter it side by side. Their excessive expansion led to their downfall.
Dozens of wasps flooded the underground passages, ravaging everything they could. The ant resisted with everything they could. One, two, three, four wasps fell. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty ants fell. The wasps were too strong. With every one that died, two replaced them. The ants were seemingly innumerable as well, but this proved to be false after several rounds of fighting. All the soldiers died and left only the workers to hold the last line of defense. And then, the fighting ended.

The Horseman's Culling

There was no warning, there was no gloating from some deity figure or system notifications designed to give humanity a fighting chance. There was only unbridled chaos and slaughter, as most of humanity’s technology no longer worked.Deep in the dark void of space, nestled within the huge mass of dirty ice known as Halley’s Comet, an ancient guardian noticed the change on Earth while in its perihelion approach to the Sun. On that day, Týr returned to the realms of mortal men.Warning: Rated 18+

Polly and Drake
Drake has been searching for a job as a personal guard, but wherever he turns, he is kicked out without fail. It's not that he's terrible with weapons, or inattentive. It could be because of his obvious racial heritage. Or because of Polly. With his funds dwindling, the only remaining option is to become one of the Cursed: poor souls that work for the Dragoneye Guild. In other lands, they may be called adventurers, saviors or even heroes, but not in the White Desert. Here, they are shunned and ignored. Depraved people who forsook their humanity for money and fame. With this choice, Drake may not only fall from grace, but also become one of only a few thousands capable of unearthing the secrets of ancient times. If he could get this guardsman notion out of his head. May contain gore, violence, profanity and traumatising content. Taking another shoot at this writing business. I write for fun and when I have time. There is no plan. The story may change drastically from what it starts out - or not. We'll see what happens. Currently, I'm aiming for a Slice of Life with LitRPG elements at a later time.

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
