《Kindred》Chapter 4 - Miss is Strange!
Advertisement
I don’t have a name. However, I’m called many things. Hey, You, Slave, Servant, Maid, Thrash, Shit, Mute girl, One-eyed freak…
It has been a year since I’ve been brought from the Slave House. I was assigned as a personal servant of Sixth Miss, Meira Maed.
The first impression I got from Miss was that she was scary.
The head of this house is the Prime Minister Tristan Maed, who is a renown Martial Artist. Yet, Sixth Miss is way scarier.
There are rumours about Sixth Miss everywhere and, surprisingly, most of them are true.
The latest rumour is about Eleventh Prince cancelling the engagement.
However, that is not a rumour anymore. A week ago, Eleventh Prince personally came and cancelled the engagement.
I’ve heard from the other maids that he apparently doesn’t want to be with a woman who gets injured by slipping on the stairs.
The real reason might however be different. It has been half a year since Sixth Miss slipped, she hasn’t woken up yet.
We, the 6 children that were brought here from the Slave House are attending Miss’s sleeping body every day.
I’m on my way towards Miss’s room. I have to switch with the other children.
At first, we were supposed to work in two groups of three. But, because I can’t talk the other two girls left me alone and joined the boys’ group.
“I hope that this bitch doesn’t wake up.”
As I walk closer, I hear Jack exclaim.
“Watch what you say, Jack. Though I wholeheartedly agree~”
Next, I hear the sound of splashing water and a thud.
“Here you go Miss, I took care of you properly. Now if you excuse us~”
The door opens and the five children leave while laughing.
I open the door and slip inside. When I look towards the bed, I see Miss with a wet towel over her face. I quickly pull it off and wipe her face with a dry towel.

Next, I put the wet towel in the bucket with water, carefully wring it out and put it over Miss’s forehead. Although Miss is a scary person, her sleeping face looks like that of an angel.
As I pull my hands from Miss’s forehead I notice that she is slowly opening her eyes. Miss is awake! What do I do?
Miss slowly gets up and says, “Nnng, where am I?”
She’s touching her head like she was trying to remember something. I would like to ask her if she’s alright, but I can’t talk.
“W, who are you?” Miss suddenly asked me.
I’m in a panic, I don’t know how to answer. The only thing that came to my mind was to put my hands over my chest and bow down deeply.
I steal a glance of Miss while bowing. She’s frowning. “Reinkarnatsiya?” I hear her muttering something, however, I didn’t understand properly.
Will I get scolded?
I hear rustling sounds suddenly and take a look what’s happening. Miss is trying to stand up, but she fell back on the bed.
I unconsciously move towards her and hold her arm.
I moved without thinking! Now I’m in trouble. I will get sold to the Pit. Miss hates when servants are touching her the most.
“I’m fine.” I think I heard something strange. I tilt my head, trying to recall Miss’s latest words. “I’m fine.” She said that, right? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?
She then looks at her attire, and says “Help me get dressed please.”
Miss is strange! Call the doctors, something strange happened with Miss! Did Miss angered the heavens?! Is this perhaps a divine punishment?!
While I’m panicking, Miss is looking at me and giggling while covering her mouth.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 187Thaellis A Kingdom Down Under
A kingdom down under, once it had prospered, expanded, built, and conquered until all that they thought of worth was theirs. Peace ruled for a time the people absorbed in their own self-satisfaction. But eventually, old urges returned. Conquest called, though this time there was no outside outlet to turn it towards. So in ages so long and distant the memories most couldn’t recall, the kingdom turned upon itself. War raged for many years, no one coming close to being considered a victor, it appeared that this self-destruction would go on till nothing was left. Many if given the chance would have claimed that would have been a mercy for this kingdom and its people. For as they killed, and butchered each other over things they already had. Vibrations traveled through rock and stone guiding things best left alone. Creatures came things of horror armed to the teeth with claws, fangs, and armor. Cities fell and were consumed not even the bones of individuals remained, for these creatures hunger knew no limits, had no end. The kingdom rallied together once more, what was left, they fought and fought but their Nightmare had no end. Their greatest, brightest minds worked their magic, carved into stone. Wards they called them, this would keep their Nightmares away. They abandoned attempts to fight and focused on walling every surface of the kingdom with these Wards. It worked mostly, an illusion of peace returned, one that crumbled often, but it was better than before, it was a bearable hell now. So here we start our story as ages have passed for a walled-off kingdom, hunted by a never-ending Nightmare. With a poor but deserving soul born into this world.

The gods play with the fates of people through their incomprehensible games. And what about you? Are you caught as well in the steely trap of destiny? Are you a pawn? Queen? Or maybe a future player? And what is the meaning of the game? What are millions of universes created and destroyed for? You will have to find out for yourself... The author himself is lost. There is no story, no leading idea. There is only the infinite bending of everything and anything in the name of the triumph of meaninglessness. The author just pours endless streams of graphomania on the mind of careless readers. Beware! Graphomurk! *** This is translation of Russian.
