《Deviant's Masquerade: The Anthology Series》Episode 5 Poll
Advertisement
Given this story's more fluid nature as an Anthology, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which episode I should post next. So instead I'm setting up a poll to let the handful of readers I have now decide, that way I can try and get an idea of which parts of the world people want to take a closer look at.
----
August 9th, 2019: The poll is now closed, and the results are as follows:
With 2 Votes:
Aiden Cain, is a licensed Hunter, this means if someone involved in the Masquerade has a problem, and they don't want to deal with Sanctuary, they go to him. It's not an easy job, but it's a lot simpler than finding out he's now the guardian of a ten year old girl. [Hunters] [Arcane]
With 1 Vote:
Ozzy Creed, ran away from home and is living on the run. A perfectly natural response to being decapitated. (Though the living bit might be a little misleading...) [Deadmen]
Tempest has been a hero for almost three years now. In that time she's saved her city from one of the most infamous villains to date, lost her partner, inspired other heroes, and just done her best to get by. Something she's beginning to have trouble with, given the return of her partner as well as the Beast of Baskerville. [Masks: Heroes]
With 0 Votes:
Felix and his sister Katelyn have been in the foster system most of their lives, though their newest foster home in the town of Blackwell is the strangest they've had, from their odd guardian and his daughter, to the off limits forest. With all these strange things they can't help but wonder if it's all in their heads. [Haven Town] [???]
----
With that the next episode will be Aiden Caine, followed by Ozzy Creed or Tempest, with Felix and Katelyn being pushed down the overall line.

Shatter the Heavens; Slaughter the Gods
Arminius of the ancient era stood over mankind with the ability to perform magic. His ability allowed him to triumph over mortal armies and carve a domain for himself. Then, the martialists attacked. Their individual strength was lower than that of magicians, but the sheer number of them made them an unstoppable force. In the wake of tens of thousands of martialists and hundreds of thousands of mortal warriors, one lone magician was unable to stand against the tide. But, the powers of a magician allowed Arminius to escape the cycle of reincarnation, landing him an eon into the future. In the new age, magicians are entirely extinct, and the martialists from the old era have perfected their martial way, allowing them to attain godly powers that far surpass what Arminius was ever capable of. So, what else should Arminius do except learn their method and use it against them?! Reincarnated as Andric, he seeks to gain the powers of the martialists and reclaim his position at the throne of the world! A fossil of a bygone age where magic was rampant and he ruled with an iron fist, Arminius is reborn into a world in which magic is fading. The non-magical revolution successful and his rule long over, he must master the new ways of martial arts to rule anew.

Rise of the Business [Class]
'Rise of the Business [Class]' is a story about a world where humanity ended up fleeing through space, after suffering several great disasters at home. On arrival we crash-landed and were soon attacked by magic wielding civilizations who learned how to deal with our weaponry with a speed that belied their seemingly simplistic nature. We were lost. But eventually we survived by abandoning technology and adapting. But this tale takes place thousands of years later, after humanity has had time to rise and falter more than once. It tells of a time where we adapted too much, focusing only on combat and magic and learning to rely on the [System] that our ancestors built in order to compete and survive on this hostile planet with the others. This is a story about our final chance during a time when all of humanity is under siege again, where we struggled to adapt too late and ultimately had to learn how to summon a collection of people from Earth through time and space to come help - but not to the 'besieged time' but back a couple of hundred years - before it went too far down the wrong path, so they can hopefully change things enough to prevent a return to that timeline. Follow Livia as she is ripped from her favorite library and end up getting lucky, or unlucky? On her very first day on the Elderwood continent. While a trio of native lads excitedly leave home to find adventure, oblivious to how very soon they might end up entangled in the fate of the world. But the question that remains to be answered, that this first leg of the journey aims to find out; is what can a LitRPG bookworm like Livia do if called on to change humanity and prepare us all for the future, all before her 21st birthday? Find out soon, as we are finishing up book 1 in the coming two weeks. Cheers for reading this far, have a biscuit!

Unfortunately, for Edward Wright, a young and talented writer, it was much more than that. His demise came willingly, fueled by the immense darkness inside his own head. However, instead of going straight to the afterlife, Eddie woke up in a world different from the one he knew, yet one so similar. It was his world - the world he wrote. Quickly he realized that his death brought a terrible cataclysm upon his creations, who are not happy about it one bit and would very much like to see him dead. What they don't realize is that only he can save them and stop not only the end of the world but also the terrible and dark force working behind the curtain.
