《Monsters of Terra: A Compendium》Ghouls
Advertisement
Few things invoke such terror in me! But, others must know of the dangers they pose. If only so they know to avoid them at all costs.
Ghouls are undead creatures often born from improper burial, or dark magic.
Though these creatures may be your family… your friends. It is vital you remember they are not.
While ghouls possess memory of their lives before death, they are nothing like they once were. They are cunning, intelligent undead, but are overcome with a fierce hunger.
Have you ever gone days without eating? Have you ever felt your insides gnaw on you and scream for sustenance?
Then you have some inkling of the un-life of a ghoul.
Whoever they once were, is lost forever. Submerged beneath a ravenous hunger that blots out all other thought.
I have heard rumors of such creatures being kept beneath certain cities, but I can assure you they are just that. Rumors.
No-one would be foolish enough to keep ghouls as pets!
They are stronger than any man, fast when they choose to be, and impossibly hard to kill. Their long claws are coated with a paralytic.
Yes. It will paralyze you and devour you while you are unable to even scream.
Surely now you see the folly of keeping such dark creatures around!
I assure you. No city in all of Terra would ever keep them around. Such rumors are merely the result of those with nothing better to do!

Become Immortal
Five or more releases per week (mostly five- from monday to friday) If someone wants to draw a cover or even (better) the characters for me I will be eternally grateful. You can send your drawings to [email protected] Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five martial brothers Dragon, Tiger, Hawk, Snake and Turtle, living their life on planet earth. Hitting a bottleneck in their training and seemingly unable to advance anymore, they decide to act after the methods of an old martial arts scripture. So they started killing. Not ordinary people, not innocents, but gang and organisation members all over the world. At some point they realized, that the promised breakthrough didn't come, but they continued killing the dangerous members of society even though that made them criminals too. Then, during one of their raids, they walk into a trap and get killed in the process. Surprisingly their souls didn't vanish after the destruction of their bodies. Does it have to do with the ancient martial scripture they read? Is it fate? They get transported through the whole universe and countless galaxies until they are sent down onto a different world, several thousand times larger then earth. That is the start of their journey. Will they become peerless experts, dominate their enemies and find true love? Or will fate decide their deaths?

8 103Reborn Magician Tyrant [Old]
Author's Note #4: This is the old, hastily written version. A great magician from the Human Kingdom travels west to fight the Demon Kingdom. Finally, after eight long years of war, the Human Kingdom emerges triumphant! But, just as the Human Kingdom begins to celebrate the victory, an enemy from a land far to the east attacks! After rushing to help support the Human Kingdom capital against the assault, the magician is met with the sight of his beloved city razed to the ground. The magician fights off whatever invaders he can, using whatever tactics he knows, but he is eventually felled in combat due to the superior abilities of the invaders. However, death is not the end! The magician reincarnates, awakening as a citizen of the empire which conquered his home! Author's Note #3: Okay, that's the end for me. This is too boring for me to continue writing, and I've gotten back to writing Reborn as a Dungeon Core in an Apocalyptic World. At 26,772 words, this has gotten too boring for me to continue. I'm probably going to take this basic story and rewrite it into something way better w/ longer chapters, but at least I had fun for the six days it took to write this much. PS - Love the reviews; they're great. Way to go, dude with 22 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down!
