《Bugs》Book 2 Epilogue
Advertisement
“Huff! Huff!” The dry breathing of someone running through the dark forest resound through the forest. The man was dressed in a black cloak making it impossible to distinguish his features but he ran with purpose.
Every so often he would stop and pull out a strange compass before running towards where the needle pointed.
After hours of running he finally reached what seemed to be an abandoned village covered in plants and trees. Only a single place looked even remotely different which was a temple at the back of the village.
Walls surrounded the village covered in plants but if someone looked at it properly, they would discover that the walls were not rotten and were new while the plants held a faint magical energy to it, clearly made by magic.
The man walked through a well hidden opening after checking the surroundings and snuck towards the temple before quietly entering it.
He looked around before going to the stone pedestal and kneeled. Near the bottom was a carving in the form of a cross.
The person’s hand came out revealing a rosario that he placed into the opening.
“The god of light leads us to extinguish evil.” he spoke. The rosario suddenly began to light up and a magical circle formed under him. He removed the rosario only to vanish from the spot.
Several dozen meters under the ground, he appeared within a dark room lit by weak magical crystals.
He walked through the room into a corridor which led into a massive stone room where many religious zealots walked around doing their jobs.
They bowed to the man as he walked to the back where an old man stood.
“Reporting to the High Priest.” he said.
“Speak.” the old man said.
“I have located three small groups of recruits and possible demon cultists.” the cloaked man said.

“Good, send the paladins.” he said.
“Also… that man you seek, I have gotten news of him.” He said.
The old high priest’s eyes widened as a flash of viciousness appeared in his eyes. “Where?” he asked.
“He is the first to reach the south west region, Sandora Savannah. What do you wish this servant to do?” he asked.
“The west and south west are blocked by a barrier. It requires us to go through the Sandora desert, it is too much effort for so little gain. Bid our time and recruit more followers for our just cause to hunt down all these bug cultivation heathen.” the high priest said.
“As you wish, my liege.” the cloaked man said and retreated.
The high priest turned and looked at the statue of a god behind him but said nothing more.

8 287Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
