《Slaying Monsters for Dummies》3.12 Payday
Advertisement
Seren believes that a good job brings you safety and money, and a great job brings you a sense of fulfillment. Nothing is quite as fulfilling as being absolutely fucking badass.
The little trio emerges from the earth like a devil from its box, startling an impromptu gathering. She can see old man Forrester with that prick Lewis, a few employees as well as a pair of law enforcement type. They all arrived with their own wheels if the gathering of muddy pickups is any indication. Their eyes, already wide like saucers, threaten to fly out of their orbits as soon as the first cow starts emerging.
“Well I’ll be.”
A tough as nail woman in a sheriff outfit shakes her head in disbelief. Forrester counts the beasts then spits a gum.
“There’s five missing.”
“They were eaten.”
The statement causes some consternation.
“By what?”
Nathan grabs behind himself and brings Orog to the front. The diminutive humanoid waves, squinting in the midday sun.
“Hi chief Forrester. Many greetings.”
Seren thinks that if they open their mouths any wider they’ll pull a muscle.
The sheriff woman turns to her assistant.
“Tell me, Dawson, you seeing this?”
“Yes chief.”
“Am I high?”
“No chief.”
“You positive?”
“Yes chief.”
Forrester casts an annoyed glare and takes another gum.
“That the cattle thief?”
“One of many and before you ask, this one’s ours.”
“Young man, I’m paying you to solve my problem. What guarantee do I have that my cows won’t start disappearing again if there are more of those?”
Nathan smiles genially.
“I thought you’d never ask. Barrett, if you please?”
Barrett takes out what a kid would recognize as a detonator. It even has the red button. A press later, an explosion shakes the ground. Seren can feel the shockwave on her back.

She doesn’t turn around, none of them do. Cool people don’t look at explosions.
“There, the way to the warren is collapsed. That should block the way for the foreseeable future.”
The sheriff is the first to react.
“Well, I would arrest everyone for possession of firearms, explosives etc, but I can imagine the report and I don’t want to end up in the loony bin. Harold you got this under control?”
“It’s fine.”
Forrester walks up to Nathan. He reaches in his shirt pocket and pulls a folded check, which he places somewhere in Nathan’s tac vest.
“You got a business card, son?”
“Yes sir.”
It is the day that Seren realizes that Nathan does, in fact, keeps business cards when going into mission.
“I’ll believe you for now. If your claim holds I’ll spread the word. If you fucked up you’ll regret it. We clear?”
“Yes sir.”
“Then we’re done here. And y’all can get back to work!”
The trio walks to their rented car and take off, leaving the poor mundanes pinching themselves. Seren thinks that half of them will quit drinking and the other half will get absolutely plastered.
Welcome to the party.
She smiles and relaxes into the seat. With the adrenaline finally wearing down, her body lets her know she is thoroughly wiped out and that it will show its displeasure in the morning. At least now she can finally relax.
“Warrior Seren, you are so many strong. You show Orog stabby stick, yes?”
For fuck sake.

A Sith? During The Fall
Darth Zaros was the Empire’s Wrath; the greatest Sith Warrior and a man feared across the galaxy. He was also just my Old Republic game character until I somehow woke up as him. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was sent thousands of years into the future to the eve of the Great Jedi Purge. Alone and surrounded by enemies, can Zaros survive long enough to figure out how he got there? Can he ever find his way back? Follow along as Zaros uses his powers and more importantly, the knowledge of a fan, to navigate his way through a dangerous Universe. I'm working with a mixture of canon and legends stuff. If it hasn't been written over in canon then it will probably be free game. Because I’m reconciling various different sources, power levels won’t be blown out of proportion to the point that force users become the only relevant people in the Galaxy. I added the gore tag just in case. This is Star Wars, so there won’t be any needless blood spatters, but lightsaber duels often end with some body part cut off.
8 198Heartstone
Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is currently updating. For centuries, the portal to another dimension remained closed. Now, it is mysteriously open again, and the link between Earth and Heartstone allows us to journey once more to this magical realm. Book 1 - Arwin arrives in Heartstone and meets some lovely damsels who are unfortunately in distress. He faces off against blue blood nobles to help the people of the Blue Region. Book 2 - Arwin befriends Yaz, a talking skeleton and sets off for adventure. But before they get going, they stumble across a tribe of gorgeous nymphs. All seems fun and games until the goblins arrive. This series is a portal fantasy (isekai) that features wordplay and puns and plenty of cultural references. Reminiscient of Piers Anthony's Xanth series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld, but for a more adult audience. Book 1 is also available on Amazon and other online stores. You can also download from Patreon.
8 67Debts Come Due!
As a child orphand in the war and left with no one I was taken in by the church and trained to be a paladin. My father being a warlock and mother being a witch left me with only two things. The first is the name of a succubus that only asks that in life you do as you will but serve her forever in death. The second was the good sense to question everything that is ever said and never take 'because I said so' as a reason to do anything. After my training was done I could not stay at the church which had forced this fate on me nor could I turn my back on those that needed help and do nothing so I decided to become an adventure and go were I pleased helping whoever I wished on my way. What will my destiny become and where will I go from here.
