《Woke Up a Tree.》Chapter 18

“Hey, Captain. You think this is a good idea?”
“We have our orders.”
In military speak this was a bad idea.
“No one has returned from this area.”
“That's not true. Plenty of people have returned from the tree.”
“No one friendly to us.”
“You are dangerously close to insubordination soldier.”
“Yes sir.”
“The egg heads back at base think those idiots are holding out on us. They have something in there that’s helping to fight off these monster attacks. And they aren’t sharing.”
“That’s positively unamerican sir.”
“Damn right it is.”
There was a slight rustle of clothing as the group moved closer to the tree. The tree towered over the surrounding area. You could see it for miles all around. The group walked in single file. They had a soldier in front with sword and board. An archer was second in line. The captain was in the middle. Another soldier with sword and board was behind the captain. Another archer brought up the rear.
The column walked in silence for a time. The terrain was gently rolling hills with shrub and grass growing. The area was known for its wheat fields in the before times. Now there was a rapidly growing forest expanding out from the tree. The tree was affecting everything in its domain.

“Archers in the front.”
The lead tank threw up a barrier.
Thonk thonk thonk.
“Ambush.”
“Fuck.”
“I don’t see them.”
“There in the grass. To the left. Two little green fuckers.”
The two archers in the column moved forward and began firing.
“Suppressing fire.”
The captain's hands began to glow. “Lightning burst.”
The trailing tank moved up next to the captain to make sure no one went after the squishy.

“Shit, more little fuckers on the right.”
“There’s a big one in the back.”
Fizzzzzzzz
“Shit, something’s jamming my spells.”
“Typical”
“Archers. Focus fire left. Tanks front right.”
“Aiiiiiiiieeeeeee.”
“Oh shit. A sneaky fuck got the captain.”
“Fall back.”
“Grab the cap. We can’t go back without him.”
“BAGA NOOG. BAGA NOOG. BAGA NOOG.”
“The fuck was that shit.”
“Hurry it up.”
“Aw shit.”
Skeerrbooom.
The entire group was wiped out. The only witnesses a handful of little green men and an ant. No one knew the ant was there.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

A Tale of the Golden Crown
Life is unpredictable. If you turn left, you could meet the love of your life. Turn right, and be a millionaire. And if you think you are clever, go straight, only to be killed by brick-kun and reincarnate as an Heir to a Duchy. Which is fine as long you ignore plots, rivalries and struggles for power, but even if the tales of the Golden Crown are so many as stars in the sky, they all weigh the same in the end. Follow with me the story of Leonidas, as he tries to find his way in a Kingdom at the verge of a civil war and to find out, what the rules of his rule should be, so that his own crown would not crush him to death. And of course, conquest and plots! And action! I hope… Hi! The story is a little bit inspired by CK2 and Stronghold and serves two purposes: to better my writing skills and to have fun! So, I welcome grammatical criticism and pointing out plot holes, as I would want the story to make sense for my readers too! Have fun! 31.05.2022. Currently in Hiatus, as I hit a wall in writing conversations. So I will try something else and come back later to this story.

I like shorts! They're comfortable and easy to wear write! These are just a series of shorts that I've written at some point in time.

Note: Tags/Genres have been picked, but some stories may be tagged independantly if the content is on the more disturbing side. ^^ Short stories that will be related to my main story will be tagged [EOS] Short stories featuring some of my EOS characters in a story unrelated to the main one entirely will be tagged [eos] Hope you all enjoy :).

White Clover Guild
The world of Twinwirl, divided among four continents protected by the twin deities of Light and Shadow, is a world where humans and monsters live together. After the great war one thousand years ago, the Light Deity went into hiding and the balance of power is divided unevenly among gods seeking to retain relevance and power. Even in this modern world, people still rely on bravers--individuals who adventure to keep the world order--to protect towns and cities. One day, the Light Deity decided it was time to give up the life of a hermit and regain her power through gathering faith. How? By starting a guild for bravers!
