《Re:Immortal》5. Immortal sacrifice
Advertisement
The horror of being chased by someone who wants to kill you - who wants to eat you alive. It’s hard to describe it.
Every step is important, because you won’t get another chance. Every second takes so much time, making it seem as if the world stopped only for you. Your legs tremble, and eyes begin to water, as your breathing gets louder, and louder. You finally look back.
Where are they!? Where are they!? Did I run away? Am I safe?!
You are not safe. Stupid wishes like this don’t come true.
Your heart begin to pound faster, as you take another look. After that you take another one. You need to see. You need to know, where they are. You need to make sure. It’s too scary, not to know.
This is your last mistake. You get slower, and you don’t even look where you are running. It’s so easy to trip over. It’s so easy to miss a rock, or a small hole in the ground.
You try to get up, but you know it… You know it in your heart…
You are going to die.
“Adam!” Anna shouted, when she looked at me. She didn’t stop… She didn’t hesitate even for a moment. Why would she?
She needed to survive. People don’t live for others, nor they need to die for them. We don’t live in a fantasy world… I think we don’t.
When I turned around, I saw it...
I looked at the wolf. I looked at his teeth, and I looked at his mouth. I could see it so clearly. His tongue, and beautiful fur. It was so close. So close…
I screamed in pain, as he bit my hand. So much blood. There is so much blood. I didn’t know, that I could bleed so much…

I tried to kick him, but it didn’t help. As I fought with him, I saw the others running towards us.
I was going to die...
Anna, help me! Please, help me! Come here! Why are you running!? Please! Help!
It didn’t take them long, to get to me. They must have been really hungry, because they didn’t wait at all. One of them bit my leg, growling angrily. I tried to fight, but there wasn’t much I could do. I hit one of them in the nose, but it only made him madder.
Yeah, he got so mad, that he attacked my throat, and he tore it open…
So much blood. There is so much blood. Their mouths, teeth, fur… All covered in my blood...
I couldn’t breathe… It was a first time in my life that I felt so helpless. He kept my neck in his mouth, looking at me with anger.
I felt that my stomach was getting teared open. It seemed that one of them decided to use his claws. This pain couldn’t be described with words, but getting eaten alive… This was even worse.
I wanted to scream. I really did, but I couldn’t.
That’s why I just looked in the sky, waiting for the pain to go away. I looked at the clouds, thinking that I will die…
How wrong I was…
I started screaming when the wolf let go of my neck. My throat healed almost instantly. I didn’t understand it, but there was something far more important right now.
I wasn’t dying...
No! Help! H-Help! Please! Someone!
I looked around the village with pain, but I couldn’t see anyone. It seemed that they hid in their houses. I could only scream. I wanted to call them, but words wouldn’t escape my mouth. I could only scream...

Don’t leave me! Please! Don’t leave me! Help me! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to be here! Please! Help me!
My hand! Don’t! No!
I screamed once again, when one of them ripped my hand away. It grew back… It grew back in the same moment!
Why?! Why is this happening?! Someone, please! Help me! Save me! Please!
I grabbed some sand from the ground, and I threw it at them. Of course it didn’t help much, because once more it only angered them.
It angered them so much, that one of them decided to rip my head off.

A world where Charlie could become the ultimate expression of their desires, dreams, and aspirations. After all, a dungeon isn't confined by the constraints of human interpretation.

The Arcanist Seer
An eye of which sees everything beyond the skies and heavens saw an embodying fate with reek of blood and greed. He who sees the future and yet is restrained by his own shackles of his destiny. An eye that serves a purpose but nothing in exchange for his freedom. Will he remain as a tool of his adversary or escape from his own shackles of fate? This is a story of two old men trying to free from the shackle of their destiny set in a future only to await their impending doom. This is a story of a dead god, and of a storyteller, trying to break from the bonds of the past. And as their stories go, one of them will face the events that unfold in their distant past, as the other one will unveil its mystery predicted by its future. Is it a mistake to challenge fate, after all? *** The world-building is set upon on the universal scale, with dungeon and old-style fantasy. It has a progression that follows with the consistency of a dungeon setting, although it's not what you call a dungeon, but a function of a crystal. There's a lot to take in this novel, but that's all within my intention. I have always enjoyed challenging conventional ideas. The cover is not mine, it's just temporary.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
