Cable glanced at the HUD; it showed the broken outlines of humanoids moving into the cavern. They had fearsome appearances from what he could piece together, and there wasn’t one without a visible scar.
“Nova, we really need a better detection system for next time. Let’s wait for now, and see what they do. I have a trump card lined up, it’s just a question of how long it takes to summon.”
“Very well Admin Cable, but please note I don’t trust them. They look like mercenaries or bandits. They are both greedy types of people, always chasing money.”
The leading humanoid strolled to the center of the cavern, and held his torch up to look around.
“Brats, we hit the jackpot! Now you know the drill, get in quick, grab the stuff and get out faster!”
“Aye Aye cap’n.” A small humanoid with a swinging tail and gleaming eyes glanced around with careful apprehension.
“Shut yer trap and get movin’! That mage isn’t shelling out coin for nothing, we have to be back before that pansy decides to start experimenting on us instead!”
“Boss, boss! Look at this one! It’s glowing brighter than the others, look, it’s flickering! Ooh, it’s shining - “ A small feathered humanoid with what looked like folded wings picked up the dungeon core and held it up.
“Featherbrain! Put that away and get the rest!” the big one snarled.
Cable looked at Nova, and nodded. “Time to stop this. Last thing I want is to end up in a magic lab.
Set target(enemy): leader humanoid.

The dungeon core flared with light, revealing the startled feather-kin and cat-kin. Green, blue and golden motes of mana streamed out, rapidly solidifying into the shape of a daschaser. Quickly turning towards the leader humanoid, it started whining with increasing pitch as the laser charged. Half a second later, a golden beam of pure energy phased through the targeted kneecap. As soon as the brigand hit the floor, another beam phased through his head.

8 127The Spirit Veil [The Akh Chronicles: Book 1]
Ever since she was born, Aurora Diaz has had a gift: the ability to see spirits. She's gone through life with this as a normal thing; her cousin, Arthur Diaz, at her side with the same ability. Together, and with their spirit friend, Lydia, they help lost spirits and keep an eye on the Spirit Veil--the barrier separating the world of the living and the realm of the dead. The three come across an ancient scroll linking to Lydia's life before death. The scroll comes with a warning: there is a time when the Veil can be broken every ten thousand years. This date is within the next two weeks! When another version of the scroll is found on a dig, it is soon stolen by a spiritualist eager to prove the existence of life after death. Aurora, Arthur, and Lydia set out to stop them before one of the greatest secrets of existence is unleashed upon the world of the living.

I used to be completely normal dude, living the life. Not bad not great, but it was okay.Well that was until i died miserably.Usually that would be the end of it, but to my surprise that was only the beginning.I had a life.I had a friend.I had a job.Aaaand now my only pride is whiskers, maybe a tail as well.Follow me on my adventure through my second life, where i will surely not die miserably ever again. This is my second attempt at story. I have no doubts there will be plethora of typos and possibly even mistakes. I will try my very best to fix anything, anyone will point out. English is not my native language but i will do my best.Enjoy my story and have a nice day.
