《The Ruby Eyes Serpent》Prologue - The day that I die
Advertisement
Prologue - The day that I die The day was much colder than usual, with the late autumn wind blowing against her long almond hair, which in turns whips her face continuously throughout the day that it is starting to become annoying.
On this day, at 4, she was to meet her 'many' friends beside an old well, on the outskirts of town. When she got there, two of her friends were already there, waiting for her to arrive. She was the last to arrive.
"What took you so long, Ruby.” Her friend asked her. ”You made the bet and lost, fair and square. So now you must do a dare.” Her friend said which she couldn’t reject since it’s true. “Or are you going back on your words. Scaredy Cat! I dare you to jump over that old well.” Her so-called friends instigated the dare. ”I don’t think jumping over the old well is safe. What if by accident, she trips, and unfortunately fell into the old well.” One of her friends immediately raised a concern about the dangers for her own safety. However, she was immediately shut down by her other friend. ”Just shut up for a moment, Sara.” The so-called friend shouted at the girl called Sara. She then turns towards her, with a smug look on her face. “What are you? A sissy or not! Now jump, you scaredy-cat!” The so-called friend hurled numerous insult at her.
"Yeah! yeah! I’ll make sure to pay you back the next time!” She said having grown slightly annoyed.
After saying this, she pulled her jeans up and got up on the outer rim of the old stone wall. Not before taking her last breath.
"Well, are you going to do it or what?" Her so-called friend further instigates her to do the dare.

"I’ve had enough! I say I will do it in a minute! So just shut up or else I’m gon. . ." She shouted out in great frustration. As she was shouting to one of her friends, one of the stone bricks beneath her feet then becomes dislodged. It caused the whole old stone well to collapse, bring her down alongside with it. "WHHAAAAAAAA-aaaaaa . . ." She screamed at the top of her lungs as her body tumbles down to the bottom of the well. Her head smashes against a nearby blunt object, causing a major head concussion, but she is still alive. However, the rubbles of the collapse old stone well then fell on top of her, killing her within seconds.
The two friends at the top of the collapsed old stone well, saw it all happen, as she plummeted to the ground. After seeing this, the girls both rush over to the edges of the collapsed stone well, to look for any signs of their friend. With the one called Sara calling out to her. Sara started yelling, "RUBY ARE YOU ALIVE! CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME!" However, Sara heard no response from her. So they both assumed that she was indeed dead. Just before her consciousness then fades into the darkness. Memories start to flash before her eyes, from the earliest moment that she could remember till now. Her whole life flashed before her eyes, as she fell down the well; she realized that everything was fruitless, her life was meaningless and terrible. 'I realized that my life sucks ass; born into a poor family, with no father. Living in a bad neighbourhood, with plentiful of gang violence. And dying young. Even if I made it out alive, I don't have any future prospects because of my bad grades.' She cried helplessly at the thought of being homeless, because of her huge hospital bill and debts. 'At the very least, there is a silver lining to all this. There is no more school!' She exclaimed.

As her body inevitably hits the bottom of the old stone well, her head then hits hard against an old discarded wooden bucket. Left to grow mould and old at the bottom of the unused stone well. Her head hits hard against the wooden bucket, making the broken shards of wood penetrate her skull, and causing some internal bleeding. However, she was still alive. The collapsed rubble of the old stone well then falls on top of her, crushing her instantly with their combined weight. With the very last moments of her life, she then makes a joke to end her own misery.
"It seems that I've kicked the bucket, huh! Goodbye Life, and Hello Death!"

Drip, Drop! x2
The sounds of water droplets enter her ears, as her body lay down against the floor unconscious.
She woke up to find herself in a white room, devoid of anything but a golden pedestal at the center of the room. And on top of the golden pedestal, there is a human shape hand imprint on the surface of it.
When she tried to get up, her body felt extremely heavy, whilst her mind is extremely confused.
"Where is this place?" She asked herself.
She remembered dying and such, but now she is here. Where exactly is here to be exact. Is this the afterlife, heaven, purgatory, or maybe hell.
"Young child, who died before her time. I offer you a second chance of life in another world." A mysterious voice then enters her head.

Data Dragon Danika
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust. But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her? A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.

Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for.
