《Ethereal Creator of Realms》BK 1: Chapter 14 Hollow Victory Part 1
Advertisement
In the center of the northern continent is a massive grassland surrounded by several mountains, cliffs, and rough hills covered in temperate forests.
The surrounding terrain teeming with seemingly countless firstborn dragons, elder dragons, ancient dragons, old dragons, and various dragon species descended from them, even a few dragonkin dwelling among them.
Fucius resting upon the plains of the valley, his massive body larger than most of the mountains combined covering most of the vast open plains, his head resting upon his arms, his eyes still open and relaxed.
Suddenly his eyes become focused as he raises his head and turns his head toward his right, staring off away from origin into the void.
At that same moment the other four guardian dragons patrolling void around Origin, all turn their heads in the same direction as Fucius.
Out in the void surrounding Origin, Ethereal shifts his bottomless eyes of swirling Mystic in that same direction, and turns them back to Origin.
Ethereal, “It seems Orcrox approaches, luckily it should take him a few thousand years.”
………………………………………………………………………………
The Regals’ troops spread out from the forest on the edge of a clearing around a wildes’ village, appearing from behind trees and fanning out towards the wildes’ village.
The screams and cries of wildes echoing throughout the night as the light of flames consume the village.
Many wildes children and women being dragged from their homes and families then tossed into cages as the men fight the regals.
Many of them falling to magics they do not know.
…………………………………………………………….........................…
Stomping up the hallway to the throne room I feel my blood boil with rage.
I growl out, “Damn Reigis, how could he ignore my warnings.”
Finally coming to the massive gold doors to the throne engraved in massive carvings of grapevines, I barge through the doors.

“REIGIS!!! HOW C”
Reigis adorned in gold, blue and white robes his antlers adorned with all manner of jewelry, doesn’t even look at me when he raises his hand, commanding me to stop.
Feeling my blood boil I shift my glare toward the Royal Consort, General Ryatha as she stands in front of the throne to the king's right.
Briefly, turning her head towards me, her pompous face smirks before once again face King Reigis, her adorned yet revealing bronze armor shifting with her red cloak, the blue half circle of antlers on the back.
I look up at the flag above the king's throne with that same sigil representing our nation of unified Regals, how dare their arrogance bring disgrace upon our nation.
They defy Ethereal himself with this.
Reigis, “Go ahead continue as you were saying Reyatha, before we were so rudely interrupted.”
His Majesty's voice drawing back my focus I glare at Reyatha as she starts to speak.
Reyatha, “Heh, yes, of course, your majesty, rudely indeed.
Heh, heh.
As I was saying before the disturbance in his majesty’s presence.
We have effectively seized back fort Reycon from the wildes along with all the surrounding new farmland and wildes villages.
Along with many new, heh, heh, heh, slaves.”
Reigis, “Excellent, excellent, with this we have effectively seized back our fort and established a foothold in the Tri-Word Kingdom.
Not to mention their previous leaders’ actions give us the right to do so, and after their Oracles coo, heh he he he he.
Who is to blame us if we take even more for ourselves, heh he he he he.”
Practically growling I interject, ”Your Majesty if I would, ignoring Ethereal’s messa”
Reigis yells, “Greadon, Know Your Place!!!!!!!!!”
My Place?!
My Place?!
I am an Oracle of Ethereal and He Dare Tell Me to…………

Reigis continues to yell, his echoes interrupting my own thoughts from the sheer noise, “Time and time again I have heard you yapping
Ethereal says this, Ethereal wants that.
Not once have you ever even bent the knee to me.
YOUR KING!!!!!!!”
Feeling the energy of Ethereal’s Judgement coursing through me I turn my head down and see the bluish-green aura seeping off of me.
Deciding to leave before I do something I regret, I suck the aura back into my body with my will and storm out of the throne room.
Walking down the hallway in anger, the words slip out my mouth.
“Me, bend the knee, Hah.”

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.

Planet-Eater Reincarnation (in Star Wars)
He wakes up without being able to see, taste or hear. Or even smell! But, after developing an eye for himself, he's able to recognize two facts: one, he is no longer human, and two, he's not on Earth anymore. He's in the middle of an asteroid field, stuck on a moderately large one with nothing around him but endless space. Heck, he's not even in the solar system! And now it's up to him to grow larger and stronger in order to avoid being eaten. Going by the leviathan-sized creatures swimming about the asteroid field, he has a long way to go before he can so much as try to live calmly. ---- Don't let the fanfiction tag scare you off. This only barely takes place in that universe since I like the basics of the lore and nothing more. It will barely feature a single prominent character, and the focus will mostly just be on the main character trying to grow himself out of danger, in the meantime denying the very idea that he could possibly be lonely. The first few dozen chapters will entirely focus on him growing from almost a gnat all the way to a real asteroid-eater. After that, an actual story will appear. Got the idea when I was reading the 2017 Darth Vader comic and my mind suddenly flashed back to that scene in the original trilogy when they're in some asteroid field and almost get eaten by a big monster. I loved that scene, and my inhibitions will no longer chain me. Enjoy, but don't take this too seriously.
