《Ethereal Creator of Realms》BK 1: Chapter 25 A Wasted Effort
Advertisement
More and more wolf-like rats enter the clearing adding to the current beasts numbers.
Staring me down as they slowly approached baring their four large canines and only teeth.
Jay, "Weird ass rats, you don't even have regular rodent teeth, shit."
Suddenly they all rushed me at once.
Realizing a knife might not be the best option for killing hundreds of these animals, I throw away my knife and go bare-knuckle, raising my fists.
The first one to reach me seconds apart from the rest goes for my throat, I punch it in its skull, feeling a wet crunch.
The next one quickly coming at me within seconds, I block with my left arm, then swing that same arm obliterating the side of its head.
Five come at me at once and time seems to slow down, as I punch the each with both hands in quick succession.
Their bodies blow away only for more beasts to run over them while they charge towards me.
One coming at my back at the same time, going for my throat mid-leap, I push it down by its shoulder to the ground.
I press down harder destroying its chest cavity and creating a small crater, a small cloud of dirt rising.
I rush out, into the massive horde, and begin to utterly massacre these creatures.
After a few hours and countless more of these strange creatures slain, the sun stream starts too light up the sky.
Dawn shines down at me as I stand on top of a hill of these creatures’ corpses.
My body covered in blood, I stare down the few that still linger on the clearings inner edge.
Slowly as if thinking, the rest all back away into the forest, before breaking into a sprint, and running away.
Looking up at the sky my arms spread out I cry out.

My scream filled with distress, quickly turns into sobs.
That was so scary.
I knew it, I knew they couldn’t hurt me, but it was still so scary, I tore through them again and again, killing them each easily, over then over again, but they just kept coming.
They just kept coming.
First blood got in my eyes, then my mouth, I ended up swallowing the disgusting pulp, as I fought almost blind.
I killed so many I lost track, I slaughtered hundreds if not thousands, but they just kept coming.
It was almost as if they were endless, as if they would never stop coming, as if it would never stop, they would never stop.
Letting out a few more sobs, I look at the sky having fallen to my knees and let out a sigh.
Jay, “I’m hungry.”
Getting up I trudge down the hill of corpses to where my former bonfire was.
Looking down the barely exposed coals now gone cold, and logs having long died out.
Blood and guts of the many corpses soaking it, the meat I was cooking now tainted, I let out a labored sigh.
Jay, “Goddamit!!!
Fuck!!!!
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!
God Fucking DAMIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!!!
After all that work I did, it’s ruined by these fucking rats!!
GODDDAAAAAAMMMIIIIITTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus Christ…….
Huahhh, I have to get out of here the smell of all this will likely attract more predators and a number of scavengers.”
Looking through the corpses I manage somehow to find my knife and the remains of that red bull’s horns.
I set off into the forest, emotionally exhausted, covered in blood, naked, and hungry.

First Contact
Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against an hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself. "The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief. Told largely from the viewpoint of other species, the story is currently ongoing. It involves graphic depictions of violence, war, adult language and situations, drug use, and other mature topics. The story will be updated on weekdays, so keep an eye on this page for more chapters. The story is 400+ chapters, and repeating characters do not start appearing until the Vuxten chapters. If you're in a hurry for repeating characters then this story will not be enjoyable to you. The interwoven plot is not based on a single person but the entire war, with its effects upon multiple people. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Can they fight back against wizards, monsters, and robots in a world where none of the old rules seem to apply, and their only ally is a mysterious heads-up display that reads like a particularly uninterested narrator?

By the time he can walk and talk, humanity has already fought back the worst of its demons and settled into its new status quo. What's an easily bored kid supposed to do in the Midwest when there's all this magic and nothing to do with it?

Flara is a spirit fox that comes from the world of Love and Nurture. She thought of her world. It's all she ever known and it's the greatest truth she's ever known. All the foxes and other creatures there are patient, kind, gentle, and honor each other with the greatest respect. All opinions and feelings are valid here. It feels perfect, it feels right. But something has always troubled Flara. If love and positivity exist, then surely their opposites must exist as well. There is talk about balance here and that you can have one thing without the other, but she always kept these feelings to herself because of their deviant nature. She always wondered how she could know full love and nurture if she never experienced what was not? How could she fully enjoy it and understand if she never knew why they were important? She has kept these feelings deep inside and now it's eating her up. She meets another spirit fox named Tarot from the world of Devastation and Sorrow. Together, they go on a journey to find balance between the worlds and set new rules for them before they merge into one.
