《KING OF BEASTS (ON HIATUS)》E171 - Omni Nine, roll out!

“Leave it to us bossman, we’ll get you there, ain’t no issue, just leave it to us!”
Ares had been wondering when his side quest was going to end.
He had dove into the lake and had manipulated the water effortlessly in a way to shoot him forward. Yet apparently it had been too slow, or at least that’s what the random shadowy figure beside him had said. He hadn’t even noticed them, but after a moment he realised they had been with him since he dove into the lake.
It was a creature that was shaped like an arrow’s head, though turned to it’s side. Like a manta ray crossed with an arrow. It was large too, and had travelled as quickly as Ares did as he tried to concentrate forward.
“Bossman, ya goin’ too slow,” it said in quite a low and careful way. “Ya won’ makes’t so quick like dat.”
With that a few more creatures from it’s back, shaped like itself but barely larger than Ares’ head, sprouted out and then surrounded him.
“Leave it to us, pops!” One had said before it took a position up ahead and then darted forward. With that, Ares moved several times quicker than he originally had.
“Whoa!” He managed to brace himself as his body was sucked along, but he moved his arms up ahead as though he was diving forward.
Ares wanted to ask just exactly what they were, but he needed every little bit of strength he could muster in order to keep up. He watched as the creature up ahead began to shake after some time before another sped up to it and then the original one up ahead spun, flying upwards and then outside the small water slip stream it had created.

“Good luck bossman!”
Then it was gone. Ares’ eyes went wide, but he couldn’t think about it. Instead each creature followed this pattern until a single remained, and it had begun shaking.
“Don’t worry, bossman. I’ll get you there! You ain’t gotta worry!”
It was shaking wildly and was slowly pulling back, closer and closer to Ares. It was then Ares could see a light in front of him. He reached over and grabbed the creature.
“You’ve done me well, little one,” he said before he pulled it to it’s chest and then when he was at the light, he tossed it aside outside the slipstream in case it couldn’t survive outside in the normal world. “See you around!” He nodded to the creature which had already spun away into the darkness.
Ares would need to ask Levi what those creatures were, for they had done him a great favour in speeding him up. He hadn’t managed to get a good luck at them, next time he’d have to.
Ares shot out of the lake like a rocket and then dropped down about half a mile forward, in the middle of the large pathway that led up to the second level.
The small uniform buildings surrounded his either side, with the Bitan remaining in between the streets that ran between the buildings.
One stepped forward, a guard that had stepped aside to allow Ares to land peacefully.
“What is the matter, Ares’O?” His voice was low and clear, there was no hint of anything other than duty.
“I’m busting out my people.”
“Busting out?” The guard stepped aside as Ares darted passed him.
Ares ran as quickly as he could, leaping over the guards at the top of the steps. “Saykkera! Gather the Nine, we’re leaving!” Ares said as he continued to run, trying to find them.

A shadow loomed ahead of him, and he quickly leapt over it, front flipped until he landed behind the figure.
“Ah, good,” he said as he turned to see Saykkera there, Emerli right behind her as the others that made up the Omni Nine began to gather around.
As they did, several more guards followed their heels.
“What is going on? What is the meaning of this?” Asked an older Bitan, another soldier it seemed. When he saw Ares, he looked surprised. “Where is Stah’O?” He glanced around.
“Stah’O and I seemed to have our differences,” Ares said. “I left him with the rest of the soldiers. The threat of the Reptai has been dealt with for now as well.”
The soldier seemed confused, but he grasped his spear in both hands. “What madness do you speak, Ares’O?”
“Well, it seems as though that Stah’O has betrayed me,” Ares said. “So I’m busting out my people before you can take them prisoner.”
The soldier seemed to understand the situation. “I will not allow you to leave if you are our enemy.” With that the rest of the warriors that had remained began to muster, several already coming to their position.
“Hear me now!” Ares exclaimed. “Though Stah’O has betrayed me, I shall hold no ill-will against you Bitan! Let us leave in peace, or we will fight our way out. There’s no need for any deaths to occur!”
“My brother has left me in charge of the people, I shall not have you leave whilst you are an enemy of the Bitan!” The older Bitan charged at him.
Ares was sure he had never met the Bitan before, though the thought was stopped when he found the Bitan had leapt up to him in a single bound.
Saykkera clashed with the Bitan with her claws, then used her tail to whip him aside. The Bitan took the blow to his arm, though Ares could see the scales had shifted to soften the attack as the Bitan skid to a halt.
“Saykkera’O, we have no ill will against you, but we must take Ares into custody,” the Bitan said.
Ares was rather hurt that the suffix had dropped from his name. It seemed as though this was even more serious than he thought.
“Saykkera, get Emerli to safety,” Ares said. “I’ll provide cover.” Ares raised his hands, yet Saykkera did not move.
She threw a look back to Ares, and then Emerli grabbed onto his arm. Ares looked down at her. He looked slightly puzzled.
“Go,” Emerli whispered as she pulled Ares.
Ares looked back to Saykkera but nodded. “Alright. Omni Nine, roll out!”

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
