《Try Me!》Chapter 1: Consciousness
Advertisement
Sudden clarity like awakening from a sedative induced sleep. How do I what that is. Doesn't matter first of all I need to know who and where I am. I thought I didn't open my eyes apparently, I did, it's just too dark to see. But it seems my eyes are adapting to darkness.
I see silhouettes of waving leaves and hear a whistling wind. It seems I'm in a forest. Again, how do I know that. And I'm most surprised by the fact how I couldn't care less about that. Huh strange. Well whatever first let's try assessing the surroundings. Huh apparently it is harder to stand up than I thought. Heh no wonder it will be hard to stand up on those stumpy legs.
Why does...…
Awooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit that almost scared the crap out of me, literally. Whew that was close. Anyway, what was that, sounds like wolf's howl but deeper. Again, how do I know that. Forget that first need to hide before I become a wolfs stool. Now where to hide. I try looking around my surroundings and see a giant tree with what seems to be a space beneath it. I try to walk to it.
Apparently, it is even harder to walk with these stumpy legs than to stand up. After taking a dozen of very careful steps I manage to reach the space and try to peek into it no surprise can't see a thing.
But at least it seems to be empty. While I was thinking, howling sound gets close at one point then gets far don't know if it’s getting near or far. So, doesn't have a much of a choice.
Tries to step into the space stumbles and rolls down into the space hits my head and goodnight.
And hello wait why does it seems like I'm somewhere else? First of all, it's bright and I seem to be in a giant palace lobby and there is podium with an interface on it in the middle and ten doors with a question mark on it leading to who knows where and stairs leading to second floor.

But there is only one door with what seems to be nut on it on second floor.
And again, it seems to me it's so called mind palace. Still strange that I know that.
Well never mind that, first let’s take a look at the doors. And with that thought I'm in front of the first door from the left. It seems I don't possess a physical body. Simple wooden door with a grey question mark on it. Let’s try opening it. Locked well that was disappointing. Let’s try other doors all locked. Shit. Now last one on second floor.
Let’s see this one seems different from other doors feels metallic and it wasn't a nut, it was a brain on it. Don't know why but I feel strangely familiar with this door. Okay here goes nothing.
Click.
Finally, at least one is open. Let’s see, bright room full of books. Still feels familiar, strange.
Blip, Blip, Blip.
Interface on the podium seems to be blinking. Huh curious let’s take look first. I close the door and will myself to the first floor front of the podium.
Now let’s take a look.

The Inevitable Demise.
He walked on a path that was certain to lead him to death, and yet, he didn't stop. His blade dripping with the blood of people whom he once loved, he refused to pinch his nose even when surrounded by the foul stench of blood and iron. Bodies of the people whom he once called 'friends' were thrown out onto the road to rot. And yet, he didn't stop, he just gripped the hilt of his sword tighter and convinced his trembling legs to carry him to his death. Muranaka Aki, an average and broken seventeen-year-old boy. He lived on the edge of despair, surrounded by all the happiness one could ever imagine. His class, with Akl in it, vanishes from the face of the world that they once called their own, only to be thrown in the middle of the chaos of a world unknown.
8 81(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

8 173The Grand Experiment's Dick
A comedy/action story with NOT AN ANGSTY FUCK as the MC. Schemes, backstabs, and dirty tactics are to be expected. The game system is very gamey with stats and etc. actually mattering for something. It might be good, it might not be. Whatever.———— [ Please act like a man and face them. Running away is such a cowardly tactic. ] “Hahaha! If running away is cowardly, I don't want to be brave! Only the last man standing has a right to laugh at the losers. I will do anything to be that last man! [ You can be the last man by fighting. Are you not embarrassed at leaving your team behind? ] “If a man is fears embarrassment, and therefore doesn't run, then I must be the bravest man on earth! No one runs away faster and more efficiently than I do!” [ …You really are a wretched individual. ] “A thick-face and a scheming heart is better than any blade. Why fight yourself when you can trick the two people who want to kill you into fighting each other? It’s all fair play in my opinion!” [ I have no words. ] Hahahahaha! Why fight when you can run? Why do anything yourself? And only move when you're hundred percent sure its a win. A snake’s fangs are its best asset. And a Komodo dragon needs only to wait for its prey to die. Minimum danger, maximum rewards! That is I, Dick's, philosophy in life! ———— Cover is Toadally Awesome
8 95The Courts Divided
The old guard is now threatened by older evils. Without their legendary king to guide them, an ancient way of life and honor is put to the test. What starts with a string of unexplained murders in the fairy lands, steadily develops into the greatest crisis Western Civilization has ever encountered. Not the dragons and their ilk, not The Trenchlings that gnash in their holes, not even the great empire of Ulteria that holds the power of gunpowder and electricity. This is the oldest, most consolidated structure of evil the omniverse has ever known. Hiding between silent nightmares and the deepest crevices of the human psyche, necromancers, vampires, demons, and all manners of undead hold covenent with this one, ultimate predator upon humanity's hope: The Night God. The West is strong, held up by the remaining bastion of their immaculately-powerful witch knights, but when their sworn nemisis and a beloved traitor are the ones that uncover the great masquerade, will they trust them, or will they doom the planet by holding fast to what they know? Magical power beyond all comprehension is what they're up against, that is of no doubt. The question of the hour is this: can old knights of a dead kingdom stand up once more to put the dark back in its place? The Courts Divided is a massive fantasy project containing humor, horror, and some of the strangest forms of magic known to man or arcanite alike. Daily updates until June. Cover by Shiroasa.
8 160Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week
