《Brigante Ark - New Chaos》Prologue Beyond the glade
Advertisement
The sunrise started at five o’clock early in the morning. The grace of the sun showered its light in the wilderness. A soft huffed of a woman, crouching down to her knees, panting, and catching her breath as she bared her ankles could be heard in a dim shadow of a tree.
She sweated and it started to draw down to her eyes. She drew out a cloth and wiped her forehead. Trekking the upward slope path caused her to trudge. She drew her portable water container on her backpack; she drank and cautiously glanced around her before she raised her bronze eyes. She tightened her ponytail hair. She pulled herself up after resting for a while.
Her short brown pants are a bit uncomfortable as she is stiffened by a passing breeze and yet she insisted on wearing them to be cooled down from the tiring trekking. She unzips her maroon vest, refreshing the hotness that is pouring inside, revealing the plumpness under the white shirt.
Her eyes gleamed with determination and glanced cautiously at the sloping road, she rushed up to the path and came across the glade of the forest. Once again, her eyes scanned at the entirety of the scarlet scattered lights phasing through the clustered nimble of clouds to the swaying trees as she gripped the leash of her bag.
A breeze blew a strand of her hair. Walking under the sunlight, the sound of whispering trees was overlapped by the rhythmic sounds of the insects. She walked, almost running, but in a certain distance that is behind the woods, she stopped, her eyelids widened and fixated, seeing a glimpse of the location. She gasped, thrilled as she waived the strands of tall grasses.
Her heart pounded as she witnessed below her position the breathtaking scenery of the flower field. The early bloomers' chrysanthemums showed off their buds as it softly swayed as a cold wind came passing by - giving a clue that autumn is coming to end, waiting for the winter.

She gaped out of amazement, her eyes widened; gripping the composure as excitement accelerated, stimulating her childish side. She smiled as she turned on the camera and focused the lens on the flower field, red, purple, violet, different kinds rose their petals, fluttered.
As soon as she was ready, she began to capture the images. She altered her gaze back to the flower field as she saw the shadow on one of her captures. She has not seen it because of excitement and now, she raised her brow, confused about his presence, knowing that she was the only one who was supposed to know about this place.
Staring at his gloomy appearance coinciding with the attribute he wore, clad of a dark jacket, black combatant, and military boots gave an impression of being a daunting man, yet, he seemed to be at peace, relaxed under the ensued silence with the chrysanthemums.
Nonetheless, she neglected the nonsensical thinking of apparition and ran quickly to his place. Her slender legs exerted more strength as she made her way to the collapsing man. She kneeled and caressed his head, rested into her lap. He looks so pale, no wonder why he collapses, and his lips are verging to grey.
“Hello? Hey, are you alright?” She asked with concern. Her worried gentle voice reached the clinging consciousness of the young man. She pinched him to wake him up. She was taken back, alarmed when he slowly opened his eyelids.
“Did you get lost?” His eyes fixated on the blurry face of the woman, the orange light makes it clearer in a second, but his pupils are straining to focus as the light distressed, narrowing his eyes.
“What happened?”
The man slowly opens his mouth, muttering.

Tales of Demons and Dragons - An Original Xianxia GameLit
One or more chapters per day Directly Inspired by Tales of Demons and Gods, with an Italian (European) spin and magic on top of cultivation. Mix of light comedy and very dark parts. Darker chapters are marked with a disclaimer. Synopsis: Jacob reincarnates in his 15 years old body. It's just a few minutes before the Change that brought Demonic Beasts swarming all over Earth. In a matter of hours, all the big Capital Cities are razed to the ground. Dragons invaded Rome; Hydras assaulted Venice. Even nastier monsters lurk in the dark. Sadly, his talent is abysmal, and virtually everyone is stronger than him. And he knows that Demonic Beasts are not his only concern, for humans can be far more malevolent at times. St. Peter, Jacob's small mountain hometown in Abruzzo, houses only a few hundred. And since bigger monsters appear in more populated cities, they are relatively safe, or so he thought. But, he soon realizes that even if he went back in time, not everything is the same. And one thing is for sure: he is not the same. His soulmate is now in front of him once again, but things are different. Maybe too different. Follow Jacob in his struggles to protect everyone, change his talent, acquire strength, confront lost loves, and maybe meet new ones. This reincarnation story shows that people who can go back to their past may not be as successful as they thought. I will write no harem in this story. The protagonist may be involved with more than one girl, but not every female will fall at his feet. Swearing will be censored whenever possible since some people do not like explicit forms. However, the censoring will be minimal, like "Fuc**ng." [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed.

After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet.

The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.
