EPISODE 2
CHAPTER 9 : RUN TILL THE END (4)
MONSTERS - super natural beasts which normally come from another world. They have a tendency to attack other species without ant reason.
"What is a 'One eyed Orc' doing here?!!" Mitra shouted in surprise.
"What?!" everyone including me asked Mitra in surprise. I think Mira has skill able to see long distances.
"I can see a One eyed Orc coming towards us!! Everyone please don't make any sound and hold your breath as long as you can. It is not an opponent that we in this state can fight." Mitra said to all of us. I noticed that his hands were trembling in fear.
'ONE EYED ORC' as far as I know it is one of the strongest Orc species and it is also top 100 most powerful monster. It also has a very nice hearing ability which helps it during hunting.
Dum..dum...dum slowly the sound became louder and nearer to us.
Everyone was shivering in fear. They all covered their mouths and noses with their hands and stood still. I mean we cannot even move in fear.
Damn what should I do in this situation???!! we all are in danger. This is the most dangerous situation I am in, in my whole life.
Suddenly the sound became more loud and it was as if there were many monsters coming towards us. I slowly move up to see the situation "???!!!!". Seeing me terrified everyone moved slowly to see what I saw.
"What the hell?!! Why are there so many Orcs?? You said you just saw one Orc!!" Krithi whispered and shouted at the same time at Mitra.
"I don't know!! At that time I only saw one orc." Mitra said to us worriedly.
Damn!! I forgot the most important point about the Orcs 'They always hunt in groups'. Damn damn damn what should we do?!!
SSSSSHHH "!!!??" suddenly the rock which was hiding us moved. Then it was lifted up by the Orcs!! Everyone was terrified. I cannot even think of any thing. My legs... no my whole body is trembling.
"Everyone don't worry, even if I have to give away my life, I will save you guys." telling that Mitra moved forward holding his huge sword.

"Hehehe, so are you leaving me behind? I thought we became friends. Friends fight together you see." I stepped beside Mitra taking out my sword and smiled at him.
"HEHEHEHEHAHAHA" !!?? We suddenly heard the voice of someone. It doesn't sound like a human voice. "YOU HUMANS ARE AS ARROGANT AS ALWAYS.EVERYONE BRINGE THE HUMANS TO ME." hearing him the Orcs started towards us. Whose voice was that?? Why is he calling us? What does he want from us? More importantly, why are the Orcs following his orders!!??
The Orcs moved toward us. "Everyone take out your weapons and get ready for fight!!" Mitra shouted.
Instead of fighting a huge Orc grabbed me in his hand. Orcs are too powerful!!! He grabbed me so hard that I could not move a single finger. "AAAKKK!! Don't come near me!!!" Everyone was shouting in terror as the Orcs came near them.
Grabbing all of us the Orcs started moving. There were nearly twenty orcs surrounding us.
Now that I see an Orc closely, They are muscular with incredible strength with green skin. There teeth were too big but if they didn't have one eye I would think of them as Hulk but their faces are too ugly.
"!!" suddenly there was fire lit on both sides of the tunnel. Was that magic?? What the hell is the thing inside???
Slowly the Orcs brought us near a big.... no super huge door. 'Hehehe a door inside a [DOOR]' my mind slowly started joking in this tensed situation.
SUSHHHH The Orcs pushed the huge door slowly. Ooooo their muscles are..... I need some muscles like them!! No no no focus Rishi now we are gonna die!!!!
"SO YOU ARE HERE HUMANS." I heard the same voice that commanded the Orcs.
"What is a 'Magical Orc boss' doing here??!!" Mitra shouted in terror.
I am too tired to be surprised now. Everything that happened till now was all surprises anyway.
So the so called 'Magical Orc boss' was sitting on a huge throne playing with a fire ball as if it was a normal cricket ball.
"HUHH I WAS BORED TILL NOW NOW THAT THE HUMANS ARE HERE I CAN KILL SOME TIME BY KILLING THEM." the Orc boss said looking at us.
Everyone was totally terrified they could not even scream.

"ALRIGHT HUMANS I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR SELF." the boss Orc said with a smile on his face. Could every monster talk like this??
Hearing that we all looked at our faces. What?!! Why would he give us a chance to live??
"ONE OF THE HUMANS SHOULD FIGHT WITH ONE OF MY COMRADES IF YOU WIN YOU ALL CAN GO HOME BUT IF YOU DIE YOU ALL WILL DIE!!" the Orc boss said to us.
Damn now we are definitely dead!!! Only one 'One eyed Orc' can kill all of us and one vs one with it will be a disaster.
As the Boss monster signed with his hand the One eyed Orc left us on the ground. We all gathered at one place. Everyone was trembling in fear. "We are dead for sure." they started saying in fear.
"I will fight the Orc. If something happens to me you all escape from here." Mitra said keeping his hand on his sword. He was also as scared as us but he wanted to save all of us.
Everyone looked like they didn't like that idea but they couldn't say anything as their lives were on the line and he was the strongest of all of us.
But safety comes first for everyone. I should try to help everyone at any cost for their safety. I stepped beside him "No I will fight the Orc. Even if i am weak I have the confidence that I can put up fight for some time. If you get a chance run away from this place immediately. As Mitra would be with all of you, he can protect you if you all can get away from this place. The rescue team from IAA can come here by that time."
Everyone looked satisfied with my plan. Mitra kept his hand on my shoulder and and signed me don't go by shaking his head side ways but I smiled at him and stepped forward.
"SO IT IS DECIDED THEN HUMANS. AS ALWAYS YOU SENT ONE OF YOUR WEAKEST MEMBER EVEN IF YOUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE." the Boss Orc laughed at us. Then he signed with his hand to another Orc.
A huge Orc jumped into the field "ROAR!!!!" his roar almost made me deaf!! Then how powerful could he be??!!
I looked in the direction of my comrades and smiled at him. Even if I die I can at least help my comrades. I can die without any regrets. Thinking that I took out my sword and lifted it up.
It may not be too much but I learned to ow to wield a sword from Happi. The Orc started running towards me so I started running towards it.
I swinged my sword as I thought it was in my attack range "!!!???" "AAAAKKKK!!!" the Orc punched me on my stomach with his huge arm.
I was punched so hard that I was blown into the air bleeding blood from my mouth and nose.
Damn that hurts!! It hurts like hell!! I was sticking to the ground for just one punch??!!
No it's only been a moment that the fight started I have to get some time.
Holding my sword as strong as I could, I stood up with all my power gathered in my legs. Hehehe me being dead for just one punch?? That is impossible. I will fight till the end.
I slowly lifted my sword rubbing my nose with my hand. "So that's all you got?" the asked the huge One eyed Orc. He started running towards me again. The thing is I fell down quite far away from him.
So its time to use the real power of my weapon. Suddenly I realized that I was smiling. Why am I smiling? I clearly know that my enemy is super powerful that me.
[YOU HAVE USED THE SKILL ELECTRIC TOUCH] "!!??" suddenly the system popped in front of me.
So the system sows like this too huh. This was the skill I gained because I awakened [ELECTRIC TOUCH] an basic skill that every electric Arcaner has. I know that if I use this skill on a huge Orc he can resist it so I used it on what I had in my hands.
The truth is my weapon is made for this skill as my magic power is very low.
"!!!??" as expected everyone was surprised as my sword slowly turned into a light yellow colour and slowly heated.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
