《The Big Bang System》Rest at Last
Advertisement
The final mouse came and, like the one before him fell into the trap. Angela was still not used to the sight of blood but at least now she goes pale instead of gagging. With the adrenalin leaving her system Angela finally realises how tired she actually is as all of her muscles start to ache. Opening up the menu, Angela selects assimilate before dropping to the ground; too tired to even make it to her bed. ignoring the multitude of notifications Angela falls into a deep sleep. The chirping of birds causes Angela and her expression quickly changes to one of bewilderment, she is no longer in the void, instead finding herself in the forest she grew up next to. At first Angela wonders if the void was a dream but, noticing the blood still covering her hands and dress, she realises that was just a misguided hope. Angela picks herself up an starts making her way towards the manor she used to live in. As she nears the manor Angela hears familiar voices, accompanied by sobbing. Entering a clearing Angela sees a group of people she almost recognises surrounding something she can't quite see, grave expressions on their faces. She creeps forward until she can see properly but freezes in place at the scene. Her little sister Charlotte , who was always smiling and asking to be doted on, was collapsed on the floor sobbing and crying. Her big brother Charles is sat beside Charlotte, comforting her with a forlorn expression on his face. What shocked her the most however was the casket in front of them, a casket holding her own body. Angela feels a pain in her chest; her heart beats faster and faster. She wants to rush out and reassure them, tell them "I am here, I am right here" but when she tries no words come out. Angela moves towards the crowd but no one seems to be able to see her. She reaches out to touch someone and her arm passes right through them. Slowly, Angela walks towards her siblings, going faster and faster with every step. Just as she is about to reach out and touch her sister Angela's body stops responding to her thoughts, she wants to move but she just can't. Thunder and lightning materialise out of nowhere and the sky darkens at a speed visible to the eye. Angela starts to panic, she can feel the ominous energy in the air and wills herself to move with every fibre of her being. The people around her - she now recognises them as distant relatives and colleagues of her long dead parents - start to contort. They lose their human figure and instead become massive wolves; grey with long, slobbering tongues and sharp fangs. At this point, Angela's siblings turn their heads to look at her. They opened their mouths in unison "You left us here." they spoke, perfectly in sync with each other. "You could have saved us. But you left, just like mother and father did." A series of emotions show on Angela's face: pain, fear, helplessness. The wolves pounce and Angela is finally able to scream out, though she cannot do anything to change the result; the wolves quickly reach the siblings and tear them to pieces, ripping flesh from bone and skin from flesh. Angela wakes, sweat pouring down her face, screaming in terror for a whole 10 minutes before coming to her senses. She staggers to her feet and wipes her face with the cleanest part of her forearm. Weary despite her sleep Angela prepares herself, she has a reason to struggle now.

8 202Magician's Pact
A young boy with a special key finds himself caught up with an old wizard, an ancient prohpecy, and a possibly conspercy. This sounds like the sort of thing most childern would love to be a part of, but there are just three small problems. The first is that he is not the hero. Someone already got that role. The second is that he isn't a wizard. He is a Magician which complicates things. The third is that there might be a chance that the whole 'problem' might be comming from his end. Personally he never understood (or interacted with) the 'secret' magical world, but that becomes a problem when the magical world apparently has what his role is supposed to be according to their ancient book... and they are not to happy about him not matching their book. Still it shouldn't be to hard right? All he has to do is go to a school, learn some wizard magic, make sure nobody takes his key... also avoid dying. Thankfully he has had a lot of expereince with that last part and a bunch of Twig Twirling childern can't be too dangerious? Right?
8 102HATEFUL SIN
Sin was his name and hate was all he knew. Born under cruel circumstances and treated as if he was the lowest scum to have ever existed, it was impossible for him to know what love was. The only thing that kept him going was the thought, that one day he would be able to return all that he was given, ten fold. ^_^ >. As you can see i suck at writing synopsis, but if you wish feel free to read the first chapter and then you can decide wether you wish to continue reading my first attempt at this genre or you can turn tail and run, whichever you please.
8 75Capital of Greed
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The Cosmic Realm, the Infernal Realm, and the Mortal Realm constitute the world of Avaritia, a prosperous land of might and magic. With Humans, Elves, Dragons, Hobbits, Dwarves, and even Gods inhabiting its lands, it is a world that is as rich in history as it is in strife. For thousands of years, the Three Realms were locked in relentless conflict; the Mortal Realm serving as the battlefield. The three sides secured victories both large and small, but none managed to truly prevail over the others. Unable to watch his children slaughter each other, the God King Raidriar sacrificed his own life and split the Three Realms, stopping the endless wars. However, with his death, he left a prophecy. “On the eve of the Fourth Millennium, when the tears of Ausar finally run dry, the Throne of Fortune will appear.”“And he who ascends the Throne will be named ‘King of the World’.” And now, many years have passed and the fabled time has finally come. The Three Realms have shown signs of reuniting once again and the Gods have begun to place their bets on their chosen champions. Amidst this contest of epic proportions arrives one pesky transmigrator. -------------------------------------------Main Character Introduction: Atlas Constantine, previously John Doe, is the newly transmigrated 13-year old Prince of the recently fallen Constantine Kingdom.
