《After Life》Chapter 24.2: The Storm
Advertisement
In what felt like no time at all the Ultra Blood Hunters pierce the front ranks of the NGP. They plow through powerful Ultras in an instant. The mighty Sierra Rose manages to hold her own against Thunder for a little while, but with the arrival of Toxic’s poison sludge, she falls into a weakened state. Unable to defend herself any longer, she finally succumbs to Gemming’s water attacks, effectively drowning her and rendering her unconscious. Within moments many of the humans find the same fate as Sierra. The first gen hunters greedily swoop in collecting the prized bodies dragging them back to the human bunker.
Cain laughs, forcing his storm power harder, “You’re doom is nigh!”
“Not while I still have hope of bringing Dimitri back!” retorts Cole.
Shado materializes up out of a shadow between Cole and Arch. He calls to Arch just before doing a running dive into another shadow, “I hope you know you asked for this!”
Sariph’s arrival was felt by all long before he ever appeared. It was the feeling of sensing an earthquake just before experiencing the waves. The battle pauses with everyone and every thing looking up to the sky. Dark energy fills the air combining into the clouds giving them a dark blue hue. A deafening crack of black lighting strikes the earth leaving a crater. Slowly the demon materializes, rising up out of the shadow of the crater. His eyes are closed, and his arms folded. Large curved horns slowly grow and extend out of his shoulders. His overall size is already substantial allowing him to tower over the battlefield.
Sariph opens his eyes seeing the battle for the first time. He rotates his head back and forth before letting out an unholy cry. It startles everyone causing them to stumble. Black mist oozes out of his mouth collecting on the ground as though it was from a fog machine. The mist spreads outward, refusing to be dispersed by the heavy winds. This new feature gives the battle ground a new meaning of darkness in the already black super storms.

Sariph’s unleashes attacks that are relentless and shockingly fast. His presence on the battlefield is accented during the abundance of flashing lightning. With his ability to teleport through shadows, Sariph is unpredictable, attacking all parts of the battle within seconds. Luckily for the NGP Sariph’s attention is captured mostly by the Blood Hunters since they are of the largest force. In one moment he’s grabbing handfuls of first gen hunters, biting their heads off. Then with the next flash, he’s instantly on the other side of the battle, greedily devouring more. With each head swallowed it appears he’s slurping their soul as a dark blue light is sucked from the body into the demon's mouth.
The Blood Hunters scream as their collective attention turns to Sariph. The first gen hunters swarm in a clockwise motion as the Ultra Blood Hunters make their way to the center, to the demon. They act like wolves nipping at Sariph’s heels attempting to overwhelm him. In response four long tentacles shoot out of Sariph’s waist. Each tentacle is protected by black armored scales with small thorns protruding from them. They snake their way through the mass of bodies coiling around dozens of hunters at a time. The hunters attempt to escape by slashing with their sharp claws but they soon find they are unbreakable. Once ensnared, struggling only causes the thorns to pierce deeper, increasing the grip.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
