《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》Investigación del Ritual
Advertisement
Ricardo, Dima and Taras were going to the bow store, according to the captain's request, Dima would go to verify the ritual. Ricardo and Taras had to help him reconstruct the scene as it was originally before they arrived.
"Isn't it a bit late? The new schedules are hellish..." Ricardo complained, his hands were blistered even though he had worn gloves, working as a sailor was much more complicated than he thought.
"There are only 7 of us... If you want to survive in this sea, you have to earn the right with your own effort, the easy days are over, young man" Dima answered, as she took out the master key that would open the bow store.
"It seems that they killed a poor devil here last night, the hallway floor is full of blood... But there is nobody" Dima said with a sad face, looking at the scene in front of him and going to open the door.
"Yes, a pity…" Taras replied regretfully, though his mind was cursing the cheeky grandfather who even wasted his time talking about the murder.
The three entered through the door of the warehouse and when they arrived they noticed that everything was the same, but the drugs had disappeared, Ricardo and Taras planned to use them to guarantee their own survival, either exchanging favors or consuming themselves directly.
Dima approached Paulo's semi-naked corpse and began to undress him to fully see the pattern of the ritual, meanwhile he asked: `It seems that he hanged himself, and they didn't sacrifice him, did you see any farewell note for us? "
"No, I'm afraid he didn't leave anything, we also wanted to know the last words of our friend Paulo" Taras replied, ignoring the fact that he had kicked his corpse last night because of the anger he had.

"He gave up meeting his daughters and didn't explain anything to us, how strange… Paulo wouldn't do that…" Dima murmured, a little worried.
'His obsession was death, or it was impossible for him to satisfy it...' Ricardo thought, looking at the corpse with sorrow.
"His body of his seems to have the language of the primordial era of the first king of the sea and is also dedicated to Poseidon... which is nonsense, the two things are nonsense, you know the wish?" Dima asked, as she turned the corpse over to see Paulo's forehead.
"No... But all the wishes were put in the mouth of the dead" Ricardo answered.
"It could be a way to force the deceased in the spirit world to deliver the message, or it could be a way to curse someone with that message. Putting the message with a dead person is used more in curses than wishes... but Poseidon is Poseidon, there is not a single god as capricious as him" Dima commented to his assistants. This process of deciphering rituals or curses could be complicated.
Dima opened Paulo's mouth, there was also a piece of paper inside, and he opened it. Dima fell to the ground suddenly, her pressure dropped suddenly, and she broke down, she almost fainted, from the ground she shakily muttered: "Impossible..."
Taras nudged Ricardo, as if to say: 'You see I'm not exaggerating'
But Ricardo interpreted it differently and went ahead to help the old man who had become ill, while he asked: "Are you okay, Dima?"
"Yes... Yes, it's quite strange, Poseidon heard it... The language, very strange... Too strange" Dima murmured words disconnected from each other, still somewhat affected.
Noticing the bad old man, Ricardo went to look for some boxes so that he could sit against the wall and breathe a little. Some time passed and Dima gradually calmed down, meanwhile she thought about the possibilities.

"Is it so weird?" Ricardo asked, hoping to get some information on the matter.
"I was a pirate for several years, young man, I traveled many seas, the sirens abhor this language, they hate it, if they discover any rumor of someone speaking this language, even a few measly words of the ancient language, the old sirens will send people to kill him, that's how weird... Not many can survive that, not to say that not even the lupins dare to investigate the language" Dima said, somewhat dismayed by the wish or curse.
"But you would just have to get away from the water..." Ricardo spoke, but before he could finish speaking, Dima interrupted him.

The Last Orellen (An Epic Progression Fantasy)
According to prophecy, the ninth-born child of Lord Orellen will have the sort of power that changes the world. But in a land ruled by mage families, no one welcomes the possibility of a dangerous new player. Fearful even of their allies, the Orellens come up with an extraordinary and deadly scheme to protect themselves. If the most powerful sorcerers in the world wish to kill the ninth-born, they will have to find him or her first. And that's not going to be easy when the Orellens have called upon dark magic to create hundreds of heirs. The boys and girls are given new bodies, new names, and even new magical talents before they are scattered across the continent. Only one among them is the real ninth, but all of them will have to grow up in a world where they are fugitives. Kalen, once fated to die, is now an Orellen heir in hiding. And he is determined to survive, even if he has to master his strange new powers to do it. The Last Orellen is a long, character-focused progression fantasy set in a vast universe about a boy's journey to become a powerful mage. Reviews are deeply appreciated. Please do not repost my work elsewhere without my written permission. What type of reader is this book for? You might enjoy The Last Orellen if you like... Clever and resourceful protagonists. Big fantasy worlds. Multiple cultures, lots of characters, many different types of magic--this story is expansive rather than closely focused on a narrow storyline. Progression fantasy that takes its time. Our main character will be progressing through magical ranks, but this is going to be a lengthy story. If you're more about the journey than the destination, this might be the book for you. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Nameless Hypocrite
"Bastard, surrender yourself!" "You think you can escape our encirclement?!" "An omnicidal fiend like you can only atone in death!" Despite his precarious situation, a young man ignored the union's provocations. His violet robe was in tatters, showing the incredible number of attacks he received, yet there was no sign of injury. Noticing the light smile tugging at his lips, the pursuing heroes warily watched him, cautious of a final attack. It was only by working together that they could corner a monster like him. An arrow pierced the air, beelining towards the young man. A malicious gleam revealed itself in his eyes; he unsheathed his sword, a long, curved blade, and deflected the projectile, spiking it into the ground. The archer's eyes widened before being split in two. He died suddenly and indignantly. The group backed away; their former confidence diminished greatly by the invisible counter. It was then that the young man sighed, his voice full of lament and self-pity. "Being a saint truly is difficult, even the world cannot understand my righteous actions." The expressions of the surrounding heroes turned ugly. Such blatant hypocrisy! Yes, the protagonist is a villain. We don't do morals here. New chaps when I write them

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
