《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》El Tritón
Advertisement
Lucas swam away from the deck for fear of being trapped and stayed floating, watching the ship sink, not really understanding what had happened...
The ship went on and on sinking to infinity and beyond; while Lucas looked at the faces of the drowned without understanding what had happened, if he understood that the ship was leaving for the spiritual world and that Poseidon had just saved his life, what he did not understand was the moment, why right now?
In the middle of the party to thank them for the good trip, when they were about to reach land, Tusha decided to sink the ship and send it to the bottom of the sea, destroying the hopes of all the survivors...
'Now the old man seems more friendly...' Lucas thought remembering the voice that saved his life, it wasn't the first time he heard it and it probably wouldn't be the last.
'Perhaps he would never help me in life, but for one of his sons to sell his soul to another god, it probably affected his pride' Lucas reflected, his real father told him that Poseidon would always take care of the children of the sea, so he was not surprised.
'Those tricks in the end were bait for fish, Taras would say…' Lucas said with some irony and pain, looking at the already distant sinking corpses. Lucas couldn't cry being under the water because his eyes were no longer human, now his eyes had no pupils and were completely white-posed.
Lucas began to swim towards the island, he didn't want to be near the ship any longer.
'How long can a few days on the boat be for me swimming... 2 more weeks?" Lucas said with a sad smile; imaginary because his face had no mouth, no nose, no ears, only eyes in a gray oval face .

His thorax was similar to that of a man, but without distinctive features such as pectorals and abs. His body had the same gray pattern as his face and got a bit bigger as he swam until he was the size of a shark, his body size would be 2-3 times smaller than mermaids.
Lucas's hand now had some sort of web between the fingers, but he had no fingers, just three claws in place like mermaids. And instead of legs he had 4 tentacles connected with membranes, also like the mermaids, but not like the ones he encountered on this trip.
The only difference between newts and mermaids in sight was their size, several distinctive depended on the gene that touched them, for example, tentacles and no tail.
Another example is that Lucas was born with eyes on his face and nothing else. The sirens that attacked them were born with only mouths, marking a difference of castes and unique abilities.
Lucas could transform and was born with that innate ability, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat and would die. Like all newts, Lucas never managed to develop his abilities, so he could only transform into the first creature that his mother put him to eat in front of him, that is, humans, but he could only transform into that human he ate on that occasion and no other. In any case, it was only a shell, the human to which he was transformed did not need to drink or breathe, he only pretended not to be discovered and because of the discomfort caused by not doing so, in short, he insisted on his transformation.
Lucas tried to swim at a good pace with one hand and his tentacles, but it was somewhat complicated for him, he hadn't swum in a long time or left the human mode.

When Lucas was a boy, his mother told him never to swim, he had to ask other mermaids to do it for him and if they found out he was swimming, his mother would be punished. For that reason, Lucas never learned to swim well with his body, as he used to do to all the newts until they were thrown out of the house and had to do it to survive.
For this reason, Lucas was very, very slow swimming and he did not have many other options than to gradually adapt to the environment. He knew that the sea was not safe, so he tried to hurry up and look for the surface where fewer fish swim.
Fortunately, there were practically no fish swimming near the sinking ship, as if they were afraid of being caught by the goddess, so he was able to slowly swim to the surface with no problem.
'Twice I was shipwrecked... I must bring bad luck where I'm going, otherwise I don't understand what's happening' Lucas kept complaining, as he skimmed the surface, there was no need to get out either, swimming at this height would be fine or so he thought .
Lucas looked at the stars in the sky and swam in one direction, he was lucky to be careful because he had stolen the captain's maps, or rather the Seal did it and he remembered the route to Los Alamos.
It will probably take Lucas a long time to get to Los Alamos, but the vicinity of an island inhabited by humans is generally a safe zone, so he should make it there, starving from not being able to catch any fish, but get there alive at least. .
So with the speed of a turtle swimming in the water, Lucas headed for his final destination as a messenger.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

Someday someone will find this and I hope they will read every chapter.I am still overly embarrassed to write such little poems, imagine my family finds out. ,:O__________________________________________Well I don't know if that's poetry but still, for me it is. I try to write my feelings down and I provide little prompts that all occurred on real experiences or real situations. (mostly)__________________________________________I pretty much have many random thoughts I do not wanna talk about or keep to myself.Most of the chapters are issues that don't have a connection to me though.__________________________________________>>>I do not know if the poems need trigger warnings but if they do I definitely will put them in before the chapter starts.__________________________________________Oh, and I also drew the cover at 3 in the morning with 4 years old chalk. :DWell I did not plan to actually start a wattpad story or whatever you could call it but the cover somewhat matches.Let's not talk about the bad quality though. :D__________________________________________ The 07.09.2022
