《Shadow of Steel》Spiderzilla - Part 2
Advertisement
My new senses told me Spiderzilla was somewhat amused. My jaw dropped in surprise. How did I know that? Had the spider put this feeling in my head somehow?
“How fun,” the spider spoke in my head, raspy and low.
I shrieked. Covering my ears, I shook my head in disbelief. It’s talking! I shook my head again. There’s no way. That spit was a hallucinogen. That’s right, I’m hallucinating. I’ve gone crazy. Is this my new coping mechanism for my arachnophobia?
“A new human. I am really getting lucky with my surprise visitors.” The spider’s female voice resounded, this time as a whisper in my ear, making my hair stand on end.
Shocked, I held still. I kept staring at the spider’s face.
What was I expecting? A nice friendly smile? I regarded the now tapping spider’s legs. Was I expecting a nice spider leg wave? Wouldn't that be creepier? Was that tapping in impatience?
I could be hallucinating or it, I mean she, was telepathic. Gathering remnants of my courage, I whispered between shallow gasps of breath, "Whadja mean, new human?” My accent slipped out. “What did you do to me?”
The spider replied, “Who do you think put me here? Gap-Tooth and Blood Lips.”
If spiders could roll their eyes, this would be the time.
“You’re purple, and you’ve never experienced anything out of the ordinary like a mind link?”
Purple? My face might be blue, I feel so sick.
The kicks at the door stopped. Immediately after, two guards rammed against the door and I almost toppled over.
“Blood Lips?” As soon as the words escaped me, I had a flash of an image of bright red lips on a blonde girl with black roots showing. “Gemma… uh course.” I shifted uncomfortably. “Of course,” I corrected.

I wondered how she had red lips the whole time we stayed here. There was one morning she was without the bright red lipstick, and I for sure saw her leave Tracy’s cabin with red lips just before lunch. She was also almost a year older than me, so she should have been taken by the soldiers too.
“They said I couldn’t go suck on just anyone.” Spiderzilla bared her fangs and injected some venom into the silk-wrapped moth. The mummified insect spasmed.
I shrieked again as I felt a jolt of sympathy pain. That poor Mothra.
“Mmmmm….” Her mandible-like jaws with sharp edges poked and sawed at the hole. The spider vomited into the opening.
Cupping my hand over my mouth, I dry heaved against my clenched teeth. Who knew vomiting was contagious? I watched her slurp on her own vomit Mothra soup, uncomfortably tucking in my legs, making myself small. Someone get me out of here!
“Pardon my manners, but I haven’t had a decent meal since I got here.”
If I had a meal, I would’ve lost it long ago.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
