《Her Revenge》23
Advertisement
Last week, if you would have asked me if I was ready for this fight I would have replied with a no. But if you ask me the same question today, my answer will be yes.
I'm more than ready. I was trained by Lea. She's a very smart and confident as well as strong and beautiful woman. She inspired me in many ways.
She's like the sister I've never had. I had no idea why she was helping me but I was grateful that she did otherwise I doubt that I would even hold that long in this fight.
Brad kept on throwing punches and kicks in my direction. Like Lea told me, I observed him very well. I observed their actions and it seemed like they were going like a certain rhythm.
He would punch with right hands first then punch with his left hands twice. Then he would kick with his left foot twice before with his right foot.
I managed to block several kicks and punches but also failed in blocking some. It was getting harder and harder with every passing second yet I wasn't tired. Brad was sweating which meant that he was tired.
Perfect.
Before I could make a move, I received a kick in the stomach, making me fall on the ground. Brad smirked and walked towards me.
I took him off guard by kicking him in the back of his legs, making him fall on his knees. I then pressed his pressure point and watched as he fell unconscious.
Then I began attacking Brad by kicking him in his abdomen. He groaned in pain just before I threw a hard punch in his jaw. He fell on the ground and I jumped on him, pinning him on the ground with all the force in my body.

He was unable to move. His hands finally tapped the ground three times in defeat. The crowd erupted. Some were shouting, some were clapping but I couldn't care less about them. My eyes fell on Lea who was smiling proudly at me.
She was confident that I would win and here I am...the winner. I smiled gratefully at her before glancing at The Don who only nodded his head.
"The winner is...Ryan Gonzalez!!" Someone shouted, making everyone clap their hands. Then everyone began making their way out except Lea, Don, Blake, Antonio, Dante, Dominic and Arabella.
I got out of the ring and walked towards Lea who smiled before she patted my shoulder, "Congrats."
"Thank you" I replied, "None of this would have been possible without your help so, thank you. I'll be forever grateful."
"Anytime" she replied before walking away. Don and the other ones who were present stared at me in confusion.
"Why were you thanking her?" Dominic asked, confusion written all over his face.
"Oh...she trained me." I replied with a smile, "She trained me everyday since past few days for this day. Without her, I'd have lost today."
Don only nodded and left the gym while the others smiled at me and congratulated me one more time before leaving too.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!
8 167Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.

As she begins to develop feelings for the stern lord, she begins to wonder if she ever wants to leave the dimension. The clock is ticking and there's demon blood to spill. Can she put her personal desires aside and complete her task?
8 233After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
