The man walked alongside the demon down a dirt road.
"It's getting dark, we should settle down," Gyll said.
"Alright" Mi replied blankly.
After gathering some twigs and dry grass to make the fire, the man pulled out two fruits from his bag, "You want one?" Gyll asked.
Mi looked at Gyll for a few seconds before talking, "I don't need food."
"I mean yeah, I could go a few days without food too, but it's good to enjoy some sweet food now and then!" Gyll said with a grin than tosses the fruit to Mi.
The two ate the bright orange, fruit. It resembled an orange plumb, the size of a large fist, covered in a clear membrane.
"So what are you going to do now?" Mi asked breaking the silence.
Gyll almost choked on his fruit, "What do you mean? I'm meant to spread the knowledge of divine pornos, right?" Gyll replied in a joking manner.
"That's true but, surely you need a home, a people," Mi said.
"Alright then, how about we brainstorm some ideas!" Gyll suggested.
Mi nodded, "How about we open a school!" Suggested Gyll,
"Didn't you have enough people call you a pervert without reading porn out loud to kids?" Asked Mi.
"Yeah...you're right," Gyll said.
"How about we travel the world spreading our knowledge!" Gyll suggested.
"Better, but if you stretch yourself so thin you may miss a lot of people."
Gyll went back to quiet contemplation.
Mi's face lit up, "I have an idea," Mi says suddenly pulling a book out of her sleeve, she flips the book's pages to around the middle. "To influence one's allies, one must show results, to influence enemies one must surpass them." Mi read out loud.

"What does that mean? Am I supposed to go fight a king or something?" Gyll asked,
"I have to burst your bubble, but chances are you'd not make it past the king's jester," Mi replied.
Gyll scoffed, "Than what do you mean?" he asked.
Mi stood up.
"You will build an empire!" Mi proudly announced.
Gyll stared at her with an expression saying "And the punchline is?...."
"You've got to be kidding?" Said Gyll.
"You have everything a leader needs," Mi said to encourage him.
"Like?" asked Gyll.
"The stuff a leader needs," Mi replied.
"For example?" Gyll awaited his answer.
"The needs...a..leader must have," Mi replied.
The people became quiet.
"I guess...I have the knowledge...in the form of p-" Gyll began.
"Ok, that joke got old fast, stop, they're books." Mi interrupted.
Gyll sighed, "My own empire, that sound like a pain, but maybe a small town..." Gyll wandered out loud.
"Well, just think about it, I'm going to sleep," Mi advised.
Gyll replied with a nod, and soon he went to sleep as well.

Slaying Monsters for Dummies
East coast, late 2018. A handful of people with nothing in common find themselves targeted by kidnappers. It sounds like a job for the FBI, except that the criminals are not quite human anymore, and the victims find themselves wielding strange abilities. How exactly are you supposed to explain that to the cops? You don't. You survive, fight and strive, and most importantly you prepare, for magic is coming back and there is a world to save. And a market to corner. Image by Bella Bergolts. https://www.deviantart.com/bellabergolts The story is told from the perspective of the two protagonists. I have finished writing two arcs and will upload them quickly, the upload rate will slow down after that. I welcome corrections and constructive criticism, in particular when it comes to inconsistencies.
8 202The Lay of the Black Doors
Nikha von Kranssov awakens one sunny morning to find that things have gone all wrong: Her maid has been murdered, her father is missing, and her house, Eldergrave Manor, is far larger and less familiar than it should be. She decides to grab her trusty rifle and set out into a home made strange and sinister, determined to find her father and confront whoever is responsible. The Lay of the Black Doors is a horror/adventure story that takes place in a secondary world. It is mainly inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, China Miéville’s Bas-Lag books, M.T. Anderson’s The Game of Sunken Places, and Shea and Wilson’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Be warned that the story involves frightening situations and occasional dark themes, as well as some violence and gore. Weekly updates. No longer on hiatus! The cover image is not mine. It is "The Drawbridge," a 1761 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
8 99Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
