《Dark Cat under Light cover》Book 1 - Chapter 8
Advertisement
Tilting her head, Amadeus saw a small black squirrel talking nonstop.
«So that's how the [Animal Language] skill works.» thought Amadeus.
She didn't hurry to answer the squirrel yet, instead...
«Little pervert, right now, you're sitting on a naked girl's chest. You're going to get...» Amadeus turned away and playfully placed her hand over her mouth.
«No... I... I'm not a pervert. I was just glad to... No... No, I'm not glad at all, not even a little bit glad! Okay?!» the squirrel jumped off the girl's chest, continuing to make excuses.
If she were human, she would definitely look red like a tomato.
«Be quiet, little one,» Amadeus said and walked over to the prize chest.
«As I remember, these chests usually contain equipment. I hope so because it would be uncomfortable without clothes,» Amadeus thought as she opened the chest, «Phew... Well, at least I won't be without clothes.»
In the chest was a white, sleeveless, thigh-length shirt. It had clouds embroidered on it with silver thread. There was also a pair of black boots with a low heel, and... Shorts?
«This is the Other World. Why are there shorts here?» she thought.
Under all these clothes was a white mask without a slit for eyes.
«If the mask has no eye slits, why does it even need one?» thought Amadeus.
It was illogical. Remembering that Amadeus was, in fact, from the Other World, which sounded more illogical, she decided to put the mask on. But...
«Are you actually listening to me?! Well, no respect for me! What does that even mean?» the squirrel began to wail.
Amadeus turned and looked intently at the squirrel. The squirrel flinched slightly and asked in a trembling voice, «Why are you looking at me like that, human?»

«First of all, I'm not a human. Second, you're too noisy,» she replied, putting on her clothes.
«No, you are definitely... Wait... YOU WHAT, UNDERSTAND ME?» shouted the squirrel.
With shock in her voice, she continued, «Humans can't talk with animals... Then it turns out... You're an animal?!»
«I've already answered that question. I'm not human and never have been one,» said Amadeus.
It was true. Even in a past life, she was not a human. To be more accurate, Amadeus was a half-breed. Half-human, half-demon. Neither humans nor demons accepted her...
«Tch... Why am I even remembering this?» she thought.
Just remembering it made her angry.
«You look like a human, so you're human!!!» said the squirrel.
«You look like a squirrel, but you behave like a child,» answered Amadeus.
«What squirrel?! I'm Sincis, by the way!!!» said the squirrel smugly and lifted her furry face.
«So your name is Sincis?» asked Amadeus.
«Ha... Are you stupid? By the way, Sincis is the name of my race! Eat that, human?! Are you happy to have such a rare companion?!» it said.
Wagging her tail, Sincis looked like a child bragging about her grades.
«Do you have a name?» asked Amadeus.
Honestly, she liked Sincis's behavior.
«A name is something that gives us, our companions,» said Sincis and looked at her with a waiting expression.
«You want me to give you a name?» asked Amadeus, but it was clear from the squirrel's look.
«Ha! I don't need a name... But just for the record, I don't mind if you give me one.» said Sincis, wagging her tail.
Before making up a name, a brilliant idea occurred to Amadeus, and she immediately voiced it, «Are you even a boy or a girl?»

Squirrel fainted. A few seconds later, it jumped up, turned its ass to Amadeus, and lifted her tail.
«Look at this. What kind of stupid question is that?» yelled the squirrel.
«And what I'm supposed to find here?» asked Amadeus, crouching and made a smart face.
In fact, Amadeus had realized a long time ago that the squirrel was a girl but decided to play a joke on her.
«That's right! There's nothing there!» the squirrel continued to yell, «No nuts! And that means I...»
«Yep. That's right.» Amadeus interrupted, «And where do you get your nuts? Do you eat your own?»
«Wha-a-a-t?» the squirrel yelled even louder, «That's... I had them with me! In my mouth!»
«Yeah, okay, okay. Calm down.» said Amadeus, «I already know you're a girl. Just stop twisting your shame right in front of my face.»
Amadeus began to giggle softly.
Squirrel put her tail down quickly, turned around, got into a meerkat stance, and froze. Her eyes went blank, and she seemed to pass out. Amadeus waited a few seconds and decided to take care of her business.
She put on her mask, and a message appeared in front of her eyes.
«DING!!!»

[Ghost Cloak] - you will not be noticed or remembered unless you do something provocative.
«Not bad,» Amadeus said, « Again, something's obviously wrong with the descriptions.»
«Maybe it's a problem not with the text, but its interpretation of the translation in my mind?» she thought, «Yeah. That would make sense. I'm not, like, from around here.»
«Well, or a crooked description,» Amadeus said, smirking, «Hackneyed.»

Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)

Virtual reality: Chaos theory
Rak Devion is a Scion of the Devion family. Scion in this case meaning a descendant of a rich family. Rak like every other human is thrown into the virtual reality named after its creator, Chaos theory. This reality is the artful design, some would say machiniation, of the General Artificial Intelligence Chaos theory. Chaos theory has a singular purpose that has manifested itself in such a way that the world falls into its control but the apocalyptic end never comes and instead a rather dystopian world emerges, one in the form of a virtual reality and the other the changing reality everyone lives in. The story revolves around the experiences of Rak Devion, one of Devion’s family children. He enjoys creating business opportunities and follows the family motto to charge a head and forge new paths.
