Chapter 2
Waking up while everything around you is burning, can be quite an experience. Have you ever read those news about exploding Samsung phones? It's true! Accidentally tried and tested! It's melting my face right now!
'Can I have it semi-rare, please?' I sarcastically thought while feeling the scorching pain all over my, still being, barbecued body
And it's 9 levels of hell painful!
"GYAHHHHHHHH!!!!! SHIT!! MOMMY!!!!!"
Is what I wanted to shout but instead, only for a hoarse, unidentifiable gurgle to come out. Can't even scream properly! It still resounded in my head. Must've exploded close to my throat, sending my voice to oblivion. And still had the gall to stick to my face! I cried for my mommy.
Where is she?
Initializing Complete.
'Huh?' I heard a familiar voice.
And promptly ignored it. My ears must be damaged as well. Damn.
I knew my contacts melted into my eyes, because it was so excruciatingly painful to even try and open them! Already bawling my eyes out now; because by some miracle I was still able to cry, painfully. Rolling back and forth on my bed at the same time in a futile attempt to just do something, it didn't help at all. Under the myriad of pain I'm in, it's unbelievable I haven't passed out yet.
'How did the fire spread so fast?' I fleetingly thought. Phone still stuck to my cheeks, I fell off the bed after rolling so much and felt the melting canisters of used hairspray placed by the bedside.
Oh. Fuck!
I should've listened to her and threw them away. Not that it'll stop my phone from exploding. I also vaguely, faintly, at the back of my burning head kind of thing, remember her intense warning about exploding phones and what not to do. Maybe? Not sure. Most likely.

'Too late for that', mentally bashing my inner-hoarder. I tried crawling to my closet and get some clothes but stopped because the floor was lava! Kidding. It was still scorching hot though. The closet was just on fire, inside and out. Fuck it all.
Fusing with Host…
'What the fuck is tha---
'If I live, I'm going to be so ugly', I suddenly thought.
"MOMMMY! I don't want to be ugly!" Voice already so damaged but still wanting to scream. So I crawled like an injured toddler towards door thinking that no matter what, I want to live. Show my ruined beauty to the world. But regardless of my resolve, the human body can endure so much.
At least I manage to sit up, crying. Cue sad music.
"Is this it for me?" I asked myself, voice barely audible.
Mom is probably visiting our relative's office next door. Or she could have gone to the mall, shopping. The fire is already spreading rapidly, I can feel it. It's good that she's not here.
I'm sorry, Mom. *cough*
I'm sorry to have caused you so much pain due to my avoidable death.
But I know you're a strong woman. You're my mother after all. *cough*
I hope you can move on from this. *cough* Damn coughs.
'Hehehe…' I laughed. Please miss me.
I love you, Mom.
Mommy, I really don't want to die. 'So dramatic', mentally rolling my eyes.
Time of Death: 7:48 PM on Friday, May 1, 2020. Victim burned to death. Imagining the scenario if they find my hopefully well-done corpse.
Dying on my birthday, how ironic.
Fusion Complete.
'What'?
Then I woke up.

A Castle in a Teacup
One might say that to anger forces beyond the ken of fragile breakable mortals is a bad idea, others might say that meddling in dark forces with little chance of gain is also a bad idea, they would both be right by on all counts but they forget to mention also how incredibly stupid combining both of those things are. Stupid people don’t last so long on the mystic side of things, normal folks who wander over to the other side have a tendency to do one of two things, either A. figure out that the best thing to do is keep their head down and not draw attention from any entity that refers to humanity as “you mortals” , or B. something horrifying happens to them. As you may have guessed I fell into the second category, mostly because I thought there was a third option. See I though there must be an option C, an option where I got to end up not as some shitty back ally wizard cowering at the chance of discovery, praying that one of my wards or spells wouldn’t be noticed by something that goes bump in the night. No I would be the one who rose above all that. I would never have to be afraid. Well I made a good attempt at it that’s for damn sure, but unfortunately for me it turns out there is not an option C. At least not for me…

Dark Of The Sun
Jordan, the last living Sorceress of Bal’Talanor blood, has come of age at last. She is the rightful Heir, but she has grown up on Earth, unmindful of her identity. She has never heard of the world of Andoherra, nor of World Queens, and, to her, magic is nothing but a parlour trick. When she accidentally finds her way back to her homeland, she discovers her true nature, her awakening power – and the flamboyant Fire Queen who stands between her and her destiny. Calyx is a deadly Sorceress bound by duty to protect Jordan. She will stop at nothing to restore the heir to the throne and slay all those who stand in the way. This should be an easy task – well within the capabilities of her immense magic – but there are three things she didn’t bargain for: losing Jordan, a vengeful dragon, and the small problem of feelings for her mortal enemy, Nerys. Most frustrating of all, she doesn’t have long to debate which issue is the more pressing concern. The starving world of Andoherra is sliding toward total self-destruction, and all the magic in existence doesn't appear to be able to make a damned thread of difference.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
