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.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.

A War Beyond Kings
Author: I made som mistakes early in the story that I will have to correct, but it will take some time. I have not abandoned this story, but I will be working on my computer and will not be active on royal road. "The elves start to leave their secure forest of Silvanwood for the first time in over two thousand years. Wizards are murdered in their own homes one by one to the dismay of the Jeidan Order of mages. The ancient ruins in Agnellia seem to have awoken after thousands of years of abandon. The flames of war are brewing, and the continent of Maëgor is about to witness a war like never seen before." Author’s note: This is a serious story, loosely inspired from many great works, which you will maybe be able to identify on your own. It is entirely original though. I’ll be working on this for hours every day, but that doesn’t necessarily means that there’ll be daily chapters. I don't own the rights to the cover image, and will immediatly take it down if the author requires so. Every chapter will be at least 2000 words. And congratulations to anyone who guesses on which language the chapter titles are written in.
