《In New Dimensions Everyday》Head Over Kills 6
Advertisement
"Wait." Roderick said but wondered how he could break the walls. "Anyone has got a hammer?" he asked the crowd, which didn’t listen to him anyway. Roderick swung his arm and hit the wall with a punch. His knuckles felt a crack. It wasn’t his bone cracking, but it was the nose of the person confined within. He made another punch. This time the wall broke down. Condemned man came by clutching his nose. "Sorry for breaking your nose. Can you tell me who chops someone's head here?" Roderick asked. "This is a village where everyone is an executioner." He said and ran for his life. Roderick was confused. But Headless was alert and was stomping on ground. A wall fell in front of him. Then another fell behind their back. Walls also descended from both sides and the final wall made the roof. Now they were confined. Roderick punched the wall but the walls were not fragile. They were strong enough to hurt Roderick’s knuckles. "Help me! Take me out from here." Roderick yelled like a child in the darkness. The darkness within made him claustrophobic. Darkness reminded him of the time when he had met the wizard. "Give me some advice." Roderick snapped at Headless. Headless was giving signs but he could not see it in pitch darkness. There was nothing left for him other than to wait for something to happen. Roderick stayed there for over two hours, anxiously. Someone shattered the wall in front of them with a hammer. The light, even of noon, dazzled him. Headless didn’t respond to the light. With some more swings of hammer, the masked man took down the wall and pulled him out of there. There Roderick saw more masked men. One of them was holding the head of the person he had just freed. "Freeing a condemned to die is a crime punishable only by death." Executioner said. "Are you the one who decapitated my friend?" Roderick pointed at the headless body. Everyone gasped in scare as he came out in the light. Women started to run while the executioners stood their ground with trembling feet. "He is a wizard. Burn him alive!" a bunch of people roared from their windows. Those on ground cheered in agreement. "Burn them! Burn them! Burn them!" chants became louder and louder each passing second. "Make the stake ready." Executioner screamed to the public after yanking down both of them on ground. Executioners tied their hand and feet. Then there came a group of people carrying stakes. They hoisted them on stakes like they were carrying a donkey on a stick. As they were being taken to the burning site, they saw men and children rush with haystacks and dry woods. Roderick realized the burning area wasn’t really far away when they put those haystacks and wood pieces near a hole meant for holding the stake. There was another person on a stake about to be burnt. "No! No!" Roderick yelled as he was put upright on the stake. Even Headless looked terrified. Executioners brought wet ropes for fastening them. "This wet rope will hold you, wizard." Executioner laughed at him, "But first, watch this thief burn." He showed him the thief who was fastened on the third stake.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
