I open my eyes and I'm not dead. I can't feel anything below my waist but I'm not dead. There was that girl killing that other girl and then running from lizardmen and then the stream, the cold stream, sitting in the cold stream and then looking up and seeing that stone giant—
"Drink."
To my shame I shriek. Then I see her face and I shriek again. Her eyes are blank, just white, nothing but white, almost glowing from within a ragged cowl—
"Witch," I whisper, I can't help it, but she shakes her head and bares her teeth. She's scarred, how did I not notice that, deep ragged scars across her face like something tore it open-
"Drink," she repeats, and I see the steaming cup she's holding up for me to take but I can't make my hand move, all I can think about is how I know her accent, I know it, I do—but stupid because of course she's Stoxan, she's a monster hunter, nobody is scarred like that who isn't a monster hunter.
"Oh," I murmur, and I take the drink, too quickly, it spills and scalds my hand and then my tongue and throat. It's hard to care. I'm grateful to feel anything, even pain.
She takes back her cup, not quite a snatch but she doesn't seem happy. Points down at a few thick worms on the ground.
"These roots," she says. Oh. Not worms. "Roll them between your hands, then rub your hands on your legs."
She stands and straightens her dull red robe and walks away—
"Oh, no, wait, what—" I can't get up, my legs aren't working, I can't even feel them "—what's going on, do you know? Why did you help me?"
She stops and glances back. I have to look away from those white eyes.
"You want to live," she says. "Rub quickly or the little dragons will eat you."
I watch her disappear between the trees.
Then I pick up a handful of roots and rub like my life depends on it.

8 883Dragon Marksman
When a 21-year-old convicted murderer is given a second chance, just how will he put his legendary real-life skills to use in a new world? In a virtual world? How will he find a path of action in a place where magic is commonplace, and where bloodshed reigns? Yi Qiang, a professional sniper at the top of the mercenary world, completed his one and only life goal at 21. Trouble was, that goal got him into jail. However, he was given another chance to hone his skills and put them to use when a mysterious suited man called Mr. Yang approaches him with an offer. An offer of a gateway into worlds yet unknown and into a place chock-filled with the only thing that gave him life. A gateway into Ascend. Release Rate: One chapter every Thursday and Sunday, average length of at least 4 pages.
8 340Single Creation
“You created me, a being of far greater capacity than you could have imagined at a price beyond your nightmares. Now you are lost, wandering through a desolate land, searching blindly. Seeking something you yourself are not aware of, a place where a lifetime of memories should be, but instead an empty abyss resides.-” After I disconnected my finger from the drive it shifted back into its original form and a single thought roared through my mind. ‘What did I do?'
8 92Tales of Realms
A Cultivation World. A Young man named Scrifo with no knowledge of his birth parents, raised by a rowdy man, starts his journey in the world filled with complex relationships, plots and powerhouses that could bend the world to their will with just a glance. A Path filled with War, Honor and Helpless Sighs of Scrifo and his comrades. His brothers and sisters, who together with him will laugh with content at the World's Apex. A Tale of Brotherhood, Love, Tears and Oaths that will sometimes fill them with heart-warming joy while other times with heart-wrenching sorrow and would unknowingly lead them to the centre stage of the realms. Disclaimer: Though the book has Xianxia tag there will be no chinese names in the novel because it would be quite idiotic of me to try and use chinese names without understanding what they mean or represent and for that you have my apologies. What this tag represents is that you'll have a working cultivation system, fighting techniques, people on the quest to reach the top of the world, a world built around cultivation. Of course, everything with my own salt and pepper added to it. Hope you won't be veered off right here and will try a different take on the xianxia genre. I can assure you you won't be disappointed. Release Schedule - Ideally, Weekly Updates on Fridays or Saturdays. Chapter Size - Around 2200 Words Book Size - Honestly, I Don't Know.
