Give it a bit of thought then pop the lizard's arm off. It goes all twitchy like they do. Pretty funny. Hate the noise they make, but. Snuffling clicking hissing fuckers. Crush the thing's lower jaw but that just makes it worse. Fuck. Fuck it, cave in its head and toss it aside.
Bored now. Need people. Lizards are boring little shits when you get right down to it. Should've maybe hung on to that hero. Heroes are always fun. Ah, fuck it anyway. Maybe go back to the river. Heh, can't wait for someone to get near the water. That'll be fucking classic.
Wait though. Screaming! Yeah, yeah, okay—fuck these fucking useless ears but that way I think, yeah? Yeah maybe, fucking fantastic if it's a group, group'd keep me going a while.
Fuck. The sack. Ah, better bring it. Hell of a hassle finding it again last time. Shouldn't run anyway. Too much noise. Don't want to ruin the surprise. Speaking of, there goes another scream—nah, nah, more like a shout, warning shout which is brilliant because you don't give a warning shout to yourself, do you? Course you fucking don't. Could be a decent sized group. Could mean I don't have to go back to those four fucking psychos at the arena. Boring predictable fuckers.
There they are. Gotta be at least a half dozen of 'em, maybe more—ah but fucking lizards again, fucking little fuckers gonna fuck up my fun, nuh, NUH, you fucking—
"—DON'T," as I swat it into a tree, splats real nice, next one's coming right at me and haha these fuckers can't stop so easy once they get going, let it slam into me then grab it by the arms, little shit's squirming like a woman and hissing like stink, bring it up into proper focus but can't read nothing in its big yellow eyes. Give it a bit of pressure, bit of a tug on the arms. Not much happens. More squirming maybe, snapping its mouth a bit, nothing special. Bit more pressure and—fuck, arm's come off. Fuck it anyway, boring little shit ain't—

FUCK, the group, got distracted by this squirmy little bitch—
"FUCK YOU," throw it down and stomp its filthy carcass into the dirt, lizards are tougher than people but they still squish real good, bones are real bendy too. People get all splintery. Get a snapped arm bone between your toes and fuck, you'll soon know about it.
FUCK AGAIN the fucking group, keep getting distracted, gotta go maybe save 'em from some lizards or at least watch 'em get fucked—
Huh.
"—you even come from, how did you ... you just killed two lizardmen with your BARE HANDS!"
"Just good timing, I guess."
"Godsdamn deadly timing! Good looking anyway, what's your name, friend?"
Can't see too well, especially at this distance and through all these trees and shit, but if that fucker isn't grinning I'm a fucking burrow worm.
"Call me North," he says, fucking heroes. Hahaha. Yeah, this group is gonna be fun. Maybe give 'em a little bit of time. Keep watching 'em while they're feeling safe. Stir 'em up if I get a chance. Then go introduce myself. Heh. Yeah. Definitely not bored right now.

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic. An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel? Adventures? Right this way! A Grand quest? Nah. Friends and loot? Heck yes! Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food. Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her. Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move. Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws. The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there! I’m going to be posting M-W-F I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 429Convicted
Sentenced to the sea for a crime he didn't commit... Wrongly convicted of killing his lover, Li is sent off to serve his sentence in the privateer fleet of Mahlon, where he finds himself somewhere between a sailor and a pirate. He supposes it is a better way to die than wasting away in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. If it isn't the sea or sailing necromancers that threaten his life, perhaps it is his assigned partner, an unfriendly man named Ardlac who seems to want nothing to do with a stranger sharing his space. Li doesn't know that his unfriendly exterior masks a wounded soul suffering from a loss Li can understand far too well. But that is only one of the many secrets lurking around him and one of the many threats to uncover. CONVICTED is a low-stakes story about healing, recovery, and comfort. Originally posted on Tapas, I am now cross-posting this story on Royal Road, Wattpad, and Neovel.

8 119Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.

Book 2 Should be edited sometime in September. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08BWQ1CLG Please note this story does not whitewash history. The Empires of AD 70 did things that would be called ruthless by our times. Things that we would consider war crimes were considered honorable. Superstitions that would horrify us today were commonly practiced. Things like child marriage were not just practiced, but for much of the world was expected. If these things bother you, then you know how the main characters in this story will feel.
