Rain
~
When Teng awoke the next day, it was raining. It really poured down, and he has no hopes to go out fishing today. Even worse is his enclosure has likely been destroyed, and the fish probably escaped. Teng isn’t feeling too disheartened though, but more curious about what other challenges he might have to face while being here.
Looking as if the rain won’t let up anytime soon, he sits back down and begins to meditate.
Feeling the different atmosphere really helps him. His heart has felt heavy for a while, and it seems the rain knows him best. As he sits there immersed in his feelings, the energies quickly converge and rush into Teng. Teng still immersed in rumination doesn’t notice.
Teng has considered his life for a long time. Most times when he felt down, he was thankful that the rain was there to dampen the noise. While usually one would feel sad or gloomy, Teng felt happy when it rained. He almost wishes it would rain every day. Many times, Teng wanted it to rain on him within, but it seemed it was a separate entity, being lofty up above.
To Teng right now he was immersed in this feeling. The feeling that the rain had come to wash away his past and give him a new beginning. That the dream he searched for had been fulfilled. Truly with enough rain nothing would last. Even Teng with his beliefs was awestruck by the power of the flood, in Noah’s time. Almost envious he could live in such a time.
His body felt like that right now. Being drenched in spiritual rain, washing away his pain and sorrows, healing the cracks in his heart. His mind becoming clearer. When Teng opened his eyes, the rain had stopped and sunshine was seeping through.

He quickly felt the changes in his body. It seems he made some sort of breakthrough. He felt nearly ten times stronger. And further more with it came understanding. It seems he gained rudimentary understanding into the Law of Rain.
It was a weird feeling knowing the law had always been there, just separated by a thin veil. With the change of energy in the world, the layers were becoming thinner.
Wanting to test out his new gift Teng heads out.

Exploiting a crayfish that was alone, Teng strikes, water pushing him forwards to strike fast. The crayfish tries to flee, but it is constricted a little, slowing it down. Teng feeling the strain, quickly pierces the crayfish. As Teng heads to the surface, he reflects.
It seems the Law of Rain encompasses a bit of water, as well as wind. He will have to meditate it on further, but now he has direction it should be a steady journey. Mostly Teng is excited. Not only has his fishing endeavours shot through the roof, his body is even healing. His blood seems to have become thicker, and his sight sharper. His left arm no longer in pain.
Sometimes his sense in the water increases, but he still needs to get used to it. Almost like growing another responder to noise, like an ear.
Jumping up onto the nearest rock Teng feels alive. All his senses capturing the trees blowing in the wind, and the waves crashing on the sand. He stands to enjoy the new sensation of freedom and peace.
Unfortunately, it is quickly ruined by a grating sound around the cave side.
Teng unsure of the noise, and feeling confident walks around the shore.
When he makes it around, he sees a creature, with a large shell on its back, slowing eating the hard rocks of the cave. Shocked by such a huge creature, Teng backs up a bit, before inspecting it from the tree line.

It seems it wants entry into the cave, but cannot fit. So, it is eating away the outer edges of rock. It looks to be a slug of some sort. Maybe a snail? But its nearly three metres tall and two metres wide. Surely no normal snail Teng thinks.
Teng suddenly realises that this snail is biting in close to his habitat. There really aren’t many good places such as the one Teng found. He definitely can’t sleep well knowing a gigantic snail is chewing through his house.
While Teng is hesitating what to do, a giant dinosaur bird descends piercing the snail and lifts it up, flying high up.
Watching it go Teng has a gloomy face. It flies high and heads far west it seems, probably back to a mountain.
Not willing to stay out here longer he heads home.

Galactic Fist of Legend
In the year 2018 a bright star appeared near Earth. Humanity as a whole was briefly introduced to a race of beings far beyond their understanding. During that brief interaction a proclamation was made, Defeat the Grand Emissary or become the eternal slaves of those who had arrived at Earth. The only chance for victory was for people all across the globe to make a choice. When prompted to become a champion and a play a bizarre game of life or death they could choose yes or no. Those who chose no, went about their lives afterward. All memory of the event was lost despite the fact that their very existence as a free species hung by a single thread. Will those who said yes manage to survive the horror of the game and become strong enough to defeat the Grand Emissary. Can one of them become... The Galactic Fist of Legend. Also, it's a comedy. Pretty obvious, right? Notes: This story will contain graphic violence, stupid humor, nudity, sexiness, and maybe I'll give the main character a pet cat or something. I don't know yet. Still, you need to be pretty mature to properly take care of a pet. Notes2: This story is my answer to stories such as Gantz, Terror Infinity, Battle Royale, Btoom!, and strangely enough... Captain N: The Video Game Master. It is an original story, but it does seek to give a similar vibe to some of those tales of legend. However, it is not meant to be an overly serious tale as I have decided that the new stories that I release in the coming year will be mostly comedies.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
