《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Battle of fire, ice and monsters part 3
Advertisement
Edward was evenly matched with Anezka. Both wielded their respective weapons masterfully and took down many enemies during their chaotic melee if they tried to intervene.
The great ball mace of Anezka created fireballs that made craters and made the earth shake when it hit the ground. Edward's sword swing cut down trees around him and his projectile strikes had started to get more and more accurate.
"You really remind me of your father. I am truly happy that I have a new rival to share the battlefield with," Anezka yelled.
"The only difference is, this is not a rivalry. This is an execution," Edward said and shot his projectile attack at her.
With ease, Anezka stopped it by destroying it with her ball mace but was caught surprised when she saw Edward right in front of him. He was taken back by how fast Edward had closed the distance between them.
She tried to defend herself but Edward then slashed her chest cutting it open forcing her to fall.
"The other difference between me and my father is that the other one is dead and the other one is alive," Edward said looking down on the marshal who was bleeding badly.

The army of the nation of Sparv was being rolled like a carpet and tunneled into a certain area by the black yak cavalry. Namri was leading his tribal warriors and with great fury controlled the enemy soldiers like a dog that herded sheep.
"GLORY TO THE GREY SKINS! GLORY TO THE FAIRFAX NATION! GLORY TO RUFUS!" he yelled.
When enough enemy soldiers had been rounded up into a small plateau, loud cannon shots could be heard once more. As the soldiers looked confused, tired and baffled as to why the cavalry was not chasing them anymore they started once more hearing a whistling sound.
They then were fired on by an enormous bombardment by the cannons that had taken aim on the plateau. Thousands of soldiers all died in mere seconds with even the nobles being unable to protect themselves.

The morale of the army had been lost completely with every soldier either surrendering or fleeing.

Queen Sasha was being cut apart and being pushed back by Yosef, Joan and Haley. She was a strong divine person but even for her, the three of them were too much.
With her femoral artery punctured her leg was bleeding a lot. She knew she was about to lose.
The queen started to flee with Joan and Yosef's puppets giving chase. She looked around at her grand army that was being destroyed and pummeled by a far inferior force, or so she had thought. Neither had she ever experienced the charge of the black yaks or the power of dokkaebi cannons. She had thought that the Fairfax kingdom was not united and weak from its last civil war revolution.
She saw that the iron cage that was still intact and undamaged though collapsed on the side of the road. The queen saw that Anezka was very close to it and had a chance to open it.
"Anezka Novak! Open the cage! Release it" the queen commanded her marshal.
Anezka then got up, threw her weapon at Edward to distract him and started to run towards the cage. Edward instead of even trying to give chase rested his sword on his shoulder and waited for what was she up to next.
She got to the cage and took out a key and opened its heavy vault door. From inside a humanoid creature stepped out with no eyes, nose, ears or mouth. It had high muscle density with veins popping out from the biceps to the abdomen. It was completely naked and didn't show any genitalia.
Edward, Joan and Yosef stared at this creature that seemed so strange to them.
Many eyes and three mouths formed on the creature's face from underneath its fleshy face. Anezka then smiled and stared at Edward like she knew what was about to happen next.
It then punched Anezka with a hook that decapitated her head in a split of a second.

Edward readied his weapon fearing it would attack him next.
The creature instead flexed its muscles like it had not moved in years with its head turning 360 degrees and elbows bending over what a normal human's elbows could.
The creature then spotted the queen and smiled with its many mouths. It appeared in a blink of an eye in front of her and stared down at her unaffected by the queen frost divinity. She tried to defend herself by hitting the creature with her black ice mace, but the creature just grabbed it and shattered it with just a squeeze of its grip.
The humanoid creature then raised its hand at the fear-stricken queen. It licked its eyeballs like it was enjoying the moment and was finally getting its revenge.
As the monster was about to kill the queen its attack was halted by crystals that engulfed it up to its neck.
The queen saw her chance and started to run away as Edward plunged in trying to cut off the head of the beast.
The head fell off with one swing with Edward smiling thinking he had killed the thing. The headless torso of the beast then walked toward his severed head breaking its crystal restraints with no struggle. It then grabbed his severed head and placed it back on its neck. The head was quickly connected back and then turned backward creepily and stared at Edward.
Edward again tried to strike at the beast with his blade but the creature dodged and followed with a kick that sent him flying high over the treetops.
~~
Joan caught up to the queen who was running away from the battlefield and from the monster. She pushed the queen down placing her blade yet again on her neck. The queen was completely exhausted and was too tired to try and resist her like last time.
"Tell me! What the hell is that thing?" Joan yelled.
"It is an experimental weapon that has been raised since my grandmother found it," the queen said.
"What do you mean raised?"
"My grandmother found a raxnas that had taken hold of a human and devoured two others. It was still not strong but saw it as a potential weapon. She captured it and put it inside a cage in the capital that was reinforced with heavy and unbreakable steel plates. She knew that if a raxnas kept eating the same species as its original host it would get stronger. She hoped to tame the beast and make it her personal weapon.
It was then fed prisoners that were supposed to be executed. For many years we did that and even though it was never publicly admitted, rumors of the beast of Sparv had started to spread in the nation. The experiment was continued by my mother who then deemed the experiment as a failure since it could not be tamed or killed. But I still saw potential in it. It was only half a failure. It still could be used and it had become truly insanely strong and now I have unleashed it upon you," the queen explained while looking at Yosef and Haley who were struggling with the beast.
"How many humans has it devoured?" Joan asked with eyes wide open.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe around at least a couple a week since the time of my grandmother. Now that my creature has been unleashed it can not be stopped. It will now destroy you as you have destroyed me. It will then decide to either head east or west. With the same odds as in flipping a coin, one of our countries will be destroyed by it," the queen said and laughed.

The Cursed Heart
Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come. Things look bad, but there’s hope — the world’s most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family.

Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead?

Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe.

However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.

The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.

[Don't] Fear the Dragon!
Do yourself a favour and, if the chance to become a dragon in a different world ever arrives, reject it as kindly as possible. As for myself? I didn't have much say in the matter. I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical. None of the other dragons let them in on the secret that we only hoard treasure in order to bait the fools. Or how it's a common belief that we eat humans for breakfast. Seriously! Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time. Now that was an interesting one... [Updated daily at 11 PM | EST!]

Crafting the Future (Magic & Tech Crafting)
He built and crafted with all his heart. Whether totemic nature magic, mechanical and alchemical factories, nanomachines, teleporters, alchemy, enchanting, mining, and farming, there were no ends. From the lowly stone age he moved reached levels of technology thought only imaginary and magic which made worlds quake. Things aren’t perfect though. Monsters and beasts fill the world, growing stronger by the day, a malignant force is ever present… And strange, bountiful ruins of all sorts remain scattered throughout the world, abandoned yet maintained by faithful servants. But what mattered most to Joey was the little black cube which not only redefined his worldview, but allowed him to transform the world into something utterly marvellous. The patreon linked to this account is not for this story. This story heavily focuses on crafting progression of both magic and tech, where in something is crafted to unlock a new resource or way to craft something better. Heavily influenced on games with such structure. As there is no backlog, chapter releases will be as written, which hopefully will be once a day but depends on progress made per day.
