《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Ever since that attack, everyone has been more alert than usual. Even the ship's crew scans the horizon for any sign of hostile ships when on a break.
Speaking of nothing else to do, I'm inside the Captain's office playing cards with him. We've been sailing for two days now, yet there's been no news of the intruder. They probably think I'm a liar because of that. But hopefully, that is just me being pessimistic. My troops have not changed their attitude towards me. As for the Captain...,
"What is it? Got a good hand?" The Captain catches me staring at him.
"Ah, no. I was just wondering about something," I put down my cards in surrender. "Captain, I'm worried that the intruder might have been busy these past couple of days."
"Worrying alone won't do anything, you know. You have to take action! But if you can't even lift a finger, then, whatever happens, happens."
"I can't tell if that's optimistic or pessimistic, Captain Greene."
"Please, you know that I'm both."
The two of us play a few more rounds until it is time for supper. Just as we are about to proceed to the mess, we meet Orange. She has sunset orange hair that grows to neck length and is Yellow's maid. She's also beautiful, but unlike Black's aloof nature, the impression I got from Orange these couple of days is that she's the cheerful type.
Orange voted for me to be tossed overboard, though, so I cannot be blamed if I'm not too friendly with her. She's sexy, though.
"Hey~" Orange waves at us with a sweet smile.
"Wassup?" Captain Greene greets her with a smile of his own.
I do nothing but listen to their exchange. Both Captain Greene and Orange already got used to me ignoring the four people who tried to vote me off, so I was there left alone, waiting for them to finish.

From what I could gather from their chatter, it seems that the cook finished preparing the meals earlier than expected and that almost everyone has done eating. The knights and their servants, on the other hand, are taking their stored food as a precautionary measure since they can not brush aside my testimony too easily about the intruder still being here.
Finally speaking their goodbyes to each other, Captain Greene and I continue to the mess where we stumble upon a tragic sight. The ship's crew are lying dead or almost dead, foaming visible on the mouth. Seeing this, the Captain ran up to the upper deck to check on the rest.

8 112A Soul's Wish
Hey everyone! Just a heads up. I am adding the Traumatising content tag because some parts might be considered as, well, traumatising. I want to point out though, it is not my aim to make a story that focuses on this aspect. Yuki is a college freshman that has been pulled into a fantasy world full of magic and monsters. Without any special talents, at level one, and with only a mere wisp as a companion he will need to figure out how to survive in the hostile environment. As he grows stronger and travels across this new world, he will find friends, make enemies, learn betrayal, overcome obstacles and grow into a hero. Hopefully. His goal? To save a princess, of course. A classic adventure fantasy story set in another world. Cover by the lovely Sara Lucasi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saralucasi/

A forsaken kingdom, an empty throne, a dwindling population and the blame is one young girl? Can she overcome the darkness in her heart and the stigma of her people and become something great? This is my first attempt at a series so if anyone has any critiques on my work, grammatical or plot wise feel free to leave them in the comments; also, don't be afraid to be brutally honest in the reviews. Gonna leave it at (14+) for now. PS- The description is a work in progress.
8 176The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
