《Pilgrim》3 AM Waffles
Advertisement
Sam ate another bite of bacon from his syrup-soaked plate.
It was raining outside of the diner that he wandered off to after his eventful night. He honestly could not believe everything that had transpired in the past few days. Meeting an otherworldly creature in Evangelos, gaining supernatural abilities, fighting off attackers. Now to add to his list, he had even preached a sermon. Out of everything that had happened, that nearly seemed the most unlikely, as he never saw himself completely following in Eli's footsteps.
And yet, here we are...
He sliced off another bite of his gooey waffle, that had perhaps been overly soaked in butter and syrup.
Sam had never been to this diner, but it was his only option tonight. After all, not many places are open at 3 AM.
After preaching his heart out for over an hour, quoting probably every bit of Scripture that Eli had ever taught him, and sharing everything that he felt led to, the crowd quietly retired from their angel-hunt and went back to their homes. A few lives were changed, Sam thought. Some of the crowd had prayed at the altar near the front of the sanctuary. Some probably prayed for protection, some maybe for strength and courage in the dark times of their lives. A few, he thought, had even met Jesus that night. He did share with them the “Roman Road to Salvation,” after all, just as Pastor Eli would have done. Maybe some good was trying to come from the tragedies in Sam's life, like a flower trying to grow though a crack in the pavement.
He never told them that he was this 'Pilgrim.' It was not because he meant to mislead them, but because he did not feel like this was the right time. He felt that, perhaps, the right time would reveal itself, in the same way that God had shared this ability with him.

Sam looked around the diner. It was cold in here, he thought. Maybe it was from being away from home at such an odd time that was making his body miss the warmth of home and his bed. He was the only patron left, it seemed. Lights flickered on and off over head. The cook stepped outside for a smoke break, and had fallen asleep with his head reclined against his hand.
Before Sam could feel too alone, lightning struck a nearby building, and thunder crackled in the pouring rain, causing him to jolt back to his reality of soggy waffles and moist bacon. The lights flickered yet again.
And a familiar face now sat across from him.
“Hello, Samuel Sander,” the voice said as his wings flapped over the old diner chair, “I have another message for you."

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What?
Description An Isekai-Oriented LitRPG lite, Game of Thrones type (HBO version) set in alternate-Italy during the Renaissance. Warning! This story contains strong sexual themes. Most of it is incidental sexy stuff as opposed to romantic. There is also some sexual violence and themes of revenge and trauma. Synopsis Moments after being born, the cambion began to grow at an alarming rate and everyone wanted to kill him. He knew there was much he had forgotten... he had a life before. He longed to remember it, but the memory eluded him. Truly, this was a fantasy world of might and magic, but it felt familiar somehow. At any rate, the first priority is to survive. And that meant finding something to eat... Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What? is a story about an outworlder main character, who (as of this moment) discovers he absorbs the powers and aspect of that which he consumes through his devour ability. There are a number of other interesting characters you get to meet as the political landscape is unveiled. Bonus! You are encouraged to post comments regarding what you would like to see show up in future chapters! I would like this fiction to be shaped in large part by reader input, so please don't be shy! Thanks for reading this and hope to get to know you through the comments! Oh, and be nice! What I'm posting here is basically a first draft. If anything important in the early chapters gets edited I'll let you know in the author comments. Your feedback definitely gets weighed to help make the work better.
