《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Ransacking the Orcs' Storage Room
Advertisement
Charging with my fellow adventurers, the Lizardmen, and the manipulated Orcs, we arrived in front of the seething Demon Orc.
In unison:
"CCCCHHHHHAAAARRRRGGGGGEEEEE!!!" Adventurers roared.
"KKKKKKIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!" Lizardmen screamed.
"OOOIIIIINNNNNNKKKKKK!!! OINK! OINK!" Orcs oinked (sorry don't know what orcs would say).
Everyone charged to attack the Demon Orc. Fireballs blazing, swords flashing, arrows piercing...but nothing seems to be effective against the Demon Orc. His wounds heal at an ultra fast rate...our most powerful attacks were ineffective and only served to tickle him. Laughing, the Demon Orc swung his huge weapon, instantly pulverizing tens of Lizardmen and Orcs. My fellow adventurers decided that if physical attacks and magical attacks won't work, then they will dish out curses, hexes, poisons, basically any long-lasting debuffs. Looking at what seems to be a hopeless battle, I pondered at what I could help with. With my materials being limited, I cannot make a powerful mask to help out my fellow peers. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I looked around to see if anyone was looking my way before I slipped out and left the scene of the battle.
Now many might think I was scared and ran away...nah, its just a strategic retreat. Moreover, I had another objective I wanted to finish. With an army as big as the Orcs'...they must have some sort of treasury or wealth...right? I hurried towards the fortress and entered quietly. Looking around, I see that there was no one here. After rummaging around, I finally found the storage room. Expecting to see rare treasures, I was left with disappointment when I saw mediocre weapons, some different herbs, a book or two, some metal and crystal ores, and what looks to be at most 500 silver. Not surprising now that I realized that the Orcs have only ransacked small villages. I carefully looked at the items and found that most of the weapons are on their last bit of durability. The herbs are mostly medicinal, with a few antidote and burns relief. The books, surprisingly are the basic acupuncture and basic bloodletting techniques...apparently someone in one of those ransacked villages wanted to be a doctor (doctors and healers are different in that doctors don't know magic). Looking at the ores, I found that hidden within the pile of regular metal and crystal ores is fist-sized moon rock...hmmm, this may come in handy.

Realizing that it is late, I stored all the items in my bag and hurried out. It seems that many of the Lizardmen and Orcs are dead and most of my fellow adventurers have retreated. The Demon Orc seemed to be half stuck in a portal...it may take him some time to get out. Checking one last time to make sure I didn't miss anything, I left and headed back to the tavern.

Beyond the Veil
Martin's life would never be the same. He somehow survived a massacre by shady men in black, only to discover they were conspiring with the police. What was he going to do now? But where one life ends, another life begins. One that will learn of magic, and the world beyond the veil. This is a complete rewrite of my first story, The World Beyond the Veil. This is not the same story. Not even a single sentence has been copy-pasted from the original fiction. Readers of the original will recognize a lot of elements, but there are more and more differences as the story progresses. The fiction is planned as a trilogy. The first volume is published. Regarding one of the tags:Sexual Content: There are no explicit sex scenes in the story. On the other hand, it is definitely a story meant for an adult audience, with plenty of references to sex and genitalia. If you're not comfortable with that, maybe steer away from this story. I am very interested in feedback. Let me know if you spot a plot hole or something else that seem off to you.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
