"Faster Cain! Faster! We need to get out of here as quick as we can! You're eating too slowly!"
"Why do we need to eat faster? I'm fine! Don't you love lazy people?"
"I love greedy people as well and you're not being greedy enough!'
"What's happened to you? You were so happy just then!"
"I'm Satan! I can change my mood whenever I want! Now hurry up and eat!"
"Ok, ok, fine! But you think I enjoy this taste!? No! The taste is absolutely revolting! The saltiness of this makes it almost bitter! The flesh wraps around and tickles your mouth! It's simply a revolting feeling! You want me to eat that faster? Have you ever felt that?"
"Ah, deal with it, I've eaten worse things…"
"But you're Satan! What do devils even eat! Do they even eat?"
"I eat the flesh and soul of my enemies! In battle, I tear myself into the enemy! I taste their flesh as my jaws tear out their flesh! I revel in the looks on their faces as they're about to die. I take joy in the despair in their hearts! And when they finally die, expecting to go to heaven, I snatch! Their souls! One final look of despair! So, does that answer your question?"
"I - I s-sup-pose s-so - o"
"Great, now turn back and keep on eating…Hehehe… By the way… Why don't you try eating like me huh? Tear into the flesh of the children!"
"I'm uh, fine with just eating them. So, I guess I'll just eat them? I mean, it is the fastest way to eat them right? No fanciful ceremony to kill them all. So it should be fine right?"
"Yeah sure, whatever, I don't care, kill them however you like! Some more blood misting about would be a better show though!"

"Uh… I'll settle for not doing that I think…"
--Laboratory--
Electricity is a form of energy, it takes many steps and undergoes many changes in order to be used. Along the way, the transformation into other forms of energy ends up losing energy. The biological systems of life were never designed to endure rapid conversions, yet life still finds a way. The dumpsites provide a unique habitat where specific adaptations where creatures continually and rapidly evolve to better suit the environment. The rapid rate of evolution may be attributed to the abundant amount of energy and thus more mutations are produced. We still do not have an explanation for how sample-458521 managed to grow so rapidly. End of log.
--Colony--
"Alright! Everybody! Settle down!"
"We all know there is a cause for why we are here. It's a grave one, I'm not gonna lie. Ahhh..., so how do I say this…"
"We've taken a large loss, especially in manpower. Each and every one of you have probably noticed that. We've all been working nonstop. And although I'm sure we'd all love to stop, that's simply not possible. We all need to work hard for the queen and the bible. The queen is not entirely at fault."
"The council, for the benefit of all of us, had decided to minimize the number of workers and soldiers, but maximize the number of scavengers. This benefits us the most as we can no longer expand, but maximizes the average strength per mole."
"But now we've suffered a great loss. It is no longer possible for us to simply build up our strength in peace. We've been discovered and captured."
"I know everybody but the scavengers have only experienced the safety of the nest. But that safety has been compromised."

"We have two choices, to move or to stay behind. I'm sure many of you want to fight back, but that is a futile attempt. So many of us have been captured already. Those were the most fit workers that were captured. What's left behind of us are a skeleton crew of guards, a minimal amount of workers, and scavengers."
"Taking in our current situation, the council has decided to move on. Yes. We're leaving behind your work. Your parents work. Everybody's work. But we have no choice. We are not able to fight back."
"But fear not! That is only the present! We will have our revenge one day! We declare total war against the humans for this act!"
"We may not be able to fight them head-on. We may not be able to see them at all. We may not even directly kill one. But we will make them fear us! For we shall shake their very foundation! Our colony will span over their entire territory and more! We will avenge those fallen moles!"
"So how do we do this? Well it all began with a journey. Our scavengers have journeyed long and far, searching for the end of this dumpsite! And they found it!"
"What have we found? We found our future! There's are tunnels! There's everything we want down there! Do they dump toxic sludge down there? Yes! Do they throw random plastics around? Yes! And it all flows through one place we've explored!"
"My fellow moles, we really only have one option and that is to infiltrate the humans!"
"So! Are you in!"
--Inner Nest--
"Have you, announced the journey?"
"Yes Your Highness, we have announced the journey."
"And the fake council?"
"We only mentioned it in passing, we hope to slowly integrate this into their lives. It may be a concern if we move and none of the councilmen actually exist though."
"Get some of the more trusted moles to pretend to be councilmen then."
"Well, that could work, but there's always a risk of being recognized! It's better if you give birth to several moles."
"I suppose I will have to…"
"And besides, that, uh, how are we going to move you?"
"What do you mean move me? I can move myself perfectly fine!"
"Well, I mean, with that giant thing… I assumed you couldn't."
"And you would be right in assuming that, except that I don't need to stay in this form!"
"What?"
"Have you ever heard of perhaps, scavengers being able to regenerate themselves from a leftover limb?"
"I mean, sure! But I don't exactly see how you could!"
"It's simple, although nobody would think of it! I just cut off the back and recycle it! Easy!"
"I uh, I never expect that now so uh, do you want some peace while you go do that?"
"Sure, I won't hold you here any longer, I assume you have other duties right?"
"I shall see myself out then Your Highness."

My Pixie Familiar
Pixies are real. Not only are they real, but are considered pests due to their mischievous nature and love of pranks. Some people think they are magical and making a potion or powder from their wings will transfer that magic to a person. Any good alchemist will tell you that is not true. Most will gladly take your money and make you a "magic potion" though. My name is Jase Fisher and I thought I would follow in the steps of my mother and become an alchemist since I didn't enjoy fishing, hunting, or any of the other trades offered in Beau Ferry, my village. Not only have I been looking forward to being an alchemist, I was looking forward to bonding with a familiar. My biggest fear is not bonding with one of the exciting familiars such as a dragonet. If I can just make it through the bonding process, my life is set. Oh, and not run afoul of any pixie pranks.
8 488Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
8 142Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week.

8 157The legend of the sun guild.
Durning the age of darkness it was said that four people of great power were born. The first man of great might. Who hunted the monster and saw them as know more than a means to an end. He fought to simply feed his hungry for blood and power. He challenged both the heavens and the darkest depths of hell. He made the world know meaning of the word fear. He was a strongest swordsman of the world. During his time their were few who could say otherwise and by his end their was know to be only one who claimed to be his better. There were none who love the sword like him. And there would be none who his blade would love like him. They said that number did not matter to him. That all who face him blade would die without exception. They is a legend of him bringing death to an empire so he could claim the life of widow of a soldier who died of his own blade in the face death so that the sword man would not now the satisfactory of taking his life. They called him the sword of death. The second was a man of great rage. An noble avenger to the weak and and terror to the strong. He was a berserker but unlike most who would attempt to control they rage he would reveal in the through of it controlling him. He would streak across the battlefield ripping both friend and foe apart alike and he would do so with nothing but his bare hand. They called him an immortal they said the more be bleed the more his power would grow. And they spoke of the power to he he could trade his blood for death. They said that no mortal weapon could kill him and that he would rise to fight no matter the injury. There was a legend of him ripping off his own head and using it to club his enemies to death. They called him the immortal wrath. The third was a woman of madness and magic. She was a hated witch. They say that her only objects was to spread misery and hate. It said she lead many a good man from the right path to one of great evil just to she if she was capable of such things. Her experiments left only detestation in their wake as she tainted the lands in some way worse than the worse then the void or darkness ever could. Her magic was a foul and dangerous thing that saw all her enemy become her enemy. That she enter the territory of both the formed of order and the gods of Chao us would not go. That she played with the energy of the void. Legend speaks of a place where she corrupted the very darkness that that claim both the land and the people. Some say light would flee from her presence in fear of the shadows fate for that was her name she was the fate weaver. The forth was a man. He was simply known as… the hero of the world. But this is not his story. No this is a story that speak of the other three The unrelenting swords man The undying wrath The unquantifiable desire But it mainly speaks of their second life. For the age of darkness has long since pases and the age of fire is coming to a close. But as the age dies a new one must be born. ( the idea is that this story will be told from the perspectives of the bad guys. Their motives ,objectives, rise to power, struggles and what they want to achieve. But yes they are the ‘bad guys’ of the story it’s also probably important to note that for the time being it’s going to be written on my phone then edit later when I have the time and feel like it but you should probably think of whats here as a draft until further notice. )
