《Insanely Lucky》Chapter 1 - O Fortuna
Advertisement
Lady Luck had liked the idea of sapient life when she first heard about it. Beings that were capable of altering their own paths was a novel idea. It gave her another variable to play around with that broke up the monotony. And after eons of manipulating the universe; it was getting exceedingly monotonous. So she thought to her self "Fuck it! Why not?" And so she let the new upstart sapiens continue their stumbling about in their advancement in culture and sciences. For a time she watched these new species across countless planets start to explore their home worlds. It was... entertaining, cute even; akin to watching a gosling taking its first waddling steps after hatching. Much like geese, however, at a certain point these cute hatchlings known as sapiens grew up to be outright bastards. She started to notice Things happening on these..."Thinking planets", as she classified them. Small Things. SIMPLE Things. Things that are on their own or in part of certain organic life would be normal. Things like: having pets. No problem there; there are many non-sapien lives that keep another organism as a pet. Nothing special. Or, Social hierarchy. Again nothing new, a lot of species organize themselves in a rigid hierarchy. But, as the millenniums went by these innocuous Things started to take on a horrific twist. The idea of pets turned into the idea of slavery. The Social hierarchy turned into systemic prejudism. Even the simple territorial dispute turned into outright Genocide. This HAD to stop. This NEEDED to stop. As such, She tried. And for the most part, She failed. Now, one might wonder why a cosmic being with the power to manipulate the whole universe failed to halt the progress of civilization. It's a simple answer, really. Unlike most preconceived notions of Lady Luck, her power isn't as simple as pulling a trigger on a gun, or as "random" as pulling the lever on a slot machine. Her's was the power of a simple ball of snow rolling down a mountain. Of a patch of ice before a stop light. Of an asteroid being caught in the gravitational pull of a celestial body. Of a simple bolt not properly secured on a spaceship. In short she could "nudge" things into place. Using her cosmic level Rube Goldberg machines typically worked quite nicely in manipulating the going-ons of the universe. Unfortunately, by the time Lady Luck realized these cute sapiens were actually a cat turd in her sandbox; she had no grand scheme to effectively scoop the proverbial shit from it. With that being said, She did succeed in quite a few cases. Such as the CHi'ulapa in the Q'th'imp system, and their ultimate demise via 'Nudged" Black hole. Or the Polokos of the Leepin system and their "Accidental' Nuclear war. But still most of the sapiens in the universe survived her machinations. This is why after discovering that a certain bipedal terrestrial carnivore has started to show signs of sapience She immediately went into action to wipe the slate clean from that particular blue and green planet. And unlike before she succeeded....mostly. Sure she made that big green bipedal carnivore devolve into fucking poultry, but as an unintended by product she set the ground works for one of the most resilient, and cunning species in the universe todate... Fucking Humans.

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042

The Cage
Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind. They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth. For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath. This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably end really badly. *Cover art taken from internet source of free-use, uncopyrighted photos and images.
