《The Deal of Tyler Mouret》-The Underworld- Chapter 8*
Advertisement
"Alone again, I don't show it, but I think I'm starting to appreciate the human, it gives me company" since my father has started socializing with the other lords in the territories around us, the house started feeling more empty, and it's not like I have something against the servants, but that is what they are, servants, except for Gertrude... I guess I will go for a walk, I still remember when father sent it to build for mom.
"Je, He got her out of the house for days just to make the labyrinth" Even so I still have to keep him from finding the human, that is why I gave the enchanted salamander to Tyler, it avoids the detection from the waves his soul make here be it by an animal or spirit besides the author of the hex, what worries me is the enchantment disadvantage, it makes the recipient in a parasite, it begins uniting with the body until it destroys it or the host can control it, but that is only if the will of the host is very strong— Well I don't think that will happen, it's going to be fine, besides is an Elemental Salamander, those creatures are extremely stable with the energies around them, be it magic or anything else.
I got to the garden and sat at the fountain in front of the entrance to the labyrinth.
"I wonder how he survived to the influence of so many spirits in his body, I saw him transformed in a wraith or a possessed warrior, either way, I am still surprised, he can travel between dimensions and resist the influence of condemned spirits, this intrigues me more each day, and ¿what the heck is a videogame?" I think I will go to the city today.

I got out of the mansion, not before taking a dagger with me and inconspicuous clothing, I can be nobility, but there are other territories that with no doubt kill a pure breed for its soul, that is why my father is trying to gain alliances around us.
I arrived at the city market, busy as always, it doesn't matter much, the residents are neutral spirits, the condemned are at the borders of the city working as slaves or normally but with their restrictions depending on what they did when they were alive, and whores working in the alleys like they were normally, there is no difference between the Earth and this place, but in the aspect of culture and development we look like the feudalism of the XVIII century, in transition, I can say for sure I envy the technology the humans have now, I didn't have problems before, but hearing Tyler say a word I didn' know before make me feel we were underdeveloped, that my family was behind in progress if only I could get that technology, this place would flourish like a real Kingdom, a Dominion, I guess I can start by asking Tyler for petty things first, but if there is something I want, is to get out and know something else, even Earth, that is why I asked for a flower.
Here in the Underworld flowers are almost nonexistent, we have a garden, but the plants in there don't have any flowers, there are trees and medicinal plants and with other uses, sometimes I read botanic books, they have detailed images of flowers I have never seen.
— I only have to wait for that fool, well, let's see what the bakery has today —I entered and in the counter was a big guy with a belly comparable with its size— Hello Fred, ¿what do you have for me today?.

— ¡Princess! To what do I have the honor of your visit.
— You know perfectly why, I came for that wonderful Apple pie only you can do.
— Oh, well, there is one that was finished just now, ¿would you like a piece?.
— You already know the answer.
— Jajajaja, I will put it in a box for you to take.
— You know Fred, I would like to know how to make cakes, but even if I know I would still keep buying you.
— You flatter me Princess Aishti, let me tell you something, take the pie, is on the house, here you go —He gives me a small box with a delicious aroma.
— Thank you very much, Fred, I will see if I can bring you something good, ¿what do you think?.
— I would feel honored Princess.
He is the baker here, but he only knows some recipes, I think I could give him some from the library. My mother loved his cakes too, we usually buy him one when we passed by the city, my father loves the chocolate one, but for that one and every sweet, the city must grow every ingredient and those are pretty scarce, considering where are we, almost no one knows how we get these ingredients here, but the truth is that every one of them was transmuted from other plants and animals, to make even one, we need 20 of a certain one, so the first days this process was expensive and almost gives us money problems, but we found out we could farm the seeds and this decreased the demand. It normalized with time, now we possess plants and some of the more meek animals from Earth, this stopped the consumption of human souls that the ancient demons do, this permitted the use of human spirits to work for us, as workers or slaves.

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
