《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.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
