《TARGUM: The Architects Of Pride》Chapter 26. Body and Soul
Advertisement
He woke with a rush of apprehension. Today would be his last in this failing body. His sleep had been troubled. Due, in most part to his weakening bladder. The pain in his, irreparably, dragon- torn leg had survived many attempts at regen. The warden had pushed the boundaries of his science to get him to this point. There was no more Godfrey could endure. It was time to leave this raddled form and transfer his being...his soul into a new body.
After a few attempts to roll towards the grab bar, he managed to hoist himself to a sitting position. The personal server bot had picked out his clothes for the day and was ready to fetch, carry or perform any suitable action that Godfrey may need. Dressing slowly, he began to imagine what it would be like to be normal again. Without all this hullabaloo. The thought kept him going. At the end of the day, he rarely had to look at his face and if it changed he would be almost none the wiser. The face that looked back at him out of the mirror may take some getting used to. It was his friends that he felt for. How would they react to a 'new Godfrey'? It was time to grab some breakfast and put some redundant eggs benedict into his soon to be discarded broken shell. He would in a strange way miss using his mind-scooter. It had become a familiar and trusted friend.
At breakfast, Waldorf, as usual, made light of the enormity of the day.
"I am going to miss you, old-timer. Could you pick a body that doesn't fart and belch quite as much this time. Sometimes the smell is quite disconcerting."
Beneath the humour, Godfrey could sense his friends' discomfort. He could see him looking out of the corner of his eyes. Wondering what it would be like to spend time with an unfamiliar face looking back. He would just have to get used to it. It was for the best. It was not as if he was ever going to die or anything, just change, and be able-bodied.

Godfrey finished his toast. Waldorf had sensed the gravity of the moment and kept any other jolly japes to himself.
Godfreys server-bot drifted noiselessly into the dining room. It stopped at his feet. Waiting patiently.
"It is time," Godfrey said.
"Would you like me to be there for you old-timer?"
"Yes. I would appreciate that very much. Thank you." Dread stung his eyes.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
