《Ishbula-na' (I've joined the family of the lord of the 7th ring of the Abyss, help!)》Chapter 3.5: "▓▓▓▓ ▓▓, ▓▓▓▓"

“Ishbula! Why isn’t Mike breathing! You were supposed to save him, why did you have to let him die!”
“▓▓ke ▓▓”
He cried on his knees over his friend’s body, the tears fell on his lifeless chest, which Jake hit over, and over, and over again in the hopes it’d start beating once more.
“He told me you could reverse time, then do it! If you can’t be the one to save him, I will be the one! Ishbula! do it, before it’s too late!”
“▓▓▓▓, ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓”
“No, no, no, this can’t be happening, you can’t leave me, brother, you were supposed to be there for me at my wedding, to godfather my child. You can’t do that from the grave, Mike! I’m speaking to you!”
“JAKE!”
Covered in sweat, Jake opened his eyes. The sheets were strewn over the floor, and the shirt he’d slept on was ripped in half. He had tears streaming down his face, yet he couldn’t remember what he’d just dreamed of. In front of him, Mike looked with a worried face. He heard thrashing and muffled screaming coming from the visitor’s room, and he found Jake like that once he opened the door. It had taken ten minutes for him to wake Jake up, who was struggling around and wouldn’t stay put.
He held Jake’s head with both hands, staring him square in the eyes. He looked shaken, still anxious about whatever he’d just dreamed of. With a shaky voice, he asked his best friend, “Jake, what happened? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Mike looked confused, but before long his eyes regained their shine, and he focused his gaze on his friend. His eyes drifted for a few seconds, as he tried to remember any detail about what had just happened, to no avail.

“Just a bad dream, must be a side effect of Ishbula-na’s naming”
Neither of them believed this statement, but both silently agreed to put the matter the rest for the moment, as no clear answer would be found out of the blue. Jake stood up before he felt dizzy and sat back down on the bed. His eyes became extremely sensitive to the daylight, and he could feel as if ten lightbulbs were pointed at each of his eyes. This feeling lasted for a few seconds, and it was gone as Jake shook his head from one side to the other.
“I’ll go take a shower, I still need to go to class”
Mike looked at him worried, he really seemed to want to say ‘Are you sure that’s the best idea?’, but decided against doing so, as he knew Jake could be a real pain once he decided on something.
“Just, be careful alright? Do you want me to join your classes incognito in case something happens?”
Jake smiled faintly, before shaking his head and standing up, before moving towards the door to the room. “It’s fine,” he said, "I'll be alright on my own".

Plague Doctor
The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence. Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean.

A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students.

The Lost Archon
One early spring afternoon, sixteen-year-old Reid is going for a walk when he finds a magical occurrence taking him to another world. A world where he is considered an impossible mage - and where he becomes ridiculously powerful quickly. Though he's happy for the adventures he can go on and the friends he makes, Reid also wants to find out how he got there and why, and if there's a way to return home to his parents. Reid's priorities in this new world are learning magic, going on a few adventures, dealing with his feelings for the cute wolfkin Terrence Windfang, and seek an audience with the gods. All but one of them, he finds, is significantly easier than he expected. This is a participant in the [April 2022 Royal Road Writathon Challenge]. The story is also concluded as of 4/26/2022. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP guy doing OP guy things. There will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure. 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story. Ever. 5) This story will not contain sexual content as it will end after Book 1. As such, Reid and his future boyfriend will never reach 18+ years of age in-story, so they will never have sex in the story. There will also be no harem in this story. 6) This is a part of the Royal Road April 2022 Writathon Challenge. 7) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
