《He-Thing and the Cabal of the Cosmos》The Long Reach of the Nineteen Hells
Advertisement
He-Thing fell.
Upon his impact into the planet,
the earth shot
mammoth shards of rock,
and thick,
sea-sized clouds of soil
high into the air,
in an explosion
of cosmic vehemence
that rivaled
the Omniverse’s
greatest supernovas.
Downward
into the planet Infinia
He-Thing crashed,
his rate of speed
so incredible,
that not even the
awesome and eternal power
of the last world in the Omniverse
could stop his descent.
Through the crust he drilled,
rocks
bludgeoning his bones,
dirt
pulverizing his flesh,
through the residues of the ages,
through ancient civilizations
whose marrows
had yet to be discovered,
whose ghosts
had yet to even
whisper.
He-Thing reached
the mantle of the planet,
his body burning with friction,
his skin on fire,
his eyeballs boiling,
his mullet flaming,
on a path of reverse flight
into the liminal edges
of the Nineteen Hells.
Oh, the creeping touch
of those infernal Hells,
whose reach was long —
should you falter!
And He-Thing
flew also into fear,
for it had not been since
the prior Omniverse,
before the terrible Linearity
freed possibility
for infinite infinities,
that anyone had ventured
into the Nineteen Hells
and returned.
The mantle broke loose,
and
He-Thing cannonballed
into an underground cavern
of vast proportions,
at the bottom of which lay
towering pillars of fire,
lakes of blood,
and undulating hosts
of demons
that were watching He-Thing
with foul,
obscene hungers,
as they waited to receive
this great gift.
He-Thing instinctively
reached back
for the destroyed
Nebule Blade,
but realized
he was not weaponless,
for even a man had teeth
to bite and tear,
and hands to choke,
and he would need both
to battle this unparalleled torment.
Once he landed
in the writhing pile,
He-Thing battled
for his life and his soul,
his fiendish foes
biting at him with their fangs,
tearing at him with their claws,
and beckoning him
with their infinite evil.
Until
a sound,
that could only herald
one thing —
a sorcery-powered
lasercopter.
Zolantos,
Merciless Cripple,
along with his
adopted daughter,
the chaste huntress
Vaila,
perilously piloted
a glimmering lasercopter
through the burning tunnel
He-Thing had drilled
in his fall into
the Nineteen Hells,
flying to the rescue
of his eternal student.
to be continued...

Pokemon Animus
Our story begins 20 odd years after the events of the animes, manga, and games. Now don't worry, we'll explore all the regions. However, not everything translates so cleanly into a more realistic setting, while other things just get better. No convenient inventory systems. That Pidgy ain't flying anyone anywhere, and your Bagon can't call meteors from the sky. The realities of the food chain trumps any children's media restrictions. Nearly all the mythics and legendries, can't feasibly be one of a kind. Shinys come in all varieties. Research has advanced in some areas, for good or ill. All the evil organizations that were yesterdays news have splintered apart, remnants lurk in shadow. Your favorite characters have all grown older, some have had children, others may have even died. Towns prosper or fall, new gyms start up while others might close down. New Champions have been crowned, new Leagues have formed! The Next Generation is starting their journey. Now, Dimensional portal shenanigans are nothing new to the pokemon world, But... Kurt, is. Sure, some folks might raise a brow at a 30ish year old man that should probably be in an action movie rather than the Hoenn Rookie League, but Kurt's ready for adventure. He might also wish he played more than the first two games... or remembered anything about himself.

In a world overrun with hordes of undead, a small fortress stood as one of the last bastions of the living. The soldiers in the garrison were aware of the undead closing on them and understood their outlook was grim. Rem had prepared himself alongside his comrades for the incoming attack when he was abruptly summoned into another world. Now Rem is able to use magic for the first time in his life as part of a strange system inherent in his new home, and his daily plans mostly consist of finding a guild quest monster, stabbing it in the face and profiting. His prospects have improved, and he has the opportunity to live a relatively normal life in the pursuit of comfort and happiness! This is the story of Rem not doing that.---Note: There will be traumatizing content and progression is not the central aspect of this story. On Hiatus - added a note at the end of Chapter 8.

- HIATUS - One chilly spring morning, the world begins to shift. Suddenly, five individuals find themselves in possession of more potential than they can imagine, and are left trying to find their place in a rapidly changing world. The world is changing, but into what? This story follows Chris and four other humans as they reenter the world as harbringers of the system, dragging chaos in their wake. Edit: I wrote myself into a corner with this one, and its only after taking a writing class that I realize where I went wrong, and it needs a complete rewrite from the top. I considered taking it down, but i'm going to leave it up as a reminder to myself to plan out my magic systems a little better.
