As we got out "now listen to me you two as soon as work is done go right home Esmond I want you to walk Jeff home ok" yes I will "good now have a good day at work." As we walk into the mall we head for the video game store called Vgames.
"Hello, how may I help you today." Hi, we're here for our first day "oh you're the two new hires come with me to the back" as we followed her to the back "this is our manager Tony Newton" "hello you must be Esmond and Jeffrey right?" Yes "yes it's nice to meet you" same "alright now that is out of the way what size uniforms do you need as we just looked at each other "I'll take a large please" I'll take an XXL, please.
"Are sure I think you would be a large but if you want it XXL ok." As he handed out the shirts we unfold them "I'll leave for a moment so you can put them on." As he leaves we both turn off our illusion I slip my on and it was super tight "it looks like a fat guy wearing a shirt two sizes too small hahaha." It's not fat its fur. "I know that can you come here and help me," I thought you had telekinesis "I do but I need more practice" as someone knocked on the door "are you guy done?" just a minute as I go his two front legs in the armholes we active the illusion again we're done thank you.
"All right come this way, so your job is to keep this place stocked and organized as he brings us to the stock room. As he showed us around and told us what to do after that he left. As the afternoon went by it was break time. We went to the food court and got some food. When there was a scream as we looked around we see a man in a white hooded robe running away.

As we look in the direction he ran from a monster appeared it was a Griffin one of the most classic monsters anyone can recognize it, but something was off about it. It started wrecking the place without a care in the world it even throws some people. As people started to run away from it there were some people trapped by the Griffin I don't know what came over me but I stand up and deactivated my illusion "Esmond what are you doing?" someone needs to help them.
I ran at the Griffin as I jumped into the air I slammed into its side as I hit into the wall I look over at the people I told the to run now as they started to ran away one other stop "whoever or whatever you are thank you" as the Griffin got up it hit me with its tail I fly into the table "Esmond!" as he runs up to me that hurt and don't call me Esmond when I look like this "what do you mean that your name?" we came up with fake names when we in monster form.
As a table came flying at me I roll out of the way "what is wrong with him?" I don't know but it's like it's in a crazed state. And by the way, call me Kage when I look like this ok "ok how can I help?" we need to keep him here till MID arrives. I'll call you Oris for now "ok" as we jumped out of the way of another table.
Alright, you go for its back legs and I see if I can knock it out. As we started to attack it there were still some people hiding under the table I yelled out to Oris "what Kage?" we still have some humans here get them to safety "ok" as I look over he's trying to help an old man walk away with the man leaning on him I jump at the Griffin as I hit the front leg there was a snapping sound as it cried out in pain.

As I land it swapped at me with it other paws as I dodge it bits my arm with its bird beak and I hear the bone in my arm snap as I growled out in pain I jabbed my claws into its eye. As I’m through into Jeff "that hurt are you ok?" I think my arm is broken and there's a pain in my chest hows the evacuation going.
"Good if people would stop asking questions" well this is a first for everyone. We look as we hear wings flapping the Griffin was above us as It lands we dodge but we heard a cry from a table next to us there was a little girl there. Oris, I'll get the girl you pin it down "how I don't how to fight and I'm scared of it that thing is bigger than me" we are fast then it and you've trained with mom cast a spell.

Deathless Dungeoneers
An underrated dungeon. A determined dungeoneer. One chance for a new start. Since the moment Rhen delved his first dungeon, he’s wanted nothing more than to own one himself. When a tiny plot pops up in the Dungeon Owner’s Guild, Rhen decides to take a leap of faith and realize his dream. Rhen soon discovers the little dungeon has a lot more to offer than the Guild previously assessed. Now, rival dungeon owners are breathing down Rhen’s neck for snatching up all the delvers in town, envious his wild luck and the success he’s built from it. To keep his dungeon safe, and profitable, Rhen must acquire enough dungeoneers for a raid group and unlock the ultimate wealth: the nexus node. If he can’t power the nexus node with the dungeon’s limited energy, his venture could be over before it’s even begun, and his dreams of founding a new realm a faded memory.
8 332Arnar the Dungeon
Arnar is a dungeon core. Everybody knows dungeons are evil, man-eating entities hell-bent on killing and absorbing whatever wanders inside their depths. The problem is no one ever told him that. Well, the truth is no one ever told him anything and he refused powers-that-be when they tried to make him into the proper dungeon. That should teach them not resurrect people into dungeon cores. Now it is too late. He has a perfect plan to become the best dungeon on the continent and nothing will stand in his way. Especially something called common sense. Disclaimer of sorts: I am non-native English writer that used to write mostly for himself. After my last computer decided to die on me taking all my works with it I lost the desire to write for quite a long time. This is my attempt to go find motivation to write again as this was my favourite hobby. The idea is to be held accountable. As for being non-native, I don't believe that should be a major issue as I feel my proficiency in English to be sufficient enough to not be too much of the distraction. That said, be forewarned that the rules governing punctuation are beyond my grasp. All I can do is try not to completely suck at that. As mentioned this is an attempt to motivate me to write again so any message, encouragement or constructive criticism will go long way.

8 144Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...

8 106The Universe In My Mind
Ever since Jason Reven became aware of the world around him, he had a whole universe in his mind. It was incredible and he was always interested in it, until one day he tried something even he thought was crazy and it shockingly worked. I will also be posting this story on a few other sites like scribblehub under the same name.
8 70The Swarm
The Swarm – a world spanning empire – feared by everything and everyone. Endless glory and food to all! No sickness, no poverty, no depression and no allies. Truly, the perfection of life! However, nothing lasts forever; not even the Swarm... The cowardly major races teamed up in an unprecedented alliance to fight the Swarm, but even that was not enough. What brought true doom to the Swarm came from the inside: a high-ranking General’s betrayal! An action that was more shocking than all the other races putting their differences aside and joining together. The Swarm’s strength came from their unity and this shook them to the core. The various Kings and Queens led their armies separately as a result, nullifying their greatest advantage – numbers! Only when the war was all but lost, did the Swarm finally reunite again for one last stand. Afterwards, only one Queen survived, and she would do anything to restore the Swarm to its former glory – even asking one of those 'Gods' for help. To reform the Swarm, a new leader must arise. No, not just any leader – the Emperor must return!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other stories by me: World of Conquest: http://www.royalroadl.com/fiction/1513Slime Hero Saga: http://www.royalroadl.com/fiction/1415Hunter, Adam Hunter.
