《Tails of life》POV Jeffrey James
Advertisement
As they drive away I look at my house with dread. As I walk up the house I look in the window at my earring it's a little low on power but should be enough to get to bed. As I use my telekinesis to open the door I go in and use my back paw to shut the door. I think to myself this form is not so bad it does have its ups and downs like one of the upsides is I don't have to use the bathroom anymore the downside I can't give hugs anymore.
"Hello, Jeff is that you" yes mom it's me "oh thank God you are not hurt that video of the mall looks scary." Don't worry I was not near there. "That's good now come and get some dinner." As I went in I sat down I had to focus because I had to move my illusion and telekinesis at the same time. As they put a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of me. I started to eat slowly watching the illusion pick up the fork and bring it to my mouth the taste and texture were very interesting.
"So how was your first day before that event?" It was nice except for the attack that hurt a lot. "WHAT! do you mean by that?" I aww mean that it hurt not to finish my first day. "Ok well finish your dinner then take a shower and go to bed."
As I finish my dinner I helped clean up and I head to the shower and shut the door I jump in and turn the water on I start to lather up when a knock came on the door but I was humming a song to myself. "Hey Jeff" I stood the in shock yes "I just want to say I'm happy that you are safe and sound at home now." Thanks "by the way what is that smell" it's my new shampoo "well it smells musty like a wet dog."
As she leaves I get out and dry myself off and toss it in the laundry basket and put the illusion back on and went up to my room. As I get in I lock the door and take the earring out and open the computer and turn it on to stream a show as I lay in bed it starts to get late I closed the computer.

I hopped off the bed and left my room and brush my teeth as I leave a hear a glass hit the floor as I looked in the direction of the noise I see my mom standing there looking at something. Then I look at myself oh shit I forgot it I thought to myself I walk towards her mom calm down it's me, Jeffrey, as she fell to the floor. I run and catch her before she hits the floor.
As I bring her to her room I put her in her bed and leave. I get in my room start kicking thing son of a bitch how did I forgot the illusion now I have to tell her.
As I'm walking around my room "excuse me" as I look up mom "are you a monster?" Yes, I'm a monster. "Are real my son Jeffrey?" As I look at her she takes a step back from me "are you Jeffrey answer me please."
As I start to cry yes I'm Jeffrey I'm your son I did not what you to find out like this. As she moves closer to me I back away. Please don't come near me I can't do this I don't what to hurt you anymore then I have. "You are my son you can't hurt me" yes I could I'm a monster.
As she put her hands on my head "it's really is real fur and dog ears with paws and a tail." I know I look like this I'm so sorry I did not tell you. "I'm still a little scared of you but at least we can still talk to each other." Hey on the bright side at least I have a vet as a mom.
"Right you are now let’s get some sleep." As she looks at me before leaves "goodnight" goodnight. As the morning came I get up and put the earring in and active the illusion then head downstairs. As I went into the kitchen I found mom there cooking morning "morning" and how are you this morning?
"I'm fine but I had the weirdest dream I dreamed you had become a wolf monster is it funny." That was not a dream mom "of course it was because if you are a monster I would know." As she looks over at me I had taken down the illusion. See it was not a dream.....thud then everything went dark.

As I open my eyes look around as my head hurts. I'm in the basement with a collar around my neck and I was tired up to a pole. "So you are a monster trying to pass as my son." What no I'm your son. As I feel a poke "I just gave you a muscle relaxer you won't be able to move for a while." Why are you doing this mom it's me your son Jeffrey "there is no way you can be my son my son is human."
I lay on the floor I could not move as mom stands over me. She touches my paw, tail, teeth, and ears. "What is this an earring?" It's a monster ID its called a band please just let me explain. "You're just buying time till you can get away I will not listen to your lies." Then a knock came to the front door "who could it be at that be" as she left.
I just lay there on the floor as the tears kept falling from my eyes as my heart felt like it was breaking. "Hello, who is it? "It's me Esmond is Jeffrey here?" "No he's not here I'm sorry" Esmond I'm here help me awwwooo as I howled out I hear him push pass mom "Jeff I'm coming."
As he comes downstairs "oh my God jeff what happened?" Behind you as mom came behind him with a needle "so you are bewitched by this monster you think he's my son too." Esmond jumps forward and turns "why are you doing this to him?"
"He is an unholy beast he must be purified with holy light" your a church member "I was shown the light and now I will purify all monsters." As Esmond leans down he drops his illusion and breaks the chains "can you stand?" No, she drugged me." "So you're a monster too I'm so happy now I can bring then two." As Esmond picks me up I look into mom's eyes it was like she was not there.
Esmond, we need to get out of here but please don't hurt her. "I'll try not too" as she jumped off the stairs at us Esmond dodges her and hits her in the head. Esmond! "What I did not hurt her that bad." "What where em I way dose my head hurts." As we turn to look at her "what the hell are you" as she backs away from us.
Mom is that you? "Jeff is that you?" As we hear a car pull up there was a knock on the door "Mrs.James opened the door we are from the church." "Oh, shit we need to leave now" as he grabs mom we run to the back door. We run out as they break down the front door.
Esmond took us to his house Esmond won't people see you "no I have an illusion of a fluffy cloud." Since when can you do that "I'm still training but Hoshi showed last night." As we started talking we completely forgot about my mom as we land in Esmond back yard. "Sorry, Mrs.James I did not mean to be so ruff with you." "I don't know what is going on here but please don't eat me." We are not going to eat you mom "why do you just call me mom I'm a human, not a wolf monsters." "We have a lot to talk about let us go inside."

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things
8 218The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?
