《Red Beans》8.
Advertisement
It is a week later and we are walking back to her apartment from Shopkeep’s place. Today, we eat steamed buns. She calls them ‘pau.’ Mine has red beans in it. Maybe I really do like red beans.
“Are you sure the investor isn’t angry?” I ask, making smalltalk.
“If that’s your attempt at smalltalk again, it’s failing miserably.” She takes a bite out of her bun.
“Oh…” I clear my throat. “That being said, are they angry?”
“Not really.” She shrugs. “I have a feeling they weren’t excited to see my work anyway. It’s like they didn’t believe in the practice - they didn’t believe in me. And their belief in me would have been what secured me money, right? So without that, no money. What’s done is done.”
“What’s done is done…” The phrase tastes bitter in my mouth. But she nudges me, breaking me away from some negative thoughts.
“Hey.” She stops me and we are there, standing on the sidewalk. Children run by and a man is selling skewers of grilled meat from the back of a motorcycle on the next corner. “What you did is protect me. Which is what you were supposed to do.” She resumes walking and I stumble to catch up with her. “The world isn’t quite ready for technology-based homunculi. Who knew.”
“What’s important is that you’re okay, though. Creating life is no joke - I’m surprised you had come so far in such a short amount of time.”
“But it wasn’t enough. What to do?” She sighs. “It’s my own fault for taking on such an ambitious project. But I was so desperate for the funding…”
“And desperation makes us do crazy things.” I pat her shoulder. “Trust me, I would know.”

“Is desperation what drove you to commit treason against hell?”
“I have nothing against hell. I’d never do that.” I chuckle softly. “But Demonrealm… well…”
Her eyes widen. “No way! Is that why?”
“Well…”
“You gotta tell me! You gotta!”
“Do I really ‘gotta’? Is that it?”
“Yeah, man!”
“Well…” I begin, and her eyes visibly sparkle. “I don’t gotta. In fact, all documentation states that I am to protect you, not disclose my tragic backstory.”
“What…?! That’s so… You’re so…”
“Cruel? I am a demon, after all.”
“... Is this the part where I say that I’m ‘your girl?’”
“It does sound better than ‘your savior.’”
“... It does.”

My Little Abomination
The My Little Abomination books are a series of grimoires designed to contain the any insanity-inducingly cute creatures called as Baby Eldritch Abominations. Nobody knows where the books come from but DAMN, THOSE THINGS ARE CUTE. And for some reason, once it had sealed something in it, a complete care manual is magically written... But why? Because, plot! I dont really care about my readers so I'm pasting this unedited. Well, have fun eating my shit~! I colored the illustration on my cover but the drawing was picked up by OutOfThis. I LOVE YOU, WEEEEIII!!! I WOULD LOVE IF YOU LAY MY EGGS FOR ME! And who is this Wei? Some person from Inked. Ah, don't get triggered on this novel because besides from posting them unedited, I did the chapters in 30 mins! I spend the other 30 min being distracted as I write author's notes. This series also parodies many things, mainly Pokémon and has tentacle rape undertones, viewer discretion is adviced...

8 97The Dragon's Champion
Erik Lokton's training at Kuldiga Academy is cut short when a prophecy comes to light that names him as The Dragon's Champion. He is forced to flee as secret covens emerge to destroy him before he can find a cure for Nagar's Blight, a curse that left the Middle Kingdom bereft of dragons centuries earlier and would enslave any dragon foolish enough to come within its grasp. With the help of a master swordsman and a sorceress said to have gotten her powers in a secret pact with demons, Erik will have to stay one step ahead of warlocks and assassins if he is to find the key to fulfilling his destiny. The trouble is, Erik isn’t sure he is the Champion spoken of in the prophecy, and if he chooses to follow the path laid out for him, it will mean risking his family as nobles feud over control of the realm amidst the chaos.
