《The Scratchers Among Us》Chapter 11 - The Plot Thickens
Advertisement
When everyone met back up in security Lilly noticed Potato was not there. Lilly was not that concerned considering Potato usually was late on the first day of school but the little piece of her mind in the back of her brain was telling her that something was wrong, but Lilly didn’t know what it was. She sat there ignoring everything that the others said, wondering what was wrong. She felt that something was fishy and it had to do with one of the crewmates but she didn’t know what. She decided she’d investigate but a few moments later she pushed the thought back to the back of her head as she tried to to concentrate on what everyone else was saying. Skelly ran to them with a skip on his step and said “I finished all my tasks, all but in medbay! Anyone wanna watch me come scan? Sterlon? Alyelle? Lilly?” Sterlon replied with a frightened look on his face “Last time I did that I was betrayed and that’s how I got here! I don’t want to die again!” Skelly had a questioning look on his face. Lilly expected that he was thinking about what Sterlon could mean. Skelly was the first one to be sent here so he hadn’t been there when Lilly had killed Sterlon back when this was all just a game. Lilly told everyone she had a few more tasks to finish and headed towards electrical to see if Potato was still working on wires. She knew that it wouldn’t take that long to finish that task, it was THAT easy so she was now extra worried. “What if Potato was killed by Kaj?” The Cafeteria was close to electrical so maybe Kaj had seen him and… she didn’t want to think about it anymore and when she reached the room she was in horror to see that Potato wasn’t there. She had a weird feeling that she thought she knew where Potato was… and he wasn’t alive.

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021
