BATAN!!!
The golem is knocked into one of the tallest skyscrapers of Pira Attis, making it topple into smaller buildings behind it. The golem's armor has begun to crack, showing that the fire tone inside is getting weaker.
The guitar solo starts, and flames begin to erupt from the golem's cracks.
(Seems he isn't done yet!) I think.
(Stop this!) Riva thinks.
(Don't interfere!)
The golem curls up into a boulder and rolls towards me. I cannot risk letting it roll through me in my gaseous state, so I send some of my snakes forward to create a barrier. I cannot die, but I will get tired if I have to continue summoning more snakes.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Before colliding with unaffected buildings, the golem uncurls itself, grabs the section that all my heads share, then suplexes it.
BATAN!!!
Grabbing as many heads the golem's two hands can hold, it moves as fast as it can towards the sea, dragging the heads through the ground as it goes.
And with all its might, the golem tosses me to the edge of the sea where Sutoria's previous concert was held.
"No more obstructions..." the man's voice echoes, "and no more mercy!"
BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The golem's legs break, replacing them with volcano-like eruptions that propel the golem up like a rocket. At a certain height, they stop...
And the golem curls into a ball once more.
"THE FINAL BLOW!!! FIRE DRIVE: GOLIATH METEOR!!!!!"
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Upon collision, the ground shakes violently while the golem explodes in flames. After the debris and flames disappear, all that remains is a large crater, half filled with sea water, with a pile of solid magma covering the man in the golem.

At least, that's what it immediately looks like.
The yakuza members who watched the spectacle, as well as many of the citizens still in the city, remain dumbfounded at the battle they witnessed. The Keisetsu members, on the other hand, head to the crater.
"Tamashi!" Clara yells.
"He's over there!" Sigka replies, pointing to a pile of magma after smelling the air.
As they dig out their ally, they find Tamashi's head first.
"Well...how did I do?" he asks.
"Good." says Sigka. "I think it's..."
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
"It's not over yet!" I yell...
As my hydra form, now significantly bigger in size, erupts from the ocean.
"WHAT!?" cries Katsumi. "How did...!?"
The snakes I have are injured, so I make them bite each other to have new heads replace the old ones.
But in doing so, I reveal my weakness.
!!
"Wha!? Where's the main head!?!?!?" Sigka yells.
That's right. To kill a hydra, they have to kill the main head. But in its place is a cloud of mist. Where is it? In the theatre with Sutoria. This is taxing on my rhime, and the "head" in the theatre cannot create more snakes without the rest of the body, but no matter how strong they are, I cannot die this way.
"This is the end!!!" I yell through one of the heads.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I send two of my largest new snakes towards the Kei...
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And my snakes are turned to ash...
By black flames.
"It...can't be!" Katsumi yells.
All the Keisetsu members turn around to look at the top of the crater and see a man even I recognize.
Hisao.
"This fight concerns the entire Keisetsu, and you wanted me to stay behind?" Hisao asks, walking down the crater.

"Never thought I'd see you in person." I say. "Hell's Kulshedra, wielder of the black flame that can turn anything to ash."
"I'd be flattered, if I didn't hate you so much for what you've done to my family."
"Overprotective, grandpa?"
"And now you're making me angrier!!!"
I pause, then have all my snake heads "laugh" in unison.
"A chance to fight you, after all this time! Show me! Show me the power I've given you!"
(What're you saying?) Riva thinks.
...
"I see." Hisao says. "So it is you."
"You knew Hunter?" Hiromu asks.
"Not THIS Hunter, but yes."
(Guess our assumption was correct.) Hisao thinks.
(Indeed. This is awkward.)
Hisao sighs.
"Let's end this once and for all!" he yells. "Outcross to outcross! Let's go, Apis!!!!"
(Right!)
Black flames begin to circle around Hisao and...

Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.

Unknown Fate's End
The ancient's believed that a man's fate or destiny is written already, and that only God or maybe the Gods could change it. If they did change it, it was believed it was for a purpose unknown to that man or for maybe for the ammusement of those higher beings. However, whether that is true or not, one thing is for certain. Changing a man's fate will create a ripple of changes. Join our hero, who whether by luck, by some divine intervention, or by his own choice, separated from the fate that he shared with his fellow earthlings. Watch him struggle in his new world. Watch him grow. Watch him learn. Watch him walk a path oustside what destiny has for him. FYI: The magic concept in this story is high fantasy with involvement of polytheistic religions and demons. There will be a mix of GameLit style writing mixed with traditional magic novel style writing. The plot developement will be slow in the first volume, as I will focus on world building and character building. The main character will not be OP immediately and will develop into one in his own way over time. This series is built less like modern Japanese, Korean, and Chinese webnovels and more like the old school fanstasy novels like DND and Forgotten Realms.
