《To Truly Be Immortal》The Reckoning
Advertisement
Chapter 1
He had killed too many to count, the blood of millions on his hands, all in his pursuit of power.
He had overcome the higher gods, now he has finally reached the staff of creation, but there is one more obstacle in his way, the Oracle.
She held the staff in hands that looked as if they were an ancient oaks gnarled limbs A hood covered her face, but under that hood, he could see bright blue eyes, glowing with contempt and perhaps a bit of sympathy.
She raised the staff above her head and before he could move, she slammed it against the ground and shouted “You who have shattered the balance of the Nine, you who have killed many that death was not ready for, you who have slain gods, I curse thee thrice; First, you shall suffer as the ones you wronged have suffered. Second, you shall wander with no place to call home. Third, you shall be cursed with true immortality, undying, unending, and unfaltering immortality.”
He shouted “No, you can not do this to me! I traveled a path many told me was impossible, I killed the unkillable, and I conquered the unconquerable, I will not have this taken away by an old hag!”
He lunged forward, with a speed that shattered reality, and brought his staff down on her only for it to be reflected by a wall of energy in his rage he took no notice of this and continued to attack her.
With a clap of thunder he vanished, the only thing left of his passing was the scars on the terrain and the old woman. That once mighty figure on her knees coughed and slowly crawled to her feet, staring into the distance.
On the lowest world, a hollow formed deep within a mountain, just large enough for a single man.

In that hollow a figure appeared, completely immobile.
The figure had striking features, Hair black as the night sky with small twinkling specks of silver, skin pale as if it hadn’t seen the sun in years, pale lips, a slim yet well-muscled physique, and an outwardly calm appearance.
Inside this man’s head was a completely different story.
She ran as fast as she could from the man who had come to be known as the Slayer, for he had slain creatures no mortal should approach.
Now the Slayer has turned on village he had sworn to protect.
She held her child close to her chest and shouted; "Inspect!" the status of her child appeared before her

Seeing that her daughter was still safe she quickly hid under a table only for it to be removed by the Slayer who readied his quarterstaff and struck out killing the child in an instant.
with this, she wailed and attempted to hit him only to be killed.

My current release schedule here on royalroad, is every other Sunday at 1PM MST Chapter 28 is delayed, I am working on it still. What with the heavy snow coming to my area, so long as I don't lose power, I intend to be writing. I apologize to those following this story for the delay.

The Complete Alchemyst book 2
Continuation of the Alchemyst book 1 Sometimes to be the good guy, you gotta be the bad guy. This is a story about Louis, a guy that was just trying to get along before he got kidnapped and forced to play cook by a Cartel. He's no Heisenberg, however. Now that he's out of Prison and put a beat down on some of the folks that put him away, he's facing the real pressures of Life as a single-person superpower: Everyone wants to use him for their own purposes. Along the way he's met a few girls, some good, some bad. He's looking to save the world, establish an evil empire, secure a future for the people he considers his, and maybe finally kill that damned superhero that started it all. This is not 'the boys'. Not all superheroes or supervillains are evil, The 'super' world is expanding to include aliens, magic, and the children of ancient deities and legends. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.

Elemental Heir | ✔️
(Complete) **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #1 in the Elemental Heir Series. "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own.I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation."Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw.I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice.I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder.My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body.*~*~*~*~*~*~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~*~*~*~*~*~*⚠️!!

Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary. Questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for supporting me! |||| Story is finished, just getting into a publishing schedule on Royal Road for the first time. ||
