《Those Feared By The Gods》Chapter 1: Prologue
Advertisement
Hammering of anvils resounds in our mountain home~
Size of a hobbit, strength of a manticore~
Deep in the darkness, striking until we break our bones~
We fight, feast and drink our Mead, oh bless the mountain king!~
--------
Walking in a mountain range, a group of small postured humanoids are on a mission to scout.
“Hey, Kandar, how is the wife?” Asks one of them to the other.
“She's the same old grumpy woman I married 11 years ago” replies the humanoid called Kandar.
Whahahahahahahaha!
Loud laughter comes from the group.
“Boss, when are you going to marry? If you wait too long, you'll be too old for anyone to want you.” Asks Kandar
“You know I hate being called Boss. Just call me Batner like everyone else. And I just haven't found the girl of my dreams yet.” Replies the “Boss” Batner
The cheerful squad continues talking and laughing while continuing their mission
-------
“Wheeeeh~” “wheeeeh~”
Somewhere deep in the mountain range, the crying of a child is heard.
“Wheeeeh~” “wheeeeh~”
“Shhhh, quiet! I hear something!” Whispers Batner while holding his hand up
The loud squad instantly quiets down, as if they were professionals
-Absolute Silence-
For a moment, nothing but the wind and some small animals are heard. Even the breathing of the squad is completely masked. But a moment later…
“Wraaaaaaaahgh!”
A loud cry of a beast is heard!
“Split up, Dahtom formation[1]” whispers Batner
The squad nods, silently yet swiftly splitting into 3 groups
The squad looks at Batner, and when he gives a nod, all rush forwards.
Two groups each swiftly sneak over the left and right flank, while the third rushes not quietly at all straight to the objective.
After a small while, they arrive at a clearing of the mountain forest, where a beast is circling something
“Mhph, a Gradfir[2], just as I thought” says Batner
“Chargeeeeeeeeee!” The warcry of the fierce mountain warriors resounds!
[1]a formation where two “arms” “dig” into the enemy from the sides while the “blind head” rushes in
[2]A bestiary is being made while the story goes on. I will post a link with the bestiary once more beasts become known in the story

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
