- Platform Sector 7 -
"HELP! I CAN'T STOP THE TRAIN!" The screaming voice yells through the dark laboratory. The large 40-inch HD-screen showing the radius of the area.
"Boss, we are getting signals of a monster on the train." Eric lifts his glasses with his hand as he plays with his game console. "Should we go?". He asked in a careless manner.
Behind his back, there sits a young man dressed in a black blazer covering his white dress shirt. With black striped ties hanging on his neck matching his casual pants.
He lifts himself up and walks over to the enormous screen showing a field of the radiuses. He sighs.
"Unstoppable train, monster, and passengers. Looks like a power outage from the demon." His tone acted if this was his regular everyday job.
"Boss do we go?" Sarah chews on her gum as she cleans her katana with a cloth.
"Kill the monster, save the passengers, and please try not to destroy the train. Sector 7 go." His cold voice chills the temperature down. The door of the moving platform slides open as Eric and Sarah jumps out to the air.
"Kiva, we don't have the money to pay for that train!" Hana spoked in an exhausted tone.
Kiva sighs again, "I will go check on them, monitor us." Kiva jumps out of the flying platform and drops from the sky.
- Train -
"Little missy, I was looking for you" A nasty voice speaks as he throws his tongue out. The red lizard man lunges his claws against Alice. "Give it to me!".
White feathers surrounding Alice, protecting her against the rapid speed of attacks. Alice retreats, step by step, looking for an opening. "What is it that you want?" Alice asked in a gentle tone.

The claws increased its speed as his eyes turning bloody red. "The stone… give it…" His nasty voice deepens, becoming cold as ice.
Alice leaps back. – Command : Attack –
White feathers threw themselves against the lizardman, piercing through his body. Dark red blood bleeding, dropping down from his skin. The lizardman falls on the train platform, laying on his body.
Alice sighs, "Weakling shouldn't talk too much." She runs past the half-dead lizardman and checks on the passengers.
"Are you alright?" Alice reaches her hand out pulling the fallen lady up. The sound of claws scratching made Alice turn her head.
"The Berserker Rune!". The red lizard crawl himself up, he let out a scream forcing Alice to cover her ears. His body expanded into a muscular form and his height raising to 7 feet 3. He spilt out black blood onto the ground as he massaged his neck with his right hand.
White feathers attacked the red lizardman. Alice expression changes as the feathers were defected and knocked away.
"Hahaha! Missy, get ready." His nasty voices frighten the passengers. He steps and launches himself at Alice, claws ripping off the sleeve of her top. Small amounts of blood dripped from the wound,
"He's fast" Alice reacted to his speed, barely dodging the strike.
– Command: Protect – Feathers surrounds Alice, protecting her against the claws.
"Annoying, is that all you can do?" The claws become faster and the impact increased as Alice is forced back against the monster.
"Well, that's enough, let's end this." The red lizardman stopped attacking. "We lizardman has the ability to enhance our bodies and you have something that we want, I can smell it" – Metallic Claws –
His claws expanded into metal sharp blades and penetrated through the defensive feathers as he pounced himself forward. His sharp claws reached and scratch Alice's silver hair then strikes again with his other hand targeting her neck.

Alice panicked, although she has Athena's will and some of her memories, but herself never had much fighting experience. She raced through her mind, but in that split moment, to her knowledge, nothing would have worked.
As the sharp steel coming close to her neck, almost in contact and about to behead her. A massive amount of heat approaches them, a burning red aura of flames cuts the train apart along with the arm of the lizardman, causing a pressure that blew them into the air.
– Crescent Nova – A female's voice was heard.
There stands a young girl wearing a uniform with a mini-skirt under the bright sunlight. Pointing her katana to the one arm lizardman. "Ohhh, a demi-human." She stares into the lizard's eye, revealed the mark on the katana. "You are under arrest, so we either do this the hard way, or I will just kill you." Her childish tone felt like a death sentence to Alice and the monster.
"Guardians". The red lizard voice shatters and breaks down as he starts to crawl away from this girl.

Veiled
Sixteen-year-old Desirae Cradle knows how to survive in the human world, but knowing and doing are two different things. Until her mother disappeared under questionable circumstances, Desirae lived as part of a magical community kept secret from humans for more than 4,000 years. But not all of Desirae's people live on Earth. Some live in the Otherworld, exiled there after an ancient war. They are known as the Faye and still seek a way back to Earth. With feelings of abandonment, and no other family among her kind, Desirae makes her way in the human world using the only skill she has-knowing how to cross between Earth and Otherworld. But when a crossing goes bad, Desirae has to do something she swore she never would - go back home. Determined to not only fix her mistake but to mend old friendships, Desirae returns to the community she abandoned. But the Faye are after more than she thought. With lingering questions about what really happened to her mother and the discovery that her friends have changed even more than she has, Desirae finds that stopping the Faye and regaining her friend's trust might not be as easy as she hoped. This is a completed work, approx 75,000 words. I’m just editing chapter by chapter and posting as I finish them.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
