Rohan Slick. That's my name. As for where I was on the First of July last year? I was mining some Oxydenium Ore. Inside The Acquired Vehemence Mines, for short; A.V.M.
I saw Demmarld Nen Smart enter the courtroom and tap his cane three times to signal his introduction. "All those present please rise. Remain standing for the duration of the defendant's first testimony. Thank you."
"First victim of the attack. Millage Kram. Please step forth. Begin relaying your own version of events, and let's see where the evening takes us."
"Okay. Well, that day, at around 9:30 AM, I had managed to procure some primary evidence of the blackmailing schemes. All plans and procedures had been carefully detailed -- blueprints and maps that were very meticulously planted, scheduled and ordered -- with the intent for the very last two actions to inevitably lead to my sister's downfall. My two daughters had previously selected two prime examples of forgery. These items were later handed to the officers that had been stationed seven blocks down the road."
"Could you please tell me more about that night -- such as the suspect's personality? What about his family? His abilities? Appearance?"
To start off I'd like to announce this; I know the name of the Kore-King Killer. But to arrive near that point, we have to go way back... the birth of my husband's stepsister... And how she gained immortality without gaining vampirism."

" Bonjour, ma chérie. Je n'ai pas pu dormir la nuit dernière. Je était resté éveillé. J'avais peur d'une embuscade."
"Ne faites pas attention à ça. Maintenant, nous devons commencer le rituel du sacrifice. Ensuite, nous pourrons nous adapter à la deuxième étape. C'est l'heure de la position hypnotique. Ça devrait t'aider à t'entraîner au Chi psychique."
"Où est l'enfant ? Toujours dans ton ventre?"
"Oui, Grashi, la fille est vivante. Mon estomac est presque rempli de sérum imprégnant."
"Très bien, alors. Il est temps de l'ouvrir."
"Aïe! Ça me pique la peau! ARRÊTE DE ME FAIRE DU MAL. S'IL VOUS PLAÎT. ARGH."
"ARRÊTE DE CRIER. ILS NOUS ENTENDRONT. CETTE NAISSANCE SE VOULAIT DISCRÈTE. CACHÉ AUX YEUX DE L'ORDRE."
Nine Minutes Later
"Enfin, c'est fini... merci Seigneur!"
"Eh bien? Vous voulez donner un nom à votre enfant?"
"Oui... Je vais l'appeler...."
"Quoi, ma chérie? Quel nom pour votre beau bébé?"
"A partir d'aujourd'hui, que ma reine soit connue sous le nom d'Arabia."
"Arabia. Ça a l'air délicieux. Et son nom de famille?"
"Son nom de famille ? Eh bien... Quintellwood. Quin pour quintuplet, c'est la cinquième. Prévenez ensuite pour information ou relais. Et du bois. Du bois pour sa gloire naturelle, ses feuilles qui soufflent dans la brise."
"Arabia Quintellwood."
"That was her name."
"Well, Kram, thank you for your preliminary testimony. All those standing, please be seated."
"And so it begins."
"Hey man. What's up?"
"Aahh, Samuel. Wassup?"
"Not much Hacker. What about you?"
"I'm busting mah own shots. I ain't afraid to tear up this whole block if I have to. Gonna find the adolescent freak."
"Which one? There are three of them."

"Aahh, we can forget about Manuel for now. And Arabia Wood is off limits. The Boss told me so himself. Nah, for now, let's take out the martial arts master."
"Well you'll have to be quick, buddy. Charlie's gonna move faster than a bullet."
"Oh, don't worry about that, Sam. Who needs guns to kill the boy when you have his family members?"
"What are you thinking about doing?"
"Naahh, I've already done that shit."
"DONE WHAT?! TELL ME NOW!!" The resounding echo of a torso colliding into concrete ripped through the alleyway.
A sadistic twist of the corner of Hacker's lip, now growing wider, was cut off prematurely by his own declaration of war.
"Paid him."
"Who did you pay, buddy? Please?"
"Markus. I paid Markus Fell."
"How much?"
"As much as Harrań gave me. And let me tell you... ahahahaha -- the payment was not voluntary."

Dungeons & Demons
*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042
