《Ping Pong King》Chapter 9 - Night Raid Final Part

But his response was several arrows flying towards his head. Tor rolled to his side and scrambled up. He seethed with anger and was about to charge forward when a rock smacked into his chest, exploding in the process. The power of the rock forced him back a few steps, his chest still stung from the damage. Tor rubbed his chest and growled. Nile was right, these intruders were strong.
"Nile! Help me out here!" Tor shouted as he looked behind him...but Nile was not there. "Nile! Bitch! You dare to abandon me! I'll skin you alive and make boots out of you!"
"Is it alright for you to look elsewhere?" Janet roared as she charged from the shadows and smashed her shield into Tor.
Tor grunted from the charge as he was knocked flying back and out of the castle. Janet positioned herself in front of the doors and held her shield and hammer up in a defensive stance. Tor looked at the armored woman, observing her every movement. Suddenly, water missiles shot from behind Janet. Tor jerked back at the sight of the water missiles. He was lucky enough to dodge the projectiles, but what he did not expect was that arrows were hiding behind the water missiles. Although the water missiles missed their target, the arrows however were able to penetrate Tor's legs and thighs.
Tor grunted as he tried to stand, his legs trembling violently as his strength seeped out from under him. Blood trickled out from his wounds. He knew that he can't pull the arrows out for fear of faster blood loss. Bearing through the pain, Tor tried to walk forward. But, unexpectedly, his legs went numb and he collapsed. He couldn't feel his legs...this sensation...poison!
"Cowards! Using poison...kuh!" Tor shouted in frustration and pain.

"That's right. Pine here can use poison, but it's not like he isn't allowed to use them. After all, there is no cowardly moves in battle only cunning strategies." XiYang replied as he walked out from the shadows and towards the fallen demon. Pine, Risa, and Janet followed close behind.
Tor eyed the approaching XiYang. He hoped this human would continue walking towards him...after all, he had a trump card up his sleeve. To be defeated like this, it seemed he was investigated thoroughly. However, no matter how thorough, these intruders definitely do not know of his most secret skill that he did not show anyone even in the demon army. Tor continued to stare intensely at the human...until finally, he looked straight into the eyes of the human and smirked.
When XiYang was approaching the collapsed demon leader, he noticed the demon was staring hard at him...could he have something up his sleeve? Or was he scared? As he continued walking towards the demon, the demon suddenly looked straight at him...a sneer appeared on his face. Not good! This demon must have a trick up his sleeve. XiYang reached for his paddle and prepared for an incoming attack of some sort.
A fireball shot out from Tor's mouth. This was Tor's secret move...and most dangerous move. The fireball uses the flames of his life...in other words, it uses his life force to power up and form the fireball. The fireball blasted towards the human. Tor grinned in victory as he saw the other intruders' panicked eyes...but when he saw the human in front of him...he frowned. XiYang was calm...there was no panic or shock...as if he expected Tor to do something. What XiYang did next caused Tor to grimace in resignation.

As the fireball flew towards XiYang, his party all tried to warn him but they were not fast enough. However, XiYang anticipated this surprised attack and swung his paddle at the fireball. Given his paddle's special attributes, he was able to smash the fireball back towards Tor. The fireball smashed into Tor, sending him in flames and pain. Soon, the fire subsided, leaving a burnt corpse
"Wow! Didn't know you could do that." Pine said in shock and wonder.
"Me neither." XiYang replied in agreement.

Tsar Bomba
The story of a man who was suddenly transported to another universe with a game like 'System', Level ups, Evolutions, Stats, the works. He wakes up as a tadpole in a swamp and through a combination of luck and absurd luck gets set on the road to becoming one of his new worlds most powerful people. This is a first draft with minimal editing. The Tables and such are more prevalent in the early chapters but I am trying to keep the tables to a minimum. I do not intend for there to be any sexually explicit content in this fiction, just occasional innuendos and the like.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Saga of the Undone One
Among the vast expanse of the realm known as the Outer Fantasy exists a group of sorcerers by the name of Changelings. They steal the memories and the very essence of normal people in order to perform a strange ritual in which they extend their lives by hundreds or even thousands of years and change their bodies to the extreme. In this devilish process most of the people used die. But a few survive. These unlucky men and women are just a hollow shells of their former selves. They are people with shattered minds and stolen memories. The brands of the ones that brought them to this miserable state are engraved in their skin and both their bodies and minds are damaged by the sorcerers. They’re pitied by some, hated by many and ignored by most. And worst of all – they’re doomed to live their remaining years in this crippled state, isolated by the rest of the world and without a way to heal their injuries, both mental and physical. But deep inside of them lies a spark of the power that the mages used to shatter their minds… The name of these miserable beings is the Undone Ones and this is the story of one of them. His name is Ehrir and in the lowest point of his seemingly unending life as an Undone One he finds the power that can change his life for the better… or worse. Release Schedule: Three chapters per week (posted on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 6 and 11 PM EEST). Average chapter length: ~2000 words
