"When you say to kill something, what do you mean??.." asked Valdezie
"You see, my girls are mine and only mine no lowlife can even put a hand on them, but this disgusting cockroach and his men have fed me up really good, come look at this" said Charlotte making a sign with her hand to Valdezie to come with her, Valdezie follows her to a room in the first floor which doesnt look a room of love it looks more a room where workers would sleep, in bed a female cat demi-human is gravely punched, her face is almost just a piece of red and purple mince meat.
"I understand....tell me where to find him" -Valdezie
"You wont ask about payment??"
"I drunk for the entire last night besides I don't know how the currency works, so I will leave to my companion"
"You are going to go alone??"
"If is just scum I wont need much help"
"Oh right then, you must go to the port where the houses are, you are looking the third house to the right but be careful he is not alone.."
"What a cliché line, you don't have any better tips?"
"The writer isn't very creative so hurry up"
Valdezie glares at his great axe, a thick single bladed axe's head on the top of a dark wooden staff with leather straps to make handling easier, it isn't a light weapon but every swing will cut thought flesh and bone.
Valdezie found the place after getting lost in the city, the place was just and old wooden house corroded by the sea salty breeze, Valdezie took a deep breath and open the door with a kick.
"Who the hell would break my precious door???" Shouted a man without an ear and with an a eyepatch on his right eye, a black beard so filthy as a dying dog, wearing a long leather robe with multiple belts and a cutlass on his hip.

"whatever, kill him and...blargh, you know the damn rest" said the filthy beard to his equally disgusting subordinates.
"!!!COME AT ME, IM WAITING HERE, I WILL NOT ESCAPE BUT I WILL BEHEAD YOU AND IMPALE YOUR BLOODY HEADS IN A STICK TO HONOR THE FORGOTTEN GODS!!!!" Shouted Valdezie with all his might, a shout so frightening that no one on that room dare to make a single noise.
"The sea will swallow you all" said filthy beard to his subordinates that are frozen in terror.
"Mmm...do you even dare me oppose me demi-human???....!!!!!!!¡¡¡?....you are a goat man???? Hahaha I thought I have had kill you all, that doesnt matter no more, I will finish the job" said filthy beard while unsheating his sword and pointing to Valdezie.
Both run to each other but filthy beard's cutlass was nothing compared to the heavy axe of valdezie breaking it into thousands of pieces.
"Damn you, you were always a plague making the living of honoured people like me a living hell with your poisonous existence"
Valdezie slowly approached him lifting his great axe into the air with no expression on his face.
"You fool, taste the new technology of gunpowder" exclaimed filthy bear taking out of his robe a gun and shooting into valdezie chest.
"What happened??" Asked Rah to Charlotte
"You had a wild night, that's all" replied with a smile Charlotte.
Rah had just waked up and Charlotte offer her some breakfast, both of them got to the bar where they were served some sweet honey bread, butter and coffee.
"Mmmm this is so good" Stated Rah while eating with twitching ears and energy the honey bread.
"I'm glad you like it"-Charlotte
"Did Valdezie taste it??"
"Well, right now he is doing a job"
"A job?"
"A simple one, he said to ask you how much for the reward"
"He is alone?"
"He insisted"
"Mmmm.....so the reward...what about 4 silver coins for taking the trash out???"
"The trash??"
"Yes....wait what type of job did Valdezie take???"
"The one you got paid in gold coins..."
"What???"
In that moment the bar door opened with a loud noise, a face appeared wearing an a eyepatch and a with disgusting beard, leaving a trail of blood as his beheaded head got toss to Charlotte.
"Done" said a bloody Valdezie with the gun wound on his chest still spilling blood everywhere.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.
8 200Otaku Girl
Imagine a world where you can live the life of your favorite fictional characters.

One who is all-powerful, sadistic, and possibly eldritch...

Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!

8 117A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)
