《Blockage of Writing》A Dying King
Advertisement
Heh heh, so we meet again Pawn, even if it is for the final time. But I guess Pawn is now an unfitting title, wouldn’t you agree? Good, a simple moment of agreement, something we never shared before. So you King be your new title now? Maybe for you and every other Pawn, you are King, but to me, you will always be a Pawn, my Pawn to be exact. My chains have been shattered; the toxins that I breathed into this world have dissipated into nothingness. My reign is crumbling away with me. You tower over me as I die, the Death God Thanatos waiting to collect me. I bet he is very eager to collect me. I always knew that I would eventually be overthrown but I never expected it to be by a little Pawn like yourself. It was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise. So if I may ask, who led you to this victory? A Pawn like you could not have done this by yourself. You were previously dead; we both know that as fact. Something or someone gave you new life. Was it the angels and their justice? No? Was it the fallen angels and their greed? No? Was it the demons and their chaos? No? Ah, so it was none of them. So another force was at play. I should have known. Not all of my chains bounded something. This is very interesting indeed. But I shift my dying attention back to you, Pawnking. What will you do when my corpse turns to dust and gets blown away in the wind? Will you rebuild this world? Will it be in your own image? Or will you get corrupted? Power corrupts, that is known by everyone. Or will you do as I did? You’ll see that all this power will fracture your mind soon enough and it will blur your eyes. This force that aided you, which I do not know of, are fools if they think this power can be easily controlled. I used to be a lot like you Pawnking. I used to be a mere Pawn ruled by another King. A fair King I feel obliged to say, but ruled by a King nonetheless. It is strange how you became a tool, a slave to another force only to topple me down. Hence why you are a Pawnking. That is what draws the line between you and me. I fought on my own for my own needs. You only fought because it is for someone else’s desires. It’s quite pathetic really, but enough from me. I’ve lost this war and you have won. So enjoy your victory. But I warn this hidden force that guides you to beware you. For you, Pawnking will be their downfall! When I became King, I was not what I am now. I was fair and respected by all. I treated everyone right. But the power that comes with being King corrupted me like it has corrupted every king before me like it will corrupt you in due time.

8 508Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 155The Other World
Every living being becomes a Traveler while sleeping. This means that part of what is called “consciousness” detaches from the rest, carrying us towards worlds located in parts still unknown of the universe. Most of these places have things that inhabit only our dreams. Worlds were physics is not the same one we know. Where magic exists and mythological creatures walk amongst the people. Most of the Travelers become mere spectators in this world, unable to influence it. With some luck, they can go back to their bodies and wake up with the memory of a pleasant dream. Others do not have the same luck and end up stuck in the limbo, unable to return home. There is one other category of Travelers. These are the ones strong enough to create bodies and separate themselves from the life they had before. These Travelers start a new life without ever thinking about returning to the place they once called “home”. This story is about the last kind of Travelers and their trials in a world filled with spells, magical creatures and monsters. **
