《Searching for Safe Heaven》Night in a forest
Advertisement
In the Yorkshire continent, a large portion of one of its corners is covered with forest. The trees are so dense and tall that from the top one will not be able to see the color of the land. Normally the forest always remains silent if one can ignore the roars and screams of different animals that reside in the forest. The forest with all its beauty also hides the law of hunter and prey under it.
But today, the silence of the forest is constantly disturbed by pillars of light. The phenomenon has started suddenly in one morning and remained to continue the whole day. Well since this phenomenon is concentrated in the outskirt of the forest, it has not created any considerable wave in the forest.
From many such pillars of light came a girl. She seems 10-11 years old. Her body is thin and petite, her skin is pale. She is wearing a one-piece cloth. Even though the cloth is beautiful and of high quality but due to constant washing, the colors of one beautiful dress have fainted. Though she looks pitiful, from her dark blue eyes and sharp facial features, one can see her determination to live.
On her face, one can see confusion and amazement as she tried to pass through those gigantic trees. Scratches have been formed on her pale body. The humid and cold climate is sending chills in her body. She looks up and sighs.
"Not a single ray of sunshine..."
Her voice is weak, and her body is cold. Even though the trees have blocked sunshine but one can perceive it is morning. She can't even imagine, what will happen to her when the night will come or whether she will die even before the arrival of night.
As she roamed, she began to search a place for shelter as well as sharp stones which she can use for defend. After considerable effort she had found a cave, well one can't say it a cave as it only has an overgrown rock from a small hill acting as a canopy along with a depression on the wall in which an adult person can fit in.

Though while roaming she had found some caves and hollow trees, the risk of it being an animal shelter and the presence of various insects made her abandoning it.
Sun began to set. She had collected some dried grasses and stuffed it in the cave and then cover herself completely, to avoid the cold of the night, and to hide her presence. As the sky becomes dark and there is a sudden drop in temperature.
Due to the absence of the sun, temperature drops. Rain began to fall. Lightning illuminates the dark forest providing a chance to the prey to avoid their hunt. The roaring of the animals is deafening her ears. To distract herself from noises, she began to sharpen the stones in her hand. There is a sudden clap of thunder and she watches a nearby tree has caught in fire, illuminating the surrounding.
In the light, she sees a black shadow about 2m long and of 1m height fighting with another animal covered in scales, protruding horns and of the same size. The black shadow attacks the armored animal while armored one defends itself using its horns. The fight goes for sometimes and blood began to flow with the rainwater. At last, the fight ended when the black shadow had taken down the armored one after crushing its windpipe with his jaw. The black shadow began to tear apart the armored animal corpse in rage. After eating a big chunk of flesh, it begins to drag the animal towards its hideout. She can only watch the whole scene in awe. After some time, she fell into her dreams.

8 88Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.

8 98The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
