《Just a Lowly Monster》Did I Really Just Become a Monster
Advertisement
Right now I'm in an egg sac. Yep, that's right. An egg sac. And oh boy my life has really gone down the shithole.
My name is Reiko Nakamara. Just a few minutes ago I was walking down the street while reading a manga on my phone. The last thing I remember before waking up in the egg was the sound of a scream. And a bright light. Ehh. Next thing I know, I'm in the middle of god-knows where.
Hey, isn't this the part where I hear a voice in my head? System-chan? I inwardly sigh. Good grief, what am I going to do now? I then listen for anything as it is too dark to see anything. That's when I hear it.
*THUMP*
It sounds like a foot. A really, really big foot.
*THUMP*
As it gets closer, I start to cough. I've just realized that the air is really, really heavy and hard to breathe. Just what is going on? The footsteps come even closer. At this point, it's so loud it's shaking my egg sac. Thankfully, whatever abomination was passing has ignored me and kept moving. But what I do discover is that there are a few cracks. I nervously poke at them and one of the cracks gives way to a small hole.
All of a sudden, I feel like I'm cooking alive. Holy shit it's hot. I feel like I'm on fire! The heat burns my skin. I still can't see but I can feel my skin burning. I then start to hear the outside world as well.
Terrifying. That's the only word that can describe what I hear. There are screams and roars in the distance, some closer than others. The killing intent is so thick, it feels like it's a part of the atmosphere. I shudder and pray to whatever god there is to keep me alive. Just where did I end up in?

It takes what feels like days to accustom myself to the atmosphere and noises. After getting over my shock at my first experience with the outside world, I realize how hungry I am. My stomach is contorting in pain as my mind desperately screams for food. I'm so hungry I could eat anything. Why. Why. Why. Why. Food. Food. Food. Food. I NEED food. NOW.
My mind is hazing. I barely stay awake as I weakly pound against the cracks in my egg. After an eternity, another piece breaks open. I throw my body against the walls of the egg and claw my way out of the gelatinous liquid. The earth sighs a breath of steam as I look up, covered in slimy fluids.

An Unbound Soul
When Peter suffers a too-close encounter with a truck, he finds himself reborn in another world. At first glance it is a perfect fantasy land. There's magic to play with, elves singing in the forest and a hyperactive catgirl neighbour. There's even a System that lets him earn skills and level up. But it isn't long before he notices that the world is far too perfect. Just why is everyone so nice? Can Peter accept the alien morality of this world's self-proclaimed protector, or will he seek to overthrow her? Set after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, a few hundred years after the rebirth of civilization, this is a story about an earthling falling into Erryn's new world and the subsequent struggles of himself and Erryn to understand each other. It's a slow paced slice of life, and while there are pieces of action, don't expect any immediate grand conflict between Erryn and Peter. Published here, scribblehub and amazon. Two new chapters a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

8 128Rise of the Cheat Potion Maker, a Cultivation LitRPG saga #1
In a blink, I found myself in an unknown land, greeted by the textbox of an unfriendly system. It wanted me to become a great hero, save the world, win the love of the people and all that crap. But this new world already had a hero. Why should I bust my ass, deal with dragons and the unknown, for people I didn't know? Let him deal with that. It's his job! So instead of being tempted by the system's nonsense, I chose a simple class. Potion maker. I wasn't interested in cultivating mana and defying the heavens, courting death, none of that crap. Unfortunately, the town I spawned near was suffering crippling inflation, merchants and people were leaving, and they themselves lacked high-demand businesses. The town would soon be going under.Not if I have anything to say about it. But will it be that easy to escape fate...?

8 162A Fate Shaped by Magick
This fiction was (and is) published on fanfiction dot net under the same title; though as I slowly transfer it to here, I am editing and smoothing it. This story takes place in the Elder Scrolls (TES) Universe mostly ending up in Morrowind. This is a slice of life meant to answer the questions of how (in the TES universe) do mages study and learn, and exploring some of the in-game differences between TES 2 and 3. This book has minimal spoilers for the Morrowind main quest and does not fully explore it. If you think that giant insects would make cool pets - if you like the idea of exploring magic NOT intended simply as killing something better, faster or more gore-ridden, then come on in and enjoy.
