《Gallinus》1- The beginning
Advertisement
Ah, what’s happening to me? I just woke up and found myself in a deep darkness…
My body is all squeezed and, somehow, strange. It feels like I’m in a ball.
I cannot feel some parts of my body, just as some others seem to move in a strange way.
Must it be because I‘m in this grip, that I’m feeling strange, right? How do I get out of here?
I try to move my hands to push my surroundings, but they just slide.
Are my fingers numb? I can’t feel their touch!
Without choices, I try to kick the wall, but it’s just made the ball spin a little.
… I can’t get out of here.
Not knowing what to do, I start to notice more and more how strange my own body is.
… Just, what happened to me?
My memories become confused as a headache strikes me.
Because of the pain, I squirm inside the ball and end up hitting my face in it.
…Did the wall just crack?
I don’t understand well, but there is something really hard on my face, to be able to break it.
Furthermore, I did not feel any pain when I did it.
Since this worked, I will continue.
Again, I hit my face against the wall, just to hear another cracking sound.
Finally, the light… But it is very strong!
For some reason, my eyes are much more sensitive than they used to be.
Since I can’t keep my eyes open, I kept breaking the wall with them closed.
It wasn’t a long time before I finally broke enough to crack the ball form the sides and open it in half.
When I left, I tried to open my eyes slowly…
…AHHH! What is it!!
The moment I look ahead, I see a giant watching me.

What is happening?!!
The giant’s appearance in front of me was that of a girl. She had a long blue hair and blue-gray eyes.
The girl was wearing a beautiful white dress that would probably be worn in extremely important situations.
Around her are several different people, men and women, who wear white clothes similar to the girl’s.
They communicate in a language that I don’t know a single word.
The buildings around me look like an old sanctuary, mainly because of the pedestal that I am on.
Is it a dream?
As soon as I asked myself that, I finally moved my arm forward and could see it.
It is a small wing with black feathers.
…What?!
I move my arm several times to confirm that it was really my arm.
Ah, I went crazy.
Looking down on me, I find that my foot has turned orange, thin and with 3 toes.
… I have a chicken foot …
My brain stopped working in this moment, not wanting to accept what was going on.
No more thoughts, I decide to observe the surroundings, as if I were playing a VR.
Without moving from the place, I watch everyone while I don’t understand what they say.
I only judge them by their reactions and movements.
First of all, as soon as I return my attention to everyone, I notice that they seem really surprised at me.
Right after that, as if returning from a trance, the girl in front of me puts a necklace around my neck and then kneels, as if she were praying.
A few seconds later, she gets up and stay silent, just like the others.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but one of the people, an old man who appeared to be very wise, came to me and start watching me.
It didn’t take long for him to be astonish and then exclaim something to the people behind him. He looks really angry.
A discussion occurs and, finally, the girl with blue hair takes me in her hands, not letting anyone approach.
… This film could, at least, have a subtitle.
After more discussions and some events, the girl takes me out of that place.

Trickster’s Song [A LitRPG Portal Fantasy]
After a drunken college ritual goes very wrong (or very right), Robin wakes up, naked, in a world of dark priests, angry kobolds, and Lost Gods. The priest wants to crush his will. The kobolds want to catch and eat him. The Lost God, well, it's not yet clear exactly what he wants. None of them care what Robin wants. Robin would like to explore this new world without all the messy complications, thanks. He finally has a bit of real magic at his fingertips, but the monsters on every side won't let him relax long enough to enjoy it! The only tools he has to survive are his wits, the strange messages that keep flashing before his eyes, and a newly-discovered talent for illusions. It’s nothing game-breaking…or is it? *** *** *** This fiction features a bi male protagonist (think Kinsey 5 level). Robin will progress through various levels of power at a steady pace. Progression will be at a moderate pace. The rise to power is far from meteoric. Trickster's Song will update on Mondays and Thursdays each week. Expect Updates to usually post between 16.30 and 17.00 GMT (London Time) If you would like to help increase the posting rate to 3, 4, or even 5 times per week for everyone, or if you'd like to read ahead on your own, check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tomobedlam

The Last Science [SE]
[SE has the same content as the original story, split into smaller chunks for easier reading. This story is on a temporary hiatus due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I work in healthcare and unfortunately no longer have the freetime to continue posting on a regular basis. As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the fading town of Rallsburg stumbles upon an amazing discovery—magic itself. Faced with potentially world-shattering power, the people of Rallsburg keep the secret for themselves. Led by Rachel DuValle, a perpetually underestimated college student with grand ambitions, they seek to found a new society. The world beyond suspects nothing, but magic cannot stay hidden forever. A train arrives in Rallsburg carrying Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate. To him, magic could represent meaning for his life, an explanation for his empty existence. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series, focused on the modern world with a twist. New societies bud and grow, but the people who make them up are imperfect and flawed. The story includes elements of mystery, action, crime, interpersonal drama, relationships, philosophy, sociology, politics, and much more, all centered on the perspective characters driving the tale. This is the "Scraps Edition" of the story, where the chapters have been split up into bite-size chunks (roughly 1500-3000 words), for your convenience. The prose has been edited from its original form, with some improvements, but there are no content differences from the original. New chapters will be posted throughout each week starting on Friday and appearing on multiple days thereafter, depending on the length of the chapter. Content Warning (by request): This series delves into some topics and situations which may be upsetting for some readers. In American rating parlance, the narrative would be rated PG-13 (except for language), but some have noted the story can get pretty dark on occasion. Please use your best judgment, and don't be afraid to take breaks and come back later. I'll still be here! [Discord] - come hang out and chat!

Hello, Inside Monster
„I don't remember when or why, but they say I killed someone. I was judged for this, but I'm still free as they didn't find any evidence to send me to jail and to close me inside of a cold cell, for eternity. However, they are still after me! Especially my victim's brother who swore to kill me or to kneel me down. And now, when we are working together, I'm forced to see him every day and to see that big hatred he has for me reflected in his eyes. And... it's a reciprocal feeling: hating! But even so, something attracts me at him. Is it because I'm a crazy woman that loves the one who hurts her and hates her? Maybe! I don't have an answer to this question! But still, while his eyes are piercing me and leaving me blooding inside, I understand that I know nothing about this world. My name is Ian SolHi. I'm 30 and I'm a detective in the Homicide Department, Seoul PD. I've been accused once of being a murderer, but I've been also declared innocent, for lack of evidence. That's why I entered the police: to find out the truth and, since then, 7 years have already passed without finding out what happened then. But I feel that everything has changed now: the monster inside me has awakened and he feels the smell of blood."
