《God save the king ➳ Cauis Volturi》The joy of death

Anthea's Pov
The moment I crossed the hospital doors I felt a cold chill running down my spine, the first thing I saw was a defeated looking police officer who explained everything that had happened and accompanied me, I couldn't count the number of sad looks I received as we made our way to the morgue. As we were walking he tried not to look at me, but I couldn't help but to look at him.
His eyes were the ones of a wounded animal, who was ready to attack, but his body showed how he had been, once again defeated, starting to surrender to fate. There had been many unresolved animals attacks lately and even when the police department had all their officials out there, trying to find the culprit, they just seemed to be unable to do so.
As I was looking at his eyes I felt his rage and saddens, and I huffed internally. He was pathetic, unable to do anything right. In a town where nothing happens and the only thing the police does is hunt and maybe eat a couple of donuts, they were unable to find a fucking animal who was killing the people of this town. Not that the animal wasn't doing the world a favor and I couldn't care less about these people, but still, it was true.
We finally arrived to a steel door and a foul smell came out of it when a doctor opened it.
Lying there, were two bodies covered by what seemed to be grey bed sheets, the doctor explained to me, how I needed to see their faces and verify that they actually were my parents. He then proceeded to uncover their faces.
When I laid my eyes on them, there was no question. It was them. They seemed to be at peace. And I hated that. I hated they weren't in pain. My face must have said something, and the doctor assured me they had died a painless and quick death and I hated that they had. And I hoped that somehow I could wake them up and make sure they didn't.

All I could say was "It's them" – In a monotonous voice- And I turned around and exited the room, and started walking my way back
"I'm sorry" – I heard the doctor say at the distance-
The police man said his goodbyes and catch up with me, he just looked at me and didn't say a word, and I could feel how now he felt sorry for me. He must have thought I acted the way I did because I was mourning. As I said, he was pathetic, and not very good at his job if he couldn't read my feelings toward the murder of my parents.
I had to give my phone number to the police man and was told that in case they found anything I was going to be the first one to know. I didn't want to know anything; I didn't care, but had to act like I did. In fact, if they ever found the animal, I just wanted to pet it and say thank you, for freeing me from the constant suffering that were my parents.
When I was finally able to leave, entering the building was Dr. Carlisle Cullen, who was shocked to see me there.
"Hello, Anthea. What are you doing here?" – He asked-
I was going to answer but the police man did it first
"Hello Dr. Cullen, The poor girl had to verify if the two persons found were her parents" – he said-
In my head, I was planning a thousand ways to kill that man. He of all people, felt sorry for me.
"I'm really sorry to hear that" – He made a pause- "Anthea, if you need anything, you can count with my family, just say a word"
I looked up, feeling how worried he actually was and said

"Thank you Carlisle, but right now I just want to go home"
And exited the hospital.
As I arrived home, I saw a black car parked.
I got off my car and walked to my house, I was tired of the whole situation and I didn't want to deal with anything. So I ignored the car.
But when I was about to close my door, from the car emerged a suited man, who ran to my door, and said
"Miss, are you Anthea Lincer?" – He asked-
"Yeah... That's me" – I said – "Look, I have had a really shitty day, can you come back tomorrow?"
And tried once again to close the door, but he put his polished shoes to stop it.
"Believe me, you want to hear this"
I looked at him, and felt his urge so I sighted and finally opened the door.
After what felt like forever, I had read and signed everything the man, who turned to be the lawyer of my parents, had given me, I said thank you, he promised to be in contact and we finally part ways.
I was officially the owner of everything my parents had once possessed and were so proud about. The thought of that made me smile, a really diabolic one. The one thing they were so proud about, owned by the person they despised. I loved fate.
It hit me then; I was able to do whatever the fuck I wanted.
Volterra, Here I go.

Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...

8 134Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev
