《Al-Mos... Qui-t-o Live A Second Life》Chapter 36: Meeting Of The 24 Beast Kings
Advertisement
At the same time, outside the Ocean of Despair.
Twenty-four powerful creatures have gathered around, creating a powerful aura that one would kneel down instantly due to strong pressure.
"Snockie, what's up? Why do you call us here?" A strong and big eagle asked the big snake, Snockie.
"Wait.. how.. how in the world we're able to use our powers again?" a large lion asked, feeling the power in his paw as the ground gave in.
"Wait.. Snockie.. don't.. don't tell me.." a humongous cat looked at Snockie, as fear was apparent in its eyes.
"Snockie says that the past will once again repeat, bringing danger to our world." the green tortoise exudes calmness and aptitude.
"Torsite is right. I.. I encountered three.. three strange beings that were similar to the previous world-wrecker of our world." Snockie throws a big surprise to everyone present at the meeting.
"No way!! How.. how is it possible?! Doesn't God has already sealed the portal to our world?!" the large elephant asked with disbelief in its eyes.
"Elephent, don't be such a fool. God has only sealed it not closed it. So it doesn't mean that it can't be opened again." the large rabbit said as it looked with disdain toward Elephent.
"Snockie, tell us more about these three." Torsite asked Snockie, quite affecting the other panicking Beast Kings.
"Snockie, are those three looks like the previous three world-wrecker?" a gigantic hawk asked as anticipation appeared on its face.
"Are they stronger than the previous?" a fat dog asked as it become a bit competitive.
"I don't know. But.. but I feel that these three look more dangerous. Those.. three have already reached level 5, and it will be more higher since this domain has been opened. They'll surely become powerful since they go to that secret place where they can strengthen themselves. Those.. those three seem to hold more powerful assistants than the previous as the dark aura exuding from them was so condensed and strong. If.. if they ever did become stronger.. our.. our world will be dead!" Snockie explained to the other 23 beast kings, as all the beast kings become serious.

"It's indeed a serious problem. We cannot let the past repeat itself again." the hefty black gorilla said gaining everyone's agreement.
"We need to come up with a good plan. We must prevent those three from becoming powerful, or maybe, if we can't prevent them, let's just get them to our side." An owl that was as large as a child said a suggestion that was deduced from countless probability.
"That's a good idea, Owly, but the latter is more appropriate for us. We don't want to have someone from outside our world." A boar with long fangs said.
"I agree with Boary. We must not do the second. We need to kill the three instead!" the fierce tiger said, brimming with hostility.
"Tiggery, relax. We must decide from the reasonable decision." Torsite said to Tiggery, gaining a sneer from the latter.
"But Torsite, what should we do then? Do you have any plans?" Snockie asked, with expectant in his eyes as he look at Torsite.
Torsite is actually the most intelligent beast king and although it has low offensive strength, but its defense is impenetrable. No other beast king can destroy his protective barrier.
"Well, I suggest that we should be strengthening ourselves and also our subordinates. We will train harder and wait for those three to come out. Once any of you had caught their presence, you should immediately inform others and if possible, try to catch them or kill them. They should be alive, so we might discover the reason why there's always this strange thing happening in our world." Torsite speaks out what is on its mind as it makes the others agree. No one had dared to oppose Torsite since Torsite always makes the right decision. If there's no Torsite, all beast kings would probably try to kill each other and be the ones who will destroy their own world.
"Torsite is so deserving of his title, The Genius King. That plan is really good." a big frog said, trying to bootlick Torsite.
"I agree with Torsite. I will train my subordinates to make them more powerful." a long and large lizard said as it tried to leave the meeting place.

"Me too. I'll start to execute the plan right now." The remaining beast kings also bid farewell as all of them leave the meeting place in haste, leaving Torsite and the small white dove alone.
"Hais... It seems that those fools have misinterpreted my suggestion." Torsite sighed as he feel disappointed.
"Torsite, please.. don't.. don't go. We.. we can't lose you." The dove said as it kneels down, begging toward Torsite.
"Dovey, please stand up. You do not need to beg. My time has come to its end.. so I cannot do anything about it anymore. It's my fate to die in four days." Torsite said without a change on his face, still calm as an ocean.
"But Torsite... You can prolong your.."
"But what? By killing and eating hearts as other beast kings did? Dovey, immortality, and strength is indeed good, but a pitiful and sad one."
"Torsite.. how.. how could attaining immorality and strength become sad? Please.. we.. we need you to hear. Can't.. can't you see the other beast king earlier? It's so obvious that they just agreed to strengthen so once things go wrong, they can use their own power to dominate this world. You.. you give a good suggestion for the betterment, but they took it for doing evilness. Please... If you died, peace would forever cease to exist anymore." Dovey begged as drops of tears fall on the ground. Sudden sprouts appeared, growing in a blink of an eye.
"Dovey, you'll understand why it's sad in the future. And also, why do you think I only tell you my current state and not with others?"
"W---why is.. that indeed?" Dovey was also curious on why Torsite only told him his state and not to others.
"It's because you're like me. Even if you don't tell me, you can't kill an innocent life and eat their hearts. For you and me, it's too disgusting to do it, isn't it?"
"How... It's indeed true.. but Torsite.."
"You are the only one, other than me, that wants this world to have peace. And although you do not know it yourself, but you held the greatest power of all the beast king here. Even greater than mine." Torsite said as he use his foot to pat Dovey.
"What? What.. are you talking about, Torsite?"
"You have the power of healing. With your tears, you can heal anything. You attain such power through the power of sympathy and desiring peace unlike me who exchange my own life for strong defensive power."
"What? Is.. is it true, Torsite? If.. if it's true, then.. I'll, I'll heal you!" Dovey said as he tried to force its tears but nothing came out.
"Dovey, please do not act like how others act. I'll pass to you the position of being a leader, so try to avoid doing bad deeds. Always think of peace and avoid igniting fight among the others."
"Torsite... I'll heal you!"
"Dovey, you cannot use your power for your own desire. It should be coming from your heart."
"Torsite..." Dovey said with a shaking voice as tears flowed out. A drop of tears fell on Torsite foot but nothing happened.
"Dovey, even if you use your tears.. you cannot heal me. I have already exchanged my soul and I need to pay for it. I'll pass to you the world and make sure to bring peace."
"Torsite.. no.. we.. we cannot lose you."
"Dovey, listen. In four days, let us do our best to maintain the current state of our world and to help the other beast kings in defeating the three arising world-wrecker." Torsite said seriously as Dovey was rendered helpless and just complied with the latter.

8 274Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe.

8 189Doctor // Kidnapped Dreamnotfound AU
Why would anyone bother going to the hospital when they have an injury when you can just kidnap your own personal doctor?Dream. A serial killer who often gets into some messy situations with rivals. Those messy situations tend to leave Dream battered, bruised, and shot. He's not the best doctor, but he knows who is. George. A doctor in training at the hospital that he's had his eye on for more time than he'd like to admit.More explanation: Dream's a serial killer & kidnapper who normally works alone. However he does occasionally work with his friends, one of those friends being Sapnap, but we'll get into all of those people later. Dream isn't good at treating bullet wounds or cuts, despite having to do so quite often. So he does something that he IS good at. Kidnapping. Only this time instead of playing mind games with his captive and killing them after, he's going to be kidnapping someone who can help him whenever he gets hurt, which unluckily for the both of them, will be pretty often. Despite George technically still being in training as a doctor, Dream wouldn't dream of passing up an opportunity to not only gain the much needed help in treating his wounds, but also a very pretty boy that would be under his control.TW's! I will explain everything about TW's in the first chapter as well as other stuff in the first chapter.Updates: Once a week. I kind of just update whenever I want though.The reason being for this is because I have actually written a book in the past and I've found that if I have much more time to write the chapters, they tend to be much higher quality and longer. Which means a better reading experience for you guys as well as a better writing experience for myself.I started writing this at like 3am and didn't account for the fact that I have like- no idea how to treat wounds (overall) but uh- too late now I guess...Cover art by wanderlustlily on tumblr
