《The Red Snowman》The Cosmic Ray
Advertisement
Far in space, a manta ray continued its nomadic life. It traveled from a purple twirl to a purple twirl, searching for food and new wonders.
After years of travel, the manta ray stopped in front of a colossal blue yeti and asked.
"Where are we?"
The yeti lowered its large eyes and responded. - "Above the stone ocean. You are at the boundary of the unknown."
"What is the boundary of the unknown?"
"The place where rules and laws no longer apply. Be wary of monsters or turn back."
The manta ray was not shaken. - "I am not afraid. I've traveled between purple twirls before stars were even born."
"Then, here, you're still a child." - The yeti spoke in a deep voice. - "I won't warn you no more, it is your choice."
Manta didn't listen and continued her journey. She witnessed how stars died and fell, crashing into the stone ocean. She traveled through strands of time, where the causation of events wasn't in harmony with their order. She ventured deep inside steel gratings, where strange machinery ruled the world. Nothing would stop her, nothing would diminish her courage, bravery, and desire for knowledge.
At last, manta ray arrived at a rubbish dump below the city of light.
On an island, she noticed a mermaid there, waiting in silence.
"Where are we?" - The manta ray asked.
With her pretty green eyes, the mermaid looked at manta, then answered. - "In the bubble sea."
"Understood. What are you doing here, alone?" - The manta ray asked, again.
"Waiting for friends."
"How long are you waiting?"
"Seven long years."
"That's too long. I can take you up, to the city above, your loneliness will end there."

"No, thanks. I will wait."
Manta ray didn't insist and continued her travel for long years, until she became hungry. She landed in the middle of endless fields of white wheat. Hungry, she began to devour all plants around her.
"NEEEEIIGHHHH." - A group of horses surrounded the manta ray, they didn't want manta here. It was their pasture.
"Your inhospitality shall not go unpunished. You didn't allow me to feed myself in peace, so I curse you for eternity. Your hunger shall never perish and your bellies will be rotten by poison."
As manta ray said, as was destined. The cursed steed scattered in all directions of the boundary of the unknown, looking for food that would fill their ever-craving stomachs.
Manta continued her travel, she once again traveled over the stone ocean, but this time she was far away from any sign of civilization. Large stones fell slowly floated down from the sky and submerged in stone waters, creating large ripples, which caused air to shake with a loud echo.
The manta ray was annoyed by the noise, so she fled towards the most silent part of the ocean.
There was a small isle with a wooden house, and white smoke rose above its chimney.
The manta paid no attention to it and landed, crushing the house.
"Peace, at last." - The manta ray told herself.
"Excuse me." - A voice of small being bothered the manta.
"Begone. I need rest from all that racket." - The manta rudely disregarded the intruder.
"(Cough) Please, could you get up! You ruined my house."
"Show some hospitality. I flew for years in that loud noise, my ears are hurting. It's the only place where I can lie down."
"But it's my house! I live here!"

"My ears still hurt, cease your voice."
"But..."
"...so be it, you didn't allow your neighbor to rest, so I curse you with being unable to ever sleep at ease. You shall be forever haunted by nightmares. Now, I shall be gone."
...and the curse worked, but the manta ray didn't know who has she cursed.
The next day, her victim had a nightmare, but that nightmare came to life.
Creatures with thousands of eyes, tentacles, and mouths appeared, floating over the far stone ocean. They were far larger than the manta ray and devoured her in a single bite.
That was the end of the manta ray, but it was only the beginning of nightmares.

The Trials of Bethany
Bethany, is a young girl who didn't expect anything more from her life than to spend her time churning butter and trying to ignore the abuse of her fellow village members. In any other world this would be a reasonable expectation for a person in the middle ages. But Bethany was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. Because her world was about to get a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot scarier. The Trials of Bethany, is a Gamelit story of a system arriving on earth in the middle ages with the characters being teleported away regularly to face trials to earn their skill levels. As such there won't be a flood of skills however there will be constant progression and other hidden treats. The story will be evolving as it's written and as always aspects of the story/world are prone to change. This is my first serious attempt at writing and my first time publishing anywhere so all constructive criticism is welcome. Currently uploading Tuesday & Friday with occasional bonus chapters.

The house of cards have fallen, and in their wake, an outbreak of Undead. From high above in a prison of glass, I watched the world burn. It is only now with my two feet upon the ground that I realize I have traded one Hell for another, and with front row seats to the apocalypse, I raise my glass for this is one hell of a view.

8 163Cryptmother: Bride of the Dungeon Core
A tongue in cheek tale about a silly little necromancer and her dungeon-based woes...Graverra Graeme always knew she was destined for more than the average adventurer, even as a low level Necromancer in a realm where such practices are typically frowned upon. When she catches the eye of a lonely dungeon core she isn’t surprised… At first. Offered the chance to raise the dead and rise to her full potential but at the cost of her personal freedoms, Graverra navigates her new life Cryptmother; Bride of the dungeon core. Started as part of HereThereBeTreasure’s Fast Food Front Page Challenge, aka the Trash Race, continuing because I’m having fun, experimenting with some things, and Graverra needs her big goth castle dammit. While this is now tagged romance, it’s not a healthy one! Who knew throwing in with the first core to pay you any attention wasn’t grounds for a healthy relationship… While I plan to keep things light, ‘two impulsive power hungry users have to work together’ is kind of the backbone of this story. Consider this the official ‘toxic romance’ tagging. It’s the author’s first time building a dungeon too, bear with us 💖Dungeon Building begins around Chapter 10Dungeon Running to begin soon after Chapter 20 Now updating Wednesdays
