《The Noble Curse of Ookami [Previously Titled: CLOSER]》Possessed
Advertisement
As I wore the ring that father gave me with his last breath, I felt strange. My head was in terrible pain, and I even felt like a bomb just exploded inside my brain. All of my muscles are strained, I couldn't move much, and breathing was even very hard at that instance. I looked at my surroundings, it was getting brighter and brighter even though it was in the middle of the night.
I couldn't handle standing up, so I was forced to kneel down, while looking at the nerves of my hands slowly glowing. I felt a surge of peculiar power through my blood. My body heat was rising, I lost my ability to see clearly.
I hold my head with both hands, to just ease the pain caused by this extreme headache, but it just wouldn't stop. Then I felt heat bursts from my eyes, even hotter than my eyes felt my hands closing them.
I couldn't handle it anymore, and so I screamed, I screamed as loud as I could. I lost my vision, but remember that something comes out of or either comes inside my body from above creating a vertical streak through the roof. I don't know how far the blast reached, maybe even through the earth's atmosphere.
After that painful and magical experience, I fainted. For an entire week.
I woke up in some kind of student health center room. With many beds around me, and many other people laid down on them. They were unconscious. I felt this weird ease in my heart, I felt like home, despite knowing that I was in a place that I've never visited before.
Someone knocked, and opened the door in the corner of the room. He was a tall old man, with a muscular body. He was accompanied by his two assistants. He looked at me and slowly walked towards me.

He sat on a chair beside my bed, and began to talk, "You're finally awake. How do you feel?" he asked me with a deep and rough voice. I looked at my hands, my chest, my torso, down to my feet, I was okay, I felt great, but still weak.
"I... am okay," I answered briefly.
The old man sighed, cleared his throat, and began to talk again, "My name is Yuukai, I am the headmaster of this special school. You are one of a hundred people we managed to save after the Great Search last week,"
The Great Search, that's what the people are referring to when asked about the havoc last week. A man with peculiar power only known by the Dark or Darkness destroyed and killed many people, only for the sake of finding me.
"We have buried your parents with honor, and if you'd like to, I will gladly take you to your parents' graves," said Yuukai, with grief and sorrow in his eyes. At that instance, I didn't remember well what happened, only after that old man told me, that I remembered the horrible thing done to my parents by that evil man.
"No, I'm fine," I answered, looking at my hands. I was trembling, even though I felt better, but my body felt strange. If I was a video game character, maybe this is how it felt to gain new abilities after leveling up. Then out of curiosity I asked Yuukai, "What happened to me?"
Yuukai stood up, then offered me his hand, "Let me show you,"

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”

[...] - Não tenho contratos com vocês – rilhou Mercator. – Nem com qualquer outro ser, anjo, demônio ou deus, por miserável que seja.
