《The Egotistical Mana Spirit》Do you Nibbel, Graze, or Munch Qalampir?
Advertisement
Nibbel, Munch, and Graze were the names of the three Feaselian diplomats. They had traveled all the way down south from their newfound state in Issil called Acorn to come here into the Warm Coast. Nobrow had spent almost a week walking with them to a nearby kingdom, where Nobrow decided that he needed a rest because the poor sod had spent many months out in the wilds of the Great Steppe with his Monkey thug pals. The Kingdom of Qalampir, as it was officially known as, is a semi large kingdom that stretches from the southern parts of Transoxiania down to about where Nobrow entered the Warm Coast from the Great steppe.
Unlike the countries and states in Samar and the Four Corner Mountains region (the midsection between Issil and the rest of southern Senaisa), the lands pretty much anywhere on the coast of the Great Ocean are regularly in dispute. So, the borders of these countries are rarely stable and state administration is a poor mess. At least according to the popular book written by Alan (Nobrow's Great Writer pseudonym).
The Kingdom of Qalampir happens to be one of the most interesting kingdoms in the area. The Warm Coast is credited for its excellent weather and because of that agriculture flourishes very well, allowing many types of plants to grow in the coast. Thus, the farms in this region often rival those of Samar, a land known for its great valley rivers.
Most other political entities in the Warm Coast often dislike interacting with the rest of Senaisa so they tend to be more isolated. Yet the Kingdom of Qalampir has taken ambitious policies in creating excellent relationships with other states by being more open and promoting trade. This is all due to Yuzbon dynasty which is the current head of the country for already three generations.

So, it is no wonder how or why the three Feasel emissaries are attempting to establish a relationship between the two countries, even for Acorn the small Feasel state which is far away. While Nobrow decided not to pry into their business (...directly), he could only assume that their small merchant country would benefit very well if they managed to import the famous Qalampirian peppers.
A commodity such as a pepper in a region up north such as Issil where only the wealthy could ever dream of can only be extremely expensive. To put it into perspective, if Acorn could acquire a monopoly of peppers in Issil their tiny state would quickly transform into a busy trading empire. The greatest threat to this dream though, is the immense distance between the two countries.
On land it would be nearly impossible, but maybe a water route could work. Pondered Nobrow thinking if the Feasel’s deal was realistic.
But what excided Nobrow the most... was the possibility that he could alter an entire society’s future simply by bad mouthing the Feasel emissaries in the city or robbing them blind! Of course, Nobrow wouldn't do that! YET... he knew all too well that he had the power and if he ever wanted to be a bastard...this was the chance. How mighty and powerful this man is...? Nobody will ever know for sure, even Nobrow can't decide because he’ll just be blinded by his illusionary degrees.
When Nobrow and the diplomats had nearly reached the capital of the Qalampirian kingdom, Nobrow decided to leave the company. The Feasel men wanted to stay and camp for the last day before entering the capital. But Nobrow was too impatient since he couldn’t wait to finally enter civilization after leaving her good graces behind.
He shook hands with Graze, the tallest and largest Feasel of the group. His height reached the upper chest of Nobrow, exceptionally tall for a Feasel. Unlike Graze, Munch and Nibbel were even shorter, only reaching the waist of Nobrow. Munch and Nibbel both had short bow's for when they were in the wild hunting, but only Munch had a spear alongside him. Nibbel was clearly the smartest of the three and was probably the lead diplomat since he made the most conversations with Nobrow. Of course, Nobrow knew Nibbel was the smartest since he could understand him the best.

As dusk approached the horizon, Nobrow wished them good luck discussing and waved goodbye to his former company and continued down the road.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

The Descendent Protectors
With only three weeks left of summer vacation, Nora and her friends decided to road trip to a secluded territory with a wondrous lake in the northwestern region of Indiana. Unbeknownst to them, the territory has been claimed by one of the most powerful men in North America, and they were trespassing. A while later, Nora runs into this owner of the land, and despite his intimidating and powerful aura, there's another foreign emotion settling deep in her stomach whenever her dull brown eyes connect with his striking silver gaze. Unfamiliar to the feeling, Nora shrugs it off, completely oblivious to the fact that not only has she now captured the interest of the most powerful and dangerous man in North America, but has also set foot inside a whole different world known to only exist in mythical books.*Note: This is not your classical Werewolf story. *Top rankings:#1 in Romance - 3rd January, 2021#1 in Myth - 6th January, 2021#1 in Legend - 24th January, 2021#1 in Fiction - 9th August, 2021*Word count: 90,000 - 100,000

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
