《Grasping》Prologue
Advertisement
A dark-haired boy, who looked around the age of ten, woke up staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. Staying laid down on the bed he was on, he glanced around the hall, only tilting his head slightly to do so. He did not wish to alert anybody that he was awake. He quickly realised that he was laying on the top bunk of a double bunk bed. Around his bunk bed were other bunk beds arranged in an orderly fashion often seen in dorms. The boy suspected that he was indeed in a dorm of sorts. Sitting up, he glanced down at his comparatively small hands. Compared to his past life of course. Perhaps he was in an orphanage instead.
Licking his dry lips, the boy looked around for paper and utensils. While he did not find what he wanted, he did find alternatives. A box of crayons and a white blanket. Crawling to the head of his bunk he threw the pillow onto the floor and grabbed a crayon from the box. He then proceeded to smooth out his blanket. Preparing to ruin his blanket, he steadied his hand. Channelling his inner biology test taker, he drew a seed.
" Fuck. That looks terrible."
He whispered, staring at the abomination he dared call a seed. Quickly a moved to another empty space on the blanket and drew a sphere instead of a seed. Then, he wrote in English next to the sphere or pill as he called it.
This pill is a 5mm radius sphere. This pill will assimilate all abilities stated into the being that consumes it without hurting or changing the being in question. This pill will allow the consumer to " consume" anything using the concept of devouring. This pill contains the ability to transform anything that the being consumes into energy (Which will be stored in the being without hurting it.) or transform it into a new ability according to the user's wish. Upon consuming this pill, the abilities will be assimilated immediately.

With this, he reached his hand out towards the drawing and flexed the concept of grasping that he had dominion of. He grasped the pill pulling it from the second dimension into the third. Without even glancing at the pill, he stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed. In an instant, he felt power flow through him. He could feel it. The ability to devour. He mentally thanked the random omnipotent being for granting his wish.

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
