《Grasping》Chapter 22: Comfort
Advertisement
Nuwa woke up startled. She clutched her head and tried to remember what had happened. The last thing she remembered was that her master had returned. Everything else felt so far in the past and so irrelevant that she immediately looked around for her master.
The first thing she noticed was that she was not standing up in the kitchen but on a bed.
' How did I end up here? Did master abandon me?'
She started tearing up and continued looking around frantically. Suddenly, her master appeared next to her on the bed and stared at her unblinkingly. Nuwa flinched, jumped off the bed and crawled to a corner of the room. Then, she proceeded to cower while staring at the boy. Magnus, however, simply gestured for her to come over and sit with him on the bed. He patted on the spot on the bed next to him and waited.
Sensing that she had no choice, the confused girl with jumbled memories made her way over to the bed. Sitting down next to her master, she twitched multiple times. Her body was afraid of the boy next to her. Yet, all she could feel was infatuation for the one she presumed to be a god. Her god.
While staring at him, Nuwa realised that she felt empty, incomplete. It felt as if someone had taken away something that had been a part of her for years. Something she never really noticed until now. Now, that thing was gone and she was unsure whether it would ever come back.
Her master did not speak, neither did she. However, the feeling of incompleteness was daunting. Subconsciously, Nuwa felt that she would go crazy if she did not fill the void, so she did something drastic. In an act of complete trust and bravery, she put her head on the monster's leg. A lap pillow essentially. The monster in question allowed it to happen.

Magnus had been observing the girl's turbulent mind the entire interaction and felt bad. Ironically the dimension eater felt bad for breaking his maid's mind. Since her actions, plays into how he had envisioned his relationship with the girl he had allowed her to show her affection.
He decided that having her suffer from Stockholm syndrome was better than letting her go into a fit of madness. He started giving head pats again and made a promise to the obviously obsessed girl.
" I promise you Nuwa, I shall visit you every once every month. I shall come at least once every month but for now... I shall stay. I need a break for a few months."
His mental health was important after all.

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com
