《Grasping》Chapter 37: Thinking
Advertisement
Nuwa stared at the blue globe of a planet, yet another iteration of her beloved's favoured world, Earth. However, she was not thinking about the destruction that she had intentionally wrought nor the 'salvation' that she had brought. Rather she was thinking of her 'beloved', Magnus. Even away from him, she could not help but think of him.
It was as if she was programmed to do exactly so when away from his presence.
' Perhaps he really did program me. That would make a lot of sense. Maybe that is why he let me out of Cenere so easily. Is he not worried that I would simply run away?'
Nuwa was thoroughly confused by Magnus' actions. Initially, he acted like a hunter, ready to kill whatever it was that he fished from the river of space and time. Then, he acted like a regular man, finding a naked woman drenched and sitting next to a riverbank. Then like a kidnaper who had found his fetishes all packed into one girl. A scientist who had found a new experiment. A caring father who had accidentally hurt his daughter.
' For the past thousand years or so as a husband who had just wed. What a weirdo... Could he not have proposed or something. Would have been easier to turn him down. Instead, he had to act like a proper caring boyfriend.'
Sighing, Nuwa began staring at a rapidly burning down continent on the currently still partially destroyed planet.
' Australia burned again? Damn, those humans there need to get a system laid for those forests.'
No longer caring about something that seemed to occur daily in that particular continent, Nuwa continued reminiscing about her beloved.
Over the past 1000 years that they had been together, Magnus seemed to have developed a fear of death. Despite the fact that Nuwa was 99% certain that he was well and thoroughly immortal and thoroughly unable to die. After all, if one can make other people immortal he himself should be one too.

' Perhaps I should remind him when I get back. I wonder if other beings like him also give out immortality like candy. Wait, do I even want to go back?'
A relatively dumb question, she thought to herself. Of course, Nuwa had to go back. She needed to see her dear Magnus after all. However, she could not help but be confused. On one hand, she was certain that she had been kidnapped by Magnus, yet it felt more accurate to say that she washed up on Magnus' beach and he simply gave her shelter. At least that is what Magnus had told her when she had asked him why he had taken her in.
She could not help but believe him. Nuwa stared blankly at the planet.
' It is all according to the perspective I suppose. That is something he said too. Hmm...'

The Calculator - Supervillainess Time Loop
What makes a terrifying villain? Is it ruthlessness? Is it how powerful they are and how many buildings they can down in one blow? Is it how hard they are to kill, contain, or get rid of in any manner? Is it their knowledge of a hero’s true identity in a world where secrets must be kept? Or is it perhaps how they seem to be perfect in all their actions, defeating the hero at every step of the way throughout to the last one, only to humiliate them one last time before declaring themselves the winner in the grand scheme of things? Isabella Blair is perfect. She knows all your moves before you even make them. All your ambushes are faced with traps and she dodges all your blows like it’s child’s play. Catching her is impossible because she’s always ten steps ahead of you. She says she calculated everything, but she messes up in every fight. She loses far more than she wins, sometimes a hundred times for just one small victory. Yet, she is perfect. How is that possible, you may ask. That’s because she has the uncanny ability to return to the past whenever she makes a mistake. All that’s left in the end can only be what’s perfect if all the realities in which you’ve lost are gone, after all. And that makes for one hell of a terrifying profile. Crossposting on ScribbleHub, SpaceBattles, and Wattpad. Don't mind the "Pre-Rewrite" Volume. It is there for reference until the story catches up to the chapter count via the Rewrite (and to justify the current reviews as there would be no context to them otherwise). If you are a first-time reader, feel free to start from the other Volume.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

Star Cats
Tyger and his friends are a group of genetically engineered cat humanoid, raised to become star rangers for the intergalactic human federation, called the Star Alliance.

They will travel to different worlds, fight different space monsters, and raid two alien temples before the bugs exterminate everyone across the galaxy. Will they be able to save humans, or will they fall? Note: There might be grammar errors I missed because this is my first draft. This fiction will also be a novella. I will post the chapters between 6 pm and 10 pm.

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.
