《Story Ideas and Beginnings》Earthen island Goddess
Advertisement
Slumbering underneath the somewhat cold and at the same time warm earth of a big island deep in the ocean, is being who´s form remains undefined.
It is unclear where the earth ends and the being begins, but not only is its body in this state, its mind and soul are too.
One with the island and some of the surrounding ocean floor, this being sleeps peaceful for thousands of years undisturbed by anything.
Day for day it breaths together with the trees and plants above, eats with the animals roaming the island and enjoys the calmness of live.
This goes on till one fateful day when a new being of similar nature arrives on the island from a faraway place.
With the presence of the new being powerful winds stir on and around the island till they escalate into a full-blown storm, which shakes mountains, rips trees out of the ground and blows animals into the sky.
The destruction and death caused by this storm which was created by the presence of the new being, nudge the deeply slumbering being awake, even if only slightly.
With low rumbling that was drowned out by the new beings raging storm, the consciousness of the previous sleeping being slowly starts to gather together from all over the island and even the ocean floor around it.
The more of the once spread out consciousness returns to its still slumbering body, the stronger the shaking of the ground became, and the once low rumbling sound grew loud enough to rival thunderclaps.
Once half of the being consciousness was restored, it released a terrifying roar which shook the already damaged island even future, creating unimaginable deep ravines and turning valleys into new mountains.
The new being which came from beyond the ocean and is currently floating atop of the highest mountain of the island, turns its head in the direction of the roar.

It had the form of beautiful bright blue, giant bird with gusts of strong wind carrying it and eyes that seem to contain a terrifying storm with occasional lighting.
A moment after the bird heard the roar coming from the center of the island a formless pressure descends upon the whole island and surrounding sea.
The pressure felt like an echo of the previous roar, reverberated through its body, and dispersing the raging storm on the island in but a moment.
The beautiful bird was immediately stricken with fear, every instincts screams at it to flee as far as possible from this island.
Only with great difficulty did the blue bird manage to resist them and instead lands on a mountain nearby where he lowers his head as low as he could.
From what it understood of the current situation, it intrude into the resting ground of an extremely old and powerful being, so if it were to flee it would only enrage the being more and it heavily doubts that it could out run this being, so the bird instead decided to apologize and admit its fault in hopes of forgiveness.
With her head lowered to the ground, the giant bright blue bird releases its intensions of apologizing and acceptance of punishment.
The concept of using words or language to communicate was unneeded for being like them that can transmit intentions and knowledge through telepathic means.
Waiting silently for the reaction of the other being, the giant blue bird laments in her head about her current situation.
She just managed to flee from her old home which was invaded by another pantheon of deities, and run off into the unknown ocean in hopes to find a new place to settle, only to come across this island with the hidden monster within.

Just as she finished her line of thought, the other being forcefully creates a mental link between them, through which it tells the giant blue bird that it will forgive it as long as it does not do something like this again.
Also, she was free to go, but in the case that she wants to remain on the island, she will have to make sure that there is never to less or to much rain, no storms ravage the land and inform her when there is a situation with which she couldn't deal.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
