《The Alpha's Beta (BOOK 1)》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I force my self out from my nightmare.
I look round, yep still sitting under the tree, I'm fine, absolutely fine, nothings happening to me, I'm fine.
I sigh, a single tear going down my face; at least I didn't get to the worst part off the dream. I haven't had this dream for a good few months; I finally managed to stop having them. I suppose where my dad brought up that sensitive subject I would start having them again. Great, I needed less sleep than I already got anyway.
I get my self up from the floor, and start very slowly finishing the rest of my jog. I should be back in about half an hour. I look up at the sky and notice that it's already starting to get dark, oh my god, how long was that 5 minute power nap, and I slept through breakfast and lunch! Suppose I should get moving.
The jog back is as easy as anything, thanks to my power nap. I mentally face palm myself, who really sleeps that long?
I decide I'm not ready to go back and see my dad yet. I make my way to the pack house. I go through the back door as I know there are spare t-shirts and trousers in case anyone comes back in wolf form and needs to cover up.
I grab a set and make my way to one of the bathrooms, when I get there I step inside quietly closing the door behind me, no one needs to know why I'm here and not at home. I put the clothes on the side and begin to undress.
I turn the shower on and set it to the right temperature. I just stand under it for a while thinking back on some of today events.

My brother being an annoying pest, the fight with my dad, and that stupid, stupid dream! I come out of my thinking state and immediately punch the shower wall, so hard that I actually break the tile with ease and have made a dent onto the wall behind. I push both of my hands against the wall leaning over. I'm panting with how angry I am, my canines exposed. I'm in such a state I don't know that I've cut my hand and that blood is trickling down my arm.
"Kara, are you ok?"
I swing my head round to the closed door, that voice, its Thomas, my best friend.
"Erm, yeah I'm fine"
I look at the wall to see the damage I've caused, then down at my hand, to see that I've seriously split the skin on my hand open
"Are you sure? I heard a loud bang"
"Yeah of course, I just, I just erm ... slipped"
Slipped?! That was the best excuse I really could come up with?! No wonder I failed at drama classes, I would get an oscar for the worst actress ever with that performance.
"Righttt, ill just wait outside till you're done, we really need to talk."
I look down, I'm not in the mood for talking, it's clearly not done me much good today, but I suppose being my best friend I should hear him out.

Isaac Unknown: The Albatross Tales (Book 1)
Everywhere Isaac goes people die. The magician has learned to shrug in the face of death. Not foolhardy enough to laugh, nor fast enough to run, he greets its repeated appearance with blasé resignation. Whether he's collecting arcane artifacts for the mysterious agency known as Arrangement or doing a freelance demon summoning, all of his half-hearted attempts at preserving life seem to go awry. Blanketed by the shadow of his former master - a magician most believe to be a myth - Isaac just wants to do his job and keep his head low. As he encounters professional witch hunters, a failed feline familiar, angry cannibals, a possessed moonshine jug, and a competitive cabal of necromantic surgeons, Isaac finds that he's becoming very popular with the wrong kind of people.

Though upon entering into this new world our Hero quickly discovers everything was much less fairy tail like than he imagined. It's a world run by the strong and ruled by the corrupt. The weak live everyday in torment and slavery with no means of escape while the lands are constantly engulfed in war between guilds, kingdoms, and countries. Follow the man who would eventually flip this world on its head. Starting an orphanage and even establishing his own Kingdom of Shieldfriegan known now as the The Shield of the Weak. A man known by so many names he lost track of them all..... Beast from the East, God Slayer, The Divine Chef, and even for a brief time ' Vali the Reaper ' . But alas all this was only the beginning. This tale is the story ...of my champion."PS. If you enjoy an OP MC in an even more OP world, you'll like this. Also I will hopefully clean and redo old chapters in time since my dialogue might not be great. I also enjoy doing other POV's, because half the fun of being OP in a new world is getting to see how everyone reacts about it. *Artwork done by Lenni Olinsson

8 198Majority Rule
Readers choose from a selection of options for participants of a survival game show known as "Can Anyone Beat Level 10?". Each level has some monsters to kill and a boss at the end. Treasure chests and traps are available. Treasure chests, if opened successfully, give decent weapons, first aid kits, etc. If unsuccessful, treasure chests will either explode, taking some health from player or do become permanently closed. Monsters in dungeon levels depend on the theme of the week. This game show occurs on the first week of every month. The game just showed up out of nowhere and many people were interested in it as they attended the live version of the show. As for its mysteries...well, who knows? Maybe someone will solve them some day. But, for now, let the games begin! This is a story that depends on the votes of the viewers using the poll system. I will probably wait a week or so per poll in order to accumulate enough votes. After the week is up, viewers can still vote but it won't affect the story. This is my first interactive fiction so it might not be on par with the better ones. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading this story. Thanks.
8 235Star 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. Their job is to protect the human colonies and defeat whoever tries to threaten them. But everything changed when a mysterious race of alien bugs appears from the unknown and attack the planets. To order to stop the bugs, the Star Cats must find an alien artifact with the mysterious potential of stopping the invaders. 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.
