《The one who came back...》The Surprising Turn of Events...
Advertisement
Ron shook in cold fear. No, no no. How could this be? Harry Potter was dead. After all, he had been the one to write his 'best friend's' obituary. He had been there when Neville and Hermione had read the eulogies.
Harry Potter is dead! I'm just seeing things. He chanted over and over in his head. Especially since, the boy did not look a day older than eighteen. But that theory of his failed when he saw The Dark Lord looking just as gobsmacked.
"H-how?" He asked, now positively shaking. The boy - he refused to call him Harry - just raised an eyebrow.
"Why Weasely, are you scared?" Sirius asked, "I'd thought that you were not afraid of anything, well,except for spiders. Did your not so dead best mate scare you out of your wits?"
"Honestly, Weasley. One would think that you would be positively ecstatic to see your best friend alive. What happened? Do you not want to hug Harry and tell him just how much you have missed him?" Remus taunted him.
"I wouldn't have ever, so much as thought that you of all people will betray me Ron. You were my first friend. My brother. And you did this to me?" Harry asked. "Why? Had I asked you to spare me some money? Had I treated you like dirt? Had I ever bossed you around? What did I ever do to deserve what I did?"
"I - I d-didn't have a ch-choice." Ron replied. "The only reason he ever befriended you was because I asked him to." Voldemort took over from the boy. Hmm. So, the self-proclaimed Lord was finally mobile enough to speak. "Now, if all the emotional crap is out of the way, let's come to the point. How are you alive, Potter?"
Harry arched his eyebrow at Tom Riddle. "Do you really want to know?" Voldemort, in turn, raised his eyebrow too, knowing that he should be probably hexing the three of them into oblivion but didn't do it because of two reasons. One, his wand had just blown up and Two, he was simply curious. What? Can I not be curious? Despite all that soul splitting, his curiosity had always been there.

"Umm ok. So, I really did die. But the thing is that I was brought back to life by Death. Ironical, right? I know. Anyway, he told me that I was his master. The Master Of Death. And so, I am immortal. So, you can't really kill me." Harry said, almost convinced that Voldemort couldn't do anything as he didn't have a wand anymore. So, why not?
"But I have the Elder Wand. How are you the Master of Death?" Voldemort asked. "Uh. About that. Okay. So, brace yourself." Voldemort's eyebrows shot up.
"The wand you had, was not the real one. I have the real one right here." Harry said, watching as The Elder Wand answered his call.
Voldemort felt his slight disappointment turn into anger. He was furious. No, scratch that. He was freaking livid! So he did nothing to control himself when his magic begun lash out at everyone present.
Harry had expected it to some extent, so, he quickly grabbed Siri and Uncle Moony and called upon Death. They watched as the Dark Lord's magic left only destruction in its wake.
When it was over, Ronald was surprisingly still alive. Hmmm. Anyway. "You done with your temper tantrum yet?" Harry mocked Riddle. He growled in warning.
Suddenly, a dull thud distracted them from their heated discussion. They turned to see Lucius Malfoy on the floor. Dead. Draco Malfoy stood over him. His wand still in the air. Harry could only stare.
"You don't actually take care of everything, do you Potter?" Draco drawled. "If I hadn't been here, one of your beloved uncles would've been dead while you still argued with The Dark Lord."
Harry shook his head and turned back to Voldemort, who was still seething, that another in his ranks had just died. Harry lifted his wand and just before he could cast a quick Diffindo and be done with all of it,while Riddle was not in his senses, a pained grimace resounded in the air.
This time Harry gulped.
How had he forgotten about Ronald? Throwing a Petrificus Totalus over his shoulder at Riddle, he turned to look in the direction the voice had come from.

Ronald had a sword through his stomach. The hilt of the sword was with Ge - no, no it wasn't George! It was Fred! Fred is alive!? How? Oh my gods. "Yeah yeah. I'm alive, little brother. Now go complete your pending work." This snapped Harry out of his trance.
He turned around casted a quick Homenum Revelio to check for any more hidden surprises. When he got no indication as to the same, he casted a Confringo, having decided at the last point that blasting the threat was better than trying to sever its into parts.
When Tom Marvolo Riddle, self-fashioned Lord Voldemort, inevitably blew up in smoke, leaving behind nothing except for dust, Harry finally let out the breath he didn't realise he had been holding.
He felt like a weight had finally been lifted off his chest when Siri tackled him in a hug. "You did it Harry! You did it!"
A giddy feeling spread all over his chest as he finally realised the meaning of the words just spoken to him. "We did it Siri! We did it!" He spoke, his voice barely a whisper as shocked laughter bubbled past his lips.
He felt himself dissolve in hysteria. He'd done it! They'd done it! They'd finally done it! Yes! He would've jumped up and down if Siri had not been hugging him so hard.
He turned to Uncle Moony and embraced him as well. After a good, long hug, Harry pulled out only to be tackled into another by Fred and George.
Harry was sitting on a cliff, his legs swinging as he thought about what all happened in the past week.
After they had all (except for Draco) returned to Thunder's hideout (The Potter Manor) and had had something to eat, the twins had begged him to tell them how the three of them were alive. When that explanation was over, he'd asked them the very same question, How was Fred alive?
From what he had been told, Fred had never died. He had been taken to St. Mungos the very day of the battle because George refused to believe that his twin was gone. Only George knew that Fred was alive and in a coma until he regained consciousness and they came back to The Burrow.
Harry had been killed by then. When they learnt what their mother, sister and youngest brother had done to him, they had left the family and returned to their appartment.
After that piece of information, they'd just bid each other Good Night.
Ever since, things had been good to say the least. Innocent were freed from Azkaban. People were informed of the victory. Hogwarts' staff was reinstated. Kingsley Shacklebolt was hailed the Minister. Shopkeepers in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley were returned their rights. Victims were given compensation.
They had also found Teddy. Looks like, after Harry had died, he had almost been shipped to Ronald to be taken care of. But Minerva had taken him away and raised the boy alone. When Remus had found that his son was alive and well, he had once again asked Harry to be his Godfather.
And Harry had agreed. Why would he not?
A loud 'Harry' broke through his train of thoughts. Teddy was running over to him. "Harry! Dad agreed to let me stay with you for the night! How good is that?" Harry beamed as he picked the small eleven-year-old up. "That's wonderful Teddy!"
Giving him a piggy-back-ride back to The Potter Manor, Harry smiled.
-Life couldn't be any better-
This is done! It's finally over! Woohoo! I can't believe that I have finally completed a book! Yes! Hope you liked this one! Believe it or not, it was one of the most difficult chapters I've ever written!
Thank you so so much for being there! I love you all! I can't thank you enough for tolerating my meltdowns and procrastinating tendencies! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so so sorry if I ever offended you. I solemnly swear I didn't want to. Also, thank you for the amazing 14k views!
Bye!

Killing Tree
When your day goes to hell and you find yourself kidnapped, strung up from a magical tree, and left to bleed out, what do you do next? Asking for a friend. Fortunately, Riordan Kincaid is a tough, gives-no-fucks honey badger shifter. Unfortunately, now that he's survived the first attempt, a death mage and their cult are determined to finish the job by whatever means necessary, pursuing Riordan across the wilds of rural Michigan. Ghosts and spirits are outside of his specialty, and heaven help him if he has to cast actual spells, but Riordan isn't going to make this easy on his enemies. Even if that means breaking his long exile, turning to the local shifter community for help, and dealing with a bureaucratic department of mages. And don't even get him started on getting licked by a damn spirit bear. Now he just needs to figure out what will kill him first: his enemies, his past, or his own attempts at using magic? Or will Riordan beat the odds and prove that honey badgers really are that hard to kill? If so, what will he do with a life once hung upon a tree that's more than a tree?

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking
