《Primal Beast》Chapter 13: Blue Lagoon
Advertisement
What assail his ears was the metallic chirr of teeth vs claws, throwing all his sensory receptors in shambles. Opening his eyes inches away from inscrutable peril had left his pupils dilated in trepidation.
A ghastly water beast was on the verge of clamping its hulking jaw on his small frame, the only thing holding it back was the pure black talons of Zeng Ru’s beast form. The water beasts features were an amalgam of a sea turtle and a simple fish, its jaws lined with razor-sharp ivory fangs.
The beast released a snort in agitation spewing water.
「Heh...child’s play.」Zeng Ru scoffed as he nimbly deflected the beasts onslaught.
As he shoot backwards he grabbed Ah Zhong by the scruff hurling him to the dry land. With the force he was hurled with he resembled a high speed projectile, friction; and gravity worked on his body slowing his momentum.
Ah Zhong crashed to the ground rather inelegantly, pain flared as he tumbled forward his limbs sprawled outward. The claws with he desperately embedded in the ground below him were caked with mud as he had tried to slow his body.
Gaining his bearing back he watched the violet intense clash of the beasts came to effect the battlefield. Water turbulently splashed in all directions, and even the trees trembled in their might.
「You...why are you?」,Zeng Ru’s sentence was left unfinished as the beast continued assaulting him,
He launched another attack, his claws came away with nothing but water.
「Tsk, this is going to be more troublesome than I thought...」Zeng Ru grumbled to himself.
He could not fathom how a beast of this caliber had so senselessly lost its rationing. Its frenzied gaze was so sinister like it had been soaked in poison, its scarlet eyes bore into his. A murky miasma shrouded is body forming protection against his deadly claws. He would have been able to formulate a plan if he wasn't being hounded doggedly unable to extradite himself.

He shook his head in dejection,「You've forced my hand. 」
With a single thought his body transfigured.
What remained behind was the figure of a human with beast like traits, such as his wings and his taloned fingers and toes.
Zeng Ru could already feel the burden of this form on his body however, that did not stop his from sending his palm in the water beast direction.
The beast let out a miserable roar as it was flung backwards. Yet, it wasn’t long before the beast had recovered. He couldn't be bothered by its feeble attempt at a struggle. In the center of his palm a coal-black lance was forged, a baleful aura weaved around it.
The neutral expression on his face had dissolved, replaced by chilling murder that spread in his eyes,「Let's end this. 」
As he lifted his palm the armament levitated seamlessly in the air, then with a simple motion he attacked.
Yet, before the lance made it far it reversed its trajectory bearing instead towards its own proprietor. Zeng Ru hadn't the time to prepare before it had embedded itself into his shoulder, ripping the fine fabric that had covered the area.
Blood rolled down his shoulder and he clutched at the shaft with his hand.
「Ugh...again.」He cried out in pain.
Ever since that dreadful day his powers frequently mutinied against him, as if aiming for his life. He grit his teeth drawing the weapon out of his flesh and splattering blood on various parts of his body. Blood had gushed steadily from his wound and as it reached the end his fingertips, it fell to the pond below.
Zeng Ru winced as he willed his powers to perform, and they did; once more guided forward toward the beast. This time the lance made purchase with the water beast, disrupting the miasma and piecing its core.

It’s eyes stare at him in regret and aggrievement, unwilling to die just like that. Yet, there was nothing it could do both the beast and its core shattered not a trace left behind. An eruption of energy rocked the earth and sent Zeng Ru backwards.
He landed on his feet besides Ah Zhong his toes dug into the ground.
「A-Are you alright? 」Ah Zhong asked his voice shaking faintly.
Zeng Ru held his arm staring vacantly into the sky,「En….」
「However we can’t stay here. Let us leave, I feel something ominous in the wind. 」
Everything was still and that had disturbed him.

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
8 218We Never Use Our Powers for Anything Important
The world was once in peril. Wars were fought endlessly, creatures from beyond the Veil invaded the world, and greedy men almost tore the world apart. In the midst of all this madness, the world created Overseers— gifted people granted with unique powers. But that was a hundred years ago. Autumn Mountain Academy is the premier Overseer School in Japan. Here, thousands of the world's most powerful Overseers gather to learn how to harness their powers. But with the world already safe and peaceful, these gifted individuals can only use their incredible powers on the most mundane of things. Cheating in exams, playing pranks on one another, stealing some unlucky freshman's deliciously made bento— no rebellious deed is safe. Only one person is willing to fight against this juvenile idiocy— her name is Ayane Tsukino, a rare S Rank Overseer and president of the student council. Conditions in the school have improved because of her reign, because few people could challenge her overwhelming might. Enter is Hideaki Kimura, a boy interested in nothing but living a stereotypical high school life, maybe have it culminate with a cheesy romance if things go well for him. But his humble dream is shattered when he finds himself clashing with the most powerful Overseer in the school.
