《The Making of a God Slayer》Side Story: Queen of Thorns is Scared
Advertisement
(Lilulana, Queen of Thorns's POV)
I move my hand, making various spikes grow from inside the man. I looked around. I'm standing in an alley, in the middle of the slums of this city, the port city that is closest to the demons. I raised my hand and touched my horns, that grow from my purple hair.
I sight. I came here intending to go to the demon's city, but no ship goes there. I really want to go there... even though I have horns, I don't know if I am a demon. My mother, a vampire, said that I would find my answers here. These were her last words before she died.
So, I began my ten years journey from my pacific clan to this place, crossing from my original continent to this one. And now, I can't go foward because of this damn humans. I gazed at the corpse of the man that I just killed. A common bandit, tht tough that I would be a good sell to the slave traders.
Of course, althought I didn't concealed my purple hair, I did hid my horns, eyes and tail from the humans. Actually, I know my strenght level, and I'm sure that I'm above the first demon, Lucifer. Althought I don't know if I'm stronger then the actual demon king.
I hear someone coming on this direction... guards, eh? So someone with conscience saw this guy taking me in this alley. Well, let's get out from here before I'm seen. I jump to the top of one of these buildings, and go jumping until I land in the top of a tower in the middle of the city. From here, I can see everything.
I look at this city for some time. I was born around 300 years ago, in a clan of vampires. My mother was part of the nobility until the day that I was born. Althought she was despised because I was a half vampire, and got sick when I was born, dieing slowly over these years, she was the strongest vampire.

Probably, she was the only one that I couldn't beat in my entire life. The only one, I'm sure that I can kick the ass of some ancient dragons out there. As I was chilling on the roof, I felt someone gazing at me, So I looked back at that gaze. I could clearly feel that someone was looking straight to my eyes.
Fufufu~, isn't this one quite a bold one? I really hate when someone spies on me. I don't know who my father is, or what he is, but he gave me an strong illusionary eye power, as well a great control over my bloodlust. I'm proud that I can make a demon piss it's pants just by looking at me.
This direction... is this coming from the demon continent? It's pretty far... Even if I strenghten my eyes I can't see the shores of that place. I direct half of my bloodlust. You should feel honored, I almost never use half of my bloodlust, never found an oponnent able to sustain it.
I was too late to notice my mistake. A strong pressure hit's me, and I feel as if I am an ant being stared by a giant dragon. This... is much stronger then the bloodlust that I'm able to release! Bloodlust raises as you kill, and by bloodlust you can see if your enemy is actually stronger then you.
This strenght... this pressure... This being certainly is strong enought to destroy a whole race by himself... I would believe if someone told me if it has killed the entire dragon race in one attack! I lose my balance and almost fall from the tower that I'm standing on.
As I get terrified, the pressure stops, and I feel the gaze moving away as if it has lost it's interest. Only then I notice that I was holding my breath. What the hell was that... even against my mother I never felt this kind of pressure... It almost felt like gravity magic.

...
I have to find this being, no metter what. Even if it's extremely dangerous, I need answers, and if there's something that can look from that continent to this one and focus on me like this, it must be absurdly strong... I at least expect that it can hear what I have to say before killing me...
Onwards, to the demon continent!

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042

Chosen of Silver
In the lands of Neden, children with gates--birthmarks able to accept and hold the power of soulstones--are collected every five years, when they reach age fifteen to nineteen. It is nearly time for the newest cohort to be celebrated and then conscripted, and with that day looming, those whose lives are about to change wait impatiently for their destiny to arrive...or try to find a way to avoid it: Cal, a refugee from the nation of Caas, doesn’t want to go to Kellingherth to gain the powers of man, beast, or element, and he certainly doesn’t want to join the war efforts after that. The only things he’s dying for are a good drink, dance, and girl, in no particular order. His best friend Raff prefers his sweat to come from a hard day's training than an evening carousing and wishes Cal did, too. He wants to accomplish more with his life than becoming a simple palace sentry like his estranged father and will do whatever it takes to get there. And they are just two of many. When the tenuous peace of the realm is threatened by the arrival of an old enemy, these young chosen will likely be swept up in events rather than prevent them, but the future cannot be rushed or escaped, only experienced.
