《Watching Grass Grow》Prologue Part 2: The Soul Exchange
Advertisement
Authors Note: I looked over my first release and have made improvements to the other chapters, I didn't realize the spacing was that bad. Anyway my story will have a pretty lengthy prologue, it's annoying I know but it will tie in to the rest of the story, eventually. It also let's me get some practice on my writing before I get to the good stuff, there will be proper speech in this one rather than an inner monologue, please tell me what you think it will help me to improve, thank you.
In a dimension outside of our own, 5 beings of immense power and authority have gathered to finalize the deal that will alter not only our world’s fate, but another by the name of Floera, now seated together forming a half circle these beings begin to converse.
[???] “So to clarify today’s agenda in exchange for the assistance of a certain God of Creation in protecting the Milky Way from an apocalypse, a being from Earth will be offered to Floera to act as a catalyst in advancing the current inhabitants. This being shall be chosen by the mentioned God of Creation with the permission of Earths current gods, any questions?”
(???) “I have a question Fila. What’s with the way you’re talking, you sound like a host for a talk show?”
[Fila] “Since it’s a rare chance to look at another Gods realm Amaethon, I decided to look at the local entertainment and might have been influenced slightly.”
(Amaethon) “You better be careful, that stuff will rot your brain and kill your personality.”
[Fila] “Really, but it was so entertaining how could it be so dangerous?”
{???} “Uhmmmm…. aren’t we getting off topic?”
[Fila] “Ah right sorry about that Irena, as I was saying the being to be transferred will be selected by Floera’s representative. So who is this being that has been chosen Alena?”

“I found an interesting lad by the name of Joseph Phisher; he seems at the appropriate age for transfer, while possessing the knowledge were after.”
[Fila] “Hades, as the flow of souls is your area of expertise what are your thoughts?”
=Hades= “Joseph Phisher, 18 years old, average life, neither good or bad karma, pretty decent education and he’s expected to die from an unfortunate meeting with a truck, pretty convenient.”
(Amaethon) “At least he can consider himself lucky for having a second chance…. Alena is something wrong you seem to be unsettled?”
“Yeah about that I might have acted on my own to get hold of the soul earlier.”
=Hades= “How so?”
“Don’t get angry I only moved a few objects, it was barely noticeable.”
[Fila] “Let’s use her memories as evidence and judge what happened for ourselves.”
“Wait…. What…. No Stop!”
Before the 5 beings a screen of light appeared and began replaying the final moments of Joseph Phisher from the eyes of his murderer, the Goddess of Creation.
(Amaethon) “What am I to say about this?”
=Hades= “You brain dead Goddess do you realize what you’ve done, over a dozen people just saw you bend, twist and break common sense before their own eyes.”
“You said he would die anyway….”
=Hades= “From a simple road incident, not a complicated supernatural phenomenon.”
[Fila] “If anything Alena, your methods took longer to kill him than the truck would have running him over.”
“I thought you were neutral in all this?”
{Irena} “I told you we should have left him alone.”
“Irena! You’re turning on me now.”
{Irena} “I’m sorry; please forget what I just said.”
(Amaethon) “So where is the soul that you procured?”

“I’m currently retrieving him from the void zone where I misplaced him after his death.”
{Irena} “Heeee!”
[Fila] “Oh my.”
=Hades= “You brain dead moron, do you realize what you’ve done?”
“What’s the problem, he was only there for a few minutes?”
{Irena} “Alena.”
[Fila] “Dear me.”
(Amaethon) “I agree with Hades, you must be clueless to leave anyone in the void zone for any length of time.”
“But there’s nothing that could harm him in that space?”
=Hades= “That’s the point; there’s nothing at all, an empty abyss with nothing but your own thoughts.”
(Amaethon) “It wouldn’t surprise me if he went mad.”
[Fila] “After 10 minutes he probably went insane.”
{Irena} “Alena, what have you done we needed him for our world.”
“Calm down…. Look I’ve got him; I will just bring him through now.”
=Hades= “This is going to be a nightmare.”
[(Fila & Amaethon)] “Agreed.”
{Irena} “Sorry about this.”
“Here he comes now, get ready.”

Shade: A Story of the Legacy
Save those you can. Avenge those you can't. In a world where friends are a liability, Night Riders like Shade have none. Riding alone keeps him alive and lets him help those who have no one else. But when a man who was once his friend—and knows the identity he cannot share with the world—chances upon him, Shade makes the mistake of making the smallest personal connection. But friendship can be a double-edged sword, and darkness haunts Shade's steps. Both are outlaws, hunted by those who conquered their nation. Capture means a slow and painful death; living means fighting a guerilla war against overwhelming odds. Shade has never believed in no-win situations, but even the most dangerous man in Evendar can only fight so many battles. Will this be his last? Set in the world of the Legacy, SHADE is a prequel to NIGHT RIDER, available on Kindle Vella.

Slam No Basuke
This is an experimental Light Novel. The life of an ordinary basketball player started to change as he began to use his hidden powers to enjoy the game he loves. Read as he navigates the pitfalls of life as he tries to balance his basketball career, his love life and the responsibilities given to him as a Master Ki practitioner known simply as the “Batoh.” I just feel that Fantasy Sports is not fully represented in Royal Road and this is my attempt to do one. Additional chapters will come haphazardly since I am juggling another story. And now that I am doing this, I suddenly realize that I need to research a lot of the sports and this may or may not affect the speed of delivery for the next chapters. MATURE [17] FOR FOUL LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL INNUENDO. And without further ado, I gave you SLAM NO BASUKE.

This is a story of two worlds. One filled with sentient robots and the other with humans and magic. The fate of these very different worlds intertwine as our MC Ryuu, a human boy, is the only survivor of a galactic experiment carried out by these robots. Due to his survival, the robots target humanity and desire to capture all humans for their own gains. Humanity is on the edge of extinction and they don’t even know it. Despite the changes within Ryuu, can he stay true to humanity? Or will the 'experiment' change Ryuu into something more than human? Perhaps something less? --------------This is my first fiction so I hope you all enjoy! New chapter every Saturday. OLD READERS: You are few in number, but possibly out there? Sorry for leaving you hanging for so long but in this time I’ve had a considerable number of ideas for the plot and have gathered myself together. I’ve rewritten the prologue and chapter one slightly which I highly encourage you to read again for the new plot details which will become important in due time, as well as to refresh your memory. Thanks again for taking an interest in this one’s work.
