《The Sleeping Immortal》Chapter 16 - Failure
Advertisement
As Fiend Yuki was traveling towards his body, just derping along with no real purpose because this was literally all he could do. He suddenly face planted into the ground, and for some odd reason just kept going further and further into the ground.
When he finally did stop going any further Fiend Yuki looked around and saw nothing other than him being in a Fiend Yuki sized pit around 10feet under.
Bewildered Fiend Yuki wiggled around till he could stand up which was harder than he thought due to the hole being in his shape making it hard to maneuver. Feeling himself all over with question marks for eyes looking for just ONE reason, JUST ONE why he just did not feel any pain whatsoever when he created this hole when he did a mega fail trip.
Chalking it up to him being technically still asleep, Fiend Yuki hopped up to the hole, but just barely undershot it, landing half outside half in. ‘oof’
Only to slowly slip back into the hole. As Fiend Yuki was just about to fall back in.
*SPLAT* *THUD*
Something splatted right into his face, forcing Fiend Yuki back into the hole. Slow reaching up his hand to run whatever it was out of his face, as he touched it whatever it was felt warm, and gooey. As Fiend Yuki raised his hand to eye level to look at it. Only for his eyes to widen and an inhuman shrill scream to tear out of his throat. “AHHHH WHAT THE HELL THREW SHIT AT ME!”
Unable to control his strength from his rage at getting shit thrown at his face, Fiend Yuki jumped full force out of the hole, sky rocketing an extra 20 feet about it. As he was thinking of how to torture and kill what threw poop at him, Fiend Yuki overlooked one small detail. The landing.

As Fiend Yuki was approaching the ground he didn’t even bother looking at where he’d land but just searched for his prey.
As his toes touched the ground his knees buckled and Fiend Yuki lost his balance causing his arms to windmill and him to fall backwards.. Back into the very hole he just jumped out of.
Falling backwards, and he landing, the only thing that went into the hole was his butt causing Fiend Yuki to look a V with both his feet pointed towards the sky, and his face nearly kissing his knees if he’d stretch farther.
That was when, whatever threw poop at him appeared. It was for all intents and purposes appeared to be a monkey that had fist sized eyes that looked like swirls, shaggy hair that blended into the background, needle like claws on its small almost baby like hands that stretched out for a good 8 inches, and had a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
Its sudden appearance started Fiend Yuki that he did actually kiss his knees, causing him to slide even further down the hole which made only the top of feet visible above it.
Which only server to make the weird monkey make a “GEE GEE GEE GEE” sound, only further infuriating the shit cover faced Fiend Yuki. Because… the monkey was laughing at him.
Then the monkey struck. It lept towards Fiend Yuki’s exposed feel, jabbing down with its needle like claws which glimmered causing them to move in a weird untrackable way. As the needle like claws stuck Fiend Yuki head the only sound it made was a
*TING* *SNAP*
Because as the needle like claws hit Fiend Yuki, not only did they not hard him and bounce off, but since the monkey stuck with such force and its claws are so delicate compared to Fiend Yuki’s impervious sleeping body the only outcome was that those needle claws on the monkeys hands to snap like brittle pottery. Causing the monkey to “SKREEEEEEEEEEE” hopping away and high tailing away from Fiend Yuki’s stuck body.

Wiggling himself up slowly from the hole, Fiend Yuki was finally out and free. Was he happy? FUCK NO is all that he’d reply.
With anger and rage at the monkey that threw poop on him, Fiend Yuki continued his journey to get back to where his body was, when suddenly. *PING*
He got a notification from the system.

Adventures of the Goldthirst Company
Get the quest, kill the monsters, grab the loot, don't die. How hard can adventuring be? When the party is a fashionista wizard who'd rather stare at her reflection than dirty herself with actual combat, a thief that picks locks by ripping them apart, a paladin trying to do the right thing, and an archer that's better at talking to plants than people, then even a simple quest can prove a challenge. Hired for a variety of tasks, from retreiving the legendary Dragon's Veil to bodyguarding the wealthy, thwarting apocalyptic prophecies, or uncovering not-so-abandoned elven ruins, the problems in their way may well prove their undoing; lonesome medusas, sticky-fingered psychopomps, agressively passive golems and fearsomely violent geography stand in their way, as well as the minor issue of simply not actually trusting, or even liking, each other! Releases twice weekly, generally Tuesday and Friday (Art by Sin Soppitt)

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
