《Re:Asura》Chapter 18: The Bewitching Girl
Advertisement
The blue light of the morning sun entered through the windows, and Asura was still staring at the scroll in his meditative position. As the sun rose, changing the blue light to yellow, the crows of the roosters could be heard. Soon, the children in the other rooms were starting to wake up, groggily heading out of the bedrooms and to the Dining Hall.
"Tock tock!" Asura heard someone knocking on the wooden door of his room. Finally looking away from the scroll, his neck creaked as he turned his head towards the door. Faking a loud yawn, he asked.,"What is it?"
"Nanny Lan asked me to wake you up and bring you to the Dining Hall." A girl's honey-sweet voice answered.
"Coming!"
Opening the door, Asura's skipped a beat as he saw the prettiest girl he had ever seen in this world, who was also looked to be slightly younger than him. Wearing a sky blue dress, her hair was a rich shade of mahogany, flowing in waves as if it was meant to adorn her porcelain-like skin. Looking at him was a set of bewitching eyes that seemed to have captured a thousand men's souls.
"Are you done staring at me?" The bewitching little girl snapped.
On the way to the Dining Hall, she moved with the grace of a swan, her wavy hair swaying with every step she made.
Other than the occasional stares she got from the boys, it was a rather uneventful walk.
At the Dining Hall, the rows of tables were filled with foods of all sorts, ranging from roasted meats to fruits to foods that Asura had not seen before.
"Jesus, this looks like a scene right out of a movie, that Parry Hotter movie, I think?" Asura suddenly recalled a movie he had often watched as a teen in his previous world. Having spent 12 years in this world, he had already forgotten a lot of things he had known from his previous world.

"You can sit over there," The bewitching girl pointed towards an empty wooden chair that had been left free for Asura, before walking off to join her friends.
As Asura sat down on the wooden chair, his gaze was not directed towards the resplendent feast on the table right in front of him, but was on the girl who had made his heart palpitate so early in the morning.
"Dude, what're you staring at? The food's gonna get cold, ya know." Said a red haired boy with a lanky build, looking no older than ten, biting a chunk off of a turkey leg.
"O-Oh, you're right." Asura looked towards the red haired boy, greeting him with a smile.
"The name's Khara. What's yours?" Khara grabbed another turkey leg and offered it to Asura, his face revealing a smirk with a touch of rebelliousness in his hazel eyes.
"Asura."

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

Jeremy Finds A Dragon
Jeremy, a teenage boy with a freakish talent for the clarinet, is less than thrilled when his mom announces that they’re up and moving to a tiny village on a tiny Scottish island the summer before his senior year of high school. But Dunsegall turns out to be an okay sort of place, if you like cliffs, sheep, and small-batch ice cream made by a family obsessed with Ray Charles. Two teenage locals — Colin and Aggie — quickly pull Jeremy under their wing and decide to give him a summer he’ll never forget. Everything is mostly fine until one day, in the depths of the woods, they stumble across a two hundred year-old monk and a living, breathing — or, rather, snoring — dragon who need their help. Together, Jer, Col, and Aggie delve into the hidden history of the island, getting up to their elbows in heresy, Highland Games, and, somehow, romance.
