When did jack become so ..... Cool? I mean he blew up an ent with a single word!
Jack has always been kind to me. Like when we were chased down the mountain by a wild boar, after resting for a bit jack picked me up and carried me all the way up the mountain. 5 miles! Afterwards he collapsed and wouldn’t wake up for a week.
Jack has never been strong, he would always get beaten up in elementary school and I would have to rescue him. So when he took out that hobgoblin leader I was shocked.
Jack has always been able to adapt. It was the only lesson that he truly took to heart, adapt and overcome. He would find solutions no one else would think of, he was determined to succeed. Which didn't always happen (as evident by him getting beaten up all the time in elementary).
I have always liked jack. He was like a puppy that everyone loved. But now I think I’m truly falling for him.
I think ghost likes him, but how would that work? Simple, evolution. She could evolve into some kind of wolf-girl. Jack has always been weak to that type! I’m going to fall behind!
Ghost pov
I like master, he fed me when I was starving. Since I’ve been with him I’ve gotten a lot stronger.
Jack is really strong. He blew up a tree with a snap of his fingers! He is a great cook, and an even better hunter. I can’t wait to impress him with my next evolution!.
Johanna seems to see me as her rival. I can’t understand why, I mean isn't it natural to have multiple mates?
Also getting hit kinda feels good......

Authors note: in my opinion all tank characters are masochistic.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Now it’s known as the labyrinth, a dark and chaotic network of tunnels and caves where isolated tribes have adapted to survive.Follow Lyner, a mysterious hunter from the lower levels, and Add, a curious youth with their home collapsed from under their feet, as they traverse the Labyrinth and uncover its secrets and grow closer to each other. Warning for descriptions of injury, violence, and malnutrition. Nothing graphic, but still. Includes the use of a sign language that is part of a made up language for the setting that corresponds more or less one to one with the spoken language. This is not representative of any specific IRL sign language or trying to represent a specific community. With that clarified let’s climb down into the labyrinth.

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.
