《A curious cat's life in a new world》Fight with a Cockatrice
Advertisement
As the strong gust of wind slowly dissipated they saw a creature with sleek gray feathers perched on a branch of a plant that resembles the Kauri Tree. It's majestic red crown hanged to the side of it's head while it's razor sharp claws are clamped deep into the tree branch. In a moment it inhaled a full breath of air and puffed out it's chest as it menacingly glared towards the sky as if in defiance against the heavens. The proud beast stretched it's neck out, spread it's wings and widened it's stance before finally letting out a howl that resounded throughout the forest...
KOOOOOOOKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIYOOOOOOOOKKIIIYOOOOOOO!
Kale: "Not again... this is the n-th time that this cockatrice escaped the farm. Hey what are you thinking about little one did that scare you?"
Kale noticed that Airi hasn't been moving as it stared at the large flock of cockatrice gathered below the tree where the sleek brown cockatrice was perched.
Hen1: Cluck-cluck "Your majesty please grant us your gaze!"
Hen2: Cluuck! "Kyaa! So handsome!"
...
Airi: stomach growling (These are chicken. Chicken are my and mom's favorite. Mom makes food with chicken. Food means chicken nuggets... CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!!!!) gulp
Without thinking twice Airi immediately rushed towards the flock and slowed down to prowl as the cockatrice continued praising at the cockatrice on the tree.
Kale: "Hey what do you think you're doing!"
Kale's shout alerted the flock and the cockatrice atop the tree saw him. The confused hens began looking around nervously.
Hens: uuurkk? ("What's going on is the keeper here to take us all back again?")
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiyookk.("Don't worry it's just the Brownie from that exploding house.")
rustle rustle ... rustle ...
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiikkyoookk! ("You there get away from that maiden!")
Just as Airi had begun to pounce on a hen the cockatrice dove down from the tree and landed a kick on her and placed himself infront of the flock to block Airi's path.

Airi: growl ("Who are you? How dare you deprive me of my chicken nuggies!")
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiiyuurrkk kkyoookk! ("I am the one who shan't stand idly by as you struck fear into the hearts of these fair maidens. My name is Prince, now back off vile creature into the pits of which you came from")
However as Prince stood inbetween the heartstruck flock and the hissing Airi with her claws clenching the ground he felt dread. Yet he still glared back courageously at Airi as he stood his ground. Prince thought to himself
Prince: (How did I get myself into this mess? Please just go away already I'm still too young and handsome to die!)

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
