《Magic Beast Eaters》Prologue
Advertisement
In the darkness, a small red orb was floating thru the sea of nothingness.
Not far from it, other orbs of numerous colors were following behind it.
Those were the souls who recently passed away, on the path to be reborn again,
following the law of the ancient cycle, again and again...
[Huh... what's going on ? Where am I ?]
Confused, the red soul started looking around,
only to see nothing but a vast sea of darkness and the glowing orbs in it.
Most of the orbs were either blue, yellow or orange, but there were also a few white ones as well...
[Ah... that's right, I remembered... I died...]
Trying to shake its nonexistent head, thinking that what's done is done,
it started wondering what is going to happen next.
Is it going to go to heaven, or hell ? Or maybe somewhere else.
[Well, who cares... Floating like this isn't so bad either.]
But before it could get any more comfy,
a gigantic skeletal hand grabbed the red soul and separated it from the rest of the souls....
[Wh... what going on !?]
But before the red soul has any time to figure out what happened,
it heard a strangely calming voice of the older woman.
[Again ?]
Followed by a screeching childlike voices.
[How long was it since we send the other one to the demon realm ??]
[Should I send this one too ??]
[Can we, can we ??]
[Hush, little ones... Not yet.] Said the woman with her calming voice.
Red soul was paralysed, but before it could say anything,
a gigantic skeleton with a mannequin head emerged from the darkness, still holding it in its skeletal hand...
It had a long straight black hair, black lipstick, and a long black eyelashes on its closed eyes.

On its shoulders were four broken dolls, staring at the red soul with creepy smiles.
Its long black robe looked like it was one with the surroundings darkness itself.
It looked like a death himself, yet above its head floated a beautiful halo filed with strange markings.
[Do not be afraid little one, for I have a few plans for you...]
[Plans ?] Red soul asked.
[If we leave you like this, you will undoubtedly perish.
Now you have two choices, either to be sent to the "high class" world and be reborn,
or you gonna be sent to a demon realm and become a demon yourself...]
[Or maybe you just end up as some random demons snack!]
[hahahaha...]
[hehehehe...]
[hihihihi...]
Dolls creepy laughter echo through the darkness...
[SILENCE... So, what will you choose ?] The skeleton lady asked...
Red soul started thinking about the situation it found itself in.
The skeleton lady, the dolls, and the choices, everything have come too fast,
and it wasn't eager to make a hasty decision.
Going to the demon realm was a big no,no...
So that only leaves the other choice, but thinking about it, there may be a third choice.
[What did you mean by "high class" world ?] Red soul asked...
[It's a world my friend Minerva governs, it's a best world to send you to...
At least better to sent you there, then to one of those trash worlds I have a displeasure to govern...]
Said the skeleton lady with a sarcastic smile...
[Then wouldn't my choice be obvious ?!?] Red soul retorted.
[Maybe, but you DID kill yourself and I don't want to go through the trouble of sending you to another world
only to have you kill yourself again. It doesn't hurt to ask, no ?]

Said the skeleton lady as she put the index finger on her chin and tilt her head...
[No, no... That was... A hasty made decision, but I don't regret doing it.
Anyway if my only other choice is a one way trip to the demon realm,
I would take that second chance in another world any day.]
[Good, very good. Now I did say I have plans for you,
but your only job is to reincarnate and test that worlds prototype "world system" and see how it works.
Easy, no ? ]
[Wait, waitwaitwait there missy, hold your horses, what do you mean by that ?!?]
[You'll see soon enough. Also while we chatted, I already send you a "skill" gift that will help you out.
Pipi, Lala show our guest the door. Nana, Gaga, inform Minerva about this.
She's probably won't be happy though...] Skeleton lady replied and quickly given orders to the dolls.
[[[[ YES ]]]] Dolls responded jointly.
Before red soul had any time to ask anything further,
two dolls quickly grabbed it and started flying at the impossible speed into the darkness.
As it's conciseness began to fade, only one thought came to it...
[this still isn't such a bad thing]
And then everything turned into... light ?

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
