《Gallanor (On hiatus)》Chapter 21: Siblings

After deciding Darren wasn't worth her time Lilium turned back to her brother.
"What are you doing here?" (Lilium)
Gernam's false face became a large smile.
"Teaching." (Gernam)
The girl glared at her brother and her disbelief turned to anger. Then she pointed an outstretched hand in his direction. Those able to sense magic immediately tensed at the power of the spell. The moment the spell touched Gernam he went to his knees.
"You should have just disappeared. 1200 years you've been gone. If you think I'll let fil..."
She was interrupted by Darren before she could finish.
"Well aren't we full of ourselves. Before you say something you'll regret allow me to warn you. Insult or speak ill of him in my presence and I'll end your temporary existence faster than you can lift a finger." (Darren)
She turned towards Darren. Enhancing her sight she observed his mana capacity. Then she smiled.
"Though your mana capacity is astoundingly high. It's unrefined, you can't even cast a tier 2 spell." (Lilium)
"Like a human could even lift a finger against one of her kind. You should just know your pla..." (Elf student)
Before he could respond he suddenly face planted. The force pulling him down was so strong he couldn't even lift himself up.
The girls eye's narrowed.
"Weight magic?" (Lilium)
She had never seen it so powerful.
"If you think that's the full extent, .........well just try me and find out." (Darren)
Habbron was extremely uncomfortable with the situation. So he coughed to get the groups attention. Then motion to the students watching the encounter.
"Perhaps we should continue this somewhere more private." (Habbron)
"Yes I agree. I propose my classroom." (Gernam)
Habbron nodded. Turning to address the class.
"We will continue tomorrow. Dismissed." (Habbron)

Begrudgingly the students filed out of the large room.
Darren dispersed the minuscule amount of darkmatter that held down the elf. The boy filed out with the rest of the classroom but gave Darren a glare as if to say it wasn't over.
After arriving in Gernam's classroom Darren started the discussion.
"So is this a thing in your family. Being undead?" (Darren)
"Undead?" (Lilium)
She questioned almost convincingly.
"I don't know what those elves think you are. But I'm pretty sure you're a vampire." (Darren)
Her eyes widened. Then she suddenly appeared next to Darren. A blood red blade pressed to his neck.
"Give me one reason not to kill your friend." (Lilium)
"For one he knows I'm a lich so calm down. Second I'd let him go before she kills you." (Gernam)
Lilium suddenly felt an emmense pressure bearing down on her. In front of Gernam's desk a colossal wolf appeared.
"Remove yourself from my mate, whelp." (Lycan)
The vampire had no clue who the wolf was, but she could since the overwhelming power emanating from her.
Reluctantly she released Darren. Then she turned to her brother.
"How did you survive the lich hunts. And why did you never say anything." (Lilium)
"My abode was never discovered. However I knew the Arcanist would be constantly searching so I laid low. Even after 200 years they still almost caught me. So I set myself to research." (Gernam)
"For 1000 years?" (Lilium)
"180 actually. The rest is none of your concern." (Gernam)
The girl glared at her brother.
"Hey so umm are you going to answer my question?" (Darren)
"What question?" (Gernam)
"About your family being undead. Also why do those elves not know what a vampire is?" (Darren)
"Vampires are actually very well known. However most people call them nightkin. They also don't know a vampire's true nature. As undead or their eating habits. They just think they are a race of long lived enigmatic people. Even the elves don't trifle with them." (Gernam)
"How long did it take them to get themselves in that position?" (Darren)
"Only about 90 years of careful planning." (Lilium)
Darren nodded but said nothing further.
"So, Lilly how did you die." (Gernam)

Planet-Eater Reincarnation (in Star Wars)
He wakes up without being able to see, taste or hear. Or even smell! But, after developing an eye for himself, he's able to recognize two facts: one, he is no longer human, and two, he's not on Earth anymore. He's in the middle of an asteroid field, stuck on a moderately large one with nothing around him but endless space. Heck, he's not even in the solar system! And now it's up to him to grow larger and stronger in order to avoid being eaten. Going by the leviathan-sized creatures swimming about the asteroid field, he has a long way to go before he can so much as try to live calmly. ---- Don't let the fanfiction tag scare you off. This only barely takes place in that universe since I like the basics of the lore and nothing more. It will barely feature a single prominent character, and the focus will mostly just be on the main character trying to grow himself out of danger, in the meantime denying the very idea that he could possibly be lonely. The first few dozen chapters will entirely focus on him growing from almost a gnat all the way to a real asteroid-eater. After that, an actual story will appear. Got the idea when I was reading the 2017 Darth Vader comic and my mind suddenly flashed back to that scene in the original trilogy when they're in some asteroid field and almost get eaten by a big monster. I loved that scene, and my inhibitions will no longer chain me. Enjoy, but don't take this too seriously.

He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.
