《New Escape》New Escape Special Number One
Advertisement
A forest approximately 1300 miles away from Rodenheim City is populated by extremely powerful monsters, this forest is known only as 'The Forest of Forbidden Beasts' can only be traversed by the strongest of people, any less then awe inspiring abilities leads to death. Within this forest absolute destruction awaits any who enter.
Yet during passing weeks strange sounds have been heard originating from the forest, like screams not from man, but from beast.
Showing the legendary beasts of the forest only a fraction of his power a man fights them head on without even a sword. A speed so fast his appearance isn't visible to normal onlookers a hooded figure wearing a black robe sends another huge beast to it's grave.
"These things are too weak..." the seemingly young man scratches his head in annoyance.
Walking up to the rhino like monster the man places his foot on it's head and begins crushing the metal like hide. The hide is so hard it should be considered an exoskeleton, made of a strong metal with a purple luster the hide of this beast is extraordinarily valuable among warriors able to carry it. Adding a little extra force the skull of the monster collapses, forcing blood to spray from the now torn hide.
"Ahh now I've done it this head could have been sold for quite a bit..." Due to the minor annoyance he kicks the head away, propelling it through the forest, toppling any tree in its path.
"Well at least I've still got the body." The man says this as he begins tearing the insides of the monster out leaving only the outer hide.
Bringing it to a nearby stream he begins to fill the inside with water and then pour it out.
"I can probably get a fair bit more money if I clean it all out instead of leaving the organs in." draining out the last of the water he nonchalantly lifts the hide and tosses it over his shoulder.

"Now that there is another mouth to feed I will need more money, I don't want that damn brat complaining that all they have to eat is stale bread… Ughhh I wish they could read those volumes faster, then they could use the heat boxes."
Pulling out a piece of chalk he draws a relatively well sized circle and sits down in the center.
"World Transportation Magic: Instant Teleportation" The man says the name of the spell in a clear voice as a light begins to build up around him. Small particles of light begin to concentrate all around the chalk circle until-
*Flash*
The man is no longer in the forest.

After returning to Rodenheim city the hooded man makes his way to his most trusted buyer.
Entering a well sized building with a map on the front he greets his long time dwarf friend.
"Harding, I've got something for you."
"Oh thank ya very much, 'ere is the usual pay." The dwarf tosses a pouch of coins to the hooded figure.
"How's your new apprentice doing?" The dwarf asks how the person he helped was doing.
"Ah, they're doing fine I think, I've got them reading my old books I wrote."
"Ah, won't that take them a while to go through though?"
"Hmmm, probably, but they should be fine." The hooded man waves as he exits the building.
"Hmmm sunrise huh? Well, time to see how that brat is doing." The man says to himself as he walks home.
----
"Ah Malek, where have you been all this time?" The man's new apprentice asks him.
"Malek? Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? I am your teacher so you should be calling me something with a little more respect!" He gives his response with a mildly annoyed tone.

"Ehh? Aren't you just an average shut-in? Why should I give you any extra respect." The young apprentice seems to be trying to push his buttons, if only they knew how powerful his teacher was.
The man glares at his apprentice but accepts his statement in the end. "I guess you have a point, as you haven't seen what kind of work I do throughout the day."
"AH! Speaking of which, I need some sort of way to earn money, I'm not sure that you even eat food but I need to maintain my focus and hunger is detrimental to doing so." The apprentice complains just like Malek anticipated.
"Ooohh food huh? I would show you how to use the heat boxes, but since you haven't gotten far enough in your reading for you to understand that far. Hmmmm what can you do.… Well I guess I can give you some money until you can do some work for me."
Saying this Malek Tosses a coin purse to his apprentice, the same one given to him by Harding.
"Ahh Malek, where are you going?"
"I only came back to see if you were still here or ran off with your tail between your legs. I'm going back to what I was doing, seeya!" Malek leaves and closes the door behind him.
The cloaked man decides to head back to the forest for some easy money.

Superworld
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive. Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Jane’s paths are inextricably intertwined, and as each struggles to find their place an unseen force will draw them ever forward – closer and closer to a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world. A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure” by readers, and "completely unreadable" by the author's blind grandfather.
