Chapter 5: Lost in Bliss
Demonic ritual
The demon stood in the ritual circle for a whole five minutes wondering if he did the suicide ritual correctly. Just as he was about to take a peek, he felt his life draining away at a breathtaking speed. His eyes opened as his body shriveled up, and crumbled to dust.
After a while the ritual circle started to glow once more, a small fist sized rock appeared almost floating an inch above the ground. After all the light faded from the circle the rock fell to the ground.
Sometime later
A light knock on the door*
Silence*
Some more knocking*
Silence*
Hard knocking on door*
Silence*
The sound of feet walking away...
Sometime later...
Footsteps returning*
Swoosh* Thunk* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk* Crunch* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk*.....
After an hour the large door fell into the room... A small girl in a maids outfit could be seen sweating and breathing hard while holding double bladed axe in her hands.
She weakly yelled, "You fucking... piece... of... TRASH!!.., how dare you not...?!" She sees desk covered in summoning ritual books, enters the room and looks around. "What has that idiotic fool bee...n...?!" She steps on something and slips and falls on her butt, kicking up dust everywhere... After rubbing her aching butt a bit she glanced at what she stepped on.... it was a small pile of dust. As she was about to gulp she noticed what was left of the ritual circle... * * * choking* gagging* spit* cough*....
After thoroughly spitting and coughing for a bit, she gets up and dusts herself off before leaving the room.
Sometime later*
She returns with a mop, a broom, a duster and a bucket.
Cleaning noise*
Spud of someone tripping*
"Agh. What the... ? Why is there a.... Oh god the floor!!!!!"

Time passes.
The room is clean of all the dust (corpse) which was collected in the bucket. But the ritual circle and the rock were left alone on the ruined floor. "I guess I better report to the master that the weak link is gone, but what to do with that bloody heavy rock?" She is just about to walk off to inform her master, but was surprised to find her master right behind her. "Greetings master..." Bows
The master walks by the maid and says, "leave, but leave the bucket as well."
"Understood master."
After the maid had left, the master was done examining the object pf intrigue. AKA the floor and the cause of the floors distressed state. AKA the rock. "So desperate to become something your not... Sigh.... If only the fool had... Oh what am I saying he died trying to become something more... Than he was"
"But before I send for the crafting guild I guess I better get rid of the rock" reaches down and makes an attempt to remove the hindrance... Argh... Gahhh.... Urgh... 'What is this freaking thing made of?! Sigh.... I better pay the dwarves a visit ^.^ I can have'm fix my floor for cheaper if they like what they find?!' (Dwarve'n labor is typically more expensive then highering the crafting guild, but on rare occasions when they find an object of value on the work site they might except it as payment instead.)
The master walks out of the room.
{.............................}
In the darkness...
Where am I?
I know something is off but...
Sigh... I guess I better go look and see what's going on... Hopefully no more light is falling.
[closes the port for releasing the light and slowly lets the walls of darkness thin out enough to see?!]
Atleast it ain't rocky landscape. But... Yawn* I guess I'll rest until I have enough energy to move.
[goes to sleep while the light gathers once more]
{...........................}

Necromancer's Knight: a Light in Death
It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt. It was night, but there was a full moon. And a little girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me. Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!

TRX's Adventures
Set during the 1980s, it narrates the daily life of Mathias, a boy with "psychic powers", and his friends, which ends when something happens that changes the course of our protagonist's life. ... This is titled this way because some letters of the characters' names form the TRX of the title... Although there is one character who literally has that name, it is also named after her. Ah, and if some parts sounds a bit weird because of some words, tell me. This also contains some simple drawings made by me. This is going to have a lot of edits, apparently.... And maybe I'll add a couple of stuff. I'll try to make this be good... Or, at least, fun. ... Also, the older version will stay, but it kind of spoils the plot (although it changed in many ways), so if you want to read it before this... Do it at your own risk.
