《The Ritual of the Summoned Ones》Back home safe
Advertisement
The silence was deafening, the same thought pounding through his head.
'I killed a kid, I killed a kid, I killed a kid, I killed a kid'
".... I killed a kid....."
"No! Come one get it together it was a skeleton, they were already dead you just allowed them to be finally be put to rest, you put them out of their misery you did good".
"..... they're at peace, you did good........"
Hadrian goes back into the first bedroom and grabs a large bag he found in the wardrobe, walking back he starts to place the skeletal remains inside. He makes sure to carefully place every piece of bone he can find into the bag.
Walking back downstairs, he grabs a shovel off its place on the wall and heads to the back of the shop. He stops at the back door, looking out he finds out that attached to the back of the blacksmith is a small outdoor plot. The blacksmith and his family who lived here must have used it as a garden.
Checking again through the window in the door to make sure the garden is clear of any undead. Hadrian begins to walk out into the small patch of grass in the garden and with shovel in hand he starts to dig.
"Phew, I'm done", after a short while he finally completed the hole he had dug as a grave for the child’s skeleton, "It isn't much kid but it's better than leaving you up there". Hadrian places the bag of bones into the grave and starts to seal it back up with dirt.
"Well time to head back, I suppose", Hadrian exhausted both mentally and physically decides to head back instead of clearing the rest of the house, making sure to close up and secure any entrances and exits the best he can.

"Hopefully I can secure his place properly later and use it as an emergency safe house”
Hadrian began the journey back to the gate, making sure to take care to remember his exact route and keep an eye out for any undead on the way back, the walk back went smoothly with no undead in the way and nothing unusual happening.
"Well that was an experience", he made it back to the gate nothing unpleasant disturbing his travels, he arrived back quickly and safely.
"Hope these tutorials can help me make a bit more sense of what the hell is going on in this place", walking straight into the gate Hadrian is met with the same feeling of nothingness, of a darkness so deep that nothing could escape its grasp an unending void where space and time have no authority. Then as if only a second had passed he was standing back in the safe zone, his back facing the same gate that sent him on his first little adventure to the Dungeon.
"No place like home I suppose though I'll be glad when I don't have to call this place home ever again"
As he starts to walk to back the room he first woke up in and get some rest but before he could, text forces itself into his vision and a sound deafen his mind.

"Cool, that's great and all but I'm going to sleep today has been one hell of a day"
Making his way through the stone door, Hadrian see's a place he can rest he takes off his sword belt and puts his mace down. "Ahhhhh, god-damn it I forgot that fucking gauntlet", collapsing down upon the raised stone bed, he was finally ready for some rest. "Fuck it I’ll go pick it back up tomorrow"

Hadrian falls asleep instantly, the day bringing him to his absolute limit. Falling down into Morpheus's embrace, he was finally able to rest.
"AH.....hah, hah, hah, hah, ....fuck"
His rest was not long, nightmares haunting nearly every second of his dreams. Of his death, of nearly dying, of being ripped from his home and from the skeleton of that child, each tormenting him in different ways.
"God damn it"
Getting up he walked back into the main chamber of the safe zone, and sitting at the base of the fountain.

Two And A Half Deadmen
Silver-Spruce is a very strange and very haunted town. Ghosts inhabit its buildings and walk its streets. Some of them friendly and sane. Some of them not so much. Alder helps ghosts. Helps them fulfill their last requests so they can move on to whatever comes next. Sometimes the ghosts aren't so friendly and have to be moved on by force. Alder does that as well. And he's gotten rather good at it too. After a particularly rough exorcism, he finds himself following a strange ghost to a local tourist attraction. And while Alder never means to find himself caught up in chaos, monsters, magic, and mayhem always seem to have a way of finding him. You want more specifics for what you're reading? Here you go: This is Urban-fantasy but a little bit of a different spin. Often the protagonists in such stories tend to be the bigger fish in their world, or at least far from small fry. Be they legendary boogie men or badass wizards (which is in no way a bad thing, I love a lot of those stories.) But I thought it would be fun to have a protagonist who's far closer to the bottom end of the scale. He has some magic, and it's potent in its own way. But he isn't the big dog or a fighting machine. Outside of his bubble of influence, our protagonist is essentially a normal human as far as powers are concerned. And while you should be warned that this story will get dark in some places it's (hopefully) balanced out by humor and the lighter stuff. I'm not sure how to end this synopsis section so I'll just say bye. Bye!

Path of the Shaman [HIATUS]
Talin Greymarch attends the prestigious Sovereign Guard Shaman Academy, the greatest institute of learning for shamanic cultivation in the kingdom of Ilios. As he struggles with his day to day school life and cultivation, little does Talin know that he has fallen into the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to shatter the world once again. A merger of the tropes and stylings of Eastern cultivation or Xianxia with Western Sword and sorcery fantasy stories, Path of the Shaman seeks to blur the line between the two. My goal is to establish a believable fantasy world, and I want to pace the story so that I can do that properly. If that sounds appealing to you please give this story a chance. Release schedule: My schedule will be a little inconsistent due to my job, but I aim to release about twice a week.
