《The Unorthodox Tale of Sky》Chapter 1: Gotta Have an Intro Right???
Advertisement
-Earth-
"Uuuuuuugh, I don't wanna go to college today... Dangit, why the hell am I so lazy..." I say this practically every single day I have to get up for school. What I'm going for you ask? Some sciencey computer crap... uh computer engineering I think? Meh I don't even care. Well I do but, you know, I don't. Morning grumpiness now over and thus commence the morning routine. Ah, forgot to tell ya my name. It's Sky. Simple right? I think it's pretty sweet ya know? Well moving on.
I get up and proceed to brush my teeth and change my clothes, you know the boring stuff you do every single day, and now proceed out the door and on my walk to college... yes walk, I don't drive, weird right? Since I'm lazy and all. It's about a thirty minute long walk but I enjoy it. You get to see the azure blue cloudless sky along with the lush emerald green forest to my left and the blatantly obvious annoying city to my far right. I live on the in-between of the city and forest. It's nice and quiet and no one disturbs me. It's freakin heaven!! Aaah such sweet silence. Aaanyway as I was saying I enjoy this walk before I have to start up with dealing with human trash... Hmm? Yes. I am also included in the so called "human trash" however I'd like to think that I would react better to certain life or death situations than most, but I digress.
"Good morning" said some person as I passed them by on the campus sidewalk.
I simply nod my head to them. I believe that one should not say good morning to another unless you intend to have a conversation with them. I feel like you want to talk to me when you say good morning. If you don't then please, just simply nod acknowledging each others existence and continue with your day. (sigh) I let one such leak out. Today is going to be another long day. I can already tell...

Hm? did that guy just have a tail sticking out of his head?????? I ask myself as I was passing by a rather average built man. Why? Well when I passed for some reason I felt the urge to look back and when I did, at the base of his skull, a blue tail the color of lapis lazuli was sticking out. However, it only was visible for maybe .12 seconds so maybe I'm just seeing things...... I hope...
"For f to equal......" the professor droned. At this point I'm just ignoring him. Bad move since I'm doing calculus. Crazy smart stuff right here. I manage though. I have literally maintained an 80 Average. Exactly on the dot. That way I never have to worry about dropping my average or worry about all that top of the class bs that bookworms or snobs enjoy.
Huh?? Wait... Okay now I'm certain I'm not seeing things. Right now, the chick in front of me has a blue tail sticking out of her spine. Like it's just there. Does she not feel it? Isn't it irritating? I mean if that was on my back I'd definitely find it irritating. I... Kinda wanna touch it... Ehh... If one were to look from an outside perspective they would see me leaning forward (quite a lot mind you, these freakin desks are like a couple of feet apart dangit) apparently trying to touch the person's back that's in front of me with my tongue sticking out and making some strange sounds.
Right before I was able to touch the tail "Mr. Sky, I'm sure the back of Miss Caitlin doesn't need support to sit properly, wouldn't you agree?" damn professor ruined my chance. As soon as he shouted the tail disappeared.
"Damnit. Annoying old geezer...." I cursed.
"Excuse me?" the professor asked calmly.

"No you are right. It doesn't." I retorted.
He simply nodded and continued his lecture. Damn. So that blue tail this morning wasn't my imagination. I look around to see if anyone else has that odd tail. Hey guess what? What? 90% OF THE ENTIRE CLASS HAS THE FREAKIN TAIL!!!! THE SHIT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?! Like does no one else notice this shit?!?!!?! Am I the only sane one here? What's going on here?
Heh that question sure was answered with a few words from behind me. These words sent a chill down my back that could beat the ice age in cold. THE ICE AGE...
"So you've noticed us." I hear a feminine kinda melodic voice from behind. Her voice felt like it was carried by the wind and caressed my ear to slowly whisper those words in.
"By us, exactly what do you mean?" I ask with a complicated smile as I turn to face the person who whispered those words.
-Them-
-10 years prior-
They were a once gentle race. Though their appearance wasn't the friendliest, it was for certain that they were a gentle race. Though like every race they too have their own downsides. For instance, when this race got pushed into an extreme state they left their rather large bodies and became a somewhat parasitic lifeform. It's said somewhat parasitic because they have yet to find another home willing to accept them for what they truly are. A kind and gentle race. They traveled the galaxy searching. Going from planet to planet. Wiping out all of the races they came in contact with. Of course not without sacrifices of their own. In fact, their number are so small, in comparison, it would be like 7.2 billion humans suddenly becoming only three thousand. To be precise their numbers are in the 300's.
They have found another planet. Maybe this will be the planet that can break these chains of theirs, or it could spell the very end of their entire species. They landed on this planet, in a forest, that had a house, a single house, that separated it from the city. Not so far away was a building that had quite a few of this planets inhabitants going to and from it. Their queen decided to send in a few to scout the area and find suitable hosts. The queen would then soon decide to join the building to see first-hand the inhabitants and how they work.
After several years the scouts returned bringing great news. The creatures of this planet are ignorant of their own bodies. They could invade without rhyme or reason and survive. They may even be able to prosper. This is what the queen thought, but she had a hunch. "let's not make a fierce control of the species yet. We still don't know our situation. For all we know it could have been a trap to get us to lower our guard. I will go with the scouts during the next expedition."
For their race, and, surprisingly, for the race they were to parasitize, this was the greatest decision the queen could have ever made.
The planet they inhabited: Earth
It's inhabitants: humanity
Status: undiscovered
To Be Continued….

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
8 168An Aquila lost within an Oriental Land of Illusions
In the far future, among the endless chaos of the 42nd millennium, war has raged days of yore. In these grim and dour times, a battered collection of survivors flee from an ill-fated Imperial campaign, only to find themselves hauled from their reality to to crash upon the realm of Gensokyo. This stark realm will test oaths and faith as what it bears is alien to these tempered souls. Peace. (It's a Warhammer 40K/Touhou Project Crossover… What am I doing, am I mad? Certainly tis the only answer!)
8 199Duck Around and Find Out
Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself. Armed with a real dumbass of an artificial intelligence, a brain full of pop culture mush, and a hybrid body courtesy of an Academy Award-winning actor, Flap now has all the tools he needs to prevail in the bloody contest. The only question is whether he can learn to use them to save the Galaxy before his implant drives him nuts. Duck Around and Find Out is an absurd adventure across space and pond featuring GameLit elements, more movie and tv references than you can shake a stick at, and a cast of anthropomorphic animals that would make a furry cream their pants. Do you like ducks? And do you like space? Are you also a weirdo? If you answered yes to all three, this just might be the story for you. So if you're brave enough, Duck Around and Find Out.
8 146Marauding Gods
To protect themselves from the threat known as "monsters" the only way humanity has found to survive was to construct a massive magical barrier that spans an entire continent: the human continent. On the Southeast part of the Human Continent, there is a place, remote to any man's dwelling called Rosetta Manor, where lived a young boy named Ronandt, a young nobleman who, despite his noble origins, has never met his parents. Follow the little Ronandt in a world of Gods and Dragons, where even as a noble, a human, is already a quite atypical one. Update rate: 1chapter/Day (Except Sunday) Disclaimer: This novel is clearly tagged gore, and this within reason, so please keep that in mind while reading. Though the early chapter suggest that this novel is slice of life one, especially in the first 40 chapters, it must be clarified that this novel is first and foremost a progression fantasy tagged gore and grimdark. Feel free to like it or hate it.
