《Unholy Seven》Chapter 1: Unholy Trinity
Advertisement
The sun shined down from a clear blue sky upon the Portland, Oregon skyline. In the park, a boy with brown hair and glasses and twin girls with silver hair were playing hide-and-seek.
“Chris, close your eyes and count to sixty. We'll go hide,” Jeni, the oldest twin said. “And no peeking,” Jesi, the youngest twin said. “Or you won't get your reward,” both girls said at the same time.
“Okay,” the boy said. As he closed his eyes tightly and proceeded to count, the girls ran off to go hide. “Fifty-eight...fifty-nine...sixty! Ready or not, here I come!”
“Chris, you can open your eyes now.”
I opened my eyes. Before me both Jeni and Jesi stood in beautiful summer dresses. Jeni's dress was a light blue with pink sakura blossoms on it. Jesi's was yellow also with pink sakura blossoms on it. Their slender frames holding the cascading cloth like clotheslines in the wind. Both dresses had plunging necklines that extended to subtly expose their supple C-cup cleavage. It was enough to make any man both race with excitement and blush with embarrassment if they stared too long.
“Well, whose dress is better?” Jeni asked. “And don't hold back, we want your honest opinion.” Jesi said. “Or else, you won't get your reward.” both girls said at the same time.
“God, girls, I hate when you force me into comparing you two. I love you both equally and can never hold one above the other. It just wouldn't be right. And besides, you know it always creeps me the fuck out when you both talk at the same time. But just so that you know, you both look beautiful. Nothing can hold a candle to either of you.” Damn, I'm ever the suave gentleman.
“Good answer, now here's your reward.” both girls said. They leaned in and kissed me on opposite cheeks. “Dad was right in approving you to be our husband.”
The three of us walk arm-in-arm across Pioneer Courthouse Square to get to the waterfront so that we could celebrate The Bite of Portland. We had waited all summer for this event. The smell of food was whetting our appetites and driving us madder than a pack of ravenous wolves. Suddenly, the sky started to darken, the ground shook, and lightning crashed across the skyline. People began running in panic for shelter as a low rumbling and maniacal laughter began to emanate throughout the air.

The demon materialized above the square and began inflicting devastating energy attacks on the frightened people below. “Foolish humans, your day of reckoning has come! Today you will know true terror and despair.”
“Motherfucker, this date is ruined! Girls, you know what time it is.”
We raise our energy levels to our maximum output. My red aura, Jeni's blue aura, and Jesi's green aura shone like bright stars through the darkness. My eyes changed from their natural state of hazel to a deep golden yellow. Jeni's and Jesi's naturally golden eyes burned bright as the sun. My sword appeared on my right hip, ready to be drawn at a moment's notice. Jeni's bow appeared, as did Jesi's staff. We were ready to kick some demon ass.
“Hey, Cortana, play ass-kicking playlist, maximum volume.” I shout.
“Playing ass-kicking playlist. Warning. Full volume may damage hearing. Recommend softer volume levels.” The AI implant chided.
“Fuck you, I'm not human. Disregard warning. Play at full volume.” I growl.
“Warning disregarded. Playing at maximum volume.”
I launch into the air at the demon as the J-pop metal music started to blare into my eardrums. Jeni pulls back on her bow, loosing an energy arrow straight at the demon. Jesi uses her staff to cast a spell of protection over the three of us.
“Puny mortal, you dare to defy me! I will tear you to shreds.” the demon shouts at me as I flew towards him.
“You're about to find out, I'm anything but mortal, asshole!” I shout back. I land a few solid punches and kicks on him just enough to push him back a couple yards.
“You are strong, I'll give you that. But you still won't be able to defeat me.” the demon taunted.
“You'll find out I'm full of surprises.” I retort.
I launch at the demon full speed again, this time reaching out to swipe him with the claws that extended from my fingers. The demon repelled my attack with a swipe of his own, tearing open the flesh on my arms, causing me to start bleeding. I stop in my tracks and pull back a few feet to regroup and reassess the situation.
The demon stares at me for a moment, then motions to my sword. “I see that you carry a sword, but you have yet to draw it. Why do you hesitate? Do you doubt your skills as a swordsman?” He then looked down at Jeni and Jesi. “Perhaps if I attack them, then you will draw.” The demon then proceeds to turn from me and fly down towards Jeni and Jesi.

I go into a tyrannical rage. “YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!! DON'T YOU LAY A GODDAMNED HAND ON THEM!!!!” I charge head first at top speed towards the demon to intercept between the twins and him. I barely make it behind the girls to scoop them up out of harm's way. I crash to the ground, holding both girls close to me so as to shield them from the impact.
“Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?” I ask them.
“No, we're fine.” they both say. “Now get up, go get him, darling.”
I stand up with a renewed fire in my spirit. My blood boiling with rage. “How dare you attack my betrothed, you son of a bitch!”
“Your betrothed, you say. That is why you are so attached to them. Perhaps I will not kill them after all. Maybe I should take them as my concubines.” the demon says, grinning sadistically.
“FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!!!!” I charge at the demon with full on rage, trying to draw my sword, but to no avail. The chain that seals it away won't allow me.
The demon knocks me back with his hardest backhand to my chest. “So it seems that you cannot draw your sword. Your power is sealed. You are weak.”
The demon's blow sends me flying backwards toward Jeni and and Jesi. I land at them kneeling on the ground. They grab me by both arms and proceed to pull me to my feet.
“Foolish boy, have you forgotten the seal we placed on your sword. Prepare to receive your reward.” Both girls then proceed to kiss me on the mouth, our tongues entwined in passion as our love and power begin to exponentially increase. As we finish the kiss, the chain unlocks on my sword, my fangs grow, and a blood-lust begins to take over.
“Now go, our beloved, show your true nature and destroy this foul abomination.”
“I love you both. Now go, before my thirst consumes me.”
As Jeni and Jesi step away from me, an explosive wind erupts around me. My rage settles and I become an entirely new being. I am focused. I draw my sword and point it at the demon. “Today, you die. For I am unholy judgment, sent by God, to purge the Earth of all it's demons.”
The demon grins at me. “So now you reveal your true form, vampire. You are darkness incarnate, just like me.”
“Yes, I am darkness incarnate, but nothing like you. I reign down fire and brimstone upon God's enemies. It is by this holy sword that His love is cast on humanity and and death is delivered to the minions of Hell.”
With a surefire confidence and blinding speed, I charge at the demon. Simultaneously, he draws his own sword to block my incoming attack. We trade blows back and forth, slashing each other's bodies causing blood to flow like a fountain onto the square. I slash at his legs to disable him, then promptly remove his sword arm. The demon stumbles onto his back with a paralyzing fear in his eyes.
“What in the hell are you?! You're no mere vampire! Please, spare me! I can be your humble servant.”
“No, you are a demon. Though I am a creature of chaos, I am a servant of God. May His divine wrath purge you from this world for the sake of peace and love for humanity through Jesus Christ His Son. Amen.” I grab the demon by the shoulders, bite down on his clavicle, and proceed to drain what blood is left in his body. Once he is lifeless, I drop his corpse to the ground. I take my sword and decapitate him. I shake the blood off and return the sword to its scabbard. The chain locks on my sword as I collapse to the ground and instantly pass out.

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
