《Arm of the Demon》Chapter 1 - What Are You?!
Advertisement
Unlike most people, Damien had led a very unfortunate life. This all began 10 years ago at the age of 8 when he became an orphan with the loss of his mother. Strangely, the only memory he had of her was on her deathbed, when she gave him a necklace that she claimed would protect him from evil. Little did he know evil was closer than he thought.
It was the night of his 18th birthday, he had just moved into his new dorm having said his goodbyes to everyone in the orphanage... Only to realize that something was missing from around his neck. That necklace was the only memory he had left of his parents, to him it meant more than the entire world. “W-Where is it? Where's my necklace?!” he said in a panic at the same time a shadow closed up on him.
The shadow crept up and enveloped his left arm, progressively making its way up. “AHHHH!” he screamed. Needless to say, it was an excruciating experience. He dropped to the floor in the pangs of pain, only to find the necklace directly in front of him. At this point the shadow was crawling up his elbow. He quickly grabbed the necklace and wrapped it around his left bicep, almost cutting off the circulation in his left arm. As if in fear, the shadow retreated back to his forearm, stopping.
A voice spoke directly into his head “That accursed necklace!” the voice resounded in anger.
“What the hell are you?!” Damien shouted in fear, looking directly at his blackened left arm which had somehow managed to turn back into looking normal.
“I am a Shade.” the voice chuckled ominously in his mind, only managing to deepen his fears.
At that moment Damien knew: this was the night that would change his life forever.

Everyone knows how the general story is supposed to go. A man, unwittingly going about his normal and ordinary life, is suddenly whisked off to a game style fantasy world where he is expected to become the unwavering hero of the realm. That is until the summoned hero throws a Hail Mary and gets himself transported to a tutorial world before the summoning can be completed. Add in a clumsy goddess and a broken planet and that is just where our story begins... Greetings all, thanks for taking the time to read this. This is my first story here on RRL and it's becomming one of the things I look forward to working on each day. As of June 2020, the story description has been updated (now that the characters have told me what was actually going on this author thought it prudent to update this) . Updates will be sporatic as i have time to juggle real life with writing. You the readers have become an integral part of the story helping to decide how things will progress, so enjoy the story and please leave a review or rating so this author can continue to improve the story. New chapters coming soon with edits to existing ones in process As a side note, I wish I could add a science tag to this. While this is still fiction, I have been incorporating real life scientific theories and explanations for how things could be *plausibly* explained. (No, I will not lecture on these points, but they are added to author notes) ~badw0lf
8 133Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”

Light. Dark. The Twin Goddesses who reign over Halorath command the forces of night and day. Both have gained power of the domains of fallen gods, and they grant access to these magicks to their followers. It has been ages since the Godswar, and the divine realms remain at peace as the sisters rule. But strange happenings foretell a coming calamity. Adventurers in the Vynte Marches uncover lost artifacts and foreboding prophecies. A lone survivor of a massacre hunts the thing that killed her people-- a thing that has not been seen on Halorath since the Godswar. Tensions between nations rise, and ill omens stand for all to see. And at the center of it is a pair of children who hold the fate of the world in their hands...
8 102The Rite of Sanctuary
Dozens, if not hundreds of worlds were destroyed or damaged by what amounted to a industrial accident on a higher level of existence. Many people and places however, were saved at the last instant and hastily slammed together into a makeshift world held together with magic and hope. The director was assigned to keep the whole thing going and stole the idea of a RPG driven system as a placeholder set of natural laws. One he is constantly having to apply ad hoc fixes and updates on the fly. The main character and the church he worked at end up being one of the places from modern earth that got saved. Possibly updating Saturday and Sunday if my schedule stays the same
