《The Lions Pride》Prologue Part 1
Advertisement
Nabuza also known as the river of judgement is a river of legends. The river was created by the legendary battle priest Adam when he fought against the devil Ashna. When Adam unleashed his final attack that split the very earth itself and created a path through the land creating the kingdom of law that has existed ever since.
But know above the river another legend may be created because floating in the air above is Robert the priest that is said to have reached a level even above Adam , beside Robert are his companions the knight of honor David , the mage of light Jacob , the mage of water Caroline , the dragon tamer Richard and finally Christofer the prophet. In front of these legendary figures only two men stood unmovable like mountains while they were in a position where even the bravest of soldiers would piss their pants. The foremost person dressed in rags and a mask displaying a raging demon, behind him the other man dressed in a loose robe and even though he had wrinkles in his face and almost no hair left he excluded a pressure that seemed more ancient than the world itself.
You both have lost there is no chance for retribution now! Robert screamed IT’S NEVER OVER ROBERT, YOU SHALL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME! the mysterious man with the mask of a raging demon responded Robert the raven of time has spoken and won’t change it’s mind even if you presented me with the most extravagant gifts my resolve wouldn’t budge. slowly and quite like a whisper the gentle old man answered. How can you be so sure that you are hearing correctly from the raven of time and more importantly how do you even know it exist Time sage. Christofer asked with a gentle tone You wouldn’t understand Christofer even if I explained. The gentle old man responded We should destroy these bastards before any more casualties are made. David whispered to his friends If you are going to bad mouth ous you should say it to our face. the old man said once more

The tension in the air slowly gained momentum and increased by the second and heavy feeling in the air just grew stronger and stronger.
Is it prepared James? asked the mysterious man in the demon mask Yes Nicolas .. but are you sure you wanna do it, you will lose everything you have in this life. The gentle old man responded What do I have to lose but you old friend and you are dying so if I don’t do this I will have nothing. Nicolas responded and you could clearly hear sorrow in his voice. Well here goes nothing am I right old friend. James said and started to laugh Yeah man it has sure been a ride hasn’t it. Nicolas responded and also started laughing
across the river Robert and his companions looked at the two men like they were more insane now then a second ago. Slowly the laughter died down and silence resumed on the battlefield before Nicolas slowly stepped forward and pointed at Robert.
Robert who in your life was it again that you regret not being able to save? You know the answer Nicolas …. and why do you have to know now? Yes of course I almost forgot it is your dear younger brother isn’t it. Such a tragedy to die so young with so much hope and dreams he had. What does this have to do with anything that happens know Nicolas. Caroline said with fury in her voice Well it would be no fun if you didn’t know what will happen …. story short I will go back in time and corrupt your younger brother to kill you Robert HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH YOU ARE INSANE NICOLAS! and after saying that Robert summoned his martial spirit and with it’s boost he ran across the river to slay Nicolas before anything happens and after him his companions quickly followed but not as fast as Robert himself. Is it done James. Nicolas slowly whispered Yes my dear friend …. Goodbye as James said that a strange portal slowly descended and swallowed a laughing Nicolas.

Robert reached Nicolas about 0.5 seconds after the portal descended but it was too late because the madman was already gone.
Where is he JAMES! screamed Robert
Slowly James reached into his pocket and took out a purple gemstone and showed it to Robert.
What is that James and let the angels have mercy on your soul if your are lying to me. Well this little stone is a gift from the Raven of time to destroy you Robert and in a nutshell it gives me the ability to transport 1 person back or forward in time of course this will weaken the Raven for quite a long time probably around a couple of billion years or so for it to awaken once more. But that is just proof of how dangerous you are Robert.
When James was done speaking Robert plunged his sword straight through James gut and whispered
So why are we not dead yet then James if he went back in time we would be dead by now wouldn’t we?
Even though the great sage had a sword inside of him he still held his posture and didn’t crumble and responded
Robert you will continue to live in this timeline and I can’t do nothing to change that but I hopefully returned Nicolas to another timeline to end you for good.
After having said that James slowly started to turn into sand and disappear.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats.

He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.
