《Crow》Little killer
Advertisement
20 days has been passed after Ethan entered hunting ground. He hunted non-stop only stopping to eat. He even cut his sleep to 5 hours.
He hunted 51 angry boars in these days. On first week he has difficulty finding and kill these boars, but after observing them, he has a better understanding of their habits and places where they can be found. But even after this he can only hunt 51 boars making his points 510.
He wanted to continue hunting but his beginner weapon broke last time. It was a miracle that this sword able to last this long. So he has to come back at camp to buy new weapons. When he came on entrance of the camp it was already noon.
He directly came to administrator hall and buys a new short sword for 100 points. The person in charge said Ethan to wait for five minutes and run back to get Ethan's short sword.
While Ethan waited, he saw that there were many people at administrator hall. Some were buying relic or cloths. Ethan was a little lost, he only saw people that were age from 12-14 he did not say a person that was 15 years old here. Actually, he didn't see anyone that looked like 15 years old or older other than Eli.
He came out from his daze when the person in charge came back with a short sword in his hand. The short sword was extremely simple. It was sheathed in a leather cover when Ethan unsheathed it's gave a metallic luster. Ethan was satisfied with sword, compare to his first sword, it was like heaven send sword.
Ethan was about to leave when he saw his name written in red letters on bronze ranking board. He was in last place 1012 with only 410 points. 1011 places have points 2030 and 1010 have points 2070. And for rank 1009 it has 3109 points. When Ethan saw this he stopped walking.
He can check his ranking from his ring but he has been ignoring it because he doesn't want to stress him. He was already doing his best to hunt, but was still in last and the margin was 1500 points apart from second last. Not to mention 4th from last. He has to find a way to have more points in 10 days or he will be executed after ten days.

Ethan was in deep thought when three people pass through him. One of them stops walking and see Ethan, who was in deep thought. "Jacob what are you doing lets go" said the person next to him.
"Boss, he that boy I was talking about" Jacob answered "I thought he would have a die in wild long time ago but he still alive"
The boy who was address has boss looked at Ethan from head to toe "he the one who cause ruckus at Eli's execution? He survives the wild?"
Boss said to the girls next to him "Amy what you think should we recruit him in our faction?" Amy was 16 year old girl with brown eyes and curly hair. Her looks were mediocre.
Amy looked at Ethan indifferently and said in a sweet voice "David, if you thinks he worthy, so why not." Please with answer David walk toward Ethan who was standing quietly at a side.
"Hey, I am the leader of raising stars faction I am here to invite you to our faction. We can…" he did not able to finish his sentence when Ethan starts walking toward the exit.
When David saw that Ethan completely ignore him, he become completely enraged, but said politely "it's the faction whose former boss was Eli. You were friend with Eli didn't you, right?"
When Ethan heard this, he halts his step 'Eli was a leader of the faction? Well its have nothing to do with me' Ethan thought and start walking again. Ethan was sad about Eli's death if he were alive, he definitely join his faction. But regretfully Eli is dead and Ethan has nothing to do with these people who can't even protect or helped their leader.
David, who was about to say something when the Ethan halt his step, but when he saw that Ethan started walking again, he swallowed his words. He looked around and saw that people were looking at him with laughing eyes. He was both angry and embarrassed, but he can't do any thing. He just can't make thinks difficult for a kid in front of everyone. He has an image to maintain as a leader of a faction.
Jacob saw that his boss were embarrassed by a little boy, he blew in rage. He steps forward and swung his sword at the back of Ethan. When David saw this he was pleased by his subordinate action. After this incident he can say that his subordinate was impulsive and attack at a kid, it will not damage his image.

As for spectators, some were looking at the scene with disgust, some with indifferent attitude and some were as they are watching a great show but no one tries to stop him.
Ethan feels unnatural wind from behind so he moves to the side immediately and a sword brush through him and hit the spot where he was standing just now. He hurriedly makes some distance by leaping back between him and the man who suddenly attack on him.
His ring vibrates a little when he saw a notification that said he was challenged forcefully and he can't reject it. He was a little confused about this notification, but didn't dwell on it any longer. He has to deal with the person who tries to kill him from behind.
He unsheathed his sword and looked coldly at Jacob who was still in shocked that Ethan dodges his strike. Ethan said to him coldly "since you made the first move toward me then sorry for me for being ruthless toward you."
Ethan says this in so cold voice that some spectators have goosebumps. They didn't think that this little guy can be this scary and he didn't even do anything.
Ethan attacks toward Jacob without any warning. Jacob hurriedly defended with his sword. When he defended he stumble behind by the force behind the strike Jacob was utterly shocked. He said while stuttering "I.. Wai.. Wait…" before he continues Ethan swing his sword and cut his arm elbow down.
Jacob screamed in pain and kneels down and grabbed his bleeding arm. He was about to say something, but Ethan swung his sword toward Jacob head and cut it. Jacob head fell on the ground with thud sound. Some blood splashes in Ethan face.
All people in the hall was silent even sound of pin drop can be heard. Ethan ring vibrates a little when he saw its contents he could not help but smiled a little. When he smiled with blood on his face, he looked terrifying. He left the hall giving no heed to the stunned crowd.
When Ethan leaved the hall people erupted in discussion. "Did you see that little guy just kill that guy without blinking." Someone say with fear.
"His smile at the end gives me goosebumps" someone say while rubbing his arm.
"Wow, we got a little killer in the camp that didn't even blink while killing" someone exclaimed.
"I don't know that little kid would have this kind of swordsmanship, he simply kill that person in three moves" a girl said.
"Are you sure that his swordsmanship was remake able or his opponent just suck?" someone rebuke.
"Whatever the case I know this for sure that, his future going to be bright if he didn't die young" girl answered calmly.
The person who rebukes just now said nothing about this. Silent means agreement.
"But who was he I never see him? What is his original ranking" someone asked excitedly.
When they heard this they become silent. They really didn't know him. That means he was new in camp.
At the corner a 16 year boy who was covering his face with a hood muttered "this going to be fun. I think I got a person to recruit."
As for David and Amy they both leave the hall when no one was paying attention. "Where's that boy gone, I want to kill him. " Said David angrily.
"Don't be like this David its Jacob's fault that he attack without thinking he deserves to die" Amy said without any regret that one of her friend died. She continues "even if you want revenge for Jacob you have to wait, we can't force challenge that boy right now. And tomorrow will be competition, we can deal with him later"
When David heard this he calm down a little, but he was still angry. "After competition send someone to kill him in the wild, I want his head." Amy smiled "alright now let go and help me to prepare for competition."
As for the one who cause this commotion was enjoying his bath right now without of any worry.

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
