-??? POV-
What is this feeling?
It’s like a pleasant light burning and slimy sensation surrounds me.
And why has my range of perception shrank and formed to such a weird shape?
And what’s making that thumping sound that keeps going ba-bum-ba-bum?
Why does it feel so familiar and comforting?
Wait I can’t sense the other souls around me!
Ok calm down they must be playing a prank on me because I’m new that’s it.
…
Ok let’s see if I can find them.
Uhh.
Hey how come I can’t move?
What’s going on!
This isn’t a prank any more.
Where am I?
Aww I can’t remember what happened to me other than a lovely face chasing after me yelling “home”. Why was she crying I wonder and why would she chase me. Since it’s the one of the only thoughts I have I must never forget it.
I wonder what else I remember…
Well thankfully I still remember how to think otherwise I wouldn’t even be me anymore. And I know that I’m a soul waiting in line to be born…
So that’s what this is I’ve been born finally! But the other souls said that they forget everything when there born again.
I must be a supper soul hahaha.
Or was one…
Hummm I wonder what I am now?
And where is everybody else? Shouldn’t there be more of my kind?
…
Ugh I’m bored the things keep poking me but I don’t know where they come from. Well I guess I’ll just have to wait until something new happens. And like any normal soul waiting in the cosmos I’m going to absorb the natural mana that’s around me.
Whoa there isn’t much mana around me at all it seems. And the mana that is around me feels so familiar but really cold. I wonder if all mana has a different type of sensation to them?

Whoa did everything just shake I wonder what that was?
And the thumping is speeding up?
Weird, Oh well might as well keep gathering mana.
…
Ahh what’s this pain in my core I can’t concentrate.
Aww somthing southing is flowing into me and making the pain go away. What a nice feeling.
Well might as well start to absorb mana again.
Whoa what is with this shaking? And now the thumping speed up again just after it got back to its steady beat again.
I wonder if that’s normal around here.
…
Ohhh no my lower core feels like it’s going to explode. This is even worse than when the core hurt the first time.
Wait something is taking the pain away.
Aww that feels much better I’m glad that passed.
Now I can gather mana again. But it’s weird the mana doesn’t seem to stay contained inside very well. I guess there’s nothing I can do about it except to keep gathering mana.
Really another quake I wish they would just stop.
…
Ok nothing’s happened in a while except my range of perception has continued to grow at its own pace without me noticing, and those weird quakes and the alternating of discomfort in my mid then lower core refuse to stop. And there always in that order, I wonder why?
But it’s so boring in here and no matter how much mana I try to gather none of it stays and it’s just released out again. And then the world shakes for no reason.
I’m going to see if I can move again. It has been a while so maybe I can move now.
Hmmm it seems that I can move specific parts of my body separately from each other. It’s as if I’m not a sphere core anymore. But if I’m not a sphere core anymore what could I possibly be the only beings that have none core bodies are the gods, goddess, and the cosmic beasts.

I wish there was another soul around to talk to. But then again they all told me to enjoy my first life and all the surprises it held or started to glow menacingly and try to absorb me. I’m glad no one is trying to absorb me here or else I wouldn’t…
Actually what would happen to me?
No matter I like it here with the constant da-dum’s.
. . .
Well it seems my body is made up of five extensions out of my main core. Four of those can bend at three places. While the last one only has one place it can actively bend at. It took a while to find out all the bendy point because I couldn’t extend them at all and after I moved a little bit I would loss control over my body and could not feel anything for a while. At those times I would see the goddess’s crying face for a little bit without me even trying to make it appear. Then the memory would disappear and I would have control over my body again. I don’t know how many times that happened but I know I won’t forget the goddess’s face now. At least her crying one.
…
Whoa what going on?
Why is it getting so tight in here?
And why am I turning over?
Yes it’s opening up I’m free.
Wait what’s that light?
Ahh what’s that awful sensation that just got into me?
How did it get into me?
And what is this burning I’m feeling in two round spots on my fat extension?
Ahhhh why does it hurt so much?
“Wouaaa wouaaa” ahhhhhhhhhh

Ars: The World Beyond The Walls
For a thousand years, humanity has been confined behind the large, overarching walls that protect them from the outside world. It is said that before the age within the walls, humanity ruled the world, overpowering the creatures of this land with their overwhelming magical ability. However, now humanity is but a shell of its former self, forced to live within walls that only hold a few thousand people, only sending out a select skilful few each year to explore the world beyond the walls. Most never return, and those who do bring back scars, both physical and mental. The curiosity that humankind possesses is an ember that no matter how small it glows, will never truly fade. A group of aspiring adventurers that seek to know what lies outside the walls don't plan on waiting until they're of age to be selected, the group they call themselves as "The New Explorers". What waits for them outside the walls is true hardship, creatures that are beyond their greatest imagination, beyond their deepest, darkest fears.

Sanguine
The Coles are probably the definition of a small dysfunctional family, even if they weren’t the worst in existence; they would probably be lauded as an example of the term. The Coles were a small family though. The father, Oliver Cole, was an asshole ex-football jock who bounced around in small paying jobs after wasting most of his life drinking, drugging and whoring. The daughter, Stacy Cole, was smart, but had many issues including anger, trouble with authority, and occasional suicidal thoughts, and was kicked out of many a school for disruptive behaviour. The son, Mike Cole, was innocent, and tried his best to be kind to anyone and everyone, however his own speech impediment, and slow nature only aided people to bully and belittle him, including his own father. The Coles were indeed a dysfunctional family. At least they were, until they got to the small town near the border between the United States and Canada, Sanguine. Welcome to Sanguine. You will stay. With the exception of the first chapter, each chapter only follows one character. The first chapter is the only chapter in which I will include 'Sides' where it follows a different character. This is a short Lovecraftian story, it won't go above seventeen chapters. Note: the book cover is my first attempt, it might not even remain like it is, I was just tired of seeing the standard 'no cover' thing on it.

Summoning Shenanigans
Adding in [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Sean was a chemist on Earth with a lovely family life. Everything was going well, until a group of gods decide to summon him to their world. An unfortunate appearance by the trickster god derailed a normal summoning, and now Sean finds himself in a pickle. Content warning: There will be profanity and quite probably some gore, though the point of the story will not revovle around any gory scenes. I'm also including traumatising content as there will for sure be slavery and rape. The rape will be alluded to and not described, there are other places for that. I think this also explains the grimdark tag.
