a tomb like structure , the entrance was enormous .
On the side of the actual entrance was two oversized pillar the one on the right was carved in form of tiger holding a half-moon ,the other one was in form of a dragon with the sun inside one of claws. The young man was captivate by the surreal craftsmanship of the structure , Qian look at him before saying :
“I’m sorry but we don’t have the time to admire the view this time.”
The two continue to progress slowly toward the structure but the sheer size of it make it seem much closer that it is after a whole day they finally arrive in front of it. After they arrive in front of the entrance ,Qian get off his horse before making a sign to Gold to do the same .
He look at him before starting to talk :
“I’m sorry but you need to finish by your own , I know you have a lot of questions but don’t worry you will have answers really soon.”

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

Malheur aux vaincus - Short stories
I am a reader, not a writer. But in the spirit of contributing to the trove of texts present here, I hope to share some short stories that I wrote: two in French in a Roman Fantasy setting ; and the rest in English: one inspired by manichean webnovels, another one... difficult to classify as a fiction, a little flight of fancy about the 'What if?' game, and last even two poems.
