《Gargoile found the library tower》Chapter 12. Rockslide
Advertisement
Week has passed after talk with the hunter. I´m looking forward how they dealt with the situation. I hope they are alright. I hope it wasn´t sunami. They couldn´t have survived that.
Since I wanted to meet him today for sure, I had to visit six new places. Well it didn´t go so easily. Five of them were in middle of desert. Of course I didn´t meet anybody. One time I was on bottom of the sea. It was like someone gave middle finger for complaining about water sparsity. Honestly I don´t know if I tried to open the door what would have happened. I´m glad it is over now.
Thanks to my mental map skill I could notice life outside this place about quarter kilometre away. I knew hunter was coming here. I choosed to wait since it would be dangerous represent my capabilities. He must have so idea thanks to me saving him from the wolves. It is still better to say in save side.
It didn´t take mush time to him arriving in front of me. He looked pale. He seemed to want to say something to me. Something must have happened. There was sorrow in his face but not because something bad had happened to him. It seemed like he was sorry about something which was about me. It was sorrow of conscience.
Has he betrayed me? No. That isn´t the case. He is only one here. Just say it. This waiting is killing me.
"Storm hit our village. There was no property damages. Live in village has become normal. Thanks to your advise we didn´t experience any difficulties." (hunter)
Ok. So far so good. I´m just waiting word "but".
"But." (hunter)
Here it comes.
"Path here was way different than before. It took more time than I thought." (hunter)

You can´t be serious!
He is becoming even sader than before. That isn´t important. My anger is rising even more than his sorrow. Calm down. He isn´t breaking any library rules. I can´t do anything against him.
"There were two victims." (hunter)
What? Didn´t you say everything is normal and properties were unharmed? How could any victims arise then?
"Rockslide killed two merchant traveling down there. They didn´t know that path was dangerous. They could have survived if someone had stayed home close to there. They would have advised saver path or even allow staying over night. They used to visit here about once per season. They couldn´t stay since houses were empty." (hunter)
I see. It is my fault that they died. He sure knows me feel. Of course I would feel downhearted. I know these things happen all the time. I had no bad thought when I advised. It just happened to be useless to give an advise.
No word were needed to say between us. No. More accurately there were no words for this. Sorry would just harm us more.
"Thank you for telling me. I would like you to go straight to the point in the future though." (Gargoile)
"Yeah. Sorry about that. I normally wouldn´t be in charge of telling but I´m only one how has meet you. I feel they think you are just my imagination." (hunter)
"I can see that. What did you tell them? Am I great wizard, gargoyle or something else?" (Gargoile)
I didn´t expect an answer but I got one.
"Something else." (hunter)
I don´t know if he is joking with me or is he so uncomfortable about talking. More I talk with him more covinced I become about his denseness.
"I mean I told you were my troll friend. It is my villages custom to say they heard it from troll when you aren´t allowed to say. Normally they are just messing around but they won´t ask anything more afterwards. I think I have to say something soon though." (hunter)
"I see." (Gargoile)
That suprised me.
"One more thing before I go. Victims had child. For now we can help her but sooner or later her ave to move ahead since there is contract from merchant guild. I would like to bring her here to learn." (hunter)

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.

8 186Kalar's Continent

They all breath, grow and influence their surroundings in their own right.Join Teo, a bright young boy with a gift for Arcane Magic, through his journey to tackle the Elements, master his Craft and climb to the very peak of magic itself.Who will he meet, friends or foes? Trusted companions or bitter rivals? Will he be able to find his answer and get to the real meaning of magic, all while wrestling with the complex laws of nature and his own unripe emotions?There is only one way to find out.The story will start with a few chapters of introductions in volume 1 to establish the characteristics and the nature of the world the characters live in. After that, it will probably become a lot more fast-paced and incorporate real story progression. My goal is to fuse the common magic advancement system in a weak-to-strong fashion, together with elements of naturalism, magic combat action and little bits and pieces of science, wherever necessary, to form a bright and interesting story about a boy chasing his dreams about magic.

8 161Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.
8 139The Mermaid's Shoal
Elfyn O Se has lived by the laws of the sea his whole life. He'd go by Elf to his friends if he had any left, but at least his crew are willing to work with him, and it's not because he accidently cursed them all. Yet, maybe he can pull them together for one last job that might ease the fury of the tyrannical mermaid he wronged so long ago. He might have a chance to break the binds for himself and his crew, if he can pull it off. There's just one problem; a rival mermaid called Anwen. As mysterious as she is terrifying - and adamant that Elf can't win - she offers an alternative to break the curse if the crew can help her get home. The crew of the Ossory now finds themselves caught in an odyssey brimming with magic and monsters. Battling against champions of terrible adversaries, mysterious lights from the deep, and kleptomatic selkies who deal in blood, Elf is faced with a choice. Will he risk the future of his world to save his crews' souls, or condemn them all to protect the archipelago from certain calamity?
