《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 1 : Comforting Words
Advertisement
"Their battle had gone on long enough, but neither side was ready to give up."
"Their fatigue, hunger, and limits were nothing compared to their will to keep fighting for what they believe in, but eventually even that had faded in the face of evil."
*bell rings*
"Oh my! I didn't realize that story would take up so much time; my apologies."
Everyone had left the classroom except four students
"Class is over; what are you guys still doing here."
Lillith (a Purple-haired girl with cat ears) was the first to respond, "I wanted to hear the rest of this story; also, we have to wait for Leon to wake up."
The teacher (Mr. Graves) Looked over Lilith's shoulder to see Leon sleeping. At the same time, another girl (Lillia, A dark-haired girl with pigtails) desperately tried to wake him up.
Mr. Graves enjoyed telling this story, so he didn't mind spending part of his lunch telling Lilith the rest of the story.
"Their opponent was the strongest foe ever to be seen throughout history, but that didn't matter to them because they had the only person who was his only equal."
"Everything has to come to an end eventually, which is what happened to their battle."
"How did it end?" Lilith asked
"Honestly, no one knows. There are theories on how it ended, but none have been confirmed."
"Confirmed by who?"
"Well, the people that fought in the battle, of course."
"They're still alive ?!"
"Yes, and as a matter of fact, they are our head of defense."
"So you're telling me Mistress Amaya fought this great evil."
"Exactly that"
"Wow, so Mistress Amaya is even more impressive than she already is."
Both Mr.Graves and Lilith turn around to see Leon(blonde-haired Elf) giving a smug smile.

"Finally, now we can eat." Exclaimed Lillia.
"Of course, I must let you enjoy your lunch." said Mr. Graves
Lilith and her group get up and leave to get lunch
Still thinking about the story, Lilith says, "That was an intriguing story."
"Eh, I guess."
Lillia, annoyed about his attitude, states that He shouldn't say anything because he was asleep for most of it and should keep his thoughts to himself.
Lilith walks backward (facing her teammates) and says, "Do you think Alastor will like the story?"
"I think-" Lillia tried to give her opinion. Still, Leon interjected, "I think he doesn't care about you or whatever you tell him. He only uses you."
"Leon!" Benjamin (half-orc half-human hybrid), who was quiet the whole time, finally snapped
"Fine, Lilith, I'm sorry."
Lilith angrily walked into the cafeteria, got her food, and went to sit with Alastor next to the oak tree outside the school property but next to the eating area.
"What has you in a mood today, Lil."
"It's Leon; He thinks your only nice with me because you're only using me."
"You know as much as anyone else that Leon hates me because of what happened to Erin."
"Yea, I know, but it wasn't your fault."
"Lilith." Alastor said calmly.
Lilith looked up to see Alastor because it's been a while since he said her full name
"Let it go. What happened to Erin was in the past, and it was none of our faults."
"Okay"
"So Lil, what are you doing later anyways?"
"Nothing, why?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go into town with me."
"Yes"
With their afternoon planned, Lilith started telling the story that Mr. Graves told them earlier

"That certainly was an interesting story."
"I know, but what makes it even better is that Mistress Amaya fought that evil. It is so refreshing to know how strong and brave she is."
Alastor knows what she meant by that last statement "You're brave and strong too."
"I wish I could be like her. Maybe then I could prove to my sisters and father that I'm not worthless."
"Don't worry Lil; no matter what, you'll always be the bravest to me."
Still looking in his eyes, they kiss
"Oh my, what do we have here" Lillia teases
Now embarrassed, Lilith stops the kiss. "W-w-what do you want."
"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out later with all of us."
"I can't because I planned to go into town with Alastor."
With a smug smile, Lillia responded, "Oh ok, don't have too much fun now."
Lillia returns to the others and tells them what Lilith told her
"So they're going on a date, nice." Benjamin said amused
"Good for Lillia; she has been needing someone to support her even if she doesn't know it." Lillia said happily
Mad at this point from hearing this, Leon finally blew "Lilith needs someone to support her, not someone who is going to use her!"
*SLAP*
Lillia slapped Leon. "Just because you don't like Alastor doesn't mean he is using Lilith."
"Do you not remember what happened to Erin? HE LET HER DIE! HE COULD'VE SAVED HER, BUT HE CHOSE NOT TO, AND NOW HE IS USING LILITH FOR SOMETHING!"
Suddenly Leon was dropped to the floor by Lilith.
'Why do you keep dragging his name through the mud like that. He tried to save Erin, but he couldn't save everyone! No one can."
Leon started crying and ran off
"I guess he hasn't gotten over her death." Benjamin sighed
"I'll go get him" Everyone turned around to see Alastor talking
"But he hates you! No offense" Lillia stated
Alastor walked off in the direction of the academy cemetery
Eventually, he got there, and there he saw Leon crying on Erin's grave
"Leon," Alastor said calmy
Leon turned to see Alastor, and with rage, he pulled a dagger from his boot and attacked him
Alastor took the attack head-on, which landed in his abdomen
Now realizing what he did, Leon let go of the dagger. "W-w-why didn't you dodge."
Alastor pulled Leon close enough to say these words directly in his ear "You may do whatever you want with me, but if you ever do something to hurt Lilith, I will kill you myself."
With that, Alastor walked to her grave. "You know Erin isn't dead, right?"
Leon looked over at Alastor with a confused looked and said, "What?"
"Erin was a part of 'banned magic witches,' so naturally, she has an effigy that revives her somewhere. We need to know where."
Leon wipes her tears and says, "Really?"
"Yea, we need to find her effigy and find out why she hasn't been revived yet."
"Wait, she hasn't been revived yet?"
"By the looks of it, The effigy didn't revive her for some reason, and we need to find out why."
"Alright."
"Anyways, I need to get going; Lilith is probably waiting for me."
With that, Alastor went back to the oak tree to wait for Lilith

8 208Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

8 149The Rejected Royal
"I Logan Smith, reject you Emily West.", I try to smile. "I Emily West accept your rejection.", I try to say in the most cheerful voice, even though I'm dying inside. I still want to keep it inside. His eyes go wide."You accept YOUR rejection? So easily?", woah I was not expecting that. I nod as cheerfully as I can fake.Emily West ran away when she was rejected by her mate. When she ran away with her best friend, they went to the Open Moons pack. They'll just have to see what the Open Moons Pack has to offer.......This story is not edited, yet. (Probably will never edit it... Unless I really want to...)EDIT: Please don't waste your time, this book is honestly trash. I wrote this when I was super young, and inexperienced. I won't delete it, just in case you don't want to heed my warning and you're willing to waste your time. :) Anyway if you do decide to read it, I hope you at-least laugh at how bad and random it is.
