"Are you an elf and what do you mean vampire? I’m a human.”
I asked. The man looked at me like I'm an idiot.
“I am a sand elf I understand if you don’t know that but how do not know you're a vampire?”
He told me sounding confused. What does he mean I am a human aren't I. Why do I feel like I am human or at least used to be?
“How do you know I am a vampire?”
“Your hair and your horns. All vampires have silver hair you can also tell the type of vampire by other colours of their hair and horns. Looking at yours you are a very powerful vampire.”
For a moment I just stood there staring at him. I'm a vampire and a powerful one. How did I become a vampire? wasn’t I a human who worked in a military history museum in London?
I was, wasn’t I?
“What is a royal vampire doing out here alone?”
He asked bringing me out of my thoughts. Wait I'm a royal vampire?
“I don’t know I can’t remember. How do you know I am a royal vampire?”
“I can tell from your hair and your horns.”
Wait I have horns?
“Lesser vampires have one silver horn and entirely silver hair. Noble vampires have two horns that are half red as well as their hair. Royal vampires have four horns that are half gold with half gold hair like you do.”
Taking hold of my hair I bring it into view. As the elf said it started silver and ended with gold. Reaching up I can feel four objects on my head these must be my horns. I can’t see them but I can feel that there are two on the front of my head and two more to the sides. If what the elf said is true I am a vampire now.

How did I not notice the horns earlier?
“You said you don’t know how you got here? Do you at least know your name? My name is Wolfram.”
Once again the elf who I now know is called Wolfram brought me out of my thoughts. what is my name? I can’t seem to remember my name from when I was human but I seem to have memories of a new name. My vampire name.
“I am Eirisse Ianthe Silvana.”
“I can’t recall hearing about a vampire royal family with the name Silvana. You could be the first of a new vampire royal family.”
A new vampire royal family. Am I like a queen or something then? Probably not I haven't got a country to rule over yet. Could I get one? But how would I go about doing that? I’ll think about it later.
“Wolfram you said you are a sand elf what is a sand elf?”
“We are a type of elf who lives in sandy areas such as deserts. We are quite rare compared to other types of elves. I only know of one place that we sand elves live and that’s the town I live in.”
Mostly what I suspected elves that live in sandy areas.
“What you did with the sand earlier was that magic?”
“It was sand magic. It’s what we sand elves specialise in. we also specialise in grey magic like all elves do but we mostly focus on sand magic.”
It was magic. Real magic. can't believe what I am hearing. Can I use magic? Looking at Wolfram I excitedly ask.
“Can you teach me magic?”

Marvel's Phantom
Dying sucks. Waking up in a world filled with Aliens, Gods, and Monsters sucksx2. Learning that I'm technically still dead, well that takes the cake.

8 160The Devil's Chosen
Tobias lives the life everyone wants... though that's only on the outside. At home, he faces abuse and awful, unloving parents. That is, until the fateful day when he dies.
8 114Daeniya, My Child
With the birth of Emperor Daurellian, the most prominent empire on the continent of Daeniya, Il Allad, sees a prophecy of destruction in its near future. In seeking out the key to prevent such destruction, Daurellian rapidly advances its arrival. Only a small group of individuals who are members of the secret society known simply as the Ring understand the prophecy, and, as such, do what they must to stop Daurellian before he creates his own demise and ends the world itself. While tensions rise on the continent and people are forced to war, a singular force looms in the background, slowly growing and amassing potential.
8 129The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
8 89Velteria: The Thief
(Indefinite Hiatus) Life was fine, if a little harsh, for Liliei, a young thief living in one of the biggest city on the continent. That is, until she stole an old ring, and everything went wrong. One of my goal in writing this is to improve my writing skills, so do tell if you have constructive criticism.
