"So what game do you want to play sweetie?" Adrian asked as he looks down at his child with gentleness in his green eyes. "Hmm what about hide and go seek?" Riley asked as she looked up at her father with a smile. "Alright, do you want be it or me?" Adrian asked. "Hmmm, you be it daddy, and do not cheat!" Riley said crossing her arms over her chest. "I promise I won't cheat" Adrian said placing his hand over his heart. "Good now start counting!" Riley orders causing her father to chuckle. "Ok, 1...2...3..4" Adrian started to count as his baby girl took off running.
"Where to hid where to hide" Riley said to herself as she looks around the yard. "Ha that's perfect!" Riley said as she heads over to her fathers trailer and crawled under it. "5...6...7...8...9...10" ready or not here I come!" Adrain shouted as he began his search. As Adrian walking around searching for his child he noticed a police officer walking up their yard. "Hi officer can I help you?" Adrian asked. "Yeah, there's a gas leak, and you and your child should head on inside" the officer said causing Adrian to look over at his baby girl with a worried look. "Riley inside now!" Adrian yelled.
"But daddy what about our game?" Riley pouted as she crawls out of her hiding spot. "Just go inside" Adrian said once again causing his daughter to head inside with a frown on her face. "Thank you officer" Adrian said shaking his hand "Hey no problem" the officer said as he walks off. "I hope they get it fixed soon" Adrian said to himself a also made his way inside.

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord

A monster is born in the depths of the wilds, but she isn't like her siblings. Curiosity colors her every thought, and a hunger for understanding grows within this little creature. The world is full of wonders just waiting to be discovered! She's not just hunting for her next meal, her prey is something far greater: knowledge. But as wonderful as it is, discovery alone is missing half the point. After all, what joy is there in finding the next amazing thing when there's no one to share it with? Aiming to update Monday and Friday! Cover art by the amazing Kailey!Twitter @kbearart Full-size cover here.Full banner pic here. Gore tag for some somewhat graphic fight scenes. Profanity tag because there may be some explicit language, it shouldn't be excessive.
8 252Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.
