《Scars (Remus Lupin)》Quince
Advertisement
Remus woke up smiling, Cassiopeia was in his house, and she was finally having a proper date with him.
He opened the guest room's door, but the bed wasn't undone and it was empty. On top of the covers, there was a piece of parchment with the word Moony, it was Cassiopeia's handwriting.
He opened it as fast as he could. Before que began reading he looked at himself in the mirror, sighed and rolled his eyes.
Moony,
I'm sorry. I put some thoughts on what you told me yesterday, but I couldn't trust you, not after the family that died today. It was Dorca's. She's okay, don't worry. I don't want anything to happen to any of your family, so I've decided to stay away for a while. I love you, and I hope you know just how much you did for me. You gave me wings, so I'm just gonna say goodbye now.
See you at Hogwarts,
Cass.
She was gone. Remus was crying now, he thrashed the room out of anger. He couldn't believe she did that m, she left him, she left him a day before the full moon.
He didn't know what to do, he was lost. Hope then came into the room and hugged her. She read the letter, she understood the girl, but she loved her son.
"Come on pup! I made pumpkin pie"

The Black witch was sitting on the edge of the road smoking a cigarette. Tears were flowing like waterfalls, but she kept a straight face. Soon enough, the knight bus appeared right in front of her.
"Leaky cauldron" was all she said and got in.
Inside, not many people looked up from the daily profet when she entered the bus. One special person did, Sirius.
"Cousin, fancy seeing you here" he noticed she was crying. Her usual black eye shadow was smeared all over her face.

"I would say the same, but I hate lying" she smirked.
"Sit" he commanded. His expression changed, he looked sad,worried.
"Listen, I left him. I... after Dorcas..." she started crying, she didn't know what to do or how to feel. She was scared.
"I know, he told me, but what do the blacks say when shit happens?" He said smiling
"Be strong" she said rolling her eyes.
They arrived to their destination. The leaky cauldron was full of witches and wizards. Some were having diner, others were drinking fire whiskey.
"One room please" they gave her the keys, room 17.
"Sirius, leave." He was taken aback by the sudden comment.
"Why?"
"Just leave me please. I want to be alone."
So Sirius left to the Potter Manor. He knew leaving his cousin alone wasn't a good idea, but he was scared of what she was capable of doing.
Cassiopeia ordered a bottle of fire whiskey and drank it alone in her room. She was drunk, so drunk she sent an owl to Remus that read I miss you.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
8 293Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)

Eternia Memories: 3 In the aftermath of the critical fight between Class A and Class F, things finally returned to a state of normality for the Elites. Kato and co., together with Alice, joins forces to form a small band in their leisure time, but their short bit of peace and quiet are about to be overturned by an upcoming school-wide talent show that’s going to be the razor-sharp focus for many student organizations in Korolev Senior. In the midst of the coming storm of power struggles, Caius, the coolest of the men of the Elites, finds himself between a rock and a hard place; the epic return of an original Elite and his first love to their school, Mayumi, and a part-time softie delinquent from the drama department, Cecilia. Under the weight of his identity as an Elite and their commitment to their class’ anti-establishment agenda, his newfound role in the drama department will not be easy for him. He’ll have to, unfortunately, test the strength of his bonds with his friends once more, as he had done many years ago at Mayumi’s ill-timed departure. (Unlisted: Volume 1)

8 252Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border. Among the dark rail tunnels and mine shafts are an unfinished treaty up for negotiation; a fanatical terrorist group with questionable backers; and ordinary people caught in the middle. In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.
