《The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse》Chapter 1: Rebirth
Advertisement
"Motherf.u.c.ker! Lao zi1 shouldn't have been so soft-hearted to buy the little brat!" Luo xun cursed furiously under his breath, as he weaved left and right in the midst of narrow alleyways, closely following the slippery fish-like figure.
One ran, one chased, various businesses on the roadside pointed at the pair like they were watching a great show, and seeing that the one in front was a quickly fleeing boy wearing a burlap sack that barely even covered his thighs, everyone knew that the man behind had unluckily lost his goods. Ze ze2, nowadays only the rich can afford to buy young boys, you know? If you want to solve problems of the body all you have to do is be willing to part with several first grade jing he and go to the red-light district and find a random a.s.s to stick it in.
Going left, going right, when he came upon the intersection, the chaos there distracted Luo Xun--a gang of tall and burly men were brawling!
"d.a.m.n it, it's raging flames and chaos!3" What was with today's luck? All he wanted was to grab a few years worth of jing he savings to buy some sort of present for his 32nd birthday, but at the intersection he encountered that slave trader, that kid with the dark and stubborn eyes, on his body were terrible scars, he let the ineffable desire to buy him be born. But as he was making the deal4, the kid turned and just ran off! And now he's come across a gang fight!
Luo Xun discovered the child had run away immediately, then guessed, there was an eighty percent chance he'd met a swindler. Children were not good after all, once you have them in your hands, as long as you don't let others s.n.a.t.c.h them away they're still yours. For the most part these children worked with slave traders, as soon as they got their money, the children would run away, hiding and waiting for the buyers to go home without a thing.

Luo Xun had only ever heard of such a thing before, but never encountered--because he had never bought, how could he have?6 Today was the rare day of his birthday, suddenly seeing the expression of the child greatly moved him, the desire for a son to accompany in the future for half of his life outweighed any other things that moved his heart......Sure enough, there was no good in the world to speak of!
Suddenly breaking into the middle of the fighting, the boy was clearly shocked, stupidly standing where he was for a while, not knowing to get out of the way, suddenly facing a huge fireball about to smash into him, don't know which power had produced it. The bottom of his heart rose up for a moment in fear, he'd had enough of being considered as special bed goods, so he had disregarded his life to escape his new buyer, but now......Was he really going to die?
A tremendous push came from behind, the child's big crow-black eyes blankly looked at the person who'd pushed him, that was a thin and weak man, but his strength apparently was not too bad.
Like a gust of air, the huge fireball hit the man's body, and that pair of tea-coloured eyes lost their s.h.i.+ne.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Solstice Anthology
A collection of short stories I've written over the past few years, the centerpiece being "Solstice" itself: On the Winter Solstice, the wind whispered. It roared and blew across the world, and reached even the Heavens above. With it, the great cold of winter flooded across that higher plane, and the gods staggered. They felt the golden dust of their divinity drift away from them, and the message of that wind became clear… This Winter will never end so that the Earth will.
