Santiago
Entering my house, I grabbed a beer from the fridge and joined my father in the kitchen who was busy reading a newspaper from Dominican Republic. He must've stopped by a Mexican restaurant to get one of those. "Wasup pops",I said sitting across from him.
"Nothing much you hear what's going on in the dominicanas?",he asked me.
"No what?",I asked even though I wasn't all that interested.
"There's rivalry between us and Haitians. There's people killing and cutting the haitian's heads off. It's just really bad over there."
"Really? Do you know why",suddenly I became interested because the girl I was dating was Haitian.
"Dominicans discriminating Haitians. Stripping them of their birth rights and wants the Haitians to prove they are Dominicans although they don't look Dominican",my dad explained.
"Damn that's tough."
"Yeah it's unfair. Isn't the girl your talking to Dominican?",he asked. He's heard talks about Khia but never seen her, same for my mom. "No she's Haitian."
"You don't love the latinas no more son?",he asked confused.
"No it's not that I just wanted to try something different this time."
"Your lucky this is the Americas because if you was back home, your little girlfriend would've got killed and you would've been in some trouble too."
"Thank God for the land of the free right",I said getting up from the table. I wasn't mad about what my pops said but It kinda made me a bit upset because I decided to date outside of my race. I'm not sure if they like her or not yet but if already made up in my mind that I will continue seeing her. Khia was innocent, beautiful Goddess-like, she was more than just a queen and I couldn't wait to treat her right. However, if my parents doesn't like her because of her nationality, this relationship is going to suffer a great deal but I ain't gonna be like her ex and let her be a sidechick because she ain't sidechick material to me. I opened my gray MacBook and went to the school website to see what assignments I had to do. I loved doing my work and handing it in before the due date so I ain't got to worry about it later. I loved my major but I was thinking about switching it up to business. With college you want to do one thing but end up finding something else you wanna do. Criminal justice was a cool major but anybody can get a degree in that and I wanna make big bucks in the future. I was a straight A kid, best in my class so I wonder how it would change if I decided to change majors. As I layed down and thought about my future, it made me happy. When your a kid that came from a poor country you have the ambition to achieve a lot and set high goals for yourself. The grind never stops. You reach your goal, you set new goals that was how my mind was set up. Suddenly my phone ring, it was babygirl.

"Hey novio? Did I say that right?",she said. I laughed and said,"yea you did. Where you learned that?"
"You want the truth?",she asked me.
"I always want the truth."
"Google translate",she said giggling and I laughed as well. I like the fact that she was tryna learn the language. It made me appreciate her even more cause it was cute. "Wasup with you",I asked her.
"Nothing I was just thinking about how you didn't even talk to me today. Is that what boyfriends do?"
"Nah not your boyfriend. I apologize babygirl."
"Apology accepted." I got a full hour in talking to her before I decided to hit the books. It was almost a quarter to midnight and I was still trying to study but my mind gave up on me and my brain was starting to hurt. I was burning myself out.
"Mi hijo",my mom came in my room and said.
"Hey mom."
"I see your studying for your classes I did not want to interrupt. You know you have school in the morning hijo get some rest."
My mom was so caring and I loved that about her. "Si mamá. I will",I said. She came to me and kissed me on the forehead. She's been doing that since I was little but I didn't mind it. My mom was amazing and I truly believed that.

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

Graphomurk
The gods play with the fates of people through their incomprehensible games. And what about you? Are you caught as well in the steely trap of destiny? Are you a pawn? Queen? Or maybe a future player? And what is the meaning of the game? What are millions of universes created and destroyed for? You will have to find out for yourself... The author himself is lost. There is no story, no leading idea. There is only the infinite bending of everything and anything in the name of the triumph of meaninglessness. The author just pours endless streams of graphomania on the mind of careless readers. Beware! Graphomurk! *** This is translation of Russian. Link to original author Avadhuta -> "http://samlib.ru/a/avadhuta/".
