《The Lone Survivor》Chapter 26
Advertisement
What the hell just happened?! One minute, Zion was standing by my side. The next, he's spurting what I now realise was farewell speech, before disappearing after Fabian!
Lukah and the doctor fled the second they realised they no longer held the advantage, like the cowards they are. They're going to pay dearly for this, but revenge won't bring Zion back. Nothing will.
The only good that came of his recklessness is Fabian's safety, although the price of that was too great. What the idiot thinking?!
Fabian, who now lay with his head propped on my lap, began to stir. Slowly, his eyelids opening, to reveal his stunning green eyes. But the sparkle that usually made its presence known in his beautiful orbs was gone, and he looked up at me vacantly, like he wasn't even really there at all.
And then the words that would shatter my world again spilled from his lips.
'Who are you?"
I'd managed to hold myself together through everything, even my own brother's death. But those words broke me completely. Fabian's the one thing I thought I had left, but he's like a stranger now... Zion's stupid sacrifice meant nothing...
"Mister? Why are you crying?" The innocent voice asked, and the sound of it hurt me more than the silence previously had. Oh god, what did they do to him?!
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his shoved me away, quickly scrambling to his feet.
"Monster! You're the enemy! Where's Lukah?! You took me from him, didn't you! How could you?!" He yelled, balling his tiny hands into fists, which he proceeded to hit my chest with.
I barely felt a thing. The emotional pain was too much.
I let him hit me, the sadness growing inside me like a disease. What did they do to him? Whatever it was, it must have been horrible...

Then, I noticed a slip of paper tucked into the pocket of Fabian's white hospital trousers. Hesitantly, whilst he was preoccupied with hitting and yelling at me, I took the piece of paper and unfolded it.
Vampires,
If you're reading this, congrats, you won. You get to keep the prize you've won, so long as you can keep him safe from us.
Oh, but he'll never be the same. In fact, he'll always hate you. Isn't it wonderful how fragile the mind really is?
I hope you have fun with your pet, though I'm afraid I may have dirtied him a little. Apologies if you wanted to take his innocence, I just couldn't hold back! And he was so willing, screaming my name. Check his other pocket and you'll find a photo, just for you. He felt amazing, by the way. And I left some stuff inside, hope you don't mind.
All the best,
Lukah
I felt my blood boil, and I ripped the note apart angrily. If he actually touched Fabian like that... He better be lying, I'll kill him!
Talking a deep breath, I pulled another folded piece of paper out of Fabian's other pocket. It took me a while to gain the courage to unfold it, but when I did, I was horrified.
That son of a bitch isn't going to make it out alive next time see him.

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.

Yet, the old man dreams on about adventure, never too old to indulge in his delusions. One fateful night, however, his endless prayer gets answered.

What does the world have in store for Lao Chen. --- A Xianxia with a little twist. Rated gore and traumatising, potentially triggering. Enjoy!

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey.
