My friend who moved to the city told me this story: "A married couple lived in our town. They didn't have any children. At first they lived well, but then Nicholas took to the bottle. Nancy was trying to do her best to eradicate her husband's addiction to alcohol.
She scolded and begged him, left him and lived with her mother for a couple of days. She even tried to put him into rehab but nothing worked. Nicholas hit rock bottom, but Nancy had nowhere to go. After 35 years of marriage, she felt sorry for him even though he looked pathetic. Nancy was afraid that he would start a fire in the house and burn them.
One night her husband woke up, but didn't start walking around the house, as he usually did, but woke up his wife instead. He was completely sober. Nancy shook the sleep off, turned on the light, and asked:
- What happened, why did you wake me up?
To what Nicholas replied:
- Nancy, I will die today.
Nancy grinned, thinking that her husband was trying to ask for money to get some booze. But when she saw his eyes, she asked him in a trembling voice:
- Why did you, Nicholas, decide to die today?
- They came to get me - said Nicholas.
There were tears in his eyes.
Nancy went to get a glass of water and handed it to her husband. He drank it and continued to talk.
- Alex Wright and Peter Talan visited me. I was the one who carried their coffins to the cemetery! They told me not to drink today, to shave and have a bath, because I'm gonna die, Nancy.
And his eyes filled with tears again. His wife looked at him and believed that everything was the way her husband described. Her husband never cried. He screamed, swore, yelled songs but never cried. Nancy hugged him:

- Don't cry, Nicky, we all will get there, you and I are in our 70s, it's natural. If we only knew if there is life in the other world, you know? What do you think?
- I don't know - said the husband after thinking for some time, - no one has ever told us about it. If I die today, then there is the afterlife, because somebody came from there to call me, right?

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D

Mutant Farmer in the Apocalypse
In the year 2022, one year after the Z-20 Virus outbreak, all of humanity had been infected by the virus, and their bodies reacted differently. The majority of the humans turned into zombies, while the minority turned into ability users. Some didn’t change into either. They were powerless in comparison, as even feral zombies were more powerful than an average human. At 20 years old, Yang Zhang was used as a scapegoat and kicked out of his town; a medium-sized shelter base used to protect humanity from the ever-growing threat of zombie attacks. Scared and powerless against the harsh world infested with zombies, he stumbled upon a squirrel that ate the brain of a dead ability user and began discharging electricity constantly. He realized that he could use this newfound information to protect himself. “That’s right! I can build a farm and create more and more of these mutated animals and plants to protect myself!”Thus started the journey of Yang Zhang as he created a farm while continuously breeding many magical —albeit grotesque— mutated animals and plants. Yet, once the zombies and ability users started noticing his unique farm, they began to invade. With no choice left, he armed himself by creating stronger mutated animals and plants to protect the farm at all cost! “Get off of my lawn, you bunch of greedy pigs!”**Tower Defense + (Mutated) farm simulator + Zombie waifu.**--Original Cover art, using Picrew.Cover + Editor by Silly_FoxThis book is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub--
