《Marauding Gods (First Draft)》Amira, Fire Primordial Dragon
Advertisement
Amira, the Primordial Dragon, saw what she had long expected but also forgotten, just before she was completely annihilated.
At the moment of her death, Rena, the First Dragon,'s body was torn in nine parts by the siamese dragon mawl.
Eight of these parts survived the wrath of the maddened two-headed dragon.
Thanks to the Goddess Mana, each of these eight shards of Rena reawakened as living entities known today as the primordial dragons.
Upon awakening, each inherited one of the eight main elements that were once part of Rana, but along with those elements, each of the eight dragons inherited a shard of Rana’s traits and emotions.
Amira represented the first dragon’s guilt and fiery regrets.
Living up to her inheritance, Amira, unlike her brethrens, decided to remain, where Rana's biggest regret lay.
Amira, the Fire Primordial, awaited the day she would be free of the regrets that had plagued her since the day she was born into this world.
She awaited Rana the two-headed dragon's return for millenials because she knew that after the goddess Mana's sacrifice in a desparate attempt to put an end to Rana's madness, they would one day be reborn in this world.
Amira was even more convinced of this when the man and his daughter appeared on her doorstep one day.
Humanity knew him as Solomon the Loner, but the primordial dragons knew him as Mon, the Ninth Dragon, the Lonesome Human-shaped Primordial Dragon. Despite being born a human, he possessed some of the power of a primordial dragon, allowing the primordial dragons to eventually accept him as one of their own.
The existence of Mon and his daughter proved that the goddess Mana's actions would one day awaken the two-headed dragon from their slumber.
Patiently and diligently, Amira waited for that day, for she believed it was her duty and punishment. She laid in wait for their return, only to realize too late that she had been waiting for the wrong person.

Seeing that radiance of white, black, and red rush ominously towards her, Amira realized that the one she should’ve been waiting for wasn't the two-headed dragon but rather him.
The one whose existence was a vessel for the two-headed rage and the one that drove the goddess Mana to her final sacrifice.
An, The Forgotten Illusion.
Some might have seen him as a dream, but to many, what he brought upon them was nightmares.
In her last moment, Amira, whose life was only regret, realized that she was near. She unleashed a silent call for her brethren.
It was also at that moment that she ultimately realized that amidst her call, it wasn’t her seven brothers alone who received her call, but also, another presence that came across to her as both foreign and familiar. Its presence shone differently than the seven others, but she too, received Amira’s calls.
In her last instant, Amira, who had been diligently upholding her duty to millenials, finally stepped down and grasped onto that well-deserved rest. That was death to her.
For she knew that history would be repeated today, by her own hands.

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks
8 288Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.
8 207Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
