《Marooned With You》Less than a mile away
Advertisement
I wrote this while listening to the song above, thought that it might be interesting to share and let you listen while reading
"Shh!"
"What is it, Hal?"
"You hear that?"
"Hear what, gramps?"
"Don't call me that! Listen!"
Cluck. Cluckcluck.
"It's the sound of chickens 'bok-ing'!"
"Err... I think you meant clucking, Hal." Miss G corrected him.
"Yeah, whatever. But there are chickens!"
"Well, let's hurry then." Tam brisk walked forward.
All four of them went on quietly. The only audible thing is the faint clucking and the splashing of the sea. They're getting closer to the coast and they're all excited to meet the inhabitants of this uncharted island.
"Whoa!" Mo tripped on his own untied shoelaces, luckily he didn't fall face first.
"Are you okay?" Hal asked, the rest of the group slowed their pace.
"Yeah, you guys go ahead. I need to tie my damn shoelaces." Mo frowned at the muddied strings.
"Alright, just go straight, okay?" Mo nodded at Tam's words. Miss G and Tam began moving their feet towards the sound of the sea shore.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a hot minute. We are literally in a creepy jungle here, you're just gonna leave Mo alone?" The two women turned around to see an irate Hal.
"C'mon, Hal. It's just less than a mile away from here— look, I can already see the sand. He'll be fine." Tam tried reasoning with the older man.
"I don't trust the jungles..."
"I'm sure Mo can defend himself from any danger. Even if he needs backup, he can just shout for us and we'll come running." Miss G continued Tam's argument.
"Are you guys that impatient? Mo is just stopping for a while to tie his damn shoes, it's not gonna take YEARS, right?"
"Why don't you take a look?" Tam crossed her arms.
Hal turned around to see the younger male struggling to tie his own shoelaces.
"The bunny goes under the tree... or is it over...? Damn, I messed up, lemme try it again—"
"For god's sake, Mo! You're like, what? Twenty five? And you STILL struggle to tie your shoes?!" Hal massaged his balding head. Mo's face heats up in embarrassment.
"Shut up, gramps! Not my fault that my mom made me wear velcro straps all the way!" He avoided eye contact with everyone, ashamed that he can't perform such a simple task at his age.

"Damn! Let me do it for you, bud." Hal crouched down and began reaching for the strings.
"Don't touch me, old man!" Mo slapped his hands away.
"I can do it myself, and plus, I'm a man! I can take care of myself, I got a blackbelt in Karate. I can kick ass, unlike you, Hal. You lick ass." The women stifled their giggles. Now it's Hal's turn to have his face and ears red.
"Fine! Don't come cryin' when you're attacked by a swarm of mosquitos or something. Let's go! Let big boy handle himself since he's so macho." Hal stomped away. Miss G and Tam followed suit.
However, Hal can't shake the feeling of a pair of eyes on them. That is why he's worried for Mo.
But since he has a blackbelt and that attitude, Hal dropped his concerns.
He shouldn't have. Hal was right about not trusting the jungles.
"Alright, I made bunny ears... then now what?" Mo muttered to himself, his voice was too loud for him to register an extra pair of soft footsteps slowly approaching him.
And the sound of metal sharp scraping against soil too.
"Oh yeah! It goes over! Right, right... pfft, how can a bunny go under a tree, that's stupid..." Mo laughed at his own silliness as he worked on his shoes. Oblivious to the fact that he only has a few seconds left to live.
It doesn't matter if he has a blackbelt in karate at this point. It's too late for him to fight back.
"And then... the bunny goes into the burrow— what the..." A large shadow loomed over him. Mo widened his eyes when a massive, thick, calloused hand grabbed him by the hair.
"Hey—!"
A piercingly sharp pain slice through the side of his neck. He was about to scream, but the blade separated his voicebox.
Thud.
His headless body collapsed to the ground. His fingers went limp and the semi-finished bow slipped from his digits.
Blood dripped from his decapitated head's nostrils, mouth and especially his exposed oesophagus. Mayanka held it in the air for a while to let it drain.
Red sprayed the green around him. It also sprayed against Mayanka's heavily tanned and muscular legs. His underarms, waistcloth, toned abs, machete and face weren't spared from the splash.

Mayanka carefully flipped the body with his machete, his front is now facing up. He threw Mo's head next to the body, it rolled and stopped at its' arm.
Your captor then used his weapon to slice his cargo pants open. Upon peeling the article of clothing away from his lower torso, Mayanka frowned at the size of his genitals.
Male human genitalia is chewy and has a distinct flavour when it's washed properly and prepared just right. From Mo's size, it looks like it's enough for one person. Scratch that, it's only enough for you, not for Mayanka.
Slightly irritated, he kicked Mo's deceased body again to flip him back. Mayanka poked his buttocks with a finger and found it to be squishier than he expected.
Buttocks are full of fat, the softer it is, the more fat it contains. At least that compensates his tiny genitals, Mayanka likes eating lard rice or just... pure, greasy fat like it is pudding— human lard is a good substitute for pork lard.
If it wasn't for his active lifestyle, Mayanka would have died from a heart attack years ago.
Mayanka poked around at various parts of his body. He raised both eyebrows in surprise upon discovering that he is mostly made up of fat despite his lean build.
Now, Mo isn't exactly short. He is considered tall in modern society standards. However, he is still much shorter than Mayanka in comparison. One would believe that he is very heavy.
But that is not the case here.
Mayanka was able to lift him by pinching three fingers on his shirt. The Vuzinian grinned, he's unnaturally light yet "meaty", therefore he has higher fat content.
Good news for him, HORRIBLE news for you.
Mayanka carried Mo on his forearm as if he's a face towel. His decapitated head rests in Mayanka's bloodied palm.
The giant pouted, there is four of them. Storage is going to be an issue...
Why not make dried, human jerky? They can last long and they're tasty.
But then, he'll get bored. You'll probably get bored of it too.
He sighed, maybe he should have brought a freezer from Vuzinia with him before leaving. A power generator too—
Mayanka's ears perked up at a familiar sound.
Cluckcluck. Cluck.
Ah! What a wonderful idea, the other three can keep themselves alive for a while.
Mayanka sighed. That means he would need to build a bigger chicken coop... no, a human coop.
A much bigger one.
This is going to be tricky, humans are much smarter than chickens or wild boars. He can't make them stay in one place while he builds the coop.
...he could release them back into the wild and hunt them like prey later. Set some hidden traps around to catch them. It could be a good past time activity for Mayanka when you don't want to play with him. From what he observed, the other three is the absolute worst at stealth or common sense.
Maybe the man named Hal has a bit more logic than the two women but no one can ever outsmart or overpower Mayanka. This is HIS territory.
It's not like they can call for help or leave the island without crossing bodies of water. He doubt that they're stupid enough to try and swim across miles and miles of deep blue.
Moreover, the best those three can possibly build is a simple wooden raft. Not even the strongest ships can survive the nightmarish sea storms either.
Mayanka knows how a helicopter works. You can't fly without the propeller or call for help if the cord connecting the receiver is cut.
Unfortunately for the researchers, Mayanka already found their means of coming here.
Mayanka gasped. You! How could he forget about you!?
He quickened his pace, you would probably be frightened to meet them without him. They might attack you too!
Mayanka mumbled Vuzinian curses under his breath as he upgraded his speed walk into a light jog.
He prays that you're asleep right now so you don't have to meet the other three explorers that are potentially hazardous towards you.
Another realization struck him like lightning to a metal pole. It left such a bitter and painful feeling in his body.
Something extremely important and critical to your health— mental and physical.
It was overwhelming, tears prick his eyes as he let the realization in his head play over and over again.
You're not fed yet.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

8 94Realm Of Assola
The story follows Aron, a young beggar. Having lived in a ruined village for as long as he knew of himself and with the lack of food combined with harsh conditions, he isn't happy with his current life. With the war on the horizon, their village being close to the border between kingdoms. And an increased number of people, soldiers going through the village. Things are bound to change. Realm Of Assola is a big world, that will be revealed as the young beggar Aron gets on his feet, and expands his horizons. With the kingdom that allows slavery, and the increasing amount of casualties. The demand for them increased. But will that turn out to be a good thing? There will be classes, spells, magic, and more. About classes, they will be somewhat close to LitRPG but the focus won't be on them. They will be used as means, not the focus. You could say that it has a slow start, but it is more that Arons progress will be somewhat slow. And it takes him some time to adapt and find a way to improve. Daily updates for the first fifteen or so chapters. At that point, I will most likely have to reduce it. To something more manageable. So I decided on a schedule, every day at 18:00 CET new chapter should be up.
8 183Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
8 248How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
8 142Melody of Time -Naruto-
My name is Harmony Kakureta Merodi and to say it simply; my life is screwed up. Just a couple of days ago I was on my way to fight in the war with my teammates/friends, but today, I'm some how a genin again, with a different squad, but that's not the kicker. My best friend, who just turns out to be the only person left on our squad that's alive, is now 13 years older than me! Fate must either really hate me or really love messing with my mind because along with that little fact and some other shit that happens later one I'm surprised I haven't gone insane yet! Well, isn't my life just lovely... Or filled with lovely madness.--------------------Completed, but still editing
