《Shadow Games (Book 1 of the Shadow duology)》Chapter 3
Advertisement
(Yugi's POV)
I was waiting for the bus, when I noticed someone from my class also waiting for the bus. His name was Hanasaki, he was always quiet and shy during class and he barely ever raised his hand to answer a question. "Good morning, Hanasaki!" I said, waving at him.
He turned to look at me with his blank, emotionless eyes...and turned away. "That insolence will get his mind sent to the Shadow Realm!" said a brave and powerful voice in my head as the bus showed up.
"Hey, Yugi...do you...wanna buy a ticket to Souzouji's all-night live solo?" Hanasaki asked.
"No thanks, sorry," I replied. After Hanasaki walked onto the bus I whispered, "So, voice, who are you?"
I got on the bus and the voice said, "Touch your Millennium Puzzle to find out!"
I touched the puzzle when I grabbed a grip and felt a tingling sensation, then where I was cut away to black.
*Inside the puzzle*
"Woah, where am I?" I asked no one.
"You're inside the Millennium Puzzle. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, master," the owner of the voice said. He looked like me, but taller and braver.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"I am Yami. I am your humble servant," Yami replied. "Master! A bully you call 'Souzouji' is stomping his way towards you! Would you like me to handle this?" Yami asked.
"Yes, Yami." I replied.
(Yami's POV)
*The real world...*
"Hey, Yugi! I'm talking to you!" Souzouji-san yelled.
"Hello, Souzouji-san! At your all-night live solo, we're going to play a game...if you have the guts!" I said, trying to aggravate him.
"Fine! Just be warned! You don't know who you're messing with!" Souzouji-san replied.

"Domino high! All students off!" said a voice over a speaker and I gave Yugi back his body.
*Outside Souzouji's karaoke...*
(Yugi's POV)
I walked up to the karaoke place and said, "Time for you to take over, Yami!"
"Thank you, master" Yami replied.
(Yami's POV)
I walked inside and set up the game while ignoring Souzouji-san. "Souzouji-san, here is the game! We each sit in front of these 'Sound Pierrot' toys that dance when they hear sound. We must be completely silent or else they'll dance. If one dances, whoever's it is will lose." I explained.
"Before we begin, I have something to show you!" Souzouji-san said, and revealed Hanasaki-san beat up and almost dead.
"That...bastard! Give him a fate worse than death, Yami!" Yugi said within my mind.
"How dare you hurt my friend! I shall give you a punishment worse than death! Game start!" I shouted and remained quiet.
It took an hour until Souzouji-san lost. "Y-Yugi?" Hanaski-san said faintely and Souzouji-san lost his consentration.
"Shut the hell up! Wait...no! My Pierrot's dancing!" Souzouji-san said, fully realizing the gravity of hus loss.
"You lose, Souzouji-san! ILLUSION OF ETERNAL TORMENT!" I shouted and Souzouji-san collapsed, trapped in his own mind. I picked up Hanasaki-san and whispered to him, "Let's get you home, Hanasaki-san."

Drakon the Necrolord v2
Rewrite of my novel Drakon the Necrolord. 100 thousand years ago the system apocalypse began and all of the known worlds with sentient life in the universe got merged together forming a super planet. Orcs elves humans dwarves and hundreds of other species now living on one planet. These are the memoirs of one of them. Written with the help of the AI in his head and a little help from his friends. As a note: I have tons of worldbuilding done (probably way more than needed, as that was why the rewrites took so long. Depending on the reception here I might do more stories in the same universe and/or build a wiki with all my worldbuilding stuff.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
