《Enda (Boyxboy)》Chapter 40: Risky Bussiness.
Advertisement
I am flung forward into the wall as shards of glass crash into the wall beside my face. I cover my face as a huge shard flies towards my head. My eyes widen as a flash of red splashes into my eyes.

"Fuck!" I hiss, hitting the wall. Shards of glass flying around me. I growl in anger, "What the fuck was that?!"
"That, is another attack from the Underworld army." Luckie answers, Zi and Daegi struggling with a huge ugly ogre fighting to get into the hallway entrance.
"Where's Canton?!" I shout, my heart dropping. Canton is still drained from a few days ago. "Well where is he, Luckie?!"
"He was in his room resting." Luckie thrusts out black magic at a few small demon dogs. They get shredded into nothing but a pile of flesh and organs. I look through the broken window and see blood splattered onto the wall. Near Canton's room.
"I can't sense much from Canton!"
"I can smell his blood!!" Ujik growls, rushing past us. Suzuki on his trail. My pulse speeds up.
"Canton?!" I scream, running down the hallway to his room. Seeing him leaning against the wall near his room. "CANTON?!"
"Shut up." Canton responds, blood all over him. He holds up his arm. Blood squirting all over. Ujik rushing to him, sliding on the floor onto his knees. Wrapping a cloth around Cantons arm. I stare.
"Canton....your hand it's..."
"It's fine. I'll be fine." Canton says, before seeing his missing limb on the ground, "Did someone lose a hand?"
"Canton, really?" Ujik asks, Suzuki stares down at Canton shocked.
"Canton needs both hands to use all the power within him." He says, Canton rolls his eyes.
"I still have both hands, silly."
"No, no you don't." I say, harshly.
"But I do. I-"
CRASH!!!
Dragons roar and the glass shatters. Luckie covers me while Suzuki covers Ujik and Canton. Then Dukem emerges. Looking drained and broken hearted but holding his blade hastily in hand. He runs over to us.
"Sorry, where's Can- (See's the cut limb) Uh, who's is that?" Dukem points to the hand. Canton see's.

"Well that looks like..." Canton's eyes widen, "That's my fucking hand!!! What the fuck!!"
"Calm down, Canton." Ujik growls. Dragons crawl to the intruders and whip around the demons. Before a huge black dragon with red eyes emerges attacking them. "Fuck, we need to move!!"
"What about my hand!!"
"Grab it and let's go!" I hiss, running down the hallway.

. (Normal POV.)
"My hand..." I trail off, looking around for Lithu. "Where's Lithu?"
"He's with father. Calm down."
"I need to see Lithu. We need to banish them again. I need to see Lithu." I demand, making Mynx glare at me. Smack! My cheek burns and eyes water from the force. I stare at Mynx. "What the fuck, Mynx?"
"I'm sick of your whining. If you were truly the Prince of light than we wouldn't be doing this right now. (Grits teeth) I deserve to have that title more than you." Mynx growls, I scowl.
"You're afraid to show your face. A prince that's scared of showing his face is-"
"Fuck you! At least I don't go bitching about how I'm useless with my power. If you trained as long as I have you would have-"
"That's where you and I differ I know! But what can I do I was sent to earth. I can't say I'm sorry for not knowing about-"
"You're not hero worthy I am!"
"Mynx, (heart gets heavy) yeah you are. I am supposed to be the hero but I make hasty decisions and you turn up and always save me. I'm useless, I know. (Daegi points to a falling Dragonheart) I wish I could be more like you."
"Dragonheart!!!!" Daegi screams, running away flailing his arms.
I flinch as Dukem grabs me and tosses me over his shoulder rushing away quickly. The shape of the falling Dragonheart getting closer to the ground. I start shouting. Before getting thrown onto the ground as the wind gushes from the Dragonhearts landing hits us. I wince in pain.
"Ouch." I whine.
Getting pulled back onto my feet and dragged to the meeting room. Lithu and father killing some possessed faeries. Lithu slashing into one the wings and digging it out. Blood spurts onto his hands. I pull away from the guys and grasp onto Lithu's white cloak with my one hand. Father runs to the wall, does a backflip over the faerie and cuts his air blade into the faeries head pulling it back and the faerie falls limp. I stare, amazed. Even dads a better fighter than me. Dad stops and retracts his blade back into his hand. He snickers.

"That was so much fun!" He shouts, happily clapping his hands.
"Jeez, you're still the same." Luckie comments, face palming. Ujik chuckles, nodding.
"Canton?" Lithu asks, I let go of his cloak and gaze into his eyes.
"We need to do the banishing spell again." I command, Lithu looks at my arm. Shaking his head.
"We cannot do it if you only have one hand." Lithu responds, pushing me away. I stare at him.
"So how-"
"I will lead. Just follow." He instructs. My loving gaze turns into hatred. I grab his arm and squeeze.
"What do you mean, you-" He slaps my hand away. I stare dejected. My mouth moving but not making a sound.
"Follow my lead!" He commands, making hand gestures and saying something in a different language. A big white circle surrounds us.
"What are you doing? We can't leave them here?!" Mynx disapproves angry.
"They have already retreated. Everyone is safe. This attack was to be expected." Lithu responds, I shake my head stepping back out of the circle. Windows shatter and the shards fall onto the ground in twos and threes. I bleed out more.
"Lithu?" I ask almost in a whisper.
Red eyes glare at me....
"Canton?" Daegi asks, noticing I'm not in the circle, "What are you doing?"
"I-It's wrong. I-I..." Red eyes surround me and I feel cornered. My feet backing up to the wall. I slide down it and cover my eyes with my hand. "Something's wrong. I-I can feel it. There's something wrong. I-I can't leave."
"Freedom?" Father says, watching me. I get up and fling myself out the window.
"CANTON!!!" Mynx screams. Before I turn to see a flash of white.
Dragonhearts fight to keep whoever is here alive. A three headed behemoth demon swats at the ones flying around him. Trying to take him down. I look at the opening for the sun and moon in the Earth city on the ceiling. If I can call a Dragonheart than I can escape that way.
"Canton, come here..." I hear whispered in my ear. Spinning around to see the red eyes pursuing me. I flinch and run.
Jumping over pieces of cement and trees. Wincing from pain as my body begins to feel weak. I see a fire of burning dead demons piled up. Then glance at my arm. Dashing up to it and taking off the cloth. Holding my bloody nub out. Biting down on my lip. The fire melts the nub. I mentally scream for my life. Biting down hard breaking skin. Blood trickling down my jaw. The fire burns away the exposed skin cooking the opening closed. I stop biting my lip. Blood covering my jaw. The perfect imprint of my teeth sunk into my bottom lip. My body starts to shake impulsively. I scream, the fire closing up my wound. I pull away. Sweating, shaking and gasping for air. But look at my nub and see that it's closed. Cooked is more appropriate. Dragonhearts roar above me. I peer up meeting the bright pink eyes of one.
"Help me." I whisper, holding my hand up to him. Sending a ball of light towards him. The dragon smirks, lowering to the ground near me.
"What are you doing here, Endamin? You could've been killed." The dragons deep loud voice says to me. Glancing at my burnt nub. I snicker.
~Canton, come to us~
"Come where?" I question, staring back at the red eyes.
~Dragons peak~
"Dragonheart, take me to dragons peak." I command, the dragon lowers his head for me to get on.
"As you wish." He responds.
The red eyes watch as we fly off and up into the ceiling. The wind blowing through my hair as we reach the outside. The Suns beginning to set. I sigh. I don't want to worry everyone. I had no choice.
I heard something...
It could change everything that we know....
Everything that I've known....

Lost in Love
My name is Alexander Halesworth, sole heir to a prestigious ducal house. Or rather, that’s what my identity is supposed to be now. I still haven’t gotten used to this whole situation yet. Not long ago I was just a humble store clerk. But shortly after getting into an unfortunate road accident, I woke up in the setting of an infamous Otome Game called “Lost in Love: A Heart Throbbing Romance in a Fantasy World~!” Yeah. It’s even trashier than it sounds. Don’t judge me, it was a gift from a friend. *cough* Anyway, this situation wouldn’t be too bad, except I ended up in the body of the worst possible person: the villainess’ older brother. Alexander has great looks, near limitless wealth, and a thoroughly rotten personality. In most of the game’s endings I end up dead or exiled. My family also falls to ruin, and don’t even get me started on what happens to my evil little sister. Well, whatever. If that’s the hand fate dealt me, then I just have to prevent the bad ends, right? And if I have no choice but to deal with this family’s baggage, I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it. Being filthy rich and powerful has its benefits. For example, this cute maid who I get to tease whenever I want. (Male lead otome reincarnation, inspired by Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite and similar works)
8 149The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
8 241The Crystern: Heart of Adventures
The Crystern: Heart of Adventure has been dropped out of the Writathon Challenge and placed on hiatus until further notice, in order to better plan out what's happening and to give me time to work on older projects. Fifteen-year-old Skyler Kadrix III wishes to set off on a journey to find the fabled Cyrstern, a skybeast unlike any other and the origin of the Crystals that grant people special abilities, increase their own abilities, and even allow them to gain Experience and Levels. A promise to his mother has kept him from setting off yet, but he's nearly ready to leave. When he meets Finn, who came with his master, the elf Sara, in search of a relic of the Ancients rumored to have been hidden somewhere on their skybeast, Skyler finds his journey beginning sooner than he'd expected. The journey takes the young boys across the sea of clouds, to various skybeasts and adventures. Whether they find the Crystern or not, they don't care as long as they keep moving forward. Posting schedule TBD upon return. The Sexual Content tag is for once the boys are adults, not while they're still minors. Because of this, it will be a fair while before the qualifying content appears in-story.
8 124Monarch of Monsters
To awaken and improve their abilities, talents, skills, and stats, everything must level up and consume specific materials. Caesar is no different. Although his parents had given him great boons to start, they had disappeared soon afterwards, fleeing from a threatening foe. Driven by his urge to find them, Caesar consumes the greatest gift they left behind: a catalyst of supreme power. It grants him the ability to summon back monsters he kills and fuse them together. With it, he will explore complex dungeons and secret areas to devour their resources and gain the authority he needs. But others won't be willing to let him take everything. He and his summons must rise above them all quickly enough or be consumed in conflict. And Caesar will have to decide which monsters to use and how far he should go in order to accomplish his goals. Through his journey, he’ll uncover the origins of his powers, his monsters, and the world itself. Updates Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
