《Kingdom of One》Arya
Advertisement
Arya slowly backed away from the body, the pool of blood expanding, spreading towards her feet. Numbly she returned her face to her own, just as Jaqen had taught her. She had done what she must, just as the Many-Faced God had instructed her.
Green eyes closed forever.
Those eyes had held only madness. No regret. Remorse yes, but no regret.
Daenerys Targaryen had been too dangerous to be left alive. She would have brought only fire and destruction to the Seven Kingdoms. Jon had loved her, would have followed her to the ends of the earth and yet she had killed him. She would have let nothing stand in her way, and so she had to die. For the good of the Seven Kingdoms.
Somehow that did nothing to ease the ache in Arya's heart. Jon was still gone, and the Throne was still in chaos. Nothing had changed except that a new tyrant would take over. Arya sank to the floor.
The dragon in the center of the room lifted its head and screamed towards the night sky above. Whimpering, it lowered its snout and nuzzled Daenerys' lifeless body before letting out another bone-chilling screech. It began snorting and stomping, the room quivering.
Arya scrambled to a corner, trying to hide from its wrath. But instead of advancing toward her, the beast lowered its head and released a stream of molten flame, engulfing Jon's tomb in an inferno. "No!" Arya screamed, knowing that Jon's body would be destroyed, but the monster continued.
She tried to run forward, to stop the beast, but the withering inferno drove her back, threatening to scorch her skin. The glass tomb began glowing in the heat of the dragon's flame. The lid split open, the two halves sliding to the floor where they sat glowing like hot embers. And still the dragon continued its molten blaze. A shape rose from the vault, glowing even more brightly than the tomb it lay in. The man, Arya could now see it was, stood and stepped onto the floor, a flaming sword in its hand. It walked through the flames towards where she sat trapped against the wall, nowhere to go to escape its advancement.

Finally, the dragon ceased its blinding inferno and in the darkness that followed Arya could see nothing but the blazing sword, still advancing.
When the shape stood directly over her, it stopped and raised the blade. Arya ducked trying to hide, until she saw the face revealed by the dancing flames.
"Jon," she breathed.

The Reborn Runesmith
We have all read stories about the reincarnated or portaled earthling going to the fantasy world and gaining a cheat and super abilities. This isn't one of those. The hero or villian here is just a smart guy who only gets to choose a few things like what he is and then given the ability to have mana. He doesn't even get to choose what kind of mana he gets it could be fire,water,air, etc. This world is different than ours. Gunpowder, medicines, and other things will probably not work or be availible. Who is to say that the beings of this new world will even have the same internal anatomy. These are all things our MC will have to discover. Just like our world you can be born with great genetics but if you are a lazy and undriven person nothing will come of it. This is my first attempt to write. There WILL be mistakes. I am a mathmatician not an english major so be prepared for questionable grammer and spellings. One of these days if I enjoy doing this I will get me an editor who did english instead of math and science.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
