《Murder of the Three Dead Men》Owl
Advertisement
Why would an owl make a man who formerly firmly believed in everything created by man except for god suddenly turn his cheek to all his beliefs and suddenly be a believer of all gods? The owl itself was normal but what was inscribed inside its outstretched wings was beyond coincidence. Inscribed in the owl was his last name, Moray. Zack Moray had spent his summer reading books on the owl. It was in one book he found that a cavern had the owl etched on one of the stalactites. He had gone and found this to be true. It was this unfortunate day that an earthquake struck and Zack Moray had died. He had been struck in the head by a stalagtite and was covered in rubble when they picked him out of the cavern. Zack awoke on the way to the hospital. He was disoriented and the trauma the cave in had left a mark in his brain. It was kindled with all the noises of the ambulance and the mark spread and he was left with multi personality disorder. The sounds and voices mixed together into one thought, the words of the gods. He needed to stop feeling the pain he felt mentally and physically. With one swift move he picked up a scalpel and killed the people in the ambulance. He drove the automobile to the middle of the woods and abandoned it. He found a house near London and killed its inhabitants. He began a job in Scotland Yard but a few months later Casper Flux made his claim to fame in a murder case. When Casper and Zach had met Casper had seen through Zach right away and was about to make a public announcement about it, when Zack disappeared and shortly after killed Casper's three closest friends. These three friends Casper had met at Cambridge along with Zack. Zack had thought it hard to kill Lance, after all they were very close friends. Raz had been somewhat easier to kill but he still felt guilty. He had kept reminding himself. Of the feeling of no pain. His body was in agony and his mind in torment. If he could feel normal again. Whatever the secret held one thing was sure, it would releive his pain. After all this time the agony still lingered and he had made no further progress in his research. After killing Raz for the "second time" he had lost confidence in his search. What was worse was that Casper Flux wasn't stupid and would figure out who he was. He needed to be relieved of his unbarable pain and he would kill many more if that's what it took. He stood at the window and went silently into the night.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.

Bells and Taxes
The territory of Palmetto, ragged and mean, was once the banishing lands for the kings of the Old World. In that sea of hills they exiled their enemies, their upstarts, the deposed tyrants and rebels who came too close. Ancient prisons emptied their depths into Palmetto. Persecuted tribes fled to the refuge of its hideaway valleys. After a century and some, the land of Palmetto had evolved into a patchwork of flimsy feudalism, cult compounds, and grift economies. The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
