《Giant Love》Chapter 1 - Walk in the City
Advertisement
I want them to know! I want friends. Why do they fear me?
I'm friendly
His thoughts crowded his mind. He stood up and saw the size of the forest. The tallest tree was up to his ankle. He sighed and walked to his home
His house is a cave. Away from the city, farms, and the people. He took off his hoodie as he showered in a waterfall. It was the only giant size shower he had
He got out and wore a white short sleeve shirt and black sweatpants. He sighed and shrank to human height. He was 6'3, he's tall, but average for human
He got out of the cave and walked into the city. Girls looked at him and giggled. He felt weird and walked faster
He wasn't used to being human size and being near all these people. They fear him when he is a giant and people would run away
The man sighed as he entered inside a cafe. A waitress saw him and giggled, "Hi! My name's Liz and I will be helping you with your order! What may I offer you, sir?"
The man looked at the screens and saw every type of food. His stomach growled loudly and he clutched it as he felt pain. "Oh my God! You haven't eaten? For how long?" Liz asked as she decided to make him every pastry on the cafe
The order came out and the man ate it quickly. Liz watched the man as he wiped his mouth with a napkin. "What is your name?" Liz asked. The guy looked at her in the eyes, "My name is Dream." "What an odd name!" Liz said as she watched the man eat the pastries
: You haven't been eating?
: I don't have money

: For a guy like you, I didn't expect for you to be poor
: I have a house
: May I see?
: No
His answer sounded a bit rude. Liz frowned and walked back inside. Dream finished eating and walked deeper into the city. He is 20 years old. He wanted to meet someone. Liz was good, but not the way he wanted
Dream walked into the city as he watched people walk, talk, drink, laugh, and some watching TV looking at sports. The man enjoyed it. He watched from outside until he felt a tap on his shoulder
Dream looked to see a man with a blue outfit and a black belt with so many utilities. "What are you doing here?" Dream nervously answered, "I was watching the TV." "Sorry, but we can't have people like you snooping around. You look suspicious."
Dream left as the officer watched him leave. He went back to his duty and Dream sighed. He had no money, no friend, and every thing was horrible. He wanted someone. His parents died from humans. They killed them and Dream was left running. He got the human ability from his mother, who was human
She was killed for falling in love with a giant, Dream's father. He protected his mother, but was killed with a giant harpoon gun. It stabbed through his father's heart as he fell limp, making the ground rumble a little
Dream swore to kill the humans, but after learning that most are innocent, he decided to hide in his makeshift cave house
Dream went back to the forest. He grew to his giant 'normal' size and went to sleep. He wanted to find a way to make friends. He wished he could spill his secret, but how?
He had a crazy idea. Maybe catch one human and take it hostage! Dream pondered as he stood up from his bed. He could take a guy, or a girl, but both would scream their heads off

He needed to be trusted. He decided to go to college. A school for students like him. He is young and at the age to apply. He shrank back to 6'3 and found the college
Man! Being small and running towards it is tiring, Dream thought as he saw the college. It was night, yet he could see lights from the dorms. A principal noticed the tall young man and walked out to greet him, "Hello! May I help you with something?"
Dream gulped and answered, "I want to apply to this college." The principal smiled, "Well, you can! My name's Mrs. Fox! Here at Gator College we welcome any students! Poor to rich!"
Dream smiled as she got to work
: What is your name?
: Dream
: Odd name, but ok. Where is your residency located?
: In the city
: Ok, and finally, when was the last time you went to school?
: I never went. My parents died when I was little
The principal felt sadness. She looked at Dream and said, "Well, here's your ID and these are your keys to your dorm! You will meet your roommate on Monday morning! Have a good night!"
Dream took his ID and his keys. He became giant and ran as quickly as possible. The items were super tiny to him. He placed them on the floor to get them when he shrinks
He slept and hoped to make friends on his first day

8 129No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going.

8 183The Gatherer
These are dark times. Hope fades. All live in fear. My fear, my pain began on my eleventh birthday, when the gifts of my heritage revealed themselves. The day I was cast out of my home and family, for being different. For I am a Gatherer. There are other names for people of my profession, Soul Catcher, Reaper, none of them accurate. In my twenty-five years I have seen many horrors. I have seen other Gatherers cut down as they worked, people tortured and mutilated to strengthen the life force released. I have seen the aftermath of a troll attack, on humans and Eldritch alike. In death we are all equal. I fear my end and yet I welcome it as a release from my responsibilities. But I will not waver; I will strive to the last for I, Ryshel Huntress, am a Gatherer. And I know nothing else.
