《How To Train Your Giant (DNF)》Ch 29 - Mending Hearts
Advertisement
The giants tried to clear the ashes as it still rained around them. Wilbur looked around the area where Colossal had fallen
"No!" he whimpered as tears streamed his eyes. "George!" he cried as he covered his face
"OVER HERE!" Sam yelled as he tried to lift Colossal's body. The other giants ran to help him as they lifted the body
Underneath was Dream as he was covered in Colossal's blood, ash, and dirt. They pulled him out as Wilbur noticed he was curled up
He found no sign of George, but at least Dream was breathing. He opened his eyes weakly as he noticed the king, crying
"I'm sorry!" he cried, "He was right! What have I done? I am the worst! Now he's dead because of me!"
Dream sighed as Wilbur felt warm air from his breath. The giant uncurled his body, revealing his hands cupped. He opened them as Wilbur gasped, "GEORGE!"
The prince was saved as Wilbur checked his heartbeat. "He's alive!" he said in relief as everyone cheered
He looked at the green eyed giant as he bowed his head, "Thank you! I owe you for saving him."
Dream just chuckled weakly, "Don't mention it." He coughed as Kristen picked up the blonde giant and flapped her wings
"I'll take him to New L'Manburg to get him healed," Kristen said as she picked up Phil to come with her
The others carried their weapons to the boats while Wilbur carried George bridal style. He took him into the boat as the giants pushed the boats back home
Wilbur covered George with a blanket as the prince coughed and woke up. Everything was kind of fuzzy as he could see the figure of his father
"Where's Dream?" George asked as Wilbur made sure he rested. "He went to get his wounds tended. He injured himself to protect you."

: Dream saved me...again?
: Yeah
: Tell him...I'll meet him...at the lake
: What lake?
: After...I'm good...to go...and no need...to know...dad
: Alright, have some rest
George woke up in a bed as he noticed he was outside. "What the hell?" he questioned as he heard someone behind speak, "It was my idea."
"Dream! You're ok!" George smiled as the giant gently nuzzled George. The prince noticed he was covered in bandages as Dream chuckled, "I healed myself, let me do yours."
Dream placed his finger on George's chest softly as he sent magic circulating around the prince's body
George felt his body becoming stronger and newer. Once done, Dream helped the brunette up as he softly pinched George's hand to help him up
"Whoa! Easy, Georgie," Dream said as George nearly stumbled. He walked and felt the need to run as he smiled, then laughed
Dream followed the brunette as George laughed and motioned for him to come close. "Come on, Dream! Don't be shy!"
: Now why would I?
: You always stutter with me
: N-No I d-d-don't!
: I proved my point
Dream sighed as he said, "You are so annoying." George hugged Dream's finger as the giant purred at the affectionate human
"Hey George," Wilbur called as his eyes widened, "How are you all better?!" George giggled, "I did mention Dream is a Healer."
"Oh! I forgot!" Wilbur laughed nervously as he cleared his throat, "I wanted to ask if you'd like to do the honors of beginning our ceremony."
: Can I have Dream next to me?
: Yes
: What ceremony?
: We're now letting giants in. We now welcome them - wild or tamed!
: No more cages?
: No more, Dream
The giant licked the king as he gagged and ran to wash himself. Both young lovers laughed as Dream sighed, "So at what time?"

George stood up and smiled, looking up at his boyfriend, "Now."
"We have battled a great war against the Colossal! We have won, with the help of our giants! We will now welcome them, but they must be approved by our Prince, the Giant Tamer!" Wilbur announced as the crowd cheered
George smiled as his mother gave him his crown, but it was updated. It had emerald stones on his golden crown
"In remembrance of Dream," she smiled as George hugged her. Dream was gifted with a crown as well, but of blue bonnets and cornflowers
"George loves the color blue, and he told me to give it to you," Karl said as Dream hugged the young giant
The crowd cheered as Dream and George turned to look at their new empire. Giants were now in their territory, without being attacked
Both smiled as Dream picked up the human prince. He kissed him on the lips as the crowd cheered louder
"Another one?" Dream said smugly as George nodded shyly, turning red like he first did when he met Dream
Both kissed as the giants clapped and the humans congratulated the young boys for their love, that went from forbidden, to peace

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
