《After the Aftermath》Deep shit
Advertisement
Rachel awoke to the sound of birds chirping. The sun was in her eyes. She sat up quickly. A look of horror spread across her face when she saw her surroundings. She was handcuffed to a car staring at the edge of a cliff where Elle and Noah sat. Their legs dangling off. Richard was standing over them, smirking. He turned and made eye contact with Rachel. He smiled a creepy wide smile.
"Good morning little one. Don't worry, you'll get your turn over here soon enough." Rachel grimaced. He was creepy in every possible way. She heard a grunt to her immediate right and whirled around, scratching her knees as she went. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lee!" She exclaimed as she threw her arms around him. He fell back as his arms wrapped around her.
"Rachel! Thank god you're okay because if you'd been hurt then I'd have to hurt Richard on my own. And I don't want to break my nose till I'm at least thirty." Rachel laughed, tears welling.
"Lee, I love you." She laughed as tears spilled from her eyes. Lee wiped them away.
"I love you too." He said calmly. Almost reassuringly. He gave her a soft kiss and then turned to wake his parents next to him. Elle twisted her body around to look at her family. She saw Lee and Rachel. She breathed a sigh of relief. At least some good came out of this. She looked to her right. Noah's face was bloodied and bruised.
"Noah." She whimpered. He nodded as he wiped blood from his nose.
"I'm okay Elle." Elle nodded.
"How the hell are we gonna get out of this one?" She breathed. Noah leaned over and kissed Elle on the forehead.

"I have no fucking clue." Elle gave him a look.
"That's not what you say after kissing your girlfriend." Noah rolled his eyes.
"Elle focus." She sighed. She thought for a moment. Richard was with his guards by the car. Her and Noah's hands were tied. So were Lee's and their family's. Richard wanted Elle to finish Noah's job. But now he knows Noah is alive. She sighed.
"I don't know anything either." Noah groaned.
"Elle come on! You're the one with all the bright ideas, you can't think of anything?"
"How the hell am I supposed to have all the ideas! We're stuck! We got no way out!" Elle turned back to look at Richard. Then she looked to Noah.
"He's got us here Noah."

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
