《Eternal Requiem》Dirge of Fear
Advertisement
Just like the rest of the world the Caribbean has it’s own nature preserve islands
This one in particular, Contigo, the main source of agricultural growth and sustenance in the Caribbean, is under the strict control of Madvillainy
…
Grrrtrrrrrrrrrrrtrrrrrt!
Splat!
The thick forest of trees and bushes now drizzled with blood
“Hmph!” Apollo grunts in dissatisfaction as he is the only one here knocking out rather than kill the opposition,
“I thought I would feel a lot happier being in nature against
But this is,
This is not what I had in mind”
“Cry about it later!” Lyra swoops down from above,
Two has passed since our fighting on Contigo began one of the larger and more dense islands traversing it on foot was the only option
Grttt!
Shots firing can be heard off in the distance
The remnants that follow Lyra clear quickly round up Brandon’s lackeys
(It is quite refreshing to be surrounded by nature again, even if surrounded by death)
There is a single building located in the north central region of Contigo…
“We are nearing the Merde plains where the factory is, be on guard there are no trees to cover us” warns Lyra
The Contigo factory is where all food produce is processed and packaged after harvested, it may seem like mug but the ones who controls this island and factory essentially controls seventy nine percent of all food in the Caribbean, many people not sided with Madvillainy have died of hunger already…
“These people fight with fear,” I comment as we step out of the thick forest and then knee deep into a river that separates the forest plains across
“Are you sacred Kage?” Lyra who isn’t airborne now due to open fields ahead, chides
“This whole time you have been sticking close to Apollo, barely doing anything”

“I have no arrows, firstly and what I can do besides that requires time, which I won’t have in the middle of a gun fight,”
(Plus I haven’t actually tested this out yet)
….
…..
“Apollo can you run ahead of us, your sword can cover us from bullets,” Himari hisses
The silhouette of the factory coming into view
Croup-croup-croup
The grass crunches below our feet echoing in the silent night
“Remember we have take the factory back not destroy it” Lyra informs
“I’ll handle this one then” I suggest
…..
“You have something up your sleeve?” Apollo unable to hide the curiosity in voice,
(Yes)
“You will see” I answer vaguely
….
“God this is why I hate this ring” Lyra whispers in disgust,
We near the factory compound built disgustingly intrusive into field, large iron gates serve as guards against the vines desperately trying retake their territory,
The area around the factory is also littered with plastics, old crates and machine parts
“No respect for nature” Apollo grunts, looking up at the black smoke arising from within the factory
..!!
A light flashes overhead, we immediately press down against grass
(It was wise of Himari to advise only us four to take this on,
If we came with the rest of remnants we would already be spotted)
“You better speak up on what your planning to do now pirate,” Himari demands
“Because I am already formulating ways to cause the least damage possible to this facility”
“Fear,”
“Excuse?”
“These people fight with fear,
I’ve been observing it for a while now,
They aren’t afraid of us killing them,
They fear bringing shame or upsetting their leader,
I wonder how terrifying Brandon really is?”
“What does it that have to do with anything Kage?”

(Three armed outside, the rest are probably inside)
“I don’t know, I just thought I’d share what I observed”
(Fear is their most dominant feeling, I can use that)
“hhhhh” Taking a deep breath I form in my hand not the bow but a bass guitar, standing up facing the factory
Ever since meeting Lyra again, I’ve been able to feel others emotion
It really made me realize that emotions not only have a feeling
They have a sound too
(Or maybe I’m just crazy) Bwongg!
I strum once, the sound reverberates thorough the fields loudly, immediately alerting the men
Bwangg!
On my second strum the vibration begins to tremor within myself,
Lyra, Apollo and Hiamri watch curious as to what exactly I am going to do…
….
Bwengg!
….!!
The third strum finally allows the men to pinpoint out location
Apollo grips his sword getting ready to shield us from incoming bullets
(Dirge of Fear)
Bummm!
Bumnn!
Buming!
“AGHHHHHH!!
YAHHHHHHHHH!
EEIYUUUHHHHH!
(That’s what I’ll call this)
Bloodcurdling screams begin to bellow out
BASH!
CRASH!
SHATTER!!
The sounds of bodies slumping to the floor and throwing themselves soon follow
The three behind watch in confused awe
“MERCY-MERCY-MERCYYY!!”
As the voices scream and plead helplessly, I continue to strum away
…….
Aiyyee!
The painfully last painful scream goes off
…..
The night becomes silent once more.
…..
…..
…..
A gruesome sight.
We make our way into the compound passing many foamy mouthed corpses
Their eyes frozen in perpetual fear
Some had shot themselves, some jumped though windows,
But one thing was for certain,
They were all dead
Walking silently, I look at my work
My actions
(This is what I caused)
Done by hands
A loud buzzing grates into my ear,
(I’m used to it now)
All that matters now is the destruction in front of me
(I don’t feel guilt by it)
“…..”
Himari might be speaking right now but I don’t hear her over the buzzing,
“Dirge of Fear,” I mutter out loud
“They died from their own extreme fear, their strongest emotion currently.”
(This is what I call art.)

Raak
James was in his 30's when his death came suddenly, not that he minded much, as life was seeming to drag on. His story, however, did not end with his death. As a point of fact, it had only just begun. This will be my first work, so please by all means comment with any errors I may have made. Suggestions for the story (which may or may not be used). This is a litrpg and a bit of a power fantasy, so be warned the protagonist will be pretty OP eventually.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Most of those reviews came after my novel went on trending and some wannabe critics who have never written anything in their lives decided it's not trending worthy. If you want to judge then read reviews given at later chapters or better read 15 to 20 chapters yourself. Thanks! :)

Saga of Steel and Bone (Ashes & Phoenix)
Can a King rise from the ashes of a broken soul? As a half-breed abomination blamed for the death of his brother, Roland's father disowned him and his pack rejected him. Without a home, only the vilest of overlords accepted him as a slave. His past defined him, his present seemed futile, and his future seemed hopeless. Until he escaped the assassin overlords and came to meet a small family who adopted him as their own. They forced him to look past what he’d come to expect in Humans; forced him to face what he’d become. They showed him a glimpse of happiness for the first time in his life. But tragedy is never far from one running from the past. The Empire steals his first glimpse of peace, putting him on a collision course of past, present, and future that will take him to a small town needing a hero and vast mountains hiding deadly secrets and fire-breathing creatures. It's a race against time to rescue those he loves... before they, too, become more cold bodies laid at the feet of the Emperor. His path will take him on the journey of hero and villain, the lines blurred between right and wrong, his hands stained red with the blood of both the guilty and the innocent. But Roland knows one thing. Those who took his family will pay. He’s coming for them, and Avidon will never be the same. Ashes is clean werewolf fiction with redemptive and psychological elements.

This tale contains elements of faith, family, and fighting for hope in hopeless situations. There is war: so violence, blood, and gore are common, as are vague references to torture and rape. Dive into Avidon and her sister worlds today for heart-pounding adventure, laughter, and baby dragons. Enjoy! Want to know what's happening on Beulah, Second of the Four Worlds? Hop over to The Guardian and explore a world of magic and mayhem where one girl and her pony-sized wolf roam the streets looking for people they can devour. Or the wolf does. Aria is merely trying to find her place in a world while avoiding pesky princes and royals.

Life is Wilde
There is a world where fiction meets reality. A world where human logic may prevail. Where human logic is the main thing that binds humanity. A world where Humanity is lesser to The World.Synopsis (For Chapters after Authors Note):Oscar is a child alike most others. He loves his mother, doesn't know his dad, and lives in a dome. Only, his greatest dream is to explore the vast wildes that plague the world. The problem is, the wildes house strange creatures mutated by radiation and a mysterious energy called "The Essence". How will Oscar ever survive in this chaotic world? Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
