《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 207: The Legacy of a Cursed Name
Advertisement
Kasumi and Alejandro went to check on their rooms. Everything looked normal, except for the fact that the room was destroyed…Kasumi also contacted Allan Carter and informed him about the situation…After that, she and Alejandro headed towards the Conference Room…
“So what did Mr. Carter say?” Alejandro asks Kasumi as they go down the elevator. Kasumi sighs; “He said that we should work together with the members of the church…they have authority here after all…”
“I see…well I guess we have no choice…”
“Mmmhhpphh…but I don’t like them, specially that girl…” Kasumi puffs her cheeks feeling anger. She looks at her boobs; “Hey Alejandro, are my boobs that big?”
“WWHHHAATTTT???” Alejandro panics and sees Kasumi touching her breasts. -BBBOOIINNGG- Alejandro immediately looks away.
(GULP)
“Well, answer me…that girl said that my boobs were enormous…”
“Uuhhmmm…senpai, I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask me that…” Alejandro avoids eye contact. Kasumi gets in front of him; “But you’re a guy and trust you…please answer me…”
“S-S-Senpai…” Alejandro looks at Kasumi’s puppy eyes; “Damn…she’s so cute…calm down Alejandro, remember that you have Valerie…”
(DDDIINNNG)
The elevator opens, Alejandro runs out; “Thank goodness…I was going crazy…” Alejandro runs to the lobby. Suddenly, someone calls him; “Alejandro…”
Alejandro looks at the door and sees Dr. Ortiz, with some hotel employees, notices Alejandro and runs towards him. Alejandro opens his eyes wider and immediately tries to help him; “Dr. Ortiz…what happened to you? Where were you?”
Dr. Oscar Ortiz (Age 58) has white hair, white skin and brown eyes, and wears glasses. He is also the husband of Dr. Escobar.
“Alejandro, it’s terrible…my wife was kidnapped…and the students…” Dr. Ortiz is in a state of shock. Alejandro helps him sit on the couch in the lobby. Kasumi catches up to him; “Alejandro what’s wrong?”
“I found Dr. Ortiz at the doors…he was in a state of panic…”
“Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Ortiz, are you alright?” Kasumi touches Dr. Ortiz’ shoulder. Dr. Ortiz looks at Kasumi and tries to attack her; “YOU, BECAUSE OF YOU! MY WIFE WAS…”

Kasumi grabs his arm and slams him in the ground.-BBBOOOMMM- “That’s enough…” Kasumi holds his arm. Dr Ortiz comes to his senses; “Where am I?”
“It appears that you regain your senses…sorry for being this rough Doctor…”
“No, it’s okay…I was really panicked…I just witnessed Quetzalcoatl…and saw ''him ``”...”
“Who did you see?” Alejandro asks as he helps his teacher stand up. Dr. Ortiz looks at Alejandro; “Please take me to Uriel…I need to speak to him…”
***************************************************************************
Outside the Hotel…Giovanni and Sister Veronica talked to the Golden Maiden awaiting orders…
“That is our report Sister Magdalena…” Sister Veronica comments through the phone. The phone has the speaker on giving the opportunity for Giovanni to hear.
“We have a tight situation at our hands…we have Yggdrasil and the Mages Association involved now…we have kidnapped civilians and agents…”
“Yes Sister”
“You are to return immediately…”
Sister Veronica looks at Giovanni surprised; “But why sister? I mean we are in position to help and…”
“Sister Veronica, you are in a situation that puts your life at risk…the two Deities can easily kill you…I am worried, once you return I will deploy more agents and your sisters will…”
“Sister Magdalena wait…we don’t have time…”
Sister Veronica feels anxious and weak, Giovanni takes a step forward and grabs her phone:
“Hello, Sister, this Giovanni…”
“Ahh yes, you’re from the Order of the Holy Cross…It’s a pleasure…”
“I am going to be brief, we need to move tonight because of what our stakes are…I give you my word that I will protect Sister Veronica with my life…our mission is to rescue the civilians right? We will not fight any Gods…I swear to you…”
After a few minutes of silence, Sister Magdalena asks; “Is there anything else that you would like to report?”
“There is something else and that is…” Giovanni interrupts Veronica , shaking his head. “Sister, what else happened?”
Giovanni looks at Veronica, Veronica sighs and replies; “Nothing else to report…”

“Very well…as for now, you will cooperate with Yggdrasil and the Mages Association…we must rescue the civilians…”
-TCH- “Yes ma’am…” Both of them respond at the same time. Sister Veronica finishes the call and looks at Giovanni; “Why didn’t you let me tell her about El Charro and Felicitas? They are criminals that must be apprehended immediately…”
Giovanni closes his eyes and scratches his head; “Look little bambina (girl), right now we don’t have the power or the people to do something so stupid as to declare war against those two…you saw how powerful he is to the point that he reflected his attack with ease…”
Sister Veronica avoids looking at him; “Well, it’s just, I didn’t use my full power…that’s all…”
Giovanni chuckles; “Bambina…it’s time that you learn about the real world, you have been under the care of the bella donna (Beautiful woman) that you don’t know that those people have a lot of connections…”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it, that giovanotto (Young man) may be the lover of Kasumi, or he could be the lover of one of the members of the Mages Associations…you don’t know that…now let’s say that you go and fight him…you will be killed instantly and cause a great war…”
Sister Veronica remains speechless, she lowers her head; “I understand…”
Giovanni takes a few step; “Let’s head back, we don’t have time to waste here…”
“Hey…Giovanni?”
“Yes Bambina?”
“Why are you helping me?”
Giovanni lights a cigarette; “Because…you remind me of my daughter…”
“Your daughter? You have a daughter?”
“I had…she was murdered 8 years ago…but, if she were alive, she would be around your age…”
Giovanni continues to walk. Sister Veronica rushes to his side; “Thank you…for supporting me…”
Giovanni only chuckles as both of them head to the Conference Room…
***************************************************************************
At the conference room, Uriel received a shocking surprise as someone from his past appeared in front of them…
“W–W-What are you doing here?” Uriel asks with a trembling voice. Marjorie and Ana look at a girl sitting at the end of the table, the girl eats a bag of chips looking at her cellphone.
(BBBAAADDUUMMMPPP)
Suddenly, both of them feel an enormous amount of mana coming from her. The pressure makes Ana fall into her knees; “What is this power…this girl, her mana is immense…”
“Sheesh…these chips are not good enough…I will have to fire that damn butler…” The girl stands up and walks towards them. Uriel once again asks; “What are you doing here, Alexa?”
“I came here to speak to you…Uriel…” Alexa replies with a face filled with disgusts.
Alexa de la Trinidad (Age 15), is the adopted child of Juan de la Trinidad. She has light brown skin similar to Uriel. She has a slim body and a normal height. She has hazel colored hair with a ponytail in which she holds a red ribbon and short bangs that are on her left side of the face.
“U-U-Uriel, who is this girl?” Marjorie asks with a shaky voice, Uriel looks at her and replies; “Her name is Alexa, she is my successor’s daughter…you could say that she is my cousin…”
Alexa formally presents herself; “It’s a pleasure, I am Alexa de la Trinidad, it’s quite an honor to be in the presence of members of M.A.G.I.C…sorry but I will have to speak with my cousin outside…if you excuse us…”
Alexa opens the door and goes outside. Uriel follows her, Marjorie grabs his arm; “Uriel…”
“I’ll be fine…don’t worry, I will be right back…”

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Alma's Dreams are Default
Alma’s life has always been filled with insanity. That tends to happen when you’re living in a religious country where the citizens all worship a terrifying goddess of madness. More so when your sister is a priestess of said goddess. So, what does a girl do to keep herself grounded? Why, join the military of course! A little patriotic spirit to keep the otherworldly apparitions that only she can see from driving her mad. Or that was the plan, anyway. At least it's safe to say the repercussions of living near so much insanity isn't what drives her to then join an eldritch creature in the form of a young girl and her dark elf companion on a quest to save the world. Especially when they might hold the answers to the phantoms that have been haunting her for her entire life. A craft of love. Chapters might range from 1k-2k words. Updates Sundays.
