《The Nonpareil of Resh》Excerpt from Gwyn's Journal - Zenototes
Advertisement
The last of the groups on Resh is the Zenototes. The easiest way to describe this group is simply as reptilian. They have a humanoid enough appearance but look like they are wingless dragons that began to stand on two feet.
In a way, they might not be as interesting to describe. They so closely resemble the kind of lizardfolk you see in fantasy that I have trouble describing them as anything other than that.
They are covered head to toe in scales. It seems while green certainly shows up, they can have a wide variety of colors and patterns seen in reptiles on earth. I have heard that some are able to change colors in a sort of camouflage way, but it is considered more of a gimmick as clothes do not camouflage with them.
The heads are best described as draconic. Some have horns, some have fangs, and there are plenty of other features and shapes that their heads can take. Their heads also come in a variety of elongations. While all the heads have a reptilian essence, some are flatter than others. Apparently, the flatter a Zenototes face, the uglier others see them as. However, this only applies within the Zenotote society.
Their hands have three fingers with sharp claws at the end. Their feet have three clawed toes out front and one in the back, which makes their shoes look odd. Due to this, they all walk in a manner that seems odd at first.
Their eyes are how one would expect at first, being reptilian, and their teeth are sharp. They seem like they might be rather violent, but on average they are usually calm and collected. There are exceptions of course, usually referred to as the hot-blooded of their species, but the vast majority of Zenototes I have met speak in a calm and neutral manner.

Orc Lord
A young woman just starting out in life is killed tragically in a car accident. However, she soon regains consciousness as a baby in a fantasy world. But... she's an Orc?! It would be good if she could just enjoy her new life quietly, but she seems destined for war and carnage. How will she fare as a monster in a fantasy world? ________________ This story will have a total of three arcs: Arc 1, The Birth of Babylon: 571 pages (complete) Arc 2, The Baphomet War: 420 pages (complete) Arc 3, The Mad Queen of Carnage: (in progress) ________________ Ultimately, I'm writing this for enjoyment. If you enjoy it too, fantastic! Gore: Extremely infrequent, but moderately intense. Profanity: There are a few swear words here and there, as well as some more creative insults. Traumatizing Content: While I'm at it, there are some questionable morals displayed (mostly after chapter 77). So far we can check off slavery, brainwashing, war, and genocide. This story starts off very Light Novel-ish because I was reading a lot of them at the time. The writing style gradually matures as it goes. Sorry, but I don't have the stamina to go back and fix everything, even if I know it gets pretty roughshod at times. New readers, please keep in mind, I make use of "unreliable narrators" at times. My story accepts donations, but it is free to read and I've only uploaded it here. Lastly, Orc Lord is a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying ending. One of my long breaks triggered a dishonor, but I'll redeem it someday when it's actually finished. I'm the ultimate necromancer author. ;P
