《Moon Princess》103
Advertisement
As the second day of the war began, the members of the silver Moon pack were on high alert and ready for any sign of demonic activity. However, to their surprise, there was no sign of the demons around their pack. It was as if the demons had vanished into thin air, which was a relief for the pack, but also concerning as they knew the demons would not back down so easily.
For over an hour, the guards and pack members remained vigilant, scanning the perimeter for any signs of movement or disturbance. Their anticipation and anxiety grew with every passing moment, wondering when the demons would strike and how they would defend their pack from the impending attack.
Alpha and Jungkook, the pack's leaders, took charge and climbed up to the terrace to get a better view of the surrounding area. They knew that they needed to be alert and ready to act quickly, but also calm and collected in order to make the best decisions for their pack. The guards were also on high alert, positioned strategically around the pack to keep watch over every entrance and exit. They were well-trained and knew how to handle any situation that might arise, but the tension was palpable as they waited for the demons to make their move.
In the midst of all the waiting, the pack members tried to stay focused and prepared. They kept their weapons close and remained vigilant, ready to defend their pack and their loved ones at a moment's notice.
As time passed, the waiting became more and more difficult, and everyone was on edge, wondering when the demons would appear and how they would defend themselves. But for the moment, all they could do was wait, and hope that their preparation would be enough to face whatever came their way.

The demons on the other hand, inside the castle were in a dire state, experiencing an unsettling sensation of slowly vanishing. Their wings, which were always a symbol of pride and power, were now devoid of energy, slumped down their backs like a dead weight. These wings, once a part of their body, now seemed like an unbearable burden to carry. The orbs around their eyes, which used to emit a sinister black smoke, were now dimmed, indicating a lack of power and vitality.
Dante observed the demons around him, each struggling to move as if their powers had been stripped away. This feeling had begun at midnight, and since then, the demons had been gasping for air, even finding it difficult to breathe. It was a harrowing experience that only seemed to get worse as time passed.
To make matters worse, they all experienced an intense pain in their hearts, which, despite being devoid of emotions, still managed to leave them reeling. It wasn't just Dante; every demon in the vicinity was in the same predicament, which only served to increase his confusion. The pain and exhaustion eventually became too much for them to bear, and they collapsed right in front of the castle they had always relied on to protect them.
No one knows why this sudden commotion has happened, but there are some underlying factors that are connected to this situation.
The Queen lay pale-faced and lifeless on her bed, with her once-cheery lips now blue and dry. Alpha Jimin was unaware that she could die if she did not wake up or if the mark on her neck was not present on every single form she took. Meanwhile, the Queen's little sister, Sophia, was also on her death bed. Although there was a cure for her condition, it had not worked.

Clara, who had done everything in her power to cure her sister, had forgotten that her presence beside Sophia was the most important thing. The bond between the sisters was strong, and Sophia's crystal, which was the best physician, would have been enough to wake her up if Clara had been with her.
As Sophia waited for her death, the medicine in her body was the only hope that could extend her life until Clara returned. The demons, meanwhile, lay lifeless on the ground, drained of all their energy and power. The fate of everyone involved was in the hands of Mother Nature, and it remained to be seen how she would play her hand. For Clara, who always seemed to be at odds with fate, everything hung in the balance.

This Used to be About Dungeons
This Used to be About Dungeons is a comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Mostly it's about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, or haggling with the guy selling squash, or taking care of a neglected garden. It's putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, or disarm traps, but when you come out, you realize you've found the perfect magic item to give to one of the local kids that helped you out when your cat was sick. Look, the dungeons are always going to be there, and sometimes you need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates, or make a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. Your tour through the local dungeons can wait. You'll have rivalries with other groups, and find some dungeon eggs that need to be carefully incubated in case they turn out to be something valuable, and help a friend to build a fishing weir. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic, and even more to do and see. Join me, won't you?The cover image is Morning Sunlight Effect, Eragny, by Camille Pissarro.
8 374They are Smol
What if Humanity wasn't the apex predator among the stars? What if those true apex predators saw mankind and came to the same conclusion: Holy cow they're all adorable. The They are Smol series takes place in the near future after a disasterous first contact and the subesquent accidental invasion of Earth. Humanity is being uplifted for many reasons; they provide new culture and art on the galactic scene, sure. They can also look at scientific and social problems in a new light - absolutely. Mainly though, it's just to get them to do something productive with their lives and stop setting everything on fire- Humans, for their part, are oscillating between abject fear at the otherness of their new neighbors and the frustration that they keep placing things on the top shelf.
8 143Take Two!
College student majoring in botany has a fateful encounter with truck-kun while trying to get back in shape after realizing that his freshman 15 turned into the sophomore 20, and then the junior 30. After going through a very amusing(to some) hell, he gets the chance to transmigrate into a body of his own design on a magical world. Playing to his strengths, he chose the Plantkin race, and the new name of Sorrel to match. This is a slow-paced, magical, slice-of-life story with a focus on relationships. There will be sex(I'll try to keep the explicit stuff to a minimum, but it will be there), swearing, really bad jokes, and enough food to spoil your diet. There will not be a lot of action, epic quests to save the world, or anything even remotely resembling a big-bad-evil-guy(a few smaller bad guys, sure. But, no BBEG). Note: This is a re-write of my first story "Congratulations, You're Dead!". And, is much more what I wish I had written in the first place. The characters and the world are very similar, with a few key differences. The story may borrow some elements from Congrats, but should be considered as its own work. Reading Congrats first is not needed, or even reccommended, not unless you want to see some really cringey romance in the early chapters.

8 143Finding Faith [Destiel Love Story]
Dean Winchester had never been a praying man. Once, in all of his twenty-seven years of life, only once did he ever wish for celestial aid. That was back when he was sixteen. Back when he still had some sort of faith. Now, ten years later, he's faced with the consequences of his prayer.
