《How I Became A Jarl》All-seeing Eye pt. 2

He slowly shook his head. I took my hand away and watched him with dead eyes to scare him even more. If he thinks that I’m serious he won’t do anything stupid.
[ Eric ]
“Why are you following us?”
[ Man ]
“The Captain told me to…”
[ Eric ]
“Which Captain?”
[ Man ]
“Captain Meka… He threatened me…”
[ Dian ]
“That dirty bastard…”
[ Eric ]
“Shut up. What were you supposed to do?”
[ Man ]
“Track you…”
[ Eric ]
“But why? To find out hideout?”
[ Man ]
“I asked him why. But he told me the less I know the better.”
When I checked the view from a bird’s eye, I saw no guards. No one at the gate, walls, and port. Most of them were by the barracks and some showed themselves by us. We were surrounded. They blocked both ways from the alley. They were hiding in the buildings so there was no way for me to spot them. Dian wanted to activate his spell but before he could kneel and say the words to activate it he was shot in the foot.
[ Guard 1 ]
“No tricks more tricks you son of a bitch. Unless you want another arrow in your foot. Captain wants that kid but who is the ginger head?”
[ Guard 2 ]
“That’s the guy I told you about. If you don’t mind… We’d like to punish him ourselves.” Said the man that I recognized. It was the same guy that I punched in the face in the tavern.
Archers were aiming at us so I couldn’t do anything but surrender. There was no hero to save me now. I dropped my knife and got my hands up. The guard approached me from behind and pressed me to the ground. Not only they tied us up but also put some bags on our heads so we wouldn’t see anything. What they didn’t know is that I could see everything. I took a close look at every guy that pushed me from time to time. You’re now on my blacklist...

We were taken to a shipyard near the port. It looked like their hideout. Empty beer barrels all around the place. Few tables where they played some games and of course a lot of thugs that probably work as guards of this Meka guy. They threw us into some building and there were no birds inside it so I lost my vision. We were tied to some pillar.
[ Dian ]
“You’ll pay for that! Just wait! If Captain Turiel gets to know about it! It’s the end for you!”
[ Thug ]
“You mean that sorry-ass captain? Oh sorry, ex-captain. Am I right Turiel? Hahaha!” He said as he left with laughter.
[ Dian ]
“Wait! What do you mean?!”
[ Eric ]
“Exactly as he said. Am I right? Captain?”
[ Turiel ]
“You’re correct…” Bearly said Turiel.
[ Dian ]
“But how? How did that happen?”
[ Turiel ]
“Well… I’m not strong, to begin with. I might handle two guys at the time but it’s not an easy task for me. My brother thought that now is the time to rebel against me. I was blind at the beginning but once I noticed the truth behind his lies it was too late.”
[ Eric ]
“We also could react faster… At least now I have a full view of the town. There are only two guards standing by this building. Mind telling me where your brother is?”
[ Turiel ]
“I think he is in the main office. How do you know that there are two guards outside?”
[ Eric ]
“Let’s say that I have special eyes. Many of them at that.”
[ Dian ]
“Do you have any ideas on how to escape?”
[ Eric ]
“No idea. Just try to wiggle your arms or something.”
[ Turiel ]
“Why did they take you here?”
[ Eric ]
“Well… Dian fucked up their illegal trade and beaten up a few guards that serve Meka. By the way… They deserved that beating. Oh. Speaking of the devil… They are coming to us.”

8 195Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Alec woke up in a strange place, a place that was not his room, a body that was not his own.

Follow the journey of Alec, in a strange world where he seeks his own existence. It's my first attempt writing a fiction, I got inspired by many writers on RR and finally decided to write my own. I'd accept any suggestions or criticism. Did I mention that there will be basic physics and chemistry?

Femalekind Book One: Created by Prometheus, exiled by Zeus to placate Aphrodite her new soul is scarred as an apology to Prometheus' tormentor Aetos the Caucasian Eagle, spawn of Echidna.

This book concentrates on further developing several threads from Book Two in the form of multiple POVs, with Aphrodite more as a significant influence instead of the MC.
