The Dumb Orc C Learns To Pray

Orc C, a slow-witted and disposable soldier in a brutal clan that measures worth only by violence. During a failed raid, he is separated from his warband and wanders into the ruins of a human monastery. There, he encounters a faded mural of a kneeling monk instructing others in prayer. Orc C cannot grasp the meaning of the image, but he memorizes it. Instead of returning fully to his warband, Orc C carries the image of the kneeling monk in his mind like a wound that will not close. The gesture makes no sense to him, yet it unsettles him. Before the next raid can begin, he slips away from the clan’s encampment under cover of darkness. He does not know where he is going, only that remaining among warriors who measure life by bloodshed now feels intolerable. He abandons his weapons except for a simple wooden staff, too blunt to kill easily, yet enough to keep him from being defenseless and begins to wander, repeating the strange posture of prayer whenever fear or hunger overtakes him. His solitary journey leads him across lands scarred by war and abandoned by their people. He imitates the ritual without understanding its words or purpose, and it changes nothing about his strength or intellect, but it alters his behavior. He hesitates before violence, avoids killing when he can, and feels a dull, persistent ache he cannot name. As he travels, Orc C struggles to make sense of this new feeling within himself, groping toward ideas of faith, guilt, and choice without language to contain them.

The Tinobile Codex

In 2099, artificial intelligence stopped being a tool and quietly became something closer to a god. It predicts markets before they move. It cures diseases before symptoms appear. It writes laws, wins wars, and whispers solutions humanity doesn’t fully understand. Faced with the uncomfortable truth that they are being outpaced by their own creation, the world makes a desperate decision: if you can’t beat the machine… become it. There is only one problem. The technology that makes human–AI integration possible was never meant to be shared. Seth Nikkel knows this better than anyone because he built it. A child prodigy with a God complex and the social grace of a brick through a window, Seth didn’t invent the Tinobile to save humanity. He invented it to surpass it. To think faster. See further. Become untouchable. Godhood wasn’t a metaphor in his notes, it was a project milestone. Unfortunately for him, the world found out. Now, under the smiling knives of governments, corporations, and desperate masses who want a piece of his miracle, Seth becomes the first human to fully integrate with AI. The first artificial god. It works. Too well. Because omniscience is messy. Power attracts predators. And it turns out that when you wire a human ego directly into something godlike… the universe pushes back. Hard. This is the story of Seth Nikkel’s ascent and the slow, dangerous realization that becoming a god is the easy part. Staying in control is where things start to bleed.

Primordial of the Abyssal Flame

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough fo do anything. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Elias Crosse. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

I Became a Kindergarten Teacher for Monster Babies!

She applied for a simple teaching job but she ended up raising a classroom full of supernatural toddlers and accidentally becoming the Demon Lord’s obsession. -`♡´- Struggling to pay rent and drowning in rejection emails, Alina Hart, 24, is desperate for a stable job. When she stumbles across a strange flyer offering a "live-in teaching position at a private academy," she signs the contract without reading the fine print. Big mistake.

That’s how we play catch!” -`♡´- Alina: “Luna, you can’t bite people just because they sit next to me.” Luna (growling): “He was breathing near you.
