Good Morning Everyone,
I like these polls, so lets see how this one works. I found a possible new cover for ALEXiThymiA, for Royal Road Currently, but I wanted to get your opinions on it.
So please vote below about whether this should be a new cover for ALEXiThymiA.

Times Of Treachery
“WAIT!” The normally calm and stoic Alexa shouted, trying to get everyone’s attention, but it was already too late.
Warder, who couldn’t help but open the easily slidable box lid up, already had his lid up and over the lip of the box. Then at the speed of thought, multiple things happened all at once.
First, there was an initial explosion, as the brilliant box within Warder’s hands came to life with a surge of violent and compet...

May You Die A Thousand Deaths
Two hours. That was how long Alexa had to stand with the TSI agents, her parents, and most importantly the reporters. This was huge, not just for American supers, as the one British support super that had also been asked to join the team had died early on, their death recorded in graphic display for all to see. In one act of heroism, or severe stupidity, the British Super Titan charged forward to fight the dragon head on. There of course w...

When You Know You’ve Been Conned
Rage, the slow simmering rage of how you realize you are the ultimate pawn of something greater. All the clues were there, and only now that I am finally removed from the situation does it all really begin to make sense.
Now that I have a patient, and an operating table, I’ve taken a few moments to realize what happened. I was punished for doing well, I had just achieved so much, and mentally I was so used to having everything ...

Sometimes You Just Can’t Win
Despite all my advantages, despite all my scheming, sometimes luck is just a harsh mistress. What I am referring to is the fact that sometimes your hands are just plain bad, that or they are good, but just not good enough. When you get down to the final two players, odds are roughly even that either player’s hand will win. After a certain point not even skills, nor knowing your opponent’s hands will save you.
I was at the final t...

Swords Before Nine
“Great job by the way, ho…Aru’ka.” Judge began, nearly giving away her close familial relationship with Alexa, by her near inadvertent use of the word honey, fortunately she caught herself in time. Still the drones that were hovering around, recording everything likely caught the flub, something she would just have to deal with. “But, why did you go to such extremes with the corpse of the dragon? Blowing up the decapitated skull and the hea...

Cheating and Other Life Hacks
Yes, I was in a Swap’em Holdem tournament, I had no way of knowing what cards I had as my external skills were cut off from me. Similarly, my own personal magic and level derived attributes were also denied to me. Worse, it was implied that this would be standard practice for all card playing tournaments. So, I of course was left with but one option, to cheat.
Or not so much cheat, as find a way to bypass the restrictive nature of t...

Tournament Sign In
It is amazing how a quick power nap and chance to do what you love can change the entire course of your day. Up until a few hours ago I had been dead exhausted, nearly inconsolable, fortunately I didn’t have too many patients. That and the patients that I had were just people that had to be cured of the toxicity in their blood streams.
Their purging was a lot easier to handle than curing the Blight and sadly, I got just as much ...

The Nightmare
Saturday (Three Hours Earlier)
Alexa charged forward, just seeing the dragon caused a surge of energy to course through her body as she felt her numerous titles coming to life. All of them, at least all of the ones that were now becoming active, dealt with the killing and eradication of dragons. Feeling the surge of energy, Alexa once again created three Illusionary Replicas of herself, each one was created with the intent to ultima...

The Arrival
Saturday (Four Hours Earlier)
Like a beacon, Alexa could feel a deep seeded connection to a point off in the distance, a point that forever bound her fate to that of a distant creature. In her mind she somehow instinctively knew that there was a tie, a deep seeded karmic link that bound her to a spot off in the distance.
Only after a few minutes of evaluating the bond did she realize it was the karmic bond that binds all twins, the bond that all...

The Class Choice, The Proposal, and The Tournament
You may now choose one of the following to gain for your class advancement: A new Spell, A new Skill, a New Class Perk, or a New Class Specific Trait.
The choices were all there staring me in the face, but logically only one made sense. It was the option that had been denied to me all this time. If I needed a new spell I would just create one, a new skill, well that was something that I had already done t...

The Death and Rebirth of Mr. Charles Ashcroft
Now I will never say that my life is in any way shape or form normal, I mean I live in a ghost town, situated on the second floor of the ghost tower of what is the remains of Arcanarus University. By all accounts I should be accustomed to strangeness, and by most accounts I am. Given my sight, I am not distracted by the apparent translucent images that the majority of the citizens of the town of Crossroads have. To ...

The beast had moved, scattering to the wind, trying desperately to salvage the plan, its purpose for being here. Lashintax tried desperately to clean up the mess that she had now been set to deal with. With only one, her goal of providing a stationary point of power in a open portal were severely compromised. Now she had to sacrifice more of herself. Her body now needed to become the gateway that she was to create.
Focusing on the goal, she began sacrificing her blood o...

Gina Rojas
It had been a little over thirty hours since Gina last saw Alexa. Thirty hours of near panic. There was the call that had somehow gone live, the one where Alexa appeared before the dungeon, only to then have her call get recorded for training purposes. Hearing the sounds of that call that were made public, Gina concluded with 86% accuracy that the watch phone in question had been thrown before it was subsequently destroyed. While she was 86...

Bloodlines
I felt bloated, yet somehow, I also felt like I was being forcefully scrubbed from every inch within my body. A few times, I had to stop drinking long enough to force my stomach to settle, then after a few minutes I would be able to consume a new set of potions. Once I hit the 100 mark for consuming Strange Elixir of Bloodline Cleansing, I was met with an indication that I could turn in my quest at that time. I of course still had quite a few boxes o...

A Seclusive Celebrity

It has been one week, and Lenny and I still have not spoken. No, I have not gone against my contract with him, my contract clearly stated that I was to be an informant to him. He did come to the Mage’s Guild almost immediately but I was in the middle of healing Mallory at that time, so Zero had sent him away.

From a personal goal perspective, I was doing quite well. Four days of constant consumption of Strange Elixir of Bloodline Cleansingvials meant ...

The Phantasmal Hunter
Do things hurt just because we believe they should? Do we inherently wince in pain when someone runs into us out of reflex, or anticipation? Often times the wince of pain comes from people far faster than the brain can detect if there is any pain involved. These thoughts and more surged through Alexa’s mind as she tried to grasp her newest school of magic Illusion magic. The concepts of this school of magic were simple, and yet ...

Police States And A Treatment
As it turns out, I am probably worse than big brother, when I want to be. As it turns out, Lenny true to his word took all my details and rewarded me for them all. At first he sent runners and spies to check out the first few. Then he sent more unscrupulous people to investigate the potential blackmail components. Finally, after 13 additional information dumps, I finally got the message I had so desperately been wanting.

Choices of The Hunter
Thump.
The lifeless body of the dead hunter fell to the ground. The glowing light blue shine of Illusion magic having long since drained away from the corpse, and into her. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something that Alexa could feel happening. With each breath, and pulse of the hunter’s heart, her energy waned and faded away, drifting slowly into Alexa.
Having been there, so close to her target, she neve...

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. The hairs on the back of Delantha Dragon Slayer’s neck were rising, warning of imminent danger. This was a feeling she had long ago learned to listen to, as these were the same sensations that let her know when another hunter had joined the hunt. These were instincts that had kept her alive from the ambushes of feral hounds, ghost wargs, and numerous other beasts that she had encountered during her ...

Whether by design, or out of lack of understanding of what they were doing did to the magical environment around them, the elves were surprisingly easy to track. Traces of illusion magic lined the underground tunnels. Upon seeing the faint blue traces of Illusion magic, Alexa realized quite a few things. First, the elves that she had come here to join were not only aware of the condition these humans were being subjected to, but sec...
