Dracula: World of War- Part 7

I landed in Europe three weeks later, without anyone ever finding out I was on board. While I was on the ship, I didn’t get much to eat, only a few rats and that was a last stich effort just so that I didn’t kill one of the crew. I must have looked like the walking dead because one night, just before landing, a crewman stumbled upon me while I was resting, something I had to do due to lack of nourishment, and ran away screaming, “El Diablo!” I had almost chased after him to keep him q...

Suma’s POV

“SUMA!” I jerked awake and saw Nine standing over me. “Finally, you sleep deeply, don’t you? It’s time to wake up for training.”

“Already?” I asked confused and in a bit of a haze. I stood and exited my roost, stretching my wings wide.

“Did you not sleep well then, I take it?” Nine asked.

“I had a strange dream.” I said.

“About?”

“I do not know. I did not recognize anyone in it, and it certainly ne...

“Sir… are you okay?” A store employee wondered. Suddenly, I forgot what was so funny, and who I was talking to.”

"Uh… yeah… I-I’m fine. Excuse me.” I said with my head filled with fog. I left the store, and the bread behind, then went out and sat in my car with the door open. “Suma… Suma something’s- somethings not…” I said trying to contact her, but my head was spinning, and throbbing too much for me to focus. “Suma, can you hear me?” I said and fell to th...

The Violet Reaper- Part 4

“UHG!” Alexander groaned as the wind was knocked out of him. It was dark, but upon seeing his attacker he realized who had hit him; it was the headless body of the man he had just killed. The headless man was on top of Alexander, trying to pin him, but Alexander was able to throw him off. Alexander grabbed the man’s arms, and planted his feet into the man’s stomach, then flipped him over. Alexander was in shock, caught completely off guard by what he was seeing.

“INTRUDER!” ...

The Next Best Hero- Part 3

We were guided out and led to the cafeteria to have lunch before going back to school. “It seems you do have a name, Marcel.” A voice from behind me in one of the waiting lines said. It was that old man from outside.

“You? Did… did you follow me inside?” I asked concerned.

“No, I work here.” He explained.

“Oh, right, yeah, totally.” I said awkwardly.

“Do you mind if I buy your lunch for you, Marcel? As a thank you.” The man asked.

“But, yo...

Dracula: World of War- Part 6

I woke up naked and starving in a dark room, I could still see as clear as day though. I was covered in a white sheet and had fresh cuts in a Y shape along my chest. My teeth ached as well. With my tongue, I checked them and found one of my fangs missing. I wasn’t worried about losing a tooth because I knew from the time Genghis Khan punched me in the face that it would grow back; Khan’s however did not. I got up and searched around for something to wear, but all I found was a lab coat li...

The Next Best Hero- Part 2

“H-how… are you… doing that?”

“With my hand.” He retorted. I chuckled, but wasn’t quite sure if it was from the joke or shock. The man looked about ninety years old, had short, thin, white hair, wore a tan suit, and walked with a black cane.

“Well, um… good job. Sorry I didn’t catch it fast enough.” I apologized.

“Yes, you certainly need to always be aware of your surrounding when on the job, young man.” He said and carefully put the car down.

Dracula: World of War- Part 5

I washed my hands and swept the place up, all after carefully and swiftly removing the hearts of all of my other victims just to be safe. Thankfully the had already had autopsies done, so no one would notice a missing heart or two… or five. I left the room rather startled and shaken by what had just occurred, and I couldn’t help but wonder if my venom remaining in that man’s body had somehow given him some of my supernatural abilities. I pondered this the rest of the day, and after work...

“Are you sure you don’t have cold flames? It sure sounds like you might.” Rao jokingly.

I laughed, “Yeah, I’m pretty sure. My Inversion doesn’t affect my own spells, just others.”

“Have you ever tried?” Nine asked.

“Well… actually no. No, I haven’t. It never really occurred to me.” I said surprised at my own oversight.

“You should try it during training,” Nine suggested.

“Huh, maybe I will.” I said. After talking, I asked Suma to...

HDMGF Book 2- Part 4

“I wish you all safety, luck, and most importantly… success.” The Major ended his speech, and the first of the four captains began calling out names. Suma and I were in the third squad, which was led by Captain Gigolos, and Second-Lieutenant Datahu.

Second-Lieutenant Datahu flew up to me after the Major’s speech. “Sentinel, it’s time to talk.” She said.

“Yes ma’am, how can I help you?” I asked.

“You have Chaos Magic, by Royal decree, we will be giving y...

Dracula: World of War- Part 4

I stayed the rest of the night at my home, doing laundry and allowing my wound to heal. It was fully closed by the time the sun rose with only a slight throbbing and tenderness. I went over to my mirror and checked my reflection; yes I actually have one, the myths are wrong on that too. After eating so many people lately, between the murderer today and that group yesterday, I was beginning to get a bit of color back in my skin; I was a tad surprised it took so long, normally it happens overni...

The Violet Reaper- Part 3

Alexander limped into town, sick from the heat and lack of food. He would have died again, if a kind stranger had not found him on the road, placed him into their wagon, given him food, and taken him to town. “So much for hunting and fishing,” the voice of Warden said to Alexander. He looked around, and saw the skeleton leaning on a town well. Alexander looked around, but no one seemed to take notice of the strange sight.

“No one is afraid of you?” He asked.

“They can’...

The Next Best Hero- Part 1

“They say that some men are born great, and others have greatness thrust upon them. Ten thousand years ago, there lived a man in a small, long since forgotten, village. He was just a normal man, who lived his life peacefully. His village was nothing special, but it was prosperous. The land was fertile, and so were the women; everyone led joyful lives. That was how it was for two hundred years, before the attacks. Barbarians from distant lands invaded that small village. They killed the peop...

Dracula: World of War- Part 3

I arrived back at work just before the clock struck one. Mr. Fredrick was in the back talking to someone in his office. I used my superior senses to listen in. I recognized both voices, one was Mr. Fredrick, and the other was a detective named Alister Douglas. He works for the police investigating different crimes around the city, but we only see him when he in on a murder case. I figured he, or someone like him, would be around today.

“Yes you’re exactly right detective, it was def...

The Lonely World- Part 19

Official Log of Captain Eobard Lewis of the USS Expanse

After alerting the convoy what was happening, and opening the channel to the alien ship, I resumed talking with Captain Sughis Guh. “Captain Guh, I have discussed your proposal with my crew, and we accept. We will send a modified probe to your ship that you can upload the map to. Agreed?” there was a moment of pause as the translator talked, then he replied.

“Agreed Captain Lewis, but for the safety of my crew,...

Dracula: World of War- Part 2

That was centuries ago, back when I had just changed. I spent the next five or six hundred years giving into my bloodlust as I wished. I earned many names over the years, Vlad the Impaler for instance, it was the one I had when I realized just how far I had fallen, and what kind of monster I had become. I faked my death and left the nation I had spent years crafting into a playground for myself to its’ own devices. I moved to England for a while, then to Scotland, where I had another relaps...

HDMGF Book 2- Part 3

Jake’s POV

“Hello everyone,” she announced as she landed. “I am Second-Lieutenant Datahu. You may refer to me as ma’am or Lieutenant. I trust that you have all had time to get acquainted, so I will skip introductions for now.” Lieutenant Datahu looked over at me. “You must be Sentinel. I will speak to you in a moment, but first… this.” She manipulated the golden pins so that they floated in front of each of the Neame. “Privates, these are your rank e...

The Violet Reaper- Chapter 2

“Talk to you soon partner.” The voice of Warden said. Alexander was left standing among the burned and disgraced bodies of his slain brethren. He was stunned, and for a time, didn’t move or speak, but as he understood what happened, what was happening, he knew what he needed to do first… attend to his men, and avenge them. He spent hours digging holes for the burials with his bare hands. By the time he finished digging, his hands were bloodied and stiff. When burning the bodies, the a...

HDMGF Book 2- Part 2

Jake’s POV

The main office was huge, as large at the Royal Citadel or the Grand Sanctum back in Suma’s city, Zach-Ahshem. It was shaped different, but it has similar features, like the holes that Neame would fly through, large spires, and guards surrounding it. It’s differences however, were what told the real story of this place’s purpose. It was surrounded by walls, patrolled by Neame and their familiars, on top of the spires were carvings and runes. I didn’...

HDMGF Book 2- Part 1

Jake’s POV

Two days after Suma and I had left camp, and she was on her way to meet the Drakes in the fortified city of Antonella. I laid in bed waiting to fall asleep. I thought about how the test ended, still guilt ridden over accidentally hurting those Neame. Slowly, my eyes grew heavy, and I fell into a deep sleep. I had hoped I would dream of how things were before I disappeared the day of the test, before I ever met Suma so many years ago, or even of just relaxin...

Humans Don't Make Good Familiars- Part 93

The final Chapter of book 1

Please note that the book itself will have additional content not present on patreon or reddit. Including a secret ending to the first book and an extended final chapter, and additional chapters as well. 

Suma’s POV

“Indeed, you other teammate and Sentinel have no-“ He was cut off by another crack of thunder in the distance, this time even louder. I flew up to try and get a better view, and what I saw made no sense....

Humans Don't Make Good Familiars- Part 92

Jake’s POV

“Jericho!” I said and summoned my armor. Speed is good, not getting hit in the back by a spell I didn’t see coming is better. Running to the crest wouldn’t take long, despite how far away it was. All I needed to do was not get shot in the back, or front, on the way there. The other Neame were too far away for me to see clearly, but I could see them in the rapidly closing distance. I have no idea how I’m going to fight them off long enough to-<...
