The Elves Leave Middle Earth

Elves Are Sleeping Beauties

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

Kaelen the mercenary god in the Middle East

In the heart of a war-torn Middle East, Kaelen is an enigma. At just four years old, his child's body hides the mind and soul of Alistair Thorne, a legendary and ruthless 19th-century elite supersoldier, reborn after a fatal mission. Waking in a modern world not his own, Kaelen finds himself in an impoverished village where survival is the only law. Far from being a helpless child, Kaelen possesses an innate ability for violence and tactical dominance. His rebirth activates the "God-Level Mercenary System," an advanced interface that not only grants him experience and lethal rewards for each eliminated enemy (from ammunition to medicine and combat analysis) but also unlocks knowledge branches like Military Engineering and Combat Medicine. This system allows him to not just recall and perfect his past skills but also pushes him to surpass his previous limits, learning new mechanics to analyze weapons, hone his physique, and master the art of modern warfare. When a band of marauders attacks his humble village, Kaelen's brutal efficiency is unleashed. Despite the limitations of his small body and the exhausting fight, he uses the terrain, rudimentary weapons, and his lethal special forces martial arts to decimate the bandits, proving that a child can be the nightmare of any hostile force. His act of protection earns him the respect and fear of the villagers. However, Kaelen is no conventional savior. As a relentless leader with a clear objective, he warns them that his stay is temporary. With the cold authority of a commander, he forces both children and adults to undergo brutal training, forging them into a legion of survivors. His goal is clear: to transcend his past, dominate the underworld of shadows and arms trafficking, and become the ultimate Mercenary God, capable of raising villages, commanding armies, and overthrowing governments, all while searching for the proper place for his growing power.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna.
