The Turn Of The Screw And Other Short

What Does It Mean to Be a Slayer? Is it the power to cut through monsters or the will to cut through fear? Is it the weight of the crucifix or the burden of the choices it demands? Is the mark of a Slayer found in their strength, or in the lives they leave untouched? Is it to chase a dream, or to wake others from their nightmares? Do you fight to reach a dream, or do you fight because the dream is already lost? When blood stains your blade, does it cleanse the world or taint your soul? Omari does not fight to build a name, but to ensure others do not lose theirs. He lifts his blade not for ambition, but for those too weak to lift themselves. Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to ask what you stand to gain, but what you’re willing to lose. Perhaps it is not the pursuit of power, but the realization that power exists to serve others. Omari does not fear death; he fears a life where he fails to save. For him, the crucifix is not a weapon of ambition but a promise kept to those who cannot protect themselves. What does it mean to be a Slayer? Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to live for a dream, but to die without regret. Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to seek answers, but to shoulder the questions. For Omari, it is all of the above and so much more.

Story Synopsis: (Suck at making a summary but here it is) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arial Bozzeli was an Astro-Biologist. Usually, an Astro-Biologist would go on a space expedition researching planets, plants, and lifeforms facing the dangers of the environments; however, staying in the comfort of her own planet and examining extinct alien species was the peaceful life she wanted while indulging in her curiosity about alien life. All the while she wished for this upon a shooting star, she didn't expect the star to come barreling towards her with a life-form that would cause her mayhem. Space pirates, mercenaries, evil organizations, and rich assholes came one after the other, looking to dissect what was inside of her. From then on, all kinds of danger she didn't want were drawn towards her. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, before he could even understand its power, he got transmigrated into a ruthless new world. Born to an illegitimate third son with no authority and spiritual power, Kaito went from having a bright future ahead to becoming a ‘TRASH TALENT.’ Still, even with this system he has nothing yet any power; he is a joke in the kingdom where everyone values might and magic. Things are made worse by the fact that the only way he can get back to earth is to perform incredible missions assigned to him by an unknown system. But how will he achieve that when his enemies continue to amass power and he has no capability to keep up? He will have to struggle up from the lower class not simply to survive, but to reclaim his position. He will summon dragons and Beast to ride, enemies to defeat and Kingdoms to conquer, he shall either ascend to the highest levels of power or be buried by the system that was created to guide him. Is it possible for Kaito to usurp the ‘trash’ social status that was positioned to him? Can an outcast who is rejected by society be more brilliant than the wonders of this new era? Or will this man’s dreams be thwarted even before they get off the ground? See how Kaito manages to avoid pitfalls in Astrynea which are dangerous enough that one slip will lead to the downfall. ——————————— 6:00 am (CST) 11:00 pm (WAT) 5:00 pm (EST) 11:00 pm (CET) 3:30 am (IST) ———————————

After enduring three lifetimes of hardships and bloodshed, Bai Feiyin was promised with glitters and rainbows in her fourth life by none other than her contracted beast after it ascends. But before she could even achieve her goal, everything went down the drain as she decided not to fall victim into what...? A con-artist's trap?! "What a bull!" Thrown into a backward existence, she can only grit her teeth and pull a hankerchief in rage. Since she can't directly blame the gods, Bai Feiyin swear to get back with her so-called companion beast. "Argh! Y-you treacherous snake! I knew from the start that you couldn't be trusted! I should have roasted you when I saw you dying the first time we met, not signing that sham contract and work with you to ascend!" The anger in her system didn't subside. "You sent me back to my first life? For real? Wow, wow fantastic! What perfect shit!"  She specifically told him not in this life, that despicable man! "So you want to toy with me? Then be it! I will scour the mountains and hunt you down! I don't believe that I go back in time, you, my contracted beast won't go back as well," she uttered resolutely. Face beet red, burning in rage, she stared intently at the pigeon bloodstone inside her palms with a mark of a serpent's slitted eyes. "Those two other lives filled with war and bloodshed weren't lived in vain. Since you've sent me here, I will bury you along with those greedy pigs from the Bai Main Branch who owe me and my family four lifetimes' worth of debts!" Not long after she bemoaned, "Hmm, no hold on." Revealing a bit rather conflicted look, she tried to suppress her ire upon cooking up something like a shrewd mastermind. "On the second thought, just burying Hong with that regretfully good-looking face of his would be such a pity..." she pondered, but very soon snapped with glee. "Fine, it's a wrap! I will capture that little snake and work his ass like he did to me!" Bai Feiyin, looking like a greedy hyena, found her resolved with bright twinkling eyes that casted away the shadows under her swollen eyes. "Let's sell him off to some rich aunties and get lots of dowries!" *** This will include beastmen but in the form of spirit beasts. There's a hint of cultivation but just subtle that's why I didn't add it as a tag. Please support me thank you!

"Take the heaven as one's wife, and the earth as one's concubine. Take the mundane life as one's cauldron, the grand road of the Yin and Yang, Dual Cultivation. Lock the yin of death from the heaven, suppress the yang of fate, seize the lust of the sky, give birth to the evil dao... Bind the stars as witnesses, and the moon as the judge, walk the shadowed path of the forgotten, where the rivers of innocence drain into the sea of corruption... Cultivate the forbidden arts, where the whispers of the damned guide one’s hand, and the tears of the gods become the elixir of immortality... Wed the heavens with blades of sorrow, take the earth with chains of blood. In the cauldron of mortal woes, stir the dark essence of Yin, birthing the sinister path of Yang... From the desires of the skies, grasp the forbidden lust, in the twilight’s shadow, where even gods distrust, The Evil Dao births, from the ashes of the just." ______ Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**
