Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!... more>>

Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice.

It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more.

You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need.

Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters?

Please Note: I publish daily.
Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4342/swamp-boy). The old story (on another site) is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it. <<less

Within a desolate realm, where discarded worlds were stitched together, a rupture tore open, releasing a small child into the fragmented expanse.... more>>

Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake.

Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. A haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

--- Author's notes:

- This work of mine has been sitting in my drawer for far too long. I already tried publishing it, but it failed miserably. Now, no matter what, I decided to see it through. If you read the previous versions when they were still available, you will find it familiar yet different, as I decided to change it!
- There is no concrete release schedule; I will work on it when my mood allows me to, probably publishing one or two chapters of different lengths a week.
- Although it is tagged as horror, it has humorous elements and action, including fighting against demons.
- The setting is a modern-day alternate universe.
- All the warning labels and tags are there for a reason; please check them before complaining! <<less

In a world where death no longer holds sway, one man wields the power to bring it back.

Rigor Mortis is a Death Knight, an anomaly in a land plagued by immortality. His black armor and monstrous axe carve through the unyielding, bringing final rest to those cursed to linger.

When Rigor crosses paths with Alazandrae, a woman desperate to free her enslaved mother, their uneasy alliance plunges them into the heart of chaos.

As bullets fly and blood spills in the shadow of Giantown’s colossal effigy, Rigor must confront his place in this fractured world. Will he embrace his role as death’s harbinger, or will he find another path amid the carnage?

Part Grimdark fantasy, part gritty western, this is a tale of vengeance, redemption, and the heavy burden of wielding power in a land where death is both feared and coveted. If interested, please donate to my to get 5 chapters ahead! <<less
