“Volume 1: Strange Beginnings” Chapter 1-46

“What does a depressed student, investigator, a wanted witch, refugee, priest, and a man from another world have in common… nothing actually. Just that where they started was a little special, but where they are all headed is somewhere truly strange. For eventually they will cross paths with each other both directly and indirectly. In the meantime, there's a whole bunch of strange deaths and murders going on in the city of Graheel.”

"Volume 2: A Gathering Of The Fateless” Chapter 47-?

There might have been more involved in that matter that is still brewing, drawing both Alan and Cid back in as well as a certain investigator. The priest Crowley will have to make a tough choice that will test his convictions and involve him in things he never thought he be doing as a priest. All while Joe is still far from solving who murdered Rob, and is about to make a desperate move to get the information he needs.

"And finally John discovers his reason for him being transported to this world, or maybe not. Trying to get a simple-to-understand answer from an eldritch being is not so easy. "

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less

And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on. ... more>>

The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

Yet, underneath this “Gemeinplatzer Dream” is a disgusting truth.

To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

This is the first volume of the novel-length adaptation of the John Brown Isekai. <<less

Yoruichi needs a vacation. Its been almost 80 years since she escaped the Soul Society with Kisuke and Tessai. However, she had been complaining about the vacation she wanted so badly a bit too much.

The portal opens to a deserted tropical island, the perfect place for a cat to kick back, relax, and stew in the vacation she wanted so much. ... more>>

Unbeknownst to any of them, things are about to get a whole lot weirder.

It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt.... more>>

It was night, but there was a full moon. And a young girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

Reborn without a great destiny, Ben Higgs despised the fact he was running out of time.... more>>

In front of him, a path of fantasy was laid, but his body lacked the talent.

There were legends of immortality, but everything was out of reach.

Ben grew old and alone. However, once confronting death, he gave up everything to stay alive.

‘Conquering the world? Power and immortality? Those may be impossible, but I must keep my feeble petty life!’

He desired to see what it took to be fated for greatness. He aspired to learn the truths. He didn’t want to be an ant forever!

'What? How? Why?' he pleaded.

In the end, even if he gets himself destroyed and lost forever in this absolute madness, he must at least taste the taboos from the Heavens! <<less

In the Year 2356 The Galactic Security Council declared that all Meat-Eaters are to be exterminated regardless of there relations through out the Galaxy and if anyone tries to stop them will join the Meat-Eaters and be wiped out.... more>>

And after all had been done 'Clones' of the former Meat-Eater Species and made them herbivores and wiped out their pervious history, and made a new one to be slaves of the Council.

But I a being above all saw this and I hated what I saw this 'Council' broke many of their own laws and I deemed them guilty and so I picked three people, three different species all from the same last stand on Terra Humanity Home-world, but known as The Last Stand of the Predators. To those Races that refused to believe the Councils propaganda about they willingly gave up, Knowing Human history and seeing Trillions of souls not get back home they know what happened there, Said in anger when talking about the Council when they try to stop conflict after was there Extermination of those Races "Tell that to your Stalingrad" with many of the Council not knowing what that means.

First a Human, Jackson he was a Historian of New York High School he and all remaining Humans of 9.5 Billion on Earth as the rest of Humanity was wiped out, they all had been conscripted (if their could carry 3 kilograms) those unable to fight well they fought their own way or took their own lives.

Second a Fenrir or a Wolf-kin (Wolf-Kin is a sub species of the Fenrir from inter-species relations between Humanity and Fenrir. Fenrir themselves were more sentient Animals from Earth when Humanity had brought them to other worlds) Jasmine she was a Soldier of the Fenrir United Division witch was made of the Survivors of Fenrir whos Planet burned when they retreated.

Third and finally a Lizardman was the only one to be from a Different Species, his name can't be pronounced in the Human language but he took the name of Kalan witch he could also say he was just a scientist that was on Earth when his Species was wiped out since they were closest to the Galactic center and he had joined the Gerlak Resistance and fought a guerilla war across multiple worlds until Earth the last world that had Predators was left.

Your voice is 〈A Whisper in the Night〉, your 〈Sweet Fragrance〉 a memory I am unable to forget. You are my good 〈Brother〉, my 〈Study Companion〉, my 〈Safe Haven〉, 〈Heaven‘s Gift〉 to me.

〈A Bowl of Rice〉 and 〈Ten Pieces of Gold〉 are the same to me as long as they‘re shared with you. I want to go through the 〈Good Times〉 and the bad times with you. I 〈Dare〉 you to 〈Fight for It〉 if we are ever about to lose hope. It‘s just like an 〈Adventure〉 that the two of us will only be able to pass together.

If you have to 〈Walk Alone〉 for a stretch of this path, then I will be 〈Waiting for You〉 at the finish line whether it‘s for 〈Five Days〉 or 〈Twenty-five Years〉, not caring if we move 〈Into a Palace〉 or live in a 〈Lonely Hut〉. I would only be 〈Brokenhearted〉 if you weren‘t with me at the end.

===== Series Info=======
The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible.

The yuri/GL Is an **extremely slow** burn one.

=====Author Notes=====

This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing.

Constructive criticisms are always welcome.

I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.

______________Announcements______________

1. Monday and Thursday release.

2. Explicit scenes will have a content warning. I was told by some kind folks to mark explicit chapters with ❤❤❤, to protect the purity of innocent SH readers. So they will be marked accordingly. :)

3. The real plot takes a while to get started. For those of you who stuck through, You have my thanks.

4. Hit 100 chapters finally and Volume II ongoing. <<less

The Pink Necromancer, Quaraun, is caught in a storm and forced to seek shelter in The Screaming Unicorn Inn, where he is reunited with his dead, now resurrected as a Lich, lover BoomFuzzy the Unicorn.... more>>

In celebration of it's 50th anniversary, The entire Quaraun Series - all 200+ previously published novels and 2,000+ previously published short stories are being released here, for the first time available free to read online.

Yes, this is a "reprint" of a book published in the 1970s. This is not new or being written, it was finished 50 and published years ago. All chapters are being uploaded on a release schedule, but the story is already finished and complete.

NOTE: Each “chapter” is its own short story that stands on its own. The collected chapters, as a whole, tell many facets of the events surrounding Quaraun’s life and the lives of his friends and family. As such, the “chapters” do not progress in a linear beginning to end fashion, rather, they move forward and backward in time, including time travel portal travel, and flashbacks. The full series spans a time period from 800A.D. to the year 2525, with stories zipping back and forth to any era between those years.

This means you can read each “chapter” on its own, in any order, without reading the ones before or after it, or can read them in any order you please, if you choose to do so.

It’s lots and lots and lots of short stories about one character and his friends and family. Every main character with in each story is somehow a friend or relation to Quaraun, even in the stories Quaraun himself does not appear in.

I’ve tried to make sure editing was complete before uploaded, but some typos or grammar errors may have slipped through. If so, I’ll edit those as I notice them.

Note: I am Scottish, and this book is written in my native language. NO, BoomFuzzy's dialogue is NOT a made up language it is a very real world language called Gypsy Cant also known as Scottish English also known as Gaelic- if you have trouble understanding him, there are plenty of Scottish English/Gaelic to American English Dictionaries out there. American English is not my native language, and this series uses Scottish English spellings and grammar. (No, this is NOT UK English or British English)

As this is my first time uploading to ScibbleHub, I may not have formatted these early ones correctly. If so, I’ll edit and try again.

I hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Many hugs, from EelKat <<less
