Learn magic they said. Or at least shore up your paltry skills. Talk is cheap, and that edict has cost me dearly. I had a comfortable life, once upon a time. A quiet life. One where I'd carved a realistic niche for myself. No more. Power is seductive, and a bitch of a mistress. Once I pulled the cork out of that bottle, a million genies sallied forth. None of them were nice. No one offered me three wishes, or any wishes at all. I've been working my fanny off for the last two years. Most days, I slog along from dawn to dusk and beyond. Sleep has turned into a distant memory. When I do lie down—or fall on my face, which is what really happens—my mind whirls in circles as I relive the failures du jour. And the very occasional success. I am stronger. So much stronger it scares me. My talent sparkles, flowing bright and clean. Soon, I'll leave the well-hidden spot that's allowed me time to claim what's mine. Whether my... Views: 630
They say family always sticks together, but when you’re your dad’s only lifeline and the whole world—humans, dragons, and gods—wants you dead, “family bonding” takes on a whole new meaning.
My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I’m in way over my head. I thought getting rid of my dad’s bad luck curse would put things back to normal. Instead, I’m stuck playing caretaker to the Great Dragon of Korea. That wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t such a jerk, or if every dragon on the planet wasn’t out to kill him, or if he was my only problem.
Turns out, things can always get worse in the DFZ. When a rival spirit attacks my god/boss with the aim of turning the famously safety-optional city into a literal death arena with Nik as his bloody champion, I’m thrust onto the front lines and way out of my comfort zone. When gods fight, mortals don’t usually survive, but I’m not alone this time. Even proud old dragons can learn new tricks, and with everything I love falling to pieces, the father I’ve always run from might just be the only force in the universe stubborn enough to pull us back together.

It could rock the science world - archeologists discovering the tissues of a non-human creature that once roamed the Earth. But the three friends preferred to keep it their secret. Now they use the tissues to bring the long-destroyed species back to life. Will the virgin deliver a special baby... once again?Reilly was a slug, and I emphasise WAS, because he is no more. You see, he got his comeuppance. My story begins long, long ago, a full three months previous. “Morning, mum,” Reilly sang out, one wonderfully damp, drizzly cold morning.“Good morning, Reilly,” his mother replied. “What has you so chirpy, apart from the fine day that is?”“I don’t know,” her son replied. Mulling it over, he added, “Perhaps it’s because...”“Because – what?” she asked, her head nudging a half-rotten cabbage leaf in his direction. “You will think me silly...” he mumbled, eying the dainty morsel with some considerable delight.“I will if you don’t eat your breakfast,” she chided, nudging the leaf closer to him.Taking a bite out of the decaying leaf, Reilly said, “When I awoke this morning...”“Yes?”“I thought, I somehow knew – and I have absolutely no idea why – this is the day I leave home. Taking another mouthful of cabbage, he chomped away quite happily on it, then said, “Does this make any sense to you, mum?”Smiling, tears of slime running freely down her slippery brown face, his mother said, “My child is all grown up!” Views: 630
