Hey, I'm back and my new novel is finally here. It's a bit late and not the story I promised all those two long months ago, but I still hope you'll give it a chance. The name's Caracara's Hunt. It's a novel about a young man who was persecuted because of his powers. Here's the synopsis:

For twenty years, Arawn has spent every day in magic-dampening prisons. The latest being the Gutter, a place for the worst the human kind has to offer. Haunted by memories of the past and overwhelming power he cannot control, Arawn wishes for nothing more than to rot away in the darkness, far from the fragile humans he might hurt.

Yet a new criminal is sent to the Gutter. He's lively, alert, and too self-assured to just let himself die in a dingy cell. The moment he notices Arawn's fascination with the outside world, he showers him in tales about its beauty and warmth, something very opposite to the dark cell they now inhabit.
 
Slowly, a long dead sprout of curiosity rises its head within Arawn. But are abominations like him even allowed in the outside world? Wouldn't he be smited by the gods the moment he took a step out?
 
He would do it, if he were them.

The reason I changed the novel idea is mainly because I didn't think I could do good by the witch novel. I had planned it out and created an expansive world, but when I tried writing the first chapters, they just didn't work. Somehow, I couldn't get the right feeling. 

I was also faced with a new semester in my university at the time, and let's just say it didn't go well. I thought I knew what bad studies were, but I got educated on that. From now on, I'll never say there's nowhere lower to go—there is, always. Anyway, this interrupted all my plans to write with stress and other horrors familiar to all students. I only managed to get my feet under me like two weeks ago. 

Throughout those longs weeks, I had kept thinking about my less than acceptable drafts of early chapters for the witch novel and in the end decided that instead of releasing a subpar romance novel, I should better try my hand at writing an adventure novel again. For those who have read Flight of Icarus, you can expect a similar type of action and emotion packed story. For those who haven't, think of an action/adventure story set in a fantasy world with complicated characters and plenty of problems for them to face. Kingdoms, rivals, new friends, ancient secrets, love interests, betrayals, pets—you're going to get the whole package this time ;) 

Try it, you won't regret ^_^

P.S.
Sorry for the premium chapter, but I don't have the option to release normal (unpaid) chapters. I also needed at least 400 words for it to be released, so do forgive me.

Iris didn’t think much of her life until one day she found herself in the body of a baby fox. Before she could wrap her head around it, she was bullied by a kid and saved by a handsome stranger. It was almost like a fairy tale ending, just why is she still a fox?! Is there like a certain duration or will she need to stay like this forever? No way!

it was the month of July, my exams were finished. And I got busy with my boring life, reading books and novel, posting sad quotes of my own on my facebook page "HAUNTED TIMES". That time i was reading a novel "THE BOY WHO LOVED" by "DURJOY DUTTA" sir. It was suggested by Riya, she is a very good friend of mine. In short she's my soul sister. spoiler alert..!The Boy Who Loved" is the story of a school going boy called Raghu Ganguly who lives in Delhi with his family. On the outside, he is just your regular guy – loving parents, good academics, a respectable family with decent means. But that is just a façade. Deep down Raghu harbours a secret guilt – that he had let his friend down; he had let him die.Raghu likes to show that there is nothing remarkable about his life - loving middle-class parents, an elder brother he looks up to, and plans to study in an IIT. And that's how he wants things to seem - normal.
Deep down, however, the guilt of letting his closest friend drown in the school's swimming pool gnaws at him. And even as he punishes himself by hiding from the world and shying away from love and friendship, he feels drawn to the fascinating Brahmi - a girl quite like him, yet so different. No matter how hard Raghu tries not to, he begins to care ...
Then life throws him into the deep end and he has to face his worst fears. So yeah it was an amazing story.

A barren unoccupied land. A world which sapped my mental strength bear. Leaving me no rope to grasp onto. This was the status of my emotions. When I came to, the 'dream' was still here. Omnipresent and indestructible.

All I could recept, was the slithering near me. Everywhere, as if countless snakes crawled over me like a pot of honey. Crawling, slithering, every single second! Moving near my body continuously, constantly occupying me! A company I did not want!

Darkness, as black as a blind man. A night that never ended. A world which was covered away. I had no vision, no eyesight, nor eyes! I could not see nor gaze at any object within my surroundings. The unknown of the void constantly crept upon me. Leaving me vigilant, for every moment that passes.

Smell? The closest I got to a scent was feeling the aura of my mind crumbling! The smell of fear cradled me the longer I was conscious. A vapor, a mist that passed all my defenses. The fog filled my soul, becoming a smog that stuck to me like glue, inside of me.

There was the taste of what scholars called 'the wet pants', as I cowered in fear. My body constantly shivered, jiggling like a slime. My body with no limbs, trembled the more these thoughts and circumstances assaulted my head.

Deformed hearing and the sense of touch were the only sense that I had. The touch which felt like illuminated imperceptible ghosts rubbing upon the shell of my body. Giving one the shivers behind one's spine. My mind constantly suffered from a case of severe dementia.

Just what had I done so wrong in my past life to deserve being haunted like this for eternity? Had I played around with god's mistress? Maybe even a trio with his daughter? How else could I have been punished this hard for the rest of his life? How could one be this cruel to someone? This was being sentenced to eternal damnation! A body of no limbs, nor eyes, or mouth, was definitely me no longer being human. 

Just how much was I hated? I felt sad. There was nothing I could do, other than looking at the current circumstances I faced. I could only make do with what little lifeline I had left, to live my life with what little I had left.

My body was submerged by things. Feeling as though I was constantly pressed on, but also afloat. Perhaps I was in a pool? An ocean... or... a lake maybe? Those were my thoughts as I was suppressed by a heavy depression.

This body of mine... it seemed like there was no shape. I know... there must be a shape though, because I was still alive and not dead. Since I was not human, was I maybe like a slime from those weird JP novels? I could sense that I was like a squashed sphere, but never had I remembered anything where a slime had been haunted like this or be in a body of water. I did not have the power to be Aqua Slime, so why was I born like this? What stupid author would write a novel like this!?

Byyzzzz-. Byyzzzz-!

 A noise interrupted his thoughts. What was that?

[H-hel... help me...]

The mind was arisen from within him. His situation was off though, and soon  discovered he was no longer what he thought he once was... The lowest of all life. With the only belonging of his, he shall go on a journey to discover himself and get a new identity. A vow to top all Legends-

Author Notes- This novel was written for writing prompt #48 Evolution. This novel is basically about a character who starts off as the lowest of all life forms, he needs to hit certain requirements to evolve. The tasks wind up making him famous. Unlike my other novel, ‘Stage 2 Initializing : Welcome to Planet Iris’, this topic I will actually enjoy writing honestly, so I will also focus on this novel more. Schedule for now is a guaranteed 14 chapters weekly. I will try to hit at least 1 chapter a day. There may be extra chapters some days, depending on how much I write. Also please review the novel as it really helps me out and also gives me feedback. If you like this novel too, please use your powerstones! Ty ~ Eslyna

All the names of people in her life seemed so strangely familiar to fife year old Lily and when she met Elodie Perrin's five-year version. Everything exploded behind her forehead.
The shock was too big for her five-year-old body, she collapsed on the spot and was shaken for days with fever in bed.
Lily didn't want to die again, she didn't want to be murdered for a second time.
Everything she wanted was to wake up from this nightmare!
Unfortunately, she never woke up!
She cried in terror. While feverish nightmares from two lives haunted her every night. The whole situation had overwhelmed her as a five-year-old girl.
Which is why Lily made a plan with seven aims to survive in this novel world.
1. Cherish harmony and don't make needless enemies.
2. Be so lovely that your surroundings simply have to love you. Build a relationship with Pascal and Nadine. So they do not want to murder you.
3. Do not waste money. Start save up the money. You never know what will happen in the future. But savings for a rainy day would never be bad.
4. Do not get involved with the villains of the novel. Avoid unnecessary contact if possible!
5. Be the BFF of Protagonist. Maybe she could save your life and help you in times of terror. 
6. Show no interest in other people's romance. Don't get in the way of faintly couples. You don't know how a jealous person would react. Jealousy can be murderous in novels.
7. Be a hard worker.
Half of her rules were no longer valid. She had clearly broken rule number four. She had married the biggest villain of the novel. What an irony!
Two had not worked either. Who knows what Nadine and Pascal are currently planning? Now she had to hang on Alexandre's sleeves to survive, since Elodie and Fabien were no longer there to protect her.
Lily lay down on the floor.
She needed new rules!
But now the end of the novel was no longer predictable. Everything was in motion. She had to be more careful now. Especially because she still needed to take care of Adrien.
What a mess! Lily had always wondered why she ended up in this book. But this could never be explained. There was no evidence at all. She knew in some novels she had read. The Protagonist   shared name with the character in whom they had transmigrated. But she did not share the name with this side character of hers.
She did not read the book before she had died, as it happens in some novels to the main character.
Lily had read a lot in her past life.
She had often felt lonely. Books always gave her this little way out. An escape option to flee her everyday life. Her first life was not easy. She was born as a commoner. Her father, however, made things sometimes difficult. She never really had a lot of money. Even when the money blessing came, it didn't last long.
She saw a piano. Crowds. Loud music.
She pressed her eyelids together as memories of another life sprouted in her. Memories she did not want to think about now.
She pressed her lips together. It was so depressing. She should be thinking of something nice. But somehow her thoughts drifted back and forth to sad events. She felt this melancholy in her. Maybe yesterday's memories could not be banished to a box so easily. It even helped old wounds to emerge again.
Alright!
Unwilling side character, Lillian de Clermont, will now give it her all to lead a life of peace and mirth!
First, she needed new rules!
Lily bit her lower lip thoughtfully.
Rule one was still valid. Cherish harmony and don't make needless enemies.
Rule two: Be a good mother! It was very important to her. Elodie and Fabien had a reason why they had given Adrien in Lily's care. She wanted to be there for Adrien. She wanted to somehow fill the void that Elodie and Fabien left behind.
Rule three was especially valid! It was super mega important! Because she knew there was a possibility that Alexandre went bankrupt. She should start saving in bigger tracks!
Rule four: Build a relationship with Alexandre, so he wouldn't get rid of you in the future! Be as lovely as possible. Let him think you are a harmless animal that could not hurt him. Maybe he falls in love.
Well... It is very unlikely that he will fall in love with her, but she could try it. Perhaps, once the gods of love were on her side. Whereby she strongly doubted it. Men had never been interested in her. She was practically invisible to the world of men. This was quite bitter as she was inexperienced in two lives and her seduction skills were accordingly absent. Getting Alexandre to love her was a Sisyphean task.
Rule five: Avoid unnecessary contact with Pascal and Nadine and other miner villains of the novel!
That should be feasible now. After all, she now had two bodyguards on her side. Lily would no longer fall into the traps of the deadly duo.
Rule six: Be a hard worker! Never give up!

At the age of five, Lillian realized that she was cannon fodder for the rise of the main character of the novel 'My loyal hubby'.
To avoid her tragic end, she decides to make MC her new BFF.
Lillian decides to become the personal matchmaker of MC and ML. With all her strength, she defends the lovers against the remaining villains of the novel. With only one thought in mind - stay alive!
But all of a sudden when Lillian thinks she has finally escaped her tragedy, MC and ML die in a plane crash and leaving Lillian their son.
Together with ML's older brother, a cold, bossy CEO, Lillian has to take care of little Adrien.
Join Lillian on her usual journey as a mother and wife.

After hearing the word sister from his mouth in felt like I really got a family,and soon all of them came down and we had breakfast together,it was lively when I was eating with them, before this I would eat alone and the home was like a haunted house , when I first came to this house all I wanted was to live alone but gradually I felt the need of a family because a home is not made out of bricks it's made out of people living in there, so I became emotional again but before I could start crying the twins told me that I had to go with them to buy books so I controlled myself.

We went to the book shop to buy them books,while they were searching for there books I went inside the novel section but as I did I realised that I had lost the book that I bought yesterday, what a loss of money" I will ask the maids if they had seen it somewhere or not". 

While everybody was having a hard time looking for there desired books I was busy reading ,how did the lovely and extremely poor lady catch the heart of the cold and arrogant CEO , the story was so epic that I wanted to salute the writer, it was my first novel and it made me laugh so hard that people around me started looking at me with weird gaze. Most of them were trying to look at the book cover to see what book is so funny that had brought tears to my eyes and one of three girls from the crowd cane forward " May I know the name of the book ,actually I like to repeat funny things and when I saw you laughing I though it must be a perfect book to read in my free hours" she smiled as she said those words
"Oh yes why not the name is" I closed the book and looked at its cover "Melting the stone heart" that's the name" I said while looking at the cover and still controlling my laughter.
"How could you laugh like that ,it is the most tragic story I ever read, it made me cry so much. You are such a stone hearted person" she stomped her feet and went away after saying that ,when I looked around the crowd also seemed to agree with the girl, the looked at me with a serious expression, but soon they started to do there own work and I least bothered by them started laughing again. Seriously the story was so cringe I wanted to die... not really I just got my life back

After buying some of those funny books I went back to were my brothers were they still were not done with the books so I waged for the To finish and then we went home.

As I reached the mansion and the maids got busy with taking care of the stuff I suddenly remembered about the book "only you" that I bought so I asked one of them and luckily she knew about it."miss the book was sent to your library" she said 
So i rushed towards the library and after looking for sometime I found it, but when I opened it it was empty , I mean nothing was written in it I pun like the last time there was nothing written in it so was a little surprised by this but just ignored it and placed it back with the other books.

The next day we went to school but we had different classes so we had to separate at the door of my class, when I entered the room I saw a gang of girls talking about something with a sad expression as my seat was just behind them I sat and heard one of them saying " I cried for an hour when I read the scene in which Cedric loses his memories and can't remember Jase at all" the names were from the funny novel from yesterday and also the scene was one from the novel but all I remembered was that it felt a little too over dramatic but how can somebody cry for a fictional character for an hour just because he lost his memories.

Was the world always like this or something new has happened to it except for my rebirth?

The next 3 years we spent in high school were the same as always but what new happened was that we siblings started to train together and my brothers have become even more handsome after gaining some weight I am so proud of my self being their sister, now both of the twins have become good at fighting I read a lot of funny novels in these years and understood so much about our world affairs from them. Not really I just understood how to melt the stone heart of a CEO when you are a poor girl and have an innocent face. 
But I had no use of those tactics because first I didn't have an innocent face and 2 I was filthy rich so who cares.

So after I died on the day of my so-called best friends marriage, I cursed my life because I was always the side characters of her story.
Now when I was born again in my 6 years old body I found some strange things about my life that I did not know before, i was a daughter of a rich man and I was left as a sole heir of his entire fortune,
I got myself 3 brothers, I lived my life peacefully until my so-called best friend returned ,and I tried my best to remove her from my life but something even more worst than that happened ,I got drawn into the live story of Isabel (my so called friend) and her hero.

A certain girl can be seen walking past the street.
The girl seemed to be of high school student from her outer appearance wise.
As of today, it's a holiday for her and the other students.
By looking at the surrounding as the boys around her age giving a glance at her from time to times just shows that she was quite a beauty.
But as she was used to this, she ignored them all.
Today was supposed to be the day where she could get lazy all day long as it is the started of the holiday. 
It's been tiring ever since she started putting a lot of effort on studies and that's why when the holiday came she feels like all the energy was exhausted and all she wanted now was to relax, both for the mind and body.
Eating chips while watching anime, Playing the game all night, Reading the novel and etc.
She had it all planned.
But before she could even do one of them, her phone rang.

" My Dear, Mother has found a good place for you to live in. "

" What are you talking about? I'm already living in the school dorm so there is no need for that, Mother. "

" No, My Dear. There are times that girl at your age need a private space which the school dorm couldn't give. "

" What do I need a private space for? "

" I'm sure you'll need it in the future. So, why don't you check out the place first? Then you can tell me if you like it or not, okay? "

And so, she was forced to visit the mansion she was told to look at.
It's definitely not because she thought that she could be lazy all the times aside from school.
Definitely not.
With that in mind, she decided to go at it.

...

Looking in front of her, stood a huge mansion. Although it was a mess as it was abandoned, it is still a huge mansion.
As for the reason it was abandoned?
There is a story about that, or rather a rumor that she heard while asking on the way.
It was abandoned because it was haunted or so the rumors said.
They were saying the one who built the mansion is the cause of it.
The owner was found dead for a few days as some old neighborhood happens to pass by and smells rotten stinks surrounding the mansion.
They then walk towards the mansion's front gate and press on the ring bells a couple of times.
As no one giving an answer after a few minutes, they decided to go in as they suddenly have a bad feeling creeping in.
What they found was a rotten corpse sleeping on top of the bed.
It looks so peacefully, if it weren't for the rotten smells around it, they would have thought that the person was just sleeping.
That's when they decided to calls in the police.
The mansion was sold after that.
But the incident keeps on happening to the one who bought it.
All of them dies the same way.
They don't know what the cause of their death is.
And so, people brought shaman, exorcist, someone from suspicious cult and etc.
In the end, they said that nothing is wrong with the house and neither the land.
After that, no one bought the mansion as it was left there.

" No. This is definitely a no. "

" This mansion look exactly like those in the horror movie. "

" But it's so big and from the look of it, this mansion probably once a grand mansion like those rich people used to live. "

"It even has a big garden, well now it's just a full of weeds though. "

Leaving a sigh behind, she decided to walks in.
Although she was frightened at first, she was not scared.
Even though the mansion looks pretty old and dusty with all the weeds around but once it got renovated, she's sure it will look like a grand mansion.

" Mother said the land around the mansion is pretty cheap since it's haunted and all. "

To her, Cheap from her Mother's word is considered a million or so, it might be even more.
As she walks around the place, she found a single room that stood out among them.
In a spacious dusty room, there was a single coffin.
Even though it was dusty everywhere around this mansion, yet there is no single dust on the coffin.
This must be the cause of all those rumors.
But she had never heard any rumor about the coffin in the mansion.
Is it that, the owner saw the coffin one day and it led to their death or something like that.

" Oh, why wouldn't there be a coffin in the haunted mansion? "

Although she was shaken, she still decided to walks slowly toward the coffin.

* Creak *                                           [ AN: Thanks to a certain kind-hearted person. I'm dumb okay?! ]

The coffin was wide open. 
Inside it was a sleeping person (or it could be a corpse). 
The gender is unknown but from the outer appearance, it can be considered as good looking. 
The hair color is pure white. 
It's the same pure white that of a beautiful snow white.
The color of the clothes is the opposite of it which is all black. 
Its color is deeper dark than the night. 
It can be seen as a beautiful girl as the hair was so long that it almost reached the bottom. 
Looking at the figure, it should be the slender type. 
It could also be a handsome boy.
It has such an androgynous look and figures that people could make a mistake judging it.
And she is one of them.

" A beautiful girl? "

The more she looks closer, the more she accepted the fact that the person in the coffin is a girl.
It's definitely not because she finds it hateful that this person's beauty is slightly above her.
Definitely not.
As she was staring at the girl(?) face and her body suddenly she feels like someone is staring at her.
Looking up, She saw something that surprised her.
The once closed eyes are now wide open.
Staring at her, straight to her eyes.
The eyes color is that of a crimson red.
She swore that she had never seen someone having that kind of eyes, even on the internet with all those powerful Photoshop around as it didn't look as realistic as this.
But this one is so real that it was unbelievable.
It was the first time that she saw it.
It was beautiful yet scary.

Back in the Forgotten Days, Mankind lived in harmony.
There were no wars, no fighting, and everyone was living in peace. 

 

But one day, A Being was born from the accumulated of Evil from all living being.
That being was called as Demon God, who bring Chaos to the peaceful world.
