A Bored Lich
"Screw magic, I want to learn how to do cool flips and stuff." Magic is awesome, until you've studied it for centuries. Doevm reincarnates into a human to experience the path of a fighter to its fullest and swears not to rely on magic. There is only one problem, a goddess stands in his way. She pits him against both the hero and the villain for all of eternity. How will he escape this, with magic or his fists? Maybe both? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Sorry about the spacing. Webnovel doesn't let me use enter) Winner of contest #110. I upload three chapters a week.

Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or point out an error in grammar. I read all comments. There are naturally some things I won't say. For example, if some says there's an inconsistency and I don't address it, it's probably there for a reason.
Past the Breaking Point
Corrupted blood dripped off the many, metal poles jutting out of Shay's mangled body. Just standing was a defiance of death.
Thomas swallowed his saliva. His gut had been screaming at him throughout the entire fight, but only in the end did he hear its words: Shay was dying to fight
'Shay has gone mad,' Thomas thought. 'This doesn't make any sense! I won, didn't I? I dropped a bridge on his head for the goddess's sake! He should be running, not fighting.' He took a step away from the homicidal maniac, then another. Before he knew it, his trembling back hit a solid wall. He cursed.
"You can't dodge this time!" Shay barked as he lunged at the noble with a sudden torrent of strength. Thomas tensed. The claws grated off his spear shaft but the heavy impact shot through his entire body. His spear flew out of his grip as his left arm went limp.
