Chimaera's Conquest: The Legend Of The Devourer
WSA 2024 entry Synopsis: In the not-so-distant future, a group of Earthlings find themselves mysteriously transported to the Nexus Realm, a fantastical world besieged by monstrous creatures. With no way out of the craziness, they reluctantly joined forces with the realm's inhabitants to combat the constant threat of these otherworldly beasts. To defend the Nexus or Nexaria, powers were bestowed upon them with the promise of returning home after successfully repelling the monsters dangling before them like a carrot. Years passed, and the initial camaraderie between the heroes slowly began to crumble. Still, the Protagonist, Adrian Fenrir, with his power known as Analysis, played a crucial role in understanding the monsters' patterns and weaknesses. However, as the group became more adept at handling the threats, they grew increasingly independent and, perhaps, arrogant. One day, due to a series of mishaps, Adrian found himself surrounded by assassins. He tried his best to drive them off but failed and met a bitter end. It didn't take long for the assassins to do their work, and as per the contractor's request, they decided to dispose of Adrian's corpse by selling it to a mad scientist known for his experiments with creatures from the Nexaria. In need of a fresh subject for his latest project, the scientist transformed Adrian into a chimaera, a fusion of humans and monsters to be sold as a weapon for war. However, the scientist's plan backfired when Adrian, against all odds, regained consciousness within his chimaera body. Fueled by rage and the memories of his betrayal, Adrian seized control over his new body. Now reborn as a chimaera with the ability to absorb organs and gain the powers of other creatures, Adrian vows vengeance upon the mysterious contractor who sent the assassins for him. Once a battleground against monsters, the Nexaria now witnessed a different kind of conflict—one driven by betrayal, revenge, and the extraordinary powers of a vengeful chimaera. *** Weekly bonus chapter goals: • 20 Golden Tickets: 2 extra chapters. • 80+ (weekly) Power stones: 2 extra chapters. • 1 Review: 1 extra chapter (Only valid for first 10 reviews) • Super gifts: 4-8 chapters, depending on the gift. *** Discord Server link: https://discord.gg/bjetmPER5p
Someone's Always Lurking (2)
Adrian requested A'Mila to hear him out alone. While she was still adamant about not letting him walk into the lion's den, she thought she could at least hear him out. Once the room was empty, Adrian began his speech.
"This is not just a plan, A'Mila. It's our best shot. The Tulkas won't see me coming," Adrian asserted. "I need you to step out of Vesper's memories for a moment and think as the Matriarch of the tribe. Besides, it'll be beneficial for both of us."
"What do you mean?" she inquired.
"After Silka's public outburst, the tribals would view me suspiciously," Adrian explained. "No matter what you say or do, somewhere in the back of their heads, they'd think of me as a traitor."
He continued, "I need to prove myself, and what better way is there than facing our enemies on a risky mission? Plus, if you let me go, it'll set straight those who think you favour me. No one who's all biased would let someone take on such a dangerous mission, right?
