Chapter 1: The Idealist Government

For every effect, there is always an aftereffect. This is a realistic, scientific concept.

A new dawn has brought about fresh challenges for humankind. Over time, we have found a way to make our bodies evolve to be self-reliant and self-teaching. This is a time where food and water for survival sounds just as primitive as dinosaurs. An age where the phrase, “anything is possible” is quite literal.

The 23rd century was when science began to prevail in breaking this limitation for humankind. We created an evolution enhancement, technological device that was able to make the mutation happen one hundred percent of the time. Our era has brought about what humanity believed to be closest to one of immortality; unless you are physically harmed by another equally advanced human capability, nothing else can hurt you. That includes gunshots to any part of our bodies or non-morph animal attacks, as we are now immune to most things.

The human era came to a point whereby the only way humans could kill one another is through their morph ability’s power, although one can use technological advantage to gain the upper hand.

However, unbeknown to mankind’s wildest dreams,  we as a generation were not ready for the things our man-made, sped-up evolution brought to the table. I know I may

come out as babbling now but hear me out, you see.

The immortal era brings to light concepts  of problems  we did not realize could exist in our reality. I have lived long enough to know life is filled with beautiful concepts of brutality that blinds us from its reality.

Mankind has significantly and unnaturally stepped up its evolutionary  process that  spiraled  out of control  in  terms of having the necessary means to keep our world a law- abiding one. We now live in a way by which many  believe has always been; natural selection,  where  it  is  the  survival of the fittest game.

Senil Tusflier sat on his diamond-bronzed throne of the coliseum in Mau, the capital city of the  Maahes  Kingdom as he watched the wrestling match between his two comrades

with delight; Madgar The Beast ran towards  Lucil  in  order to grapple her and  toss her  with  strength  that  earned  him his by name. Lucil defended herself by shifting  into  her human shaped, lion-self midair so she could land and balance on her fours.  Angry,  Lucil  roared as she  turned back in her tall, well-exercised,  human  form  and  ran towards Madgar for the attack.

Senil leaned his body forward from his throne as he intensely enjoyed watching his first comrade  begin  a series  of attack moves that were too fast to defend by his towering,  beastly looking  guard. 

Lucil   who  was well  known  for  her fast feet and rightfully so as she proved it once more when she used Madgar’s solid body  as a stepping  medium to  lift  herself  high up so she could gather enough force to deliver a massive knee kick to The  Beast’s forehead.  Madgar  could  not  help  but  fall to the ground. Many  were present  in  the  room,  including  the one who has steadily led the vast group

of the powerful race, Senil The One. He cheered for yet another win for Lucil The Commander.

At the far end of the community from where the  thrill- thirsty Lion-Human races cheered for a more vicious spectacle, sat a much calmer group  of the same community. Fathers, mothers, and mostly children alike were just as happy to be around The Storyteller. They all gather around Mack Lite, surrounding him as closely as permitted. The much older man sat patiently  as many people formed a crowd around him.

“Hey Mack!” Shouted a young boy’s from within the crowd, “We are all here. Can we begin the story now?”

“Yeah…” Almost everyone present  shouted  and cheered  in agreement.

Mack smiled at their reaction, “I am delighted you have all grown to like my stories. In truth, I have  also grown  to enjoy you all around me.” Mack The Storyteller, who was in

is old age at life, moved around in his electrical powered wheel chair.

“Would you like to hear a story about love?”

While most of the people cheered in agreement, some parties did not but were just as interested.

Mack Lite was popular for his delightful stories. He is, unofficially. the storyteller of Senil’s  kingdom.  Mack enjoyed telling his stories every  evening  but  the  town market was where most of the  residents  came  to  hear his tell of a new tale. Also, others  who  lived  far  away connected  through  several  multi- media outlets to participate in what has now become the most efficient and successful way to  reunite  almost  if  not  all  the  Lion- Human race at once. One of the  many  stories  Mack Lite told was a story of how truelove wins: “Ready or not here is the tale. Once upon a time, there lived  a man who had a very beautiful daughter.

The Daughter was so beautiful that most men say she was one of the few angels  who  survived   the  fall  from  heaven.  The  father  of this girl was very  happy  because  at the  time,  when  the  girl is mature enough, suitors  from  all  over  the world  will  come to ask for her hand in marriage.

They offered gifts of many kinds to the father. The father  was confident he would become very wealthy for as of that moment, he  was very poor.

When the time came for the man to give his daughter away, many people came as predicted  to ask for  the  daughter’s hand in  marriage.  The  father  quickly  became  rich  because of the  numerous  gifts   that  he  had  collected  from  the wealthy  suitors. 

The  father  was happy  for  the  good  luck and fortune  that  his  daughter  had  brought  to him. He decided he would choose three  of the  wealthiest  men  that had come  to ask  for  his  daughter’s  hand  in  marriage,  so that his daughter may choose the one she wants to marry.

All  the  while  that  the  father  of this amazingly  beautiful girl  was choosing  what  he  thought  was a right   suitor  for his daughter, the girl sat in  a room.  She  was not happy about all the men that had come. She did not care for choosing the man she would be with  for  the  rest of her life by the money he had but with her heart.

As she sat in her new room, for one of  the  suitors  had  bought her father a big house,  one  of  the  servants,  who  was also  a gift from one of the suitors, came in to be of service. He was about to leave the room  when  he  asked  for  the  girl’s permission to speak  freely. 

The  girl  granted  this  permission and he said ‘I know that I do not have  enough  money  to win your  heart, but  if  I had the  slightest  possible   chance to have you as mine, I will not dare to buy you from your father for you are worth more  than  the  most  precious  stone  the  world has to offer.’ The girl fell in love with him and they ran away together to live happily ever after.”

The crowds were satisfied at yet another good story by The Storyteller.

Amongst  the  crowd  now  sat the  well-groomed,  bearded, six  foot  tall,  heavily  toned,  muscled   leader,  Senil  and others who had stopped their form of play to come listen to Mack tell his tale of delight…

Best romance novels for adults:Destiny Bound- Love in War by Olamide Ojo

Short Description: Born to different warring kingdoms, Neman and Limera were born to be enemies but by way of faith they defended for one another. Faith collided with destiny and made the reality of the two unlikely friends become intertwined as they face love’s odds.

 

Chapter 1 of Destiny BoundDestiny Bound- Love in War by Olamide Ojo

“You need to move faster so you can jump higher! The wind is our most trusted ally! Little Neman moved as fast as he could while he defended himself against Dilanta, his father.

Using a stepping stone to jump as high as he could to the next boulder, Neman propelled himself to thrust his sword forward, right towards his father’s chest.

“Not fast enough boy!” Dilanta said as he dodged the disadvantaged attacker’s weak endeavor by Shifting his body so that he misses and falls to the ground.

Neman maneuvered his body so that he lands on a flat surface, rolling over to the ground safely. The young fighter bravely climbed towards the top in pursuit of his father “You need to be faster! Dilanta shouted, “your strength alone is useless but your mind working with your body will make you invisible!”

Neman gasped for air as he tried to speak, ” I need to rest for tomorrow Father.”

“Focus on the present boy!” Dilanta yelled, ” For the future depends on it! Now, quick come to me!

Neman reached the peak of the mountain.

“That was really slow.” Dilanta said, “you are yet to perfect the ways of the wind. Come, let us go home to your mother. Her healing hands will dress your sore legs,” Dilanta commanded.

They went towards a safe passage known only by the Pelitans.

“What is going to happen tomorrow?” Neman asked. “You ask too many questions.” His father replied, “Do not be in such haste for your destiny cannot outrun you.” Neman did not always understand the answers his father provided him.

“I know you do not have your armor yet but I am sure your mother has taught you well” Neman agreed.

Luciana, Neman’s mother was a beautiful and caring woman. Neman had always heard his father say to his friends that her long hair and beautiful legs were her most delightful physical attributes.

“Here, comes my little warrior.” Luciana praised, “He has braved the cold mountains and the scorching sun.” She then hugged him.

“You exchange greetings like you don’t see each other every day.” Dilanta said.

“Somebody is in a good mood.” Luciana replied playfully.

“I have one of your favorites waiting for you at home,” Luciana said. Neman predictably took off towards his home.

He looked back to see his mother and father locking hands together, and walking towards home. Moments like those were the only times he saw his father’s calm and gentle side.

 

Chapter 2 of Destiny BoundDestiny Bound- Love in War by Olamide Ojo

“Mother, what is going to happen tomorrow? I asked father and he told me not to outrun my destiny,” Neman asked as his mother nursed his wound.

“Tomorrow my dear boy is when you become a man. You have been chosen as one, but the youngest, of many Pelitans to go into the unforgiving Forest.” Neman felt his heart pound twice as fast . Tales of the unforgiving forest told by his father still rang in his ears: These are a traditional rite of passage for our young Pelitans. They taste their knowledge and abilities for thirty days and nights in the unforgiving forest. It has been described by many brave hearts including his father as the most horrifying moments of their lives.

“Why must I leave? Father told me I still have seven more years before my time comes.” Neman, who was ten years of age, challenged.

“Because you are special,” Luciana said as she gently rubbed his head, “you have a far greater destiny ahead of you.” Neman noticed his mother trying to fight back tears. “Before you leave, I want you to have this,” Luciana continued.

She went towards the top of her drawer and brought out two shiny and identical daggers with handles that have the carvings of eagles.

“These used to be my weapons. Their light weight and length together with your fast feet would give you advantage over your enemies.”

Luciana, who was now standing in a fight -ready position, held the dagger with both hands. She made quick spins that made it difficult for Neman’s eyes to follow. Suddenly, she joined the weapons together at the bottom making it a longer double bladed sword.

Neman watched in amazement as his mother handled the weapon in a fast and skillful manner.

Although, Neman had seen Luciana handle a weapon several times as one of his trainers, he had never seen her at her present level. Neman was convinced his father would not be able to dodge her fast hands.

Luciana halted her motions as she calmly gasped for air.

She then looked back at her son with a smile on her face.

“I see myself in you every time we train together.” Luciana said, “You fight just like me and your father combined together. You will be the greatest wind seeker the Pelitans has ever seen.”

“How do you know that?” Neman asked. “Because I can see it now.” Luciana said as she demonstrated and made gestures with her hands “You are so swift that even the forceful wind would bow at your feet . But there is something you must know.” “What is it mother?” Neman asked.

Luciana walked up to her son and sat by his side.

“I see it best that you find out yourself. Now lay your head and let me tell you a tale of the creation of man.”

“Once upon a time, seven main gods decided to hold a meeting after the creation of the First man. The lead God known by many names but called the divine one by other gods concluded that man needed a companion.”

Luciana stopped because she heard sounds of footsteps coming towards their door.

“Luciana! Come at once. It is happening!” Kras, one of Dilanta friends and fellow Commander shouted as he busted into the room. Neman watched as his mother grabbed one of the swords strategically arranged around the house. Without hesitation or questioning, Luciana got ready and was about to head off with Kras.

“Rest today my dear boy. Tomorrow your journey into becoming a man begins.” Luciana said as she was about to exit the house. Neman nodded his reply and off she left.

Neman was not surprised at why his parents were not around because it was a familiar occurrence. Neman knew his mother and father were off to battle. He has seen both of them fight together as one before.

According to his training, he knew his mother attacks while relying on his father to defend for her; a battle formation based on perception, speed, skill, and mostly trust.

Together they are strong like the battle god himself,’ Neman recalled what Ragan, the Pelitan lead warrior, described his mother and father while in the battle zone.

 

Chapter 3 Destiny Bound- Love in War by Olamide Ojo

“Behind you,” Luciana whispered loudly to Dilanta, who was right beside her and the other Pelitans that fought off the dark warriors. Dilanta looked behind him and saw a large beastly looking Tenebrous heading straight towards him. As the Tenebrous soldier got a little closer, he swung his heavy and long sword towards them, Dilanta dodged by bending forward, thereby allowing Luciana to use his back like a boulder so that she can jump high enough to smite.

As she was falling downwards in a form that allowed her to hold her sword above her head, the Tenebrous warrior attempted to slice her down immediately. Luciana succeeded in distracting the Tenebrous man, thereby allowing Dilanta to drive his blade into the soldier’s heart . He screamed in agony but still stood upright.

Dilanta and Luciana charged at him at once to engage him in combat. Luciana and Dilanta both attacked in a stylish foot work that allowed them to move simultaneously and fast. They both smashed the Tenebrous’s head in a final blow.

As the two outstanding warriors killed the beast, they decided to go and help Ragan, the leader of the Pelitans and Kras, a brave warrior and friend.

As they ran towards Ragan, Dilanta sharply noticed an arrow heading towards Luciana’s direction. Dilanta pushed Luciana out of the way of the poisonous arrow, as all of the Tenebrous arrows are poisoned.  His attempt to dodge the shot was futile. The arrow pierced deep into his gut. Dilanta fell to his knees from the pain.

Shocked as can be, Luciana moved towards Dilanta who fell to his knees. “Your beauty alone storms the breath right out of me.” He said as he gave up the ghost.

“This is not the end,” Luciana who was filled with indescribable rage and dismay said. As soon as she said that, a tall and slender looking Tenebrous slowly walked towards her.

“Hello Lucil, it’s been a while.” Luciana recognized his voice and knew immediately who it was; Kadrin, the Tenebrous king.

“The gift was meant for your heart, not his gut” Kadrin said coldly and calmly.

Luciana saw the bow in his right hand. She grabbed Dilanta’s sword and charged at him with all the force of the wind she could seek, but Kadrin was too strong for her. Her defense was too weak for her shield, Dilanta had fallen.

She kept fighting as fast as she could and Kadrin kept defending himself with an unending strength. As if Kadrin had enough, he forcefully hit her with the pommel of his sword. Luciana fell.

Luciana dragged herself towards Dilanta’s body.

“I will spare your miserable life if you agree to come with me.” Kadrin said. He waited for a reply and got none.

Kadrin became angry and wanted to thrust his sword right into Luci’s heart when a side kick backed by the wind made him miss. It was Kadrin’s worst nightmare, Ragan, the strongest of all the Pelitans and the most skillful wind seeker.

“You will regret this!” Ragan said as he charged towards Kadrin with the foot movement that allows him to gather enough wind force to match Kadrin’s strength. Ragan successfully thrust his blade towards Kadrin’s heart. It did not go through Kadrin’s heart because of his armor. Kadrin counter attacked with a deadly force and the two beastly warriors fought with motivation that comes from an intensified hatred of one another.

“You know you cannot defeat me.” Kadrin spoke when he could, “My kingdom is now twice the size it was before. Join me and maybe I will spare your life when my whole army comes raining down on you. This is just a training practice for my personal bodyguards!”

“You are just afraid you will lose” Ragan replied “You are right to be, you slimy, disgusting excuse for a King!”

“I am Kadrin. Even the battle god himself fears me!”

Kadrin shouted with anger as he charged at Ragan.

Ragan’s wind-seeking skills proved efficient enough to defend against the Tenebrous king.

“Soon enough, I will enslave you all!” Kadrin said as he engaged Ragan, “I shall make you my personal servant, if you survive!”

“I will feed your head to lions of the seas! We are the Pelitans and just like the wind, we live free!” Ragan replied with the same intensity while the two men fought like gods.

Kadrin pushed Ragan away from him and quickly stepped backwards into the comfort of his men who never wandered too far away from him. They got especially closer when they saw their king was fighting the Pelitan warrior, Ragan.

“Till the day we meet again vermin! When it comes, I will not be this merciful.” Kadrin said as he called for his ride, a monstrously modified horse, and rode away.

Ragan quickly went up to Luciana as soon as Kadrin was out of his view but he was too late. He saw Luciana lying right next to Dilanta, with both of them locking hands, and facing each other. It was a sad day for all Pelitans…

Chapter 1 of Super Eternal Transformation titled:

Alter Call

Vick Scaner sat on the porch by his television asking himself, “is it better to have loved and lost than to not have love at all?” He could not answer that question amid his present situation. “Barbra was the only girl for me, and she left me at the altar for my friend,” Vick complained in distraught.

Vick was a 35-year-old, five foot and six inches, overweight sales manager at a car company. His girlfriend, Barbra had been cheating on him for the past five years that they had been together.

Furthermore, she was controlling and always maltreated Vick. He was infatuated with Barbra. He over-looked a lot of tells that Barbra was not committed to the relationship. She always made excuses as to why she could not make several of their mutually planned dates.

Vick always thought she travelled a lot for her job. She was the secretary to Vick’s best friend, Leroy. It was a job that Vick  had helped her get. Although Vick had a feeling that Leroy and Barbra might be having a fling, he convinced himself otherwise and decided he was paranoid.

It was not until the day of their wedding, two weeks ago, when he was left at the altar that he realized he should have addressed his concern in a more serious manner.

Vick, who had been friends with Leroy longer than he had been with Barbra, was depressed beyond words. He watched his once beloved girlfriend, Barbra run away with his one of few friends, Leroy.

When the heart-broken man asked why she did such a thing to him, all she could say was: “Leroy is more of a man than you could ever be.” Those words have been ringing in Vick’s head for the past two weeks since the incident.

All he did since that time was drink and eat thereby making him gain 20 more pounds to his already overweighed body of 250.

“Hey Vick, are you in there?” Vick’s co-worker said. “This is Erik from work.” Vick did not move an inch from where he sat. He barely heard his doorbell ringing. He had been sitting in the same spot for the last two weeks, getting up only to get food from his freezer and to order from Thai and Chinese restaurants.

Vick still had on a shirt and trouser from his “never-happened” wedding. “Hi Vick, I let myself in, the door was open… damn! Dude you stink as hell man” Erik, Vick’s co-worker could barely finish his words because of the stench he perceived as he entered Vick’s two-bedroom apartment.

Vick remained quiet as he stared at the television he hadn’t changed since he sat on his couch. Erik noticed the take-out plates all around Vick’s already messed up apartment.

“Dude look at you man, this ain’t right fool. I know you went through hell but this will not solve your problem home boy.” Eric, who was a tall and nice looking Latin American man, said as he was trying to comfort his co- worker. Dejected Vick was surprised at Eric’s behavior because they had just recently started talking.

“Hey man, you would not feel any better if you lock yourself up in this place,” Erik said looking around before he finished his words. “Come on, let’s go out tonight, you, me, and some big booties all up in our faces all night bro!” Vick’s reactions were as if he hadn’t heard a word Erik had said, but he nodded his head and got up and headed towards his room. “Holy shit dude! Even ass smells better than you right now man! Damn!” Eric exclaimed with a horrific look as soon as Vick got up. Vick did not care because he was not listening. His ex-words still rang in his head as he walked to his bathroom.

Chapter 1 of Fighting Under Casper King ( second story in Amazing short stories, short stories to read)

Chapter 1 Greetings

“Have you heard of him? The leader with the last name of a king.” The court’s jester spoke with a flare of drama and passion. “The east surrendered to him because they watched him mercilessly champion over the west. He is conqueror of  the south and lucky enough for us, the north is his home. He gets what he wants, when he wants, how he wants it and he better not find you wanting! Because death will be your greatest wish if you get on the king’s fucked side!” The jester  proudly proclaimed as he performed his art to the reluctant crowd.

“Yes, yes!” The jester yelled out as he continues to sing praise of his master. “Even as we speak, just stone- throwing miles away from this very celebration, some of you   fled from your beloved home just before the dogs of hell arrived at your door steps. You say you have come to pledge  your allegiance but we both know the truth, don’t we? I asked you a question!”

 “Yeah, yes we do!” Most of the crowd present fearfully responded in agreement. The jester was dressed in bright colorful mismatched outfit. He held two machetes in each hands as he performed directly in front of the spectators. He danced towards, and swung his broad heavy knives carelessly aiming at the crowd who had to move out of his way for dear.

“Haha,” the jester laughs as he moved waywardly. “You all know hell in its cold glory was about to break loose and this was the best way to save your hinds. For your quick-witted thinking, our general has permitted me to grant you asylum in one of our greater empires. “But wait!” The jester halted all sound and movement.

“Before I continue,” he whispers loudly in a dramatic posture. “Allow me to introduce the one worthy enough to lead us into this glorious battle.The one worth enough to paint the place you call home a colorful taste of bloody red!”

“I give you general Casper!” The jester said as he bows his head and raised both arms in the direction of the Emperor’s seat box where the general sat. “Haha,” Casper laughs and claps. “Tremendous! Just wonderful. You have outdone yourself yet again jester boy!”

“I live to please you my lord!”

“Hmm, very true. Keep up the good work!” Casper King was well known for his notorious ways with women. The five foot ten inches general with medium build made his way to the top of Conilius hierarchy of warlords by impressively dealing with his leaders’ enemies without mercy.

He was known as the undefeated womanizing general. As his power grew in Conilius military court, so did his appetite for acquiring concubines for his lustful needs. He killed anything in his way including the men involved with some of the women he had forcible taken. His depravity  did not stop with enemies but allies as well.

“Thanks for the introduction funny man,” Casper says as he walked towards  the crowd. They were gathered in the arena of a coliseum few miles away from Glendell, the capital city of Pelita.

“As you are well aware, Glendell is the only place left standing in your once great empire of Pelita. All this would have been avoided if your leaders surrendered over like the overseers wanted. But still, in my almost infinite mercies, I have decided to grant you asylum and an opportunity to start all over again. We are a semi-republic system after all,” Casper said with his best grin. “My name is Casper. You shall address me as your new lord and master. Am I clear so far?”

“Yeah!” The crowd yelled almost at the same time. The worrisome and nervous looks on their faces compared to their attempt at praising their captor disguised as savior was a thin line. The arena was surrounded by enough soldiers to make the already agitated crowd of war casualties feel tenser. General Casper continued, “I will   visit your former homes in a few days’ time.

Those that were loyal to their country till the end will meet just that, their own end. If you have family or friends that chose this path, I hope for the sake of what is about to befall them that they truly thought their choices through thoroughly. They will not be dying with their dignity or pride of country. It is my sole duty to tear that asunder!”

“Ahoo!” The soldiers around the vicinity chanted loudly as they make battle sounds with their weapons. The ambience from the crowd seemed to take a turn for the worse. “Welcome to the Conilius family!” The general concluded as he started clapping. The soldiers followed and so did the rest of the crowd.

“My men would lead you to your new destinations. But I have got to say, you  Gledellans have one of the most beautiful women around. As a top commander in the Conilius Empire, one of the reasons I wanted to personally conquer this place for myself was the rumor about the beauty Gledellan women possess. I must say that I am impressed by what I have seen so far. Even as we speak, I spot a beauty more stunning than a leaf droplet of a fresh morning dew.” Casper said as he looked towards a specific direction of the crowd.

“You,” the general pointed in the direction of a woman standing in between two older  adults that held her hands on either side. “Come to me and let’s see about making your life better than what it has ever been. You can bring those people with you if it makes  things easier.” Casper commanded. It was no surprise the general had spotted what he thought was the most beautiful woman amongst the crowd. Before the lady and her parents could respond, the general’s men were already in the process  of taking them towards the emperor’s entrance of the coliseum

Casper went back to his seat, excited about his new catch. There were lots of incoherent mumblings amongst the crowd but none loud enough to stand up against  general Casper’s order. The three were directed to stand before Casper. What is your name beautiful one? Casper asked. “Rachelle,” She said in an indifferent manner.

The crowd silent mumbles grew a little loud for a moment at hearing her name. “Hmm, I see you are well known among your people. Is that because of your radiant beauty?”

“Thank  you for your kind words my liege,” Rachelle began, “the reason for my popularity is mostly because I recently got betrothed to the commander of Glendell, Hansome Mystii.”  

“Is that so?” Casper says with an evil grin. “Where is he now?” “He is among those fighting your soldiers now.” Rachelle replies trying hard to show no fear. “Good, good” Casper says, “I suppose you are the parents?”

“Ye…yes sir,”  the father manages to say. “We are grateful for the warmth you have shown sire,” the mother quickly added.

“What about you beautiful? Are you grateful at the kindness I have shown, huh?”

“Thank you for your kindness my liege,” the beautiful lady with an hourglass figure managed to reply as she bowed with a slightly bent knee. “You may call me Casper my dear, just you though.” Casper chuckled as he continued, “soon, you shall be able call me anything you want.” The general concluded smiling…
