Part1:

It was around Eleven o'clock when Duren left Hailt without anyone noticing it. He carefully planned his disappearance for more then one Month, not that it really mattered. Even though the Villagers treated him as one of their own, he knew that after the death of his Parents last year, the distance between him and the Villagers grew from day to day. Additionally this years Harvest turned out to be really bad and so everyone would have a hard time surviving on their own. Before he left he wrote a letter to the Villagers thanking them for taking care of him. He also left them some of the Money that he inherited from his parents and only took the basic necessities as well as 3 specific Items that were left behind by his parents. After leaving the outskirts of the Village behind, Duren climbed up a Tree and sat down on one of the branches. He was irritated. He knew that he had to leave the Village, but still, leaving behind all his friends and acquaintances for an unknown amount of time, still made him sad. To quickly forget about these things that could shatter his resolve, he decided to once again go through everything that he brought with him. Apart from the basics he had three especially important Items that would lead him on his Journey. The first thing was a letter that he got from his parents shortly before they left on the trip, during which they died. The only thing special to this letter was that it was sealed, but Duren new how to break this seal, or better said, he new that the seal would break on his 16 birthday, which would mark the day were he officially would be recognized as an Adult. Luckily his birthday was only one week away, which meant that soon he could take a look into the content of the letter. But the other two Items that were left behind were the ones he was more Interested in for now. Apart from the letter he also brought a book, but it wasn't just a normal book, rather it was a magical book, that would allow him to learn magic Spells of the earth element. He trained since the time when he found this Book in his Fathers study and had already mastered the first two, out of ten, Levels of the magic tome. The third Item that he had with him was a map. It was a big map that showed the whole southern part of the Reigen Continent. The Map was maybe even the most important Item for Duren right now, since he had to decide were he would like to adventure. He leaned back and took a look at the map. He found his current Position very fast and after analyzing the map, he came to the conclusion, that he had three Options.

Hello Everyone, thank you for taking your time to check out my first attempt of writing a (longer) Story. Since English isnt my native Language, though im currently studying it, i can guarantee that there will be mistakes here and there. I will try my best to correct them as soon as possible, but any help is appreciated. I plan to upload at least one page per week (if i have time i might update it more). The Story will be more of a classic High-Fantasy story, though i will try to experiment at times, since im more of a experimental short-story author, than a novelist. I hope you will enjoy my Story, thank you for reading.

Everything that was written, was quite enjoyable, but my vote goes definitely to Time_Phantom .

Honestly, the only thing that is missing is a comic adaptation to this story.

@batkevin74 : i definitly had more ideas and im really thankful that i was invited to take part in this Contest, even though i couldnt finish it. University just started and additionally to that i was in the process of moving. All that consumed much of my time, since i also had to learn for university, since japanese isnt easy to learn. All in all i had fun and i will definitly take part in the next Contest and finish it. Now i need to go back and finish reading all the stories to vote.

(I will try to update the story as fast as possible)

Death is a Vampire

It all began on a foggy night, where HE was seen dragging several coffins into a cemetery.

I woke up as the first rays of the sun began to clumsily illuminate the room in their familiar yellow Light. As i was still fatigued, the bright Light of the Sun bothered me a little too much, so i stood up from my bed to close the curtains. In this moment, someone knocked at the door, so i quickly changed my clothes to a manner befitting a detective and hurried the stairs down, to greet my guest.

A police man stood in front of the door. „Good Morning Mr. Shen. Please come in.“ „ Thank you very much Mr. Byte“, he said while wiping the sweat on his Face of, with a small handkerchief.

Mr. Shen was the police officer in this remote town. He had a small but quite corpulent build and was something like a local celebrity in this town, thanks to his kind nature that made it so that nobody could hate him.

„Its still so early in the morning, but its already so hot, isnt it Mr. Byte?“ „Definitely Mr. Shen. But why are you here today? Did something important happened?“ „Ah,, yes“ he answered as he was searching through his pocket for something. Seconds later he pulled something out of his Jacket.

„ There were some people complaining about someone, or to be honest...“ he said as he got a little bit closer to me „... something that has been roaming in the streets during the Night and it has made the townspeople anxious.“

@wildvine: thank you very much.

@wildvine :

the first question means, if for example i write my story now and later i want to add something to it. should i edit the post were my story is in, or should i just make a new one and write something like 'part 2' so people know its a continuation of the first story post.

Ben didnt like this environment. Each and every Eldritch was his enemy and if possible he would like to kill them the moment he sees them. He walked as fast as possible, using his aura sense to locate the woman who new more about Jose. finally after some time he could feel her presence coming out of a alleway that led to an entrance, that ones had a beautiful door in front of it, but now the only thing that was covering the entrance was an old carpet. Ben pushed the carpet aside and entered into the room. Here he met with a wave of smoke, that made him close his eyes for a second. When he opened them again, he could see a woman that matched the description, that the old man has given him. "Where is Jose?", was the first thing that come to his mind.

can i write more parts to my story or should i do it as one block?

My second question would be, should it be a kind of horror story, or can it be also just comedy?
