Slaying Monsters for Dummies
Community Rating
Description
East coast, late 2018. A handful of people with nothing in common find themselves targeted by kidnappers. It sounds like a job for the FBI, except that the criminals are not quite human anymore, and the victims find themselves wielding strange abilities.
How exactly are you supposed to explain that to the cops?
You don't. You survive, fight and strive, and most importantly you prepare, for magic is coming back and there is a world to save. And a market to corner.

The story is told from the perspective of the two protagonists.
I have finished writing two arcs and will upload them quickly, the upload rate will slow down after that. I welcome corrections and constructive criticism, in particular when it comes to inconsistencies.

- AsmoGhostRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This will be on the top trending soon. I just hope you add a few more chapters about maybe the magic training or some more of prison torture to fill out the story more.
Maybe add a little to more to the chapter where nathan meets gwahin. It was a little rushed but the story is great so far. - TechmanRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Well written Urban Fantasy story. Magic starts coming back to the world, giving some people powers and awakening magical creatures both good and bad. All this is hidden from the general populace. The story follows two people who have developed sensitivity to "the weave" and how they handle life in this new reality. Definitely got some nice Dresden vibes, though this is definitely a standalone story and world and not a fan-fic.
Gritty world with consequences. People can die or have bad things happen. But not so grimdark and tragic that there's no happiness or joy or point in even trying.
Some grammar and punctuation issues. Not enough to be immersion breaking, but enough to notice and knock off a half star.
Very enjoyable read, definitely recommend.
