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.

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.
A Hero's Hesitation
Thomas, lost in thought, took another step towards the creature. The meat, its enticing scent beckoned for him to draw closer. It was a siren's call.
The monster opened its jaws for another bite. It hesitated, and the claw tightened around the prize. It brought its nose to the air and sniffed.
Thomas alternated his stare from the jaws to the meal, then back to the jaws. Even though his instincts had overtaken his mental faculties, he stepped back. That monster was irrefutable, absolutely strong. He could feel it now, the chill in the air that seemed to punch through his body.
'I'm an idiot. Why am I trying to fight this thing, because I assumed I was strong enough?' Thomas thought. 'There aren't any bandits left to eat. This thing slaughtered them, and it's not my job to take on every monster I find. Maybe Doevm can teleport me out of here. I should just leave. Screw humans anyway. They didn't ask for my help. They don't even know this thing exists!'
