A puff of wind caressed the sand dunes, creating hypnotic ripples on the surface. A few fine grains rose up, making the warm air even harder to breathe. Acrididae tightened his lips around the cigar in his mouth and took a long drag, as if the heat from the planet's three suns did not bother him in the least.

This story was written to participate in the Halloween Vault 2021Contest for the Adventure category. The rules required that you be within five hundred words and use the following eight: vessel, tunic, antenna, trap, mutant, cigar, insect and guillotine. 
I wanted to write an adventure inspired by and linked to another original sci-fi story of mine: "The Rite of Passanger". 
It deliberately contains tributes to some literary classics, can you spot them? 
I hope you like it and have fun.

Eliona's War 3: Lethal Healer by KurokageJS

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!

True Magician by dbelphegor

Waking up in the body of a Romani Archiman is acceptable. Getting 3rd and 1st True Magics is nice. Getting Beasts as pets - delightful. The world of DxD is unforgivable. It's a world where some teenagers who aren't even two decades old somehow mystically defeat the descendants of legendary heroes, ancient demons, powerful dragons, etc. Why does this happen? Simply because! Simply put, this world only makes sense because it doesn't. And now, I have to put up with the fact that I live here. Such pain. (DxDxMulti)
