《Evolution: A Warlock’s Rise To Power》Evolution: A Warlock's Rise To Power

The driver stopped at a gated entrance and had to check in with security to gain entry into the neighborhood where Brax's family lived.
They drove for 10 minutes, passing mansion after mansion before the car turned down a driveway and came to a stop in front of a large estate. It wasn't the biggest house they passed on their way in but damn, it was a huge place for a family of four.
As Brax got out of the vehicle a silver sports car came to a stop behind them.
"Ahhh! BRAX! I missed you so much." Yelled a short, fit women who got out of the driver's seat and almost tackled him to the ground. "Why are you standing so tall? Bend down and let your aunt give you some kisses."
Brax knew better than to argue with his aunt. Reason and logic didn't stand a chance against her so of course he wouldn't. After being showered with kisses she gave him a hug and refused to let go. When she eventually did, she started hitting him with all her might, which wasn't much.
"You punk, how could you make us wait so long to see you?"
"Aunty, I am here now, right?" Brax said, trying to placate her.
"You butthead. We both know that if that pretty girl didn't move in down the street you wouldn't be here. Oh well, since you have finally come, there is no point in leaving."
"We will see."
"Yes we will." She said confidently.
Lucan grabbed his bag and followed her. She didn't walk up the stairs to the house but to the side, and went around the house.
"Don't you worry, your uncle and I prepared for you a long time ago. Oh, and I made sure to get everything you asked for yesterday."
She led him through a garden to small house that was off to the side before handing him a key. "This is your place now. It's probably a hundred times better than your crummy apartment. See, there is no point in leaving, and I won't let you anyways."
She let Brax unlock the door before pushing him aside and showing him around.
The guest house had a massive living room with 3 different bedrooms off of it. One of the bedrooms had been transformed into a gaming station that had an even better capsule than the one he was using at home, beside that was a brand-new computer that was already hooked up to it.

"How is it? Everything is nice, right?"
"Yeah its better than the stuff I just bought at home."
"Ha, great. I knew it was a good idea to show you this room first."
"But aunty, why are their two capsules in here?"
"So you can play together with your little girlfriend duh. Your uncle told me that the capsules can be hooked up together to allow a private chat while playing."
Brax shook his head. "I don't have a girlfriend."
"You just let me take care of that."
"No way, you will just scare her off, this is crazy."
Marie rolled her eyes. "You will thank me when she comes over and plays with you."
Next she took him to the master bedroom. It had a king size bed. Lucan opened the closet to put his bag inside to find it filled with clothes already.
"I didn't know what you would want to wear so I got a bit of everything. Socks and underwear are in the dresser by the wall, and in the night stand you will find protection in case your lady spends the night." She said while elbowing him in the side.
"Aunty!!! I don't need that."
"What, you want a kid before you're married. You're such a rascal, but you won't hear me saying no to grand babies"
Brax was speechless as she dragged him into the bathroom to show him a shower that was bigger than his apartment's bathroom. There was also a big soaking tub sunk into the ground. "The perfect size for 2." She said while nudging him again.
At this point he couldn't even say anything to her.
She took him to the basement next. "It's the perfect gym for you, I had some movers arrange all the work out machines your uncle never touches and I got you a tread mill and bike so you can get your body in tip top shape so your lady friend can enjoy a bit of eye candy. And look what we have back here." She said while opening a door at the back of the gym.
Inside was a large hot tub and a sauna at the other side of the room. "This is the perfect place to-."
Brax cut her off. "Let me guess, it's the perfect place if the bathtub isn't big enough to play around."
His aunt covered her mouth while giggling. "Are you always so perverted, I was going to say it's the perfect place to relax after a hard workout. You're so bad." She said while playfully hitting his shoulder.

Brax could only shake his head as they went back upstairs.
"You still have a license, right? Well I put a couple cars in the garage that's behind that door." She said while leading him to the kitchen.
"Have you been eating well?"
"Umm, I-."
"Don't lie to me now."
"No, not really, mostly cup noodles."
She pulled open the fully stocked refrigerated and started grabbing ingredients.
"Let Aunty fix you up a good lunch. It's just you and me here for now, but everyone will be home for dinner. You sit there and tell me all about this girl while I cook you up something healthy to eat."
Brax didn't bother arguing, he knew better, so he did as he was told.
"Well, her name is Jenna…" He started telling her all about Silent. He talked while she cooked. Then she asked a million questions while he ate. Brax answered her questions while he washed the dishes. By the time she left he was worn out and plopped down on the couch.
He had to admit it was a really nice place. It made his apartment seem like a real crap-hole, and he hadn't even seen the main house yet.
***
At dinner time Brax walked over to the main house and knocked on the door.
Marie answered.
"What are you doing knocking, come on in." She said, dragging him inside.
"KIDS, GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE, IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" She yelled.
Her small frame produced a loud voice that carried through the whole house. Brax could hear the sound off footsteps scurrying down the stairs.
""Brax."" Derek and Chris shouted while coming down the stairs and tackling him with hugs, much like their mother.
Derek was in his last year of high school while Chris was in her first year.
"It's good to see you guys, I missed you."
"Mom was telling us you know Heaven's Kiss and her sister. You have to introduce us." Derek said eagerly.
"Or at least get us an autograph." Add Chris.
"You can meet them later. It's time for dinner." Marie said while ushering them into the dining room.
As they sat down Brax's Uncle Bo came in and sat at the head of the table.
"Good to see you finally made it." Bo said while a maid brought in a pushcart filled with several dishes and began to set them on the table. "But we need to talk." His Uncle said with a frown.
"Uh oh, someone's in trouble." Chris said with a teasing smile.
"This is serious." Bo said before tossing a business card on the table. "Why are you lying to one of my subordinates. Your aunt should have told you there was no issue using the plane. You didn't have to do that."
Derek picked up the card and laughed. "World Conqueror Industries, ha, ha, ha, what is this?"
"I-." Brax tried to explain but his aunt started talking over him.
"What did he do?"
"Your nephew was embarrassed about using the plane so he made up a story about being a tycoon so the others wouldn't look down on him."
"Brax, I told you there was no issue with the plane, why did you do this? Do you think you will be able to get that girl by lying like this? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you should know better."
Derek was almost falling out of his chair from laughing so hard at the name, when Chris picked up the card she started to giggle.
"But, it's not like-."
"Don't worry if you think she wants to date a guy with money, well, you live here don't you?" His uncle asked.
While Brax enjoyed his quiet and peaceful like in Chip city he would be lying to himself if he said he didn't miss this loud and boisterous family of his.
*BANG*
Brax slammed his hand on the table, silencing the room.
With a smile on his face. "This tycoon is the Lord of a territory in the shadow realm and struck gold, well not gold, but mana crystals. So far this month I have already sold 80 million dollars' worth of gold through gold vendors in Evolution and last month was even better. I didn't tell Dill any lies. Now come and praise the president of World Conqueror Industries."
"Really?" Bo asked with a shocked expression.
"Really."
"Ha, ha, ha. Well damn, I got myself a tycoon nephew. Looks like I need to start consulting you for work."
"You can have your people contact my people." Brax said while picking his business card back up and tossing it to his uncle.
With this the table burst into laughter.

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.

The Joker, The Trickster, and the Magician
Wolfram Sakimoto, an infamous criminal, was about to be executed in a secret military facility only to survive by a sudden earthquake that struck the whole world and turned it upside down. With the appearance of strange and absurdly powerful monsters, humans started their final struggle to survive this tragic calamity. Wolfram, however, found joy and not despair in this drastic change. A lunatic on the loose, without any morals to uphold, only his thirst to battle the strongest. PS: This story has a relation with RE;Hell Gate and Once Human, Now a Parasite. The Protagonist is eccentric, to say the least, so don't expect any heroic dude. He can be a madman and a hypocrite, if that is not to your taste, then this isn't a story for you.

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.
