《God's Eyes 》Chapter 487: Baby girl
Advertisement
When Jason arrived above the flooded capital, that was called Kadran, Artemis left his mana core to let Solaris occupy it.
Artemis' wings disappeared before they were replaced by Solaris' replica made out of black flames as Artemis manifested right next to him.
At the same time, Jason reverted the changes of his facial features before he and Artemis dived towards the districts that were the most affected by the flood of water.
Most of the water was already flowing back slowly, but it was way too slow for Jason to remain idle.
Diving into the water, it began to evaporate due to Solaris' highly compressed flames that had a high temperature.
Grasping the arm of the man whose weak mana fluctuations Jason had perceived through his mana eyes, he turned around and shot out of the water once again, bringing the man with him.
He looked fine, and his biggest issue should be the water he had gulped down.
With his mana eyes, Jason perceived that it was not a life-threatening amount of water and that the man had only been petrified because of his shook.
Thus, everything was fine after he brought the man into one of the higher floors of the building complex that stood firmly on the ground.
Artemis had followed him with two teenage girls she had tightly grasped in her talons.
They were screaming in fright, but Jason thought that they couldn't be heavily injured if they had enough energy to scream so loudly.
He simply sized them up with his mana eyes before he rushed out of the building once again.
Time went by and it felt like an eternity as both Jason and Artemis had manifested several ice shells all over the flooded streets, allowing those that passed them to save themselves.
Right now their focus was on the weakest of the weakest that were unable to save themselves.
The old, ill, and youngest humans were those that couldn't save themselves, and both Jason and Artemis worked ceaselessly to save everyone with their utmost efforts.
They didn't even notice that several hours had passed as Jason's mana eyes were subconsciously drawn to the largest building that had collapsed.

Before, he couldn't perceive the mana fluctuations of anyone alive inside the building anymore, but just now his eyes were drawn to a specific place that radiated faint mana fluctuations.
There was something weird about the mana fluctuations because they seemed to belong to two different individuals, yet, he could only see the outlines of one small child!
Shaking his head, Jason thought that he was probably too tired.
Nevertheless, he couldn't stop now, and instead of questioning his ability, Jason decided that it was most important to pay attention to saving everyone, which included the young child in the collapsed building!
Flying through the destroyed window and hallways, he quickly appeared in front of a middle-aged couple that laid on top of the young child he had seen with his mana eyes.
The ceiling fell on the couple as the building had collapsed, and iron bars had pierced through the middle-aged man's chest who had tried to protect both, his wife and child, only to lose both.
At least that was what Jason would have thought if his mana eyes didn't tell him that the child was still alive!
This was weird, but he carefully lifted the large pieces of rubble and other objects that fell on the couple.
He perceived that the children's two mana fluctuations were slowly merging with each other which was extremely weird, yet, Jason's hands never stopped to move, not a single moment!
Only a short amount of time later, he saw the young child, who was at most one year old, for the first time.
It was a girl with black hair whose fair skin was smudged by the dirt and rubble.
Her clothes were drenched in blood, but she didn't seem to be in pain, let alone cry! This confused Jason as he had expected the complete opposite to happen.
The little girl was just staring at Jason with her distinct purple eyes that had a glint of confusion, shock, and intelligence within them.
From the time he had seen that she had two different mana fluctuations, Jason found the young baby girl to be extremely weird, and now that she stared at him without any signs of crying, he subconsciously blurted out.

"Who the hell are you??"
The mana fluctuations he perceived were still merging together, but Jason noticed that the small girl couldn't understand him, which was quite normal for a one-year-old baby.
Yet, contrary to the norms, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something before a small scream escaped her tiny mouth.
After that, the baby's purple eyes widened in shock before her small head turned down, looking at her hands in astonishment.
Jason frowned at that, but he had no time to waste anymore. There were too many people that required help after all!
Thus, he picked up the girl before he flew outside the collapsed building
'I can take care of the girl later...there is something weird about her! Furthermore, her eyes are also a trait!'
Every living being had absorbed mana fluctuations, even if one had never actively absorbed or sensed mana! Mana was subconsciously being absorbed into one's body after all!
This subconscious absorption was not enough to strengthen one's mana core rank, but it was enough to adapt someone to mana in order to unleash one's mana perception.
That was exactly why it took average talented humans 10 years before they were able to sense mana, while other races had it much easier.
The mana on their planet was much denser and purer compared to that on Argos!
Even on Argos, the difference of mana purity and density in some areas was vast, let alone Canir and the Archipelago.
On Canir, the average to start sensing mana was slightly below 10 years.
Yet, the young girl that was barely one year old had already two mana fluctuations that were not identical?
One could only have one type of mana fluctuations because they were one's means of identification and everyone's mana fluctuations were one of a kind.
Sometimes one's mana fluctuations were being altered through external factors or something that had changed within one's body as it had been the case with Jason when he had unsealed his Celestia bloodline.
Thus, having two types meant that one had two different identities which was something that shouldn't exist.
Jason's mind was rattling, and he didn't even notice that the baby girl was trying to grasp Jason tightly in order to attract his attention.
The young girl herself was not aware of what was going on, yet, she knew that it had died only a few moments earlier.
At the same time, the girl knew that she had not died in a collapsed building in the middle of a natural catastrophe, but that she had been murdered by those who she had held dearly!
After that, she had woken up with heavy weights pressing on her and a puddle of blood forming below her.
She had been unable to move or do anything as her body was much weaker than it had even been since she could remember.
Everything was confusing until memories of a one-year-old baby girl had resurfaced in her mind.
Only a moment later a young man with golden-silverish eyes had lifted the weights and picked her up.
'Why is he so big? Or am I small…? Are the memories I saw just now...reality?'
After that, the young man had brought her outside the collapsed building, where a large white owl with black horns that had a stigma embedded onto one was waiting for them.
The young man had placed her on the back of the owl that had screamed out in disagreement as Jason released his soothing aura towards her.
At that moment, the baby girl's purple eyes widened in shock as she saw Jason's eyes and stigma that glowed faintly before the aura enveloped her.
'What...kind of race is he? I can't sense anything yet...It's not enough that I've been killed by my loved ones but why did I have to reincarnate in the body of a one-year-old child too as a race that has to hide from an invasion?!?!'

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...
