《Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness》Chapter 20: The Mad Immortal
Advertisement
Charles was about to take one step away when he felt a burning pain suddenly on his left side of his chest. He smelled the odor of burning meat, so he looked towards his chest to find a small hole in it.
His clothes were burned on this area, with some dark marks over its edges, from this mess in his clothes, he could see this wound which penetrated his body from the back. He was shot, shot silently without warning from behind. He turned to see Dora holding up her gun and faint smoke was rising up from its barrel.
"W…Why?!"
This was the last word he said before he dropped on the ground motionless drenched in a small pool in his blood. Dora hid her gun in his clothes before saying without any emotion:
"This is the first time my master failed to see the truth about someone. How unfortunate, the praise my master gave to you made me feel I could get another worthy hand I could depend on, but you turned out to be this rebellious, how unfortunate."
Dora then looked towards her men, whose faces were calm. It was an unspoken rule in their long history group; no one should leave them, if so he would be killed in cold blood. This was a safety measure against any possible future betrayal from their members.
"Our target is a device created by this immortal, we all know about his vast knowledge and his love for technology and his obsession with making new creations. His new creation now is some lethal weapon directed at those who had any good or evil seeds.
This device mechanism is unknown to us, but from the evidence we found back at the scene of the Goyat massacre where over ten thousand innocent kids were slain in cold blood, this device causes a state of coma to these kids.

We don't know yet how to antagonize its effects, but I believe if we manage to destroy it we can release these poor kids from their misery."
Dora looked towards her men then she continued:
"What we know for sure that the Ravner of light had complete control of the Terasoras space ship and all that's related to it, including a special zone for external contact with the universe. At this zone, they held many innocent kids who they suspected had the seeds of good inside them.
They did exactly what that mad man wanted, and now he is going to butcher all of them like sheep. Our target is to infiltrate this zone, search for that immortal's men and there we will find that device and destroy it. We will also rescue all these kids from the hands of the Ravner of light and then escape from there."
Anna spoke expressing her doubts:
"This mission is very big for us, princess."
"I know, so I have pushed my lazy mother of mine to send some troops to attack this zone."
The looks of Anna changed to show a surprise, as she asked:
"How did you manage to convince her? She is really stubborn, and if she got wind of any relation of this mission with the phoenix guardians she wouldn't agree to help."
Dora sighed as she looked towards the distant horizon as a faint picture of someone appeared vaguely in the distance. She took a deep breath with it that image disappeared as she said:
"I just gave her some wrong intel about the presence of imperial troops there doing a big trial over a grand weapon. You know how she deeply hates this empire, so she won't hesitate to send the whole fleet to attack there."

Anna looked towards the two groups of cruisers that were there, one belonged to the rebels while the others belonged to the rogue space adventurers. She got the whole plan of her princess, who she admired a lot, then she said:
"You plan on using all the cruisers here?"
"Yes, we will divide into two groups; one will be led by me as we will join the main force attacking this zone, while you will be the leader of the other group. Your mission is to find those maniac's men and destroy that weapon, while the rescue mission will be handed to my group, understand?"
Dora didn't just ask Anna, but all of her men. She handpicked most of them, while the rest of them were recommended by her master or friends of his. She trusted them all, as they went through hell with her in the last few years when she took the leadership of this group after her late father. Dora then said:
"As far as I know our troops will arrive near that zone in less than half an hour, so it's time for us to move."
Everyone then started to say in a strong belief:
"Rain clears it all, clears the past, the loneliness, the sadness, the wounds, the pain, and the sins, but not our sins. We once lost our goal, failed our mission, and let the whole universe down.
Our ancestors failed, but we failed so we can learn to rise again from ashes, Phoenixes we are. We are the guardians, the protectors, and the last wall standing against the apocalypse."
Dora then muttered to herself in a very low voice that was hardly heard from everyone around her:
"Rain clears it all, clears the past, the loneliness, the sadness, the wounds, the pain, and the sins, but not our sins. We once lost our goal, failed our mission, and let the whole universe down.
Our ancestors failed, but we failed so we can learn to rise again from ashes, Phoenixes we are. We are the guardians, the protectors, and the last wall standing against the apocalypse.
Don't let our ancestors' mistakes cloud your judgment, your trust, and your beliefs, as one way or another I intend to end it all here, in my lifetime. I will live like a phoenix guardian, and vow not to die before I fulfill my mission."
Her own words weren't a surprise to her men, as she had always said this code, which seemed like an oath since her first mission ever. They knew how the shock she took by her father's death, and so they understood her feeling and determination.
She wasn't saying these words to them, but to herself, as she marked her big sudden loss with this oath, which made her always remember her father and why he was killed. Dora squeezed her two fists while she muttered to herself:
'I swear I will kill this murderer and avenge you, father, even if it came at the expense of my life.���

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
8 127Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
