《Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness》Chapter 66: The Arrogant Older Scepter
Advertisement
The hole wasn't regular in shape, as it was formed by the collision between the cannon shot and the cruiser's body, and yet it was wide enough for a hundred men to pass through it side by side.
Or a part of a little cruiser to enter through it like what just happened right now. The appearance of this cruiser was sudden, which caused the ongoing fight in this place to stop abruptly.
Before anyone of them got any idea about this cruiser, the door of it was opened as a man appeared there in front of everyone.
He was Rigo, and he held the scepter in his hands. He didn't stand there motionless, the moment he appeared was followed by the moment of him throwing out the scepter.
He threw it towards James, who didn't delay to issue the order to the scepter.
"I won't let any of you traitors get it," Ricaro yelled as he jumped to intercept the scepter.
"This scepter is mine," the Immortal yelled back as he jumped to catch the scepter.
"You two stay away, this is my weapon, not yours," Dora's mother said as she directed her spear towards the two of them.
'Paralyze them and start merging with your brother now,' James ordered the scepter.
Everything happened simultaneously, and in no time all the forces here began to act. The three fighting enemies didn't even consider the possibility of James joining this race and struggle for the scepter.
They wouldn't even imagine all this was his plan, and they were all just pawns in his hands.
'I will free you, and you have only two minutes max before the paralyze effect wears out,' the scepter said to James as it began to move and hit the three enemies at unparalleled speed.

A light was shot towards the three, and then all of them stopped moving. This wasn't all, as the scepter they were trying so hard to reach changed abruptly its course as it headed straight towards them with increasing speed.
In a flash the scepter hit them, and in the next second the scepter was gone carrying along with him the four weapons which were in their hands just now.
They were paralyzed, disarmed, and all this happened because of another force they never thought of. Their eyes were focused now on the spot they all ignored minutes ago.
In front of them, James was set free from his restraints, the same that was now preventing them from moving. At the same time, the scepter moved with a flash like speed towards him.
"That's impossible, he had the dark scepter and now he is having the light one," the Immortal suddenly muttered as he was sure of what was going to happen next.
His mind, like the other two, had already guessed what was going on. James wasn't a prey to the scepter effect like they all wrongly thought, the scepter was James' toy from the start.
Having a weapon like that wasn't a strange thing, but having two opposing powered weapons like now was an anomaly.
Before any of them could say anything more, the scepter hit James' body and then it disappeared. It vanished from their sight along with their weapons, which were now acting like tonics for the two scepters.
'Welcome brother, it's good to finally meet you,' the first scepter said.
'Welcome? Let's set rules before getting friendly with each other. This body is mine, and the final scepter will be also mine,' the second scepter said with a sharp loud tone like it was shouting angrily in a fight.

'Listen you two, this is my body and you two are my weapons. If any of you have any second thoughts, then I will throw myself in the space and we all perish and be forgotten.'
James didn't like the way that second scepter talked, so he had to separate part of his attention to deal with it. He aimed for gaining strength, but having uncontrollable strength was even worse than having nothing.
'Since when you have a saying here?' the second scepter arrogantly said.
'I'm dead serious, if you don't comply now I will throw myself into space where no one could find me. let you two be left in oblivion for eternity,' James ruthlessly said as he fell over Dora's body.
He didn't waste time as he began to untie the restraints that cuffed Dora's hands and feet. Dora was eyeing him with a weird look, as her mind wasn't yet able to believe what was happening now.
"Listen to me, if I didn't give you the signal, I need you to leave after taking Dora."
Jaes suddenly whispered softly. Dora understood he was speaking to his man, Rigo. She guessed that when he gave the order to kill everyone on her little cruiser.
And yet she didn't feel anything, not yet. This statement wasn't directed to Rigo, so James totally ignored the confused reply from him. his focus was entirely over the two scepters inside him.
'Listen well big brother, he isn't like anyone we have ever met before,' the first scepter said.
'Don't tell me that, he is just like anyone else, a weakling who can't withstand our two powers. If he isn't able to contain us, then he isn't worthy to control us,' the second scepter arrogantly said.
James noticed the similarity of these arrogant scepter words with the words that Immortal just said. He knew he had no time to waste, as the metallic restraints of Dora were really stubborn to be opened easily as he thought.
So he continued pulling the restraints in a try to free her hands while he said:
'Either way you aren't allowed to control me, this is my body and I have the final say here.'
'You are dumb foolish weak creature who thinks he can control our powers without getting blown. This is out of question, and you have no control over it. The merge is already starting and then none of us will have a say to what it will yield,' the second scepter arrogantly replied back.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
