《The Supernatural Case of an Accidental Time Traveler》Beginnings - Part twenty-Eight
Advertisement
“During the time of King Arthur and the original knight of the round table were all alive a masked man was found in a small village that had been attacked by monsters. He had saved almost all the villagers and had turned over three-hundred creatures to dust before my father and his knights could arrive.” She said.
“Well that’s impressive. Was he a sorcerer or something?” Scott asked.
“No he was not. He was only armed with a blade.”
“Then he must have been something.” Scott replied.
“He was, King Arthur took him to Camelot and knighted him. He then moved up in rank very quickly, doing any manner of mission for my father. Until one day my father asked him to join the round table and take the place of Lancelot who had recently commited treason. The Masked Man accepted and was granted the Blade of Truth with this promotion.”
“And what is the Blade of Truth? I don’t know that much about this kind of thing.” I asked.
“It is a sword that could summon armor that protected you from magical attacks and the sword itself had no blade. It could cut through things based on your willpower.” Mordred explained.
“So it’s an anime protagonist's blade?” I replied. Both Scott and Mordred looked at me with blank stares.
“I don’t know what that is.” Mordred said.
“Neither do I, maybe it’s future talk.” Scott agreed with a shake of his head.
“Anyways, after becoming a Knight of the round table all of the Knight under my father’s command went to fight against a horde of creatures. Once they were finished Arthur went to talk with the Masked man alone, Merlin found my father stabbed in the back while the Masked Man had disappeared. He had gained King Arthur’s trust as well as every knight in Camelot then assassinated him.” She finished. Then Merlin had finally given up on Elysif and walked over.

“There was not a single footprint near his body except the ones from before and I couldn’t track him with magic. It was as if he disappeared into thin air.” Merlin said in a somber tone.
“What else do you know about him? Because most people at the Agency only know a little of what you said.” Scott asked.
“We know he is practically immortal as he keeps showing up every so often to attack us and then he disappears without a trace for a while.” Merlin replied.
“Why do you think he’s immortal?” I asked.
“Because the mask he was wearing is cursed to be unable to take off and once the host of the mask dies the mask turns to dust. I only know that because he asked me if I could examine it when he was a knight.” Merlin spouted.
“Then how does he eat?” Elysif interjected.
“The mask could conform to its owner's needs and would open up so that he could eat. Of course he also used it to give himself the most disturbing smile in order to scare his opponents. The only thing it couldn’t do was reveal his face or be removed.” Mordred said.
“What was he like before he betrayed you?” I asked.
Mordred and Merlin looked at each other then looked at the three of us. “You could say he was a kind person who I wish I had gotten to know better.” Merlin answered.
“I could say the same, he was kind and I was almost betrothed to him. I wouldn’t have been unhappy with it if that had happened but I was not ready for a life like that so I rejected the betrothal. To my surprise at the time he was mature about it and told my father that he would not go against my wishes.” she said blushing a little. “But now I see that he didn’t wish to marry me because he was planning to kill my father the whole time.” She said angrily.

“I can see that that is a touchy subject. I won’t press on.” I said.
“Well, at any rate we have discussed all we needed to so please continue on with what you were originally intending to do.” Merlin said.
“Alright, thank you for seeing us Concil, Head Concil.” Scott said with a bow. Before walking towards the door. Elysif and I followed in suit. We got past the door and it automatically shut behind us showing the emblem of the dragon and the feather pen. Which now made a lot of sense. It literally meant Pendragon.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
