《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"O' Three Arcane Wizards, so what do we do now?"
One of the Lords asked in a low voice. They were the core strength of the Spell Caster civilization. Without the twenty-seven Lords, the Spell Caster civilization could not be considered that scary.
Augustus drew in a deep breath, then said calmly, "It's simple. We can only ask for help now! Whether it's the Light God Organization or the Atlan civilization, they're a threat to many civilizations in the Void Zone. Even the Rock Tribe isn't a living race. They're extremely destructive toward dimensions. Before this, we didn't contact the other civilizations mainly because they didn't know the situation of the Atlan civilization or that the Rock Tribe would ally with the Light God Organizations. Now, those two has joined forces, and we've held the fort. This is our greatest bargaining chip and the best persuasion!"
In the Void Zone, the Spell Caster civilization was not much interested in alliances nor was they on particularly good terms with any civilization. Therefore, if they hastily contacted the other civilizations, who would be willing to help?
However, it was different now. The Spell Caster civilization was facing the collective threat of the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light God Organization which represented the God Alliance.
The other civilizations would not remain indifferent to such a coalition. These civilizations were interdependent. If the Spell Caster civilization was wiped out, it would be the other civilizations next.
Nonetheless, whether or not they could mobilize the other civilizations was something no one could guarantee.
In addition, there was one key point. Who should they send?
"Three Wizards, the candidate to contact the other powerful civilization mustn't be someone ordinary!"
Some of the Lords immediately thought of this. Currently, the Spell Caster civilization was not in a very favorable situation. If there was no reversal of fortune, and the Atlan civilization managed to devise a way to contend against Merlin's Mind Power, they would be in trouble.
Thus, they had to invite more powerful civilizations, joining forces with them to hold off the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe, and the Light God Organization.
Naturally, it was most appropriate for the three Great Arcane Wizards to put in an appearance for such a matter. Their success rate would be high. Although the current war situation appeared stabilized, a war was filled with a myriad of unpredictable changes. If even one Arcane Wizard was missing, the consequences would be unfathomable.

Therefore, the three Arcane Wizards certainly could not leave. In that case, only the Lords were left.
Lords with four Maxims must not leave as well. These Lords were a threat to those dimension-level warships, and they must not lose even one.
However, if they did not even send one powerful Lord to request help from those powerful civilizations, it would not be very persuasive.
Everyone fell into a grim silence. This matter was not that simple.
"I'll go!"
Suddenly, Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice rang out. Everyone stared at him in shock. None of the three Arcane Wizards must leave the battlefield.
However, Arcane Wizard Setoh continued by saying, "I'll use a Darkness Maxim avatar, on par with a peak Lord. He can represent us three Great Arcane Wizards, so it's only fitting."
The Lords below nodded. It was true that Arcane Wizard Setoh had many Maxim avatars. These avatars had decent capabilities and were best suited to contact those powerful civilizations.
Therefore, everyone agreed to let Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar head toward various foreign civilizations. It was just that no one noticed the hint of worry within the eyes of the three Great Arcane Wizards.
…
"Legend Glory, what you said earlier is true?"
After everyone had left, there were only the three Arcane Wizards and Merlin left in the main foyer.
The one who spoke was Augustus. A grave expression had come over the faces of the three Arcane Wizards.
Merlin was solemn as well, and he nodded. "It's best if you three hear it from the Atlans themselves."
With that, Merlin waved his hand, and three Atlans immediately flew out from his Spatial Ring.
These Atlans came from the warship that Merlin had controlled on the battlefield. Merlin did not kill them all since he needed them to operate the warship.
These three Atlans wore a special type of protective attire that was able to withstand heavy blows. Attacks below the level of Legends were nothing to them.
Only a force above Legends could harm them.
The weakness of the Atlans' bodies was merely relative. In truth, with these various defensive measures, it was not that easy to kill the Atlans.
Just like the protective attire they wore – anyone who was not a Legend could not harm them at all.

Nonetheless, faced with Merlin's Mind Control, even the best protective attire was useless. All three of their gazes were lifeless, their minds controlled by Merlin.
"Tell me, what is the Atlan civilization planning?"
Merlin asked calmly.
The three Arcane Wizards stared transfixed at the three Atlans.
"My authority is limited, and I only know that there seems to be an unusually massive plan to build a void-level warship. This plan has been going on in the Atlan Dimension long ago, only we were missing something which I don't know what, that caused its progress to be very slow. However, I heard that once we reached the Void Zone, we might locate some precious materials in the dimensions to manufacture the void-level warship. Perhaps the void-level warship is no longer just a fantasy!"
Upon hearing the words of these three, the Arcane Wizards grew more serious, their faces darkening slightly.
It was not the first time they had crossed paths with the Atlan civilization. Naturally, they knew what the void-level warship meant. It was a frightening military weapon that was a threat even to ultimate existences. It would be the Atlan civilization's greatest power!
Before this, as they were confined to the Atlan Dimension, they were unable to build one for some reason. However, if they had reached the Void Zone, and could manufacture one, it would be a disaster of inconceivable proportions to the entire Spell Caster civilization, even to the other civilizations of the Void Zone.
After all, the Atlan civilization's current greatest weakness was that they had no ultimate existences. They did not even have any forces to contend against ultimate existences. They could only hide like a tortoise in its shell within the Atlan Dimension, which ultimate existences dared not enter.
Nevertheless, if they had manufactured a void-level warship, amending this weakness of the Atlan civilization, it was terrifying to think about even for the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards!
"Legend Glory, are the words of these three true?"
Augustus asked quietly.
"The minds of all three are already controlled by me, so they can't possibly lie! Moreover, I've interrogated other Atlans as well. They didn't know about the plan to build the void-level warship. Only these three, being captains of an empire-level warship and thus having a higher status, knew this bit of information."
After receiving this news, Merlin informed the three Arcane Wizards as soon as he could. As expected, the three Arcane Wizards seemed to take this matter very seriously.
After a long moment, the three Arcane Wizards looked at Merlin, following which Wizard Setoh said evenly, "Legend Glory, do you know that your announcement of the Mind Power system today is an epochal act? If it was during a stable period of the Spell Caster civilization, we might only need a thousand years for your Mind Power system to develop to a point on par with the Spell Caster system or even greater. Of all days, it had to happen in this period when our Spell Caster civilization is at most risk."
After a pause, Arcane Wizard Setoh seemed to have made up his mind, and enunciated each word clearly, "Legend Glory, make your preparations. After three days, my darkness avatar will leave with you to ask for help from other foreign civilizations!"
"Leave with me? If I'm missing from the battlefield, wouldn't that be dangerous?"
Merlin was doubtful. Currently, everyone knew that his function on the battlefield was incomparably vital. He could not leave now.
"You're now an Honored Legend, and can condense a Maxim avatar. If you condense one, he should be able to deter the Atlan civilization and the rest. At that point, perhaps we'll already be returning with fighters from other foreign civilizations. Alright, go and prepare yourself. This is the decision of us three Arcane Wizards!"
Setoh waved his hand, firmly dismissing Merlin to make his preparations.
Although Merlin had his questions, he knew that the three Arcane Wizards would not answer him for now. He could only shake his head, and turn to leave powerlessly.
"We must defend against the Atlan civilization's void-level warship! If something happens, then Merlin might be the Spell Caster civilization's final hope. No matter what, nothing must happen to him."
As they watched Merlin's departing figure, a determined light flashed in the eyes of the three Arcane Wizards. This was the arrangement they agreed upon after their discussion.

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
