《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"The dead end!"
The black cat Didimoss felt terrified. The power of the natural order which had descended upon him was beyond his capabilities. Even Stedman in front of him began to tremble all over.
Currently, Stedman was the real Stedman, and before this horrifying force, his meager Hallucinating spell realm was completely inadequate. Any simple wisp of the power of the natural order could kill Stedman once and for all.
Nevertheless, both knew that the determining factor was not them but Merlin!
"The origin of the natural order… I've waited far too long!"
An icy voice reverberated continuously in the Void Zone. Then, without any warning, a black mist flew out of Stedman's body and coalesced into a human form.
Merlin had finally appeared. After a few thousand years, he had finally resurfaced.
"Hum hum hum."
Following Merlin's reappearance and the emergence of his aura in the Void Zone, the huge surge of the origin of the natural order began to boil like hot water. The origin of the natural order did not strike immediately. Instead, countless power of the natural order gradually transformed into the gateway of the natural order!
Merlin lifted his eyes. His gaze was stone-cold. The gateway of the natural order had finally appeared. Due to the intensity of the black cat Didimoss' dead end, the origin of the natural order could transform into the gateway of the natural order in just an instant.
Merlin knew that behind the gateway of the natural order, lied the power core of the entire Void Zone, the origin of the natural order!
Back then, it was because Merlin had entered the gateway of the natural order, that his Illusory World was almost destroyed inside the origin of the natural order. At that time, Merlin was completely incapable of resisting the origin of the natural order.
"Boom."
The next moment, an unparalleled surge of the power of the natural order burst out from the gateway of the natural order toward the black cat Didimoss. Perhaps due to Merlin's reappearance, the black cat Didimoss' dead end was far stronger than any reversed natural order life forms. Even if the black cat Didimoss was ten times more powerful, he still would not be able to withstand it!

However, Merlin already promised the black cat Didimoss to protect him against the dead end, so naturally, Merlin would not allow anything to happen to Didimoss.
"Illusory World!"
Immediately, Merlin's Illusory World descended!
It was starkly different than before. The previous Illusory World seemed completely unreal since it was completely shapeless and invisible. Besides those who were entrapped within it, other people were unable to see it.
However, Merlin's new Illusory World was incomparably huge. Although just a tiny portion had descended, it was already incredibly gigantic, and was also equipped with powerful strength. Moreover, its ability to interact with the tangible world was vastly enhanced.
Therefore, everyone could see a misty glow wrapping around the black cat Didimoss, and challenged the terrifying power of the natural order head-on.
"Rumble."
The power of the natural order struck the Illusory World violently. However, the almighty and omnipotent power of the natural order appeared unable to subjugate the Illusory World. On the contrary, a small portion of it was confined by Merlin's Illusory World and set out before the black cat Didimoss.
"Didimoss, for a reversed natural order life form to escape the dead end, you'll still have to transform. You'll have to experience the power of the baptism of the natural order. I'll capture more power of the natural order for you to receive an inside out baptism, and escape the dead end!"
Merlin's tone was very calm but contained unshakable confidence. Confining the power of the natural order, even the Vestigial Tribe of the past, dared not boast of such an ability.
Nonetheless, the current Merlin was qualified to make this claim. This was merely the power of the natural order. Despite this apparition of the origin of the natural order was quite powerful, it was not the same origin of the natural order that Merlin had entered before. As long as it could not mobilize the power of the entire Void Zone, it could not possibly defeat Merlin's Illusory World.

However, such a large commotion naturally attracted the attention of the entire Spell Caster civilization, including some ultimate existences of the Glory Alliance. Numerous ultimate existences rushed toward them.
"Swish swish swish."
Soon, the first five ultimate existences arrived at the scene. Of course, at the lead was Wizard Augustus and Wizard Ceci from the Spell Caster civilization, and beside them were three other Ultimate Arcane Wizards, obviously the Arcane Wizards who had leveled up in the few recent millenniums.
"Who's that? Who dares to challenge the dead end faced by a reversed natural order life form?"
The three ultimate existences beside Augustus were very surprised. They had leveled up into ultimate existences in the last few millenniums, so they had a certain understanding of the reversed natural order life form, Didimoss.
They already knew that the black cat Didimoss had a dead end but did not imagine it to be so horrifying. Even more chilling was the fact that someone dared to challenge that dead end.
Arcane Wizards Augustus and Ceci, on the other hand, were filled with excitement. They stared directly at the faint silhouette in the misty Illusory World.
"Merlin…"
"Merlin is finally back!"
Arcane Wizards Augustus and Ceci mumbled softly with looks of joyousness on their faces. That silhouette was unmistakably familiar to them. It was none other than the top contender of the Spell Caster civilization, and even the surrounding Glory Alliance – the Glory Lord!
"Wizard Merlin? Can it be the Glory Lord?"
"The Glory Lord left the Spell Caster civilization a long time ago but now, he's back?"
"Before this, when Wizard Augustus talked about the Glory Lord, I thought it was exaggerated. No matter how powerful a Lord, how powerful can he possibly be? Or maybe it was because of the Glory Lord's control over the Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimensions that made him powerful. Now, I believe that the Glory Lord is the absolute number one Lord. He's a Great Lord who's more powerful than any ultimate existences!"
When the three newly advanced Ultimate Arcane Wizards witnessed the magnificent figure battling the dead end, and not at all disadvantaged, their hearts were thumping. This was the number one Wizard in the Spell Caster civilization. Although he was merely a Lord, he was more impressive than any ultimate existences. Plus, he was now battling the power of the natural order!
It was not only the Spell Caster civilization but all the other civilizations, especially the strong contenders in the Glory Alliance who were closest to Glory City had rushed over as soon as possible.
These ultimate existences were all familiar to Merlin. The Titan Giant Chronos, the Mother Tree, the Avian Monarch, and so on. Once they had noticed the commotion, they rushed here in a hurry, and witnessed this mind-blowing scene.
Merlin was challenging the power of the natural order. Not only was Merlin yet to become an ultimate existence but even a third-grade ultimate existence also would not dare to challenge the power of the natural order.
However, the knowledge of these ultimate existences was limited because they did not know the true significance of Merlin's battle with the origin of the natural order. They did not know what a miracle they were currently witnessing. A momentous battle destined to change the entire Void Zone was unfolding before their eyes…

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
