《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"Miss, these people are of unknown origin. Bringing them home just like this is rather inappropriate."
As soon as they disembarked from the carriage, the bodyguards accompanying Ririya summoned the courage to remind her.
Nonetheless, Ririya appeared completely unconcerned, saying evenly, "Could they be of any threat to Father? Other than those full-shifting formidable existences, who else can threaten Father? Please be rest assured, I've met these people on the journey here. They look up to Father and wish to join the White Rajah Army. I only want to introduce them to Father and let him decide if they should go or stay."
Ririya seemed to feel a sort of blind adoration toward her father. She did not know that her father did not enjoy such a good reputation in the outside world.
Seeing that Ririya had set her heart on this, the bodyguards could do nothing. The White Rajah was extremely doting toward Ririya because she was his only daughter. Almost everything went according to how she wanted it. These bodyguards could only go along with Ririya's arrangement.
"Alright, bring them to Sir himself and let him decide."
The bodyguards simply did not wish to bear any responsibility. It did not necessarily mean they were devoted to the White Rajah.
Thus, Ririya returned to the carriage and said to Merlin and the rest, "All of you, come down then. Have a good look and tour around our White Rajah City. Later, when you've joined the White Rajah Army, you'd be under strict discipline and won't have much chance to enjoy the city."
Merlin nodded and exchanged a look with Cerberus, then said calmly, "Let Shiya, Iza, and Monty come over."
Cerberus shot him a respectful look and shrank his body, vanishing noiselessly. The two bodyguards who were protecting Ririya changed their expressions.
Initially, they had thought that with their strength, they could deal with Merlin and the rest. However, now, they discovered that they had overestimated their abilities. Fortunately, they were already in White Rajah City. If anything happened, the White Rajah could hurry over instantly.

"Shiya, have you detected the White Rajah?"
Merlin asked Shiya, who could control flora. In terms of searching and tracking, even Merlin could not compare to her. After all, Shiya's almighty beast had a very different specialty.
Shiya lightly shut her eyes and sensed things for a moment. "The White Rajah is in White Rajah City but there's a problem. He has a visitor."
"A visitor?"
Naturally, Merlin knew that the visitor Shiya spoke of was certainly not ordinary. Otherwise, Shiya would not have mentioned it at this moment. This visitor must be a hindrance to their mission.
"It's the Tyrian Rhino King!"
Shiya declared somberly.
Merlin frowned slightly. The Tyrian Rhino King was like the White Rajah, both generals under Doomsday. They each managed a city and their capability was more or less on par of each other, infinitely close to a full-shifter.
One White Rajah was difficult to handle, much less two. Therefore, Shiya and the rest were somewhat worried that this mission would not be completed smoothly.
"With the addition of the Tyrian Rhino King, although the variables are altered, it shouldn't be a big change."
After Merlin had contemplated for a moment, he felt that even though the Tyrian Rhino King's presence was an additional variable, Merlin should still be able to handle it. They did not have to change their current mission.
The rest nodded. This mission was led by Merlin. Furthermore, having witnessed Merlin's formidability, of course, they would not distrust Merlin's decision.
"Follow behind Ririya and don't talk."
After Merlin spoke, he quickly strode forward and followed behind Ririya.
White Rajah City was massive. Ririya brought Merlin and the rest on a trip throughout the city center, explaining the works to Merlin in high spirits. Nevertheless, Merlin was not in the mood to listen to her sharing. He was always observing the surrounding situation. He only relaxed when he saw that the White Rajah truly did not know of their identities.

At first, the plan was to stealthily infiltrate White Rajah City and patiently look for a chance to deal with the White Rajah. Now, with Ririya's appearance and her "assistance", Merlin and the rest could immediately meet the White Rajah. Naturally, they did not have to go through so much trouble.
Still, there was a certain risk. Once their identities were exposed, this might turn out to be a trap. Therefore, Merlin appeared to be cautious.
"Leon, let's go. We've seen almost everything in the city. I'll bring you to meet Father."
Ririya had finally completed the tour around White Rajah City. Merlin saw that she was still in high spirits. What an innocent and unaffected girl. However, a girl like this in this chaotic world, was nothing but a tragedy.
Once she lost a powerful support like the White Rajah, Ririya would end up being miserable. Although Merlin felt somewhat sorry for her, he would not give up on killing the White Rajah because of this.
Thus, with Ririya leading the way, Merlin and the rest quickly came to a gigantic ancient castle. Its interior appeared to be empty but Merlin could sense that some contenders were hiding in a few concealed corners. The White Rajah's safety was important too.
"Haha, Tyrian Rhino King, you've lost again."
As soon as they walked into the castle, they heard candid laughter. Soon, a huge elephant and a rhinoceros seemed to emerge in the sky, engaged in a tussle. From the looks of it, the elephant was gaining the upper hand.
"The White Rajah and the Tyrian Rhino King are exchanging pointers."
Shiya closed her eyes and sensed for a moment. As long as it was a place with plants, one could not hide anything from Shiya.
Merlin stared at the almighty beasts' apparitions in the sky. They were powerful indeed but there was still a gap between them and true full-shifters. They were similar to Orsato. Even if they had special tricks, they would not be very much stronger.
Having learned about the exact capability of the White Rajah and the Tyrian Rhino King, Merlin felt much more relaxed, secretly warning Cerberus and the rest to not act rashly.
The only one who could contend against the White Rajah was Monty. Even so, Monty could only just about take on the White Rajah head-on.
"That must be Uncle Tyrian Rhino King. He's Father's best friend and often comes here to swap pointers with Father. However, he'll lose every time."
When Ririya saw the two apparitions of the almighty beasts in the sky, she spoke with a smile and wore a proud look. Since young, the White Rajah had always been Ririya's pride. It was to the point that her father, the White Rajah, was the greatest person alive in her heart.
"Follow our initial plan. The four of you restrain the Tyrian Rhino King. As for the White Rajah, I'll deal with him myself!"
Merlin used a special method to communicate with Cerberus and the rest. Ririya did not hear him at all. The Tyrian Rhino King was not worth anything, simply being an obstacle that they must pin down.
As for the White Rajah, he had the gold key that the royal family required. Merlin was also interested as to what this key was used for, and what secrets it hid, so he wanted to deal with the White Rajah himself.
Cerberus and the rest furtively nodded. With Ririya leading the way, Merlin and the rest came to a field behind the castle. Currently, the field was in a mess, with holes all over the ground. A huge battle had just taken place.
Standing on the field was a man who exuded a mighty presence. This was Merlin's target – the White Rajah!

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.
