"Is it visible?"
"Yes."
"Now?"
"Still yes."
"How about now?"
"It started to get blurry halfway through the stroke."
"And now?"
"It's fully like a mosaic now. I cannot make sense of anything from it."
"Hmm," The boy then thought of something, "Why don't you see through one eye while I see through the rest? That way, we might find something good."
"Great idea," Re'Kha nodded, relinquishing control over the left eye as she looked through the right. It was odd at first before the brain synchronised the image to their respective minds.
The mosaic before her eyes flickered, flashing off with intermittent monochromatic glitches as it vanished in and out of existence. For an instant, Re'Kha was able to see the image on the phone screen. She didn't manage to get a clear view, but she could guess it was the image of a Pitruha, a race bordering northwest to her country.
"Ugh," Re'Kha grunted in pain as she clutched her head, dropping the phone as the splitting images merged into one. The headache was akin to a force that would split her head into two. Thanks to her training, Re'Kha swiftly took full control of the character, preventing herself from shouting as she gritted her teeth and endured.
Three seconds later, the pain vanished as a cool feeling swashed into her mind, alleviating her tense state.
Re'Kha quickly shut the phone, using the blank screen as a mirror to see the contents of her Quest, asking, "Can you see anything now?"
"No, I can't." The boy replied, "What was that just now?"
"I'll fill you in a moment," Saying so, Re'Kha focused on the details of the Quest.

'This is completely unprecedented.' Re'Kha clenched her head, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. The Quest was basically something that spanned until the day she no longer had access to Earth.
So, it meant she could continue on the Quest until she reaches the peak of the Harmoniser Realm. Obtaining a Quest through unexpected means was surprising indeed. Moreover, Re'Kha was assured of one fact this time: The Quest she received now wasn't because of her master's machinations. Rather, it was a result of all her choices.
'Is it because I entered from the portal in Burfuna City and arrived at Bengaluru, the part of Earth accessed by those in Burfuna City. And, I left the city and travelled to Mysore, the city I already explored four times from Burkurel City.'
'I then encountered an individual from my second Quest and received another Quest to witness the other part of my older Quest. And then, once midnight stroke, I inhabited the body of this boy, a resident of the city of Mysore, and not Bengaluru.'
'Have all these been the cause that resulted in the triggering of the Main Quest? Moreover, the fact that there existed a character that could talk while I inhabited his body. And, his cooperation with me and finally, that act with our shared vision.'
Re'Kha thought through for some more time before sighing, 'I have to think deeply about this later.'
After massaging her head, Re'Kha muttered, "It seems what we have attempted just now is forbidden by the system that governs us while on Earth."
"System? And just how does it function?" The boy expressed his curiosity.
"I'm not exactly sure about it myself." Re'Kha frowned as she said, "I haven't been able to research about it, nor have others that visit Earth."

"And why is that?"
"Well, the moment we leave Earth, we lose understanding of basically everything we learned from here. Remember that memory influx we experience the moment we look at an object here? Everything we receive from here, our understanding of it would be voided. The memory would still remain with us, but to us, it would look no different from a garbled mess." Re'Kha sighed.
Her tone then turned solemn, "But that is unless we truly understand the said concept governing them. if we fully comprehend them, we retain an understanding of that part even after exiting Earth."
"Has the people from your world been visiting ours from long ago?" The boy spoke.
"Based on our records, yeah. We have been visiting for at least a few thousand years." Re'Kha nodded.
"I see," The boy nodded, "That might be the reason Steelcraft is based on your world."
The boy then veered into his train of thought, "So, one of those from your world had inhabited a rich genius and had conversed with him, telling him about his world. Once he left, this person set out to recreate the world based on the description. At least, something along those lines."
"But, it's rare for us to be able to talk to those we inhabit. From all my visits, you're the first. And, seeing as how I didn't hear anything about this in my Clan, possibly no one has even inhabited someone who could converse with them." Re'Kha said.
"Then, what do they do while you inhabit and control their bodies?" The boy asked.
"Well, they still take control of our actions at times or change the tone of the words we wish to convey to suit their character and ego. Sometimes, they also twist our words and weave them according to their understanding of the situation. But at all times, it is like they are acting based on a template. None of them has been consciously aware of this as you." Re'Kha said. She spoke the truth, for she too was curious as to why he was an exception, and if it stemmed from her decision or if he was an innately perceptive individual.
"Wow, I always knew I was awesome. But I never knew I was this awesome, haha." The boy chuckled, "Well, thank you for your praise."
He then pulled up the image of a man on his phone, "If what you say is correct, then this individual must have been the other person like me who was able to talk with the alien that inhabited his body."
"He's the creator of Steelcraft."

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.

The Archaic Elements
A fantasy world, its own unique power-up system, some mystery aspects to make it look interesting and an MC that should make sense but well messes up, cause plot. Flashy fights. Characters will use their brain, unless it is an arrogant young master that needs to be taught a lesson. The starting is slow and maybe boring. The main MC does not desire great strength or harbor any great ambition. He starts out as a naive, lazy and a boring person. But the story does hold one aspect which will fuel the growth of our MC, which is his boundless curiosity for adventure and his will to explore. The second MC is a reincarnation/transmigration and he has a clear cut aim that he needs to achieve. His past life experiences also becomes a pillar that will help guide the main MC, while his friend also supports him. The writing is slow and steady. I will provide reasonings behind most happenings and keep it a logical story. It's a WIP as I edit the previous chapters even as I release more, so while the content doesn't change, the style and smoothness improve. The current release rate is 3 chapter/week. There is no specific date as I can get sidetracked or forgetful., but I will try to stick to Tues, Thurs and Sunday releases.
