《Earth’s Greatest Magus》Earth's Greatest Magus
Advertisement
Yesterday at noon, when Emery left for his preparation.
Right at that exact moment, Gwen's figure was seen arriving at his estate in a hurry. It seemed she had something pressing she wanted to talk about with Emery, but she only found the Egyptian Queen, Klea, waiting for her there.
The two immediately got into an argument, which then swiftly followed by Gwen telling Klea her decision to let go of everything for Emery.
"I love him!" said Gwen, half screaming.
Such a controversial and thought-provoking sentence was quickly questioned by the Egyptian Queen.
"How can you be so sure that what you feel is love and not your selfish desire to own him?"
At first, Gwen was not so sure of her decision. True, she felt an untold amount of happiness when she was with Emery. However, she was not sure if she would let go of everything for him, until that night on the streets of Camelot City.
The sight of the little boy giving the bread he has to two old couples. Gwen clearly remembered the wide smile plastered on the old woman, as she shared the bread with an old man: it was pure happiness. She wanted to be like that too with Emery; to grow old with each other's company.
"Isn't that love?" Gwen asked Klea after she finished recounting the story.
Klea couldn't lie and said she wasn't moved by the story. But she wasn't going to admit it.
Gwen continued on. "I am willing to give up everything I love for him, to live a simple life with him.
In all honesty, Klea was taken back by Gwen's words. However, she asked her a question.
"Do you know what a magus is?"
"A magus?" Gwen asked, confused by the new word.

Klea had explained what Magus entailed to Gwen. She was smart enough to elaborate about the matter without breaking the restriction of not telling anything about the Magus Academy.
Gwen, on the other hand, looked speechless. Her mind was still trying to comprehend everything she just heard.
"A magus, which Emery will become, will have many enemies. Do you really have what it takes to brave this path?"
Initially, Gwen thought a magus would be the same as a wizard. Hence, she could understand this, as she had been playing hero with Emery for the last few months. However, Klea's detailed explanation about this also gave out the answer for the questions that had always been on her mind.
The question Emery strangely always avoided answering. Especially about time.
From Klea, she got the knowledge that a Magus would likely disappear for dozens of years just for a simple quest.
"Dozen of years..." murmured Gwen softly with a tone of disbelief. If this revelation made an impression on Gwen's mind and shocked her, the next fact Klea revealed shattered her.
"Magus are beings close to the immortals. They can live for almost a thousand years. As for you, a girl with D aptitude, you will never become a magus. Hence, you will never be the appropriate partner for him, no matter how hard you try."
While Gwen was still trying to process the shocking information, Klea added on.
"The simple life you seek will never happen with him. You will have a 100 times simpler life with a king than with a magus."
Although not knowing about much about her, Gwen could take her words to be the truth.
Unknowingly, tears rolled down her cheeks, along with it was her dream to live together with Emery.
Seeing the sight of the girl, Klea took pity on Gwen and decided to help her to do a proper goodbye. It was not easy for her to move out of the sideline, but she would do it for Emery.

In the middle of the sea, the ship's upper deck.
"That's it! All the things I told her were the truth! But in the end, she was the one who made the decision!"
Emery walked towards the end of the ship's deck, gazing in the direction where the Briton was. His Spirit Reading wasn't able to reach the island, but he was sure that right now Gwen was staring at him from the island.
In the end, Klea only reminded Emery's his biggest fear in her relationship with Gwen. All the danger they would face, all the time he would be away... it seemed it's true there would never be a future for Emery with her.
In addition, it would be selfish of him if he made Gwen sacrifice her everything for a future he couldn't give.
Even so, it was still difficult for Emery. His mind might be able to accept it, but his heart was still in pain.
Klea approached Emery, stood next to him and told him to just focus himself on his journey and the two friends that were fighting in Rome. It would help him to get over her easily.
Emery let out another sigh, before turning to Klea and sincerely said, "Thank you, Klea."
Klea revealed a big smile at Emery's thanks. To be honest, she was annoyed that Emery's heart was taken by that girl. However, the sincerity Emery showed towards a girl only made Klea like him even more.
'She knew him for 10 years and he was already like this. Let's see what will happen between us after 100 years... It's alright, I can be patient. After all, we have a lot of time.' Klea inwardly thought.
Emery casted [Spatial Storage] and took out the special wooden box that he still kept. Train of nostalgia hit him as he pressed one part of it and the small figure of a familiar girl came out of it. He took a deep breath as he looked at the figure. It would not be easy to let her go.
It was at this time that Klea suddenly snatched the box from him and threw it into the sea.
Emery froze when he saw the box fly through the air and fall into the water. He was shocked and dumbfounded, but his anger was stopped by Klea's smile.
"You'll thank me about this later, Emery." She then gleefully walked away and shouted, "Next stop, Rome!!"
Emery could only watch helplessly as the box slowly sank into the sea and disappeared from view. Seeing the fate of such an item by Klea, Emery suddenly remembered about a certain black headband he really should not have taken out in front of the Egyptian Queen.

It is a weapon, raised and trained for one purpose: war. Instead, it ends up broken long before the battle, losing what little meaning its life may have held. But that might just mean this weapon has a chance to choose its own fate. How should a broken weapon that knows nothing and can do nothing, live in a world of humans? A few notes: This story uses a hard magic system and is set in a somewhat realistic middle ages time period. Tagged sexual content just in case it comes up later.

8 135The Five Series - redemption
Book 1 - Redemption Three generations have passed since the last near-apocalyptic war. Civilization is beginning to thrive again at an ever increasing pace. The burden of society has been once again placed on the back of a massive robotic workforce, creating a huge divide between industrial glory, and those forced to live in its shadow. Many have stubbornly held onto the old ways of self-governance from back when the government fell, but with its return, life in Welan City is changing. Aaron, a middle-aged man, who is stuck in the rut of daily life, witnesses a murder and finds himself in trouble, love, and the middle of a highly secretive robotics project. Aaron stakes his life on helping a prototype survive, and pays for it dearly. Passionate hate, love, and indifference send life in Welan City spiraling out of control, leaving no one innocent in the end. The Five Series is, well, a series. I've completed 3 of the books so far and will finish with a fourth, maybe fifth book. Book 1 is heavy on the character development side while the following will be much more decision and consequence oriented. This story reaches into the soul of a person and the universe we live in. Some people deserve a second chance, and some do not. With that im mind, no one really ever gets what they deserve though, do they? Always tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can, they could be gone tomorrow. Would that change if you could always bring them back? I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Cody
