"What about water? Even a scoop of it can permeate the sand no matter how thick it is, let alone a huge wave, " Zhao Manyan went on.
Mo Fan nodded. He felt like a young child listening to the teacher in a kindergarten.
"It doesn't mean the truck has less force than the water, nor does it mean the defense of the sand isn't strong. It's the nature of different substances. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's attacks are targeting the plane directly, so it's useless to defend against it. Even the thickest defense will be torn apart with the plane, as there isn't any magic substance left," Zhao Manyan concluded.
"So that's why you think you can't defend against it?" Mo Fan asked.
"Isn't that obvious? Even if I try my best to defend us, it is still going to break down. Aren't we asking for our deaths if we keep fighting?" Zhao Manyan retorted.
"That means, if we can't find a solution, we will never defeat that Silver Moon Tyrant Titan, let alone the culprit of Green Sprouts Island?" Mo Fan deduced.
"Mm, the Red Pine Hunter Group wasn't weak. They must have prepared themselves, yet they lost so miserably. The main reason is because they didn't understand the Tyrant Titan's abilities. Once there are cracks in the plane, their defense was going to crack apart, allowing energy to permeate it and strike the Mages!" Zhao Manyan lectured him.
"It's really not easy to take on Ruler-level creatures," Mo Fan admitted.
"But don't worry, I've been experimenting on how to deal with Spatial Cracks after watching the fight between Baxia and Qiu Chi," Zhao Manyan went on.
"Did you find any solution?" Mo Fan was intrigued.
The spells he had encountered after he became a Super Mage varied a lot, not to mention the strange abilities of different demon creatures. It was necessary to learn a way to deal with these Spatial Cracks!

"Spatial Cracks will recover on their own. It's normally done in a few milliseconds, so if we can speed the process up and fix the cracks even quicker, we can prevent energy from permeating our defense. That way, I shouldn't have a problem blocking the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's attacks!" Zhao Manyan said firmly.
"So can you do it?" Mo Fan wondered.
"I haven't mastered the technique. I need someone's help to gather the energy nearby in a short period of time. Even a little crack will need all the energy within a hundred meters to be fixed. Judging from the size of the cracks the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan caused, we'll need to gather the energy from around three to four kilometers to fill the cracks!" Zhao Manyan declared firmly.
"Only a Domain can gather energy," Mo Fan mused.
"Yeah, you can't help me, since you must use the energy you gather to attack the Tyrant Titan, or we won't even hurt its skin. However, my Domain alone isn't enough to fill the cracks in a short enough time. We can only think of another way. If we don't solve this problem, I won't dare fight a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan again," Zhao Manyan stated.

Mo Fan wanted to go back to the inn, but Zhao Manyan insisted on having a few drinks.
Mu Bai came in a little later; Harper was with him. The civilian had shamelessly tagged along when he heard they were going to get some drinks.
"Say, aren't you two being too optimistic? Why are you drinking here if you didn't catch the Tyrant Titan?" Mu Bai grumbled when he arrived.
"We tried our best," Mo Fan replied lazily.
Mu Bai observed Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan closely, and did not notice a single scratch on them. They did not even need to change. It was obvious that they did not fight much.

"We are here to drink. Why do you have to bring up such a serious topic? Work is the same whether you treat it seriously or slack a little. It's nowhere as comfortable as having some drinks at night and talking about girls!" Harper started drinking naturally.
"Here, have some snake gall cocktail, it's good for your kidneys," Zhao Manyan gave Mu Bai a glass of liquor.
Good my ass!
-----
The four had a few drinks. Zhao Manyan also explained the Spatial Cracks to Mu Bai and asked him to figure out a plan. Mu Bai was about to speak when people started cheering nearby.
"What happened? Did Manchester United score?" Harper immediately turned around, assuming they were watching a soccer game.
"Izisha is still the same. Our country never had any problems when she was in charge of the Parthenon Temple. Even when something happened, they could easily find the culprit in a short period of time, but now, with several Saintesses competing against one another, they keep fawning upon other countries instead of taking good care of their own country. What a joke!"
"Friend, you don't have to flatter Izisha like that. It's just a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan roaming in the wild. It's not the one that destroyed Green Sprouts Island. It's too early to be praising her now. I like Saintess Asha'ruiya more… she's such a beauty with an outstanding temperament, not to mention how hot her body is."
The crowd in the bar was engaged in loud discussions.
"Everyone, it doesn't matter who we support. It's worth celebrating whenever a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan is killed. Let's drink!" the owner of the bar raised his malt beer to the whole crowd, who cheered.
"Speaking of which, who was the warrior that defeated the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan? I heard only four or five out of fifty members of a first-tier Hunter Group survived the attack..." a man who seemed to be a Hunter inquired.
"It was Tuis!"
"Is Tuis that good?"
"You mean the man who was dancing with the Saintess during the Snow Festival? He's no ordinary person if he's allowed to take part in the ceremony!"
"Here, let's give the warrior Tuis a toast!"
"Hey, why aren't you guys raising your drinks? You didn't drink when we were giving Izisha a toast, and you aren't drinking now either. What are you trying to tell us? Do you not want Crete to reclaim its peace?" A drunk man slammed his hand down on Mo Fan's table.
Mo Fan was going to tell him to piss off, but Harper immediately raised his glass and drove the drunkard away with a few words.
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan took a sip from their drinks.
"Mo Fan, you are in a pinch here. That Tuis is really a Tyrant Titan killer. Let's not worry about how he found the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan after it ran away. The fact that he managed to kill the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan highlights the difference in strength between us. Why don't you give him kowtows and admit you were wrong? Otherwise, you will seriously be separated from Ye Xinxia forever," Zhao Manyan taunted Mo Fan.
"Bullshit, that Tyrant Titan only got away because we let it go. Tuis is only picking on the target we didn't want. Our target is the culprit of Green Sprouts Island. The others aren't our concern," Mo Fan retorted instantly.
"There's more bad news. Didn't Tuis say he can locate other Tyrant Titans once he captures one? If he caught the Volcano Titan, doesn't that mean he can track down the culprit of Green Sprouts Island?" Mu Bai recalled.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.

Shadow Overseer
He never had a name. People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way. "Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain. His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself. After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy. ********** This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting. I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.

As she is titled as the Prophetic Mage. A young boy stood in a white world, there was no sun, no moon, nor darkness. He looked forward, he looked down. There were no boundaries, it was endless, nothing to indicate that there was something within the distance. He grasped his hands and looked upwards towards the sky as he lifted his hands up. A dark void appeared in front of him, but only to disappear once again. Voices entered his thoughts, pain struck his head, he gripped onto his hair and groaned in agony. He looked forward and saw an image blurred in front of him, fading in and out. “Young one... “ the blurred image simply spoke. The young boy didn’t say anything and only looked down at his wound on his chest. It was a large gaping hole that passed through him, however there was no blood spilling out from it, the veins and arteries only dangled in place where a heart was supposed to be. Realising the cause of this scene the boy asked. “Am… I dead?” “Hahaha, no not at all.” A wispy tired voice simply chuckled “Then… what do you want with a dead man… but my hands...boy?” “ Well Do you…” “Do I?” “Want to change fate?” Welcomed edits and suggestions.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
