Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 859
Advertisement
After waiting for a while, Julian finally headed to the airport to meet his girlfriends, when he got there he made sure that he was covered from head to toe so that no one could notice and recognize him.
But when he got there he noticed something was off, a lot of people have gathered here with cameras, a lot of TV stations, reporters, paparazzi, and many other media organization, there were also a lot of common people who are standing outside the gate being held by the security guards, stopping them from going any further.
He wondered what is happening so he got closer and found out what really is happening.
These people are here for Chloe, for some reason, people found out that she is coming and her fans and reporters are here to get a chance to talk to her and maybe get a photo with her.
He was surprised by how many people turned up, he knew that his girlfriend was big but he didn't expect her fame to reach such a level, he was happy and concerned about her at the same time, he knows how difficult it is to be famous.
Being famous brings many benefits like money and support from the public but their life also becomes very public as well, that is why Julian always hid his face, some of his lifestyles is already public but most of it is still private due to the prevention measures he takes.
He then wondered how things got leaked, Chloe has a team who make sure that things are hidden but sometimes this information leak but this was too much, how did these people confirm that she is coming here.
Somebody must have found proof and leaked it and who would do something and go to such an extent.

Julian 'Maybe it's those assassins'
He thought.
Julian [Gengar, scan the area and see if there are any suspicious person in the group and around the vicinity]
Gengar got out of his shadow and dove into the crowd and quickly found a suspicious person, this person was wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses but Gengar found a gun inside the jacket, this was clearly the assassin.
Gengar continued to scan the area and found a sniper as well, Julian was surprised by seeing this, it looks like these assassins had a backup plan as well, if the first attempt fails, the sniper should be ready to take a shot as well.
Julian [Take out that sniper and if you find more snipers like them, take them out as well]
Gengar got to work and actually found another sniper and knocked that person out as well, the person in the crowd was clearly the main person, he must have leaked the information to bring this crowd to blend it, carry the assassination and use the chaos to escape.
It was indeed a brilliant plan but too bad this man was asking for a death wish.
After a few minutes, the plane landed and the crowd started to chatter louder as excitement filled the air, Chloe's fans started to scream her name even though she is still not out of the airport, Julian noticed that the assassin is also getting ready to make his move as his hand is closer to the gun inside his jacket.
Julian smiled and wondered how will he react when he fails miserably, little does the assassin knows that he is being watched, and no matter what he does he will not succeed in his current mission.
____________________
Inside the airport, Chloe and Daisy walked out of the plane and looked around, they could hear the screams of people coming from outside the airport.

Daisy "What is happening? and they seem to be calling out your name"
She asked as she got very confused.
Chloe "Looks like people found out that we are coming, Julian also informed me that there might be an assassination attempt on either of us"
She said casually.
Daisy "What? Why didn't you inform me of this before?"
She asked. She didn't hear anything about this.
Chloe "I didn't tell you because I know you will react too seriously. Since us coming here has been leaked, it must be the assassins who must have leaked the information"
She said.
Daisy "So what do we do?"
Chloe "Nothing, let's go, it been so long since I have seen Julian, I just want to run into his arms and give him a lot of kisses"
She said.
Daisy "Me too, let's go"
They both are really excited to meet Julian, right behind them two pokemons also followed along, it's Flygon and Gardevoir and they both seem to have grown a lot.
Flygon has become a giant on his own, standing three meters tall and has a very intimidating aura, Gardevoir, on the other hand, seems to have become more graceful than before, spending so much time with Chloe and Daisy, she has become more feminine in nature which she wasn't when she was training under Julian.
Both Flygon and Gardevoir are also eager to meet Julian and they could already tell that he is very close by which got them very excited.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.

The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
