While Reo was putting his plans into motion. Nemuri finally finished her tale, Tonks was completely surprised and her mouth hung open.
[POV Nemuri(Vicky)]
"I just can't even imagine how someone can do something like this... I respected that man so much... now, that I have found out the truth... I think he is completely senile" Tonks started her rant.
"Yes, you might think that but he isn't senile... he is one behind your drugging because he wanted to control me... and because of my Lady ring he wasn't able to attack me directly so he used you. If he was just a senile bastard then he would have left some proof of his involvement but Magneto found none" I said while huffing. Tonks looked at me for quite sometime before speaking up.
"How much you trust this Magneto guy?" she asked me looking slightly interested.
"A lot... I trust him completely, even with my life" I said. Tonks nodded to herself and went to thinking.
"So what now?" she asked me after thinking a lot. I don't know what she thought about but it must be weighing on her mind. No matter... what I am gonna do now will make her want to run away.
"Vicky... you smile is scaring me..." Tonks said while backing away from me. Opps... I let myself slip up.
"I don't know what you are talking about" I said with a gentle smile on my face.
"No! I know, you thought something dangerous just now, I know you too well not to see that!" Tonks exclaimed in fear.
"Fine... fine... take away all the fun of it. I wanted to train you on Occlumency. Now, that I have told you the secrets Dumbles would be able to get them out of you. I am still working on the rings I wanted to make so you have to work with Occlumency right now" I said and a sadistic grin appeared on my face. Tonks tried to back away but couldn't because of the couch.
"Hey... Vicky... I don't think I am feeling too well. Can I come back later" Tonks asked me giving puppy dog eyes... hehehe... Tonks looked like a lamb waiting to be hunted...

[POV Reo(Edgar)]
"Are you sure that she would be here?" Amelia asked me.
It was already night and I went back to Amelia's office and brought her here with me. Both of us were currently standing over the building of Daily Prophet.
"She is a late night worker... she collects all the stories and scoops she can during the whole day and then comes back here to add spice in them" I said to Amelia. Now, how did I know that? Because I ripped the information from some random guy who has been working in The Daily Prophet for about more than 13 years. I didn't tell Amelia that because she didn't need to know, but I think she had an idea.

"Looks like your information was right" Amelia said pointed towards a blonde woman.
"My information is never wrong you know... I pay extra attention while collecting details" I said and looked towards Rita Skeeter who finally entered the building.
"Yes... of course after all you like to rip out information from people's heads right?" Amelia said and gave me a stink eye. Looks like Amelia did have an idea how I collected information. Well who cares if she knows or not.
"But how were you sure that she won't use floo?" Amelia asked me looking quite confused. I unfolded an invisibility cloak and handed it over to Amelia.
"She is a gossiper... she likes to gossip so she always travels on foot if not apparanting. For your information I also ripped this little bit of information from someone's mind" I said and Amelia muttered something about innocent people and all and put on the invisibility cloak. With my powers I was still keeping a notice of where Rita was currently in the building.
After waiting for a few minutes she was completely alone and from her position I guess this was her office. Usually I would have just walked through the place like I own it but this time I decided to sneak in because if someone saw me taking Rita Skeeter then they would know that she or her stories were compromised and I can't let that happen.
I gestured Amelia with my hand to follow him. I slowly floated in the air and made Amelia float behind me. I heard a small yelp... hehe... I will tease her later with that. Both me and Amelia finally arrived by Rita's office window. Her back was towards the window, she was happily humming some song while writing something... she must be planning to ruin someone.
Now, that I think of it the invisibility cloak was completely unnecessary. Well, it's better to have it on hand rather than needing it and not having it. I placed my hand on Amelia's shoulder and used Flash Step to teleport inside Rita's office without tripping the wards. I quickly casted my usual wards along with the strongest silencing charms and notice-me-not charms around the room. I was behind her and she was currently writing her enchantingly nasty story so she didn't notice me.
"Hello Rita... it's nice to meet you!" I said finally breaking the silence and Rita jumped up fell on her table due to the scare. She somehow managed to pull herself off and pointed her wand towards me... this was moment she finally saw me and her face paled making her look like devoid of blood.
"M-Magneto? What are you doing here?" Rita stuttered but somehow gathered her unusal journalist courage and asked me.

"Yeah... you see I read some of your stories and I thought that I should personally pay you a visit" I said while looking around her office. I didn't seem to pay any attention to her. Amelia was still under her invisibility cloak so Rita only saw me.
"You see... I like your talent and I find myself in immediate need of your expertise... I hope you can understand, right?" I said asserting the point of joining me.
"I I... I would never join a Dark Lord. Everyone will know I would be missing if you kill me... or do something to me. You can't Imperius because someone would find out and report it to Amelia Bones" At first Rita stuttered and then with a smug face proclaimed. I don't know how the brain of magical people work... they are really fucking daft...
"Are you perhaps speaking about this Amelia Bones" I said ans with a dramatic manner Amelia pulled off her invisibility cloak. Rita's eyes grew completely wide and started at Amelia with a hanging jaw.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Skeeter, I look forward to what you are going to write next" Amelia said in a stern voice.
"How?" Rita asked Amelia in a horrified voice. Did she already believe that this was Amelia... in this world anyone can change face with a polyjuice potion and she didn't thought that this Amelia could be a fake one? Yup... there is no hope of Magical Britain.
"You don't need to know" Amelia said and kept glaring at Rita.
"Fine... what I have to do?" Rita asked turning her head towards me. She must be really daft if she thinks that I would just let her go...
"Take an unbreakable vow" I said in a joyour tone this made Rita even more horrified.
"No... I won't do that... you can't make me!" Rita said looking completely serious.
"See I told you" Amelia said from my side.
"Yeah... but remember what I told you" I said and pulled my wand and pointed it towards Rita. This made Rita go pale again but the spell I casted almost made her soul leave her body. "Crucio" as soon as the spell hit Rita she dropped on the ground and started to write in pain while screaming. Tears started to flow down her eyes...
After five seconds I finally lifted the spell and Rita stopped screaming. She was still on the floor and was breathing heavily...
"I will... I will take the vow... tell me what to say" Rita finally caught her breath and whispered.
"See... pain is the best motivator" I said looking at Amelia in a happy voice showing her my point. A tick mark appeared on her head. Now... the problem was any oaths she takes using my name is useless because there is no way I am tell her my real name. I don't mind Amelia knowing it since I trust her now... but it's completely different in Rita's case.
"Amelia, I think it would be a lot better if she comes under your wing because I won't be always available so she could find a loophole and write shit about your department" I said to Amelia, at first she looked surprised but then a small smile appeared on her face. Amelia really hates Rita...
Amelia pulled out a parchment from Rita's table and wrote down the oath. Rita took the paper and made an unbreakable vow to Amelia. Amelia immediately gave her some commands that she should not write or tell or say anything related to this night to others. Amelia was a good choice as she closed off all the loopholes the bug could have used to escape.
"Now... Rita... I have two awesome pieces of story for you. The first one... you can print tomorrow... but the next should be published on 1st September" I said and I could immediately see Rita's eyes started to sparkle. I just cruciod her for goodness sake and she is like this... are all magical people this weird?
"Three new Ravenclaw Heirs are found, they would be starting Hogwarts this year, Edgar Ravenclaw, Alice Ravenclaw, and Roxanne Ravenclaw, make them appear in a nice image, I would appreciate that after all Ravenclaws are my allies" I said, hearing me Amelia wasn't surprised that Ravenclaws were my allies but she did react when I said that three Ravenclaw heirs are found.
Rita was completely different story, she was already writing down everything with stars in her eyes. She didn't even use her quick quill... surprising.
"Now, what's the next news?" Rita asked me slightly excited.
"We have to go somewhere else to get you that story" with that Amelia grabbed Rita's shoulder while I grabbed Amelia's and apparated out.
"Ha-Harry Potter!" Rita was the first one to speak up after arriving inside the Black Mansion in France.
"Rita Skeeter... I give you an exclusive interview with Harry Potter" I said in a dramatic manner to which Amelia just snorted, Sirius didn't know what to make of it and Harry just gave me a blank stare...

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev

Our story begins with a young dungeon core as he enters the world of Midgard for the first time. This dungeon core, one bound to an element known only by the strongest people within the world, starts his new life outside of the void within a secluded mountain range, far away from any kingdom. How will the world react to this new dungeon core and his extremely dangerous element? That is yet to be foretold. Book 1 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Book 2 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. The rest is available on Royal Road. If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the books. This is the first book I ever started out of my four current ongoing stories. This story has been edited through nearly a dozen times since the majority of the reviews, so take that in mind if you read through the reviews. This is a LitRPG and cultivation-based novel where the two are interlinked and the characters have to reach a certain degree of cultivation and a certain level in order to break through into the next tier. I tend to make a lot of maps for this book. I hope that you all enjoy my novel, and feel free to comment on any issues or errors you may notice. My Discord Server Top Web Novel Link
