《Magus Of Darkness》Chapter 56: Plans
Advertisement
In a dark room, where the only light came from a candle on a table beside a big luxurious chair. Sat a woman in her twenties, she had dark brown hair,light brown eyes. That shifts colors depending on the lighting. Her skin was milk pale, and looked like silk. She was a beauty… but the look on her face disturbed the beauty.
That woman was Illyan Trant, a rank 2 magus apprentice and a member of the Trant family. A noble family that is responsible for a lot of the trading in different kingdoms.
Illyan was sipping on a glass of a golden lion wine, it originated in the Golden Lion kingdom. And was made specifically to the first king in the kingdom.
It was said that the first Lion King hated every wine in the world. But one day a servant mixed some ingredients by mistake and the mix was forgotten for 3 years. And one day they found the wine and it was the color of gold. After the king tasted it, the story says that he married his youngest daughter to the servant and gave him a noble status.
Of course the story happened 500 years ago so it cannot be trusted completely.
She sipped a little bit of wine, it tasted sour, but it also had a sweetness to it.
It has been three days since she met with Adrius , and in the past three days she has been staying in her room thinking about what he said and thinking about the revelation she had. Adrius was not broken, he was the breaker! He would break the world he lives in, he will break the world for his own benefits for his own power! The man was too dangerous to be kept alive! It is too dangerous to be around him even, he was too unstable. His bipolar behavior was very very unnerving, one minute he is calm and the next minute he is a killing machine. She actually felt sorry for his maid, his pregnant maid that had to live with him for the past months while pregnant. There were a lot of rumors on who the father of the child is but the maid only said that she was not allowed to say. But there was speculation that it was Adrius himself but after studying him after what they saw they knew that he was not the guy. No one knows who the father is, but they want to know. Some people even asked Adrius himself and he didn’t answer. He just walked away or if he didn’t like the way they asked it, he would beat them into a pool of blood and then walk away.

Luckily no one was killed by his rampage, but a lot of servants were permanently crippled. They were servants that asked the questions the most. They were worried about his maid and they wanted to ask her master, and from what they would find out that he didn’t like to be questioned. So they found out too late because after they found out they were in a bed and they couldn’t move a muscle from their neck down.
They were killed afterward because they were servants and the Academy didn’t care if servants were crippled or killed; they were mortals and their lives were like grass. But after that nobody asked him anything about the maid.
In the past three days she was planning to kill him, because she knew, she didn’t actually know but she knew inside of her the feeling says that Adrius will bring doom to everywhere he would go. And she didn’t want any innocent people to suffer by his actions. It was true she is a dark Magus but that doesn’t mean that she is a ruthless killer or a coldhearted Magus. She became dark magus just because dark magus are better at fighting and have more freedom than light magus. Light magus have very many responsibilities like their Academy or families and they must serve the Academy and they must serve their families and they cannot be free. They cannot do the experiments as well as the dark magus.
They cannot live the way they want, they must stick to the rules to their unwritten ideology. But a dark Magus has no rules: you can do whatever you want, you can kill, you can do experiments, you can travel and you can travel to other worlds no one would ever talk to you because no one would try to stop you. But also in the past hundred years the fighting between dark and light magus has become less and less because honestly a lot of people are tired of fighting between themselves. It was very tiring fighting about some ideology.

Her plan was to gather as many magus apprentices as she could and then lure him outside the Academy and then ambush him.
It would be hard, but her family was very rich and very powerful and they had many Magus. So it would not be very hard for her to find some willing apprentices to follow her and be on her good side and go to her family's good side so when the time comes maybe they can join her family. What’s the most important question is how would she lure him out? Adrius was known for his Love for staying inside. The only time he got out of the Academy was five months ago when he went to do a mission with Sophie Gaius. And then he never got out of the Academy. Every mission he took was inside of the Academy and it was very hard to plan how she would lure him out of the Academy.
But she had the perfect idea of how she would like them out… His maid! She was very important to him, he was very precious to him so she would kidnap her and make him follow her long enough from the Academy and then kill him and rense the world from his evil.
But first she had to gather allies, it would not be very hard but it would take a lot of time. Especially since most of the apprentices are out doing missions so she cannot gather everyone at the same time.
Maybe after she killed him should be praised by the Academy. She would have the name hero or she would have an honorable place in the Academy and everyone would respect her. She would be the person who killed the evil of the Raven academy, she would the person who killed the poison master Adrius Caseo. Just thinking about it made her smile and the look of ambition in her eyes burned with longing for the future.

Rigged

Trapped in the [Trial], John is faced with a painful reality: If he wants to live, he has no choice but to climb. And if he wants to survive for the long term, he needs to keep on climbing. Even if that means heading directly into danger. ....... Dungeon/Tower climbing premise with a progression LITRPG focus. Not extremely fast-paced. Not a Super-OP MC. Intended for those with (or those who can relate with) chronic health problems. Being written in the hopes of completing Book 1 before November 14th (World Diabetes Day) New Chapters release on Monday

Read "Arthur" Instead, this was just a trial run of writing a story, think of it as an alternate timeline if you will, since it still readable
8 198Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
8 249The Girl Who Kept Running
He ran into her at street theater.She was a force of nature, not a casual first time hire.She brought the house down with her performance, literally pulled the audience to their feet in standing ovation.Her performance was too real, unnerving, deeply unsettling to him. He spent all his energy keeping up with her.At the end of the play, she snatched her earnings from the director's hands and ran away, leaving a trail of questions behind her, the most burning one in his mind was:Would he ever see her again?____________________This ongoing novel imagines a world that our younger generations inherit after a series of successive presidencies in the same vein as the current model. There is no need for erecting walls, as the biggest divide created by humanity - that of social class - takes care of a post modern segregation. The poor are literally marginalized into slum-like townships and tend to be of color. The names of these townships would be enough to tell you their story. The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance.For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.
