《Spectral Regalia》Prol 3 Creation III
Advertisement
Each angel, after being given the fragments by Abaddon, who had again been summoned only to return with said items, had instructed them to deliver these fragments. Go forth and bless the creatures of this world with the will of the gods. The angels, in their divine mindset, had done so, heading without question. Of course, the sigils were already formed.
Who knew what sort of change would be undertaken? Of course, no one predicted what would happen, but it seemed a being took notice of such power, and his gluttony got the better of him. This being was Orochi the eight-headed serpent dragon. This dragon took it upon himself to hunt down each angel as they traveled and devoured them along with the fragments.
Each one of Orochi's heads is gaining a power symbolizing the eight deities. The gods were furious at the creature for devouring a part of them. Septim acted quickly, as a pillar of light descended from the sky, engulfing the creature only to transport it to a prison, deep below the earth where it would not have the chance to use its newfound powers on the living. It was banished until otherwise. The gods, fearing the dragons might do such an act if they had given another fragment, looked to Septim to bind the dragons from interfering.
But Septim had already explained that, with the sigils, it was as if he was favoring them over the dragons and had angrily ordered the other gods to not give any more fragments, as he explained. If a hero and his companions shall take the challenge, then they shall challenge the great serpent Orochi to recover the fragments.
Until then, we shall not grant any more power to the mortals on a whim. The gods could not argue the logic, as it did indeed sound more exciting as well as handing their own power out as if it were nothing, was not very god like.

As time went on, the world entered a peaceful state for a fair amount of time, but humanity, as well as other races, grew bored with their wealth.
This would be called HA, the Heroes Age. The birth of a new era in 2000 was when the Beast, Human, Sylph, and even the Demon race formed a council. The main three races sought the guidance of the angel leader Abbadon, who acted as an elder and structured this council even more carefully since the demons were involved at the behest of the gods.
After praying for guidance, he was given an idea which he took to the leaders of the four races that would join. Build an academy, not for learning the way of the pen, nor the way of common build, this academy was for learning the way of magic, the way of the sword, and the way of life and death, and used to create heroes that could lead generations to come. As if related by blood to their creators, the other races were also excited by this idea and wasted a glorious amount of wealth and time to fulfill this.
Thus was born the Gaia Academy, as well as its branches, which extended to the demon, beast, elven, and human continents. This would also be used to strengthen their bonds. The sea tribe declined to join giving the excuse that they needed to heed the call of the ocean and would not fare well on land. The avians were more like nomads and loved being in the sky at all times.
At the start of the academy, all leaders of the respective races attended a ceremony located in the human kingdom. Abbadon used this as a method to keep the peace, and the ceremony went on for a couple of weeks, as it was a start of a new age.
The world had truly found peace....or had it?

Force of Will
This is my attempt at blending a typical fantasy isekai of sword and sorcery with a xianxia cultivation style. Hopefully its a good attempt. I am a first time writer, so feel free to critique me! Comments, ratings, messages whatever! I'm taking it all as constructive feedback I promise! =========================================================================================================================== There was William a bright young lad who, through his father's rigorous training starting at a young age, managed to be accepted as a Page with a potential for knighthood with enough hard work. The kid was going to go places. There was also William, fresh out of college and just aimlessly working at local restaurants and bars just enjoying life and not doing anything with his degree. Pretty much just spending his life having a good time doing whatever he wants. Obviously these are two different Williams. Or are they? Join the second Will as he awakes in a new body and discovers exactly what this new experience entails for him.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
