《Rise of the Lich!》Prologue Part 2: Cold Flame*
Advertisement
I think I'm dead. Actually I'm pretty sure I died, wanna know how I can tell?
'Status'
…
Nothing is happening. Yeah, that proves that I'm dead. 'Status' is a very powerful, yet simple magic spell, which can be used by everybody (especially since it doesn't cost any mana). It doesn't even matter in what situation you are. Even if all your bones are broken and your organs are missing, you can still use this spell.
But right now, I can't.
Yeah, I'm dead.
While pondering and thinking about more stuff that could prove the end of my miserable mortal life, a bright light appears. So that's the 'light at the end of the tunnel', huh? Well it certainly is bright and warm. So warm. What a pleasant feeling. I slowly drift to this light, but then I fell something else. Coldness. There is something cold behind me, something cold that feels very familiar. I turn around and see a small, cold and black flame.
Ah...
My hate.
I try to reach my flame, but small tentacles made out of light grab me and pull me away from it.
“Stop, small soul! If you continue on your path there will be no salvation! There will be no love, no warmth and no happiness! Only the cold of hate will await you!”
… is that so? So I have to either give up salvation or my hate?
…
Fuck you. I will not betray my emotion. Betraying my hate would betray my wife and daughter! There is no way I can do that!
I struggle and after a while I manage to break free and reach the flame. In an instant the flame bends toward me and starts burning whatever form I am in right now.
Oh it feels so cold...

After a bit it seems I was completely consumed and my consciousness kinda changed places as I become the hate. Then, something interesting happens.
Requirements for 'Path of the cold soul' fullfilled.
Have fun on your Path to true darkness, Cold lord. ___________ Note from the Author:
Another very small chapter, but don't worry readers (If I even have any) from now on the chapters won't be as small from now on. I plan for the chpters to be around 2000 Words long (without the tables) Have fun reading! (I really wonder if anyone is reading this)

Warmage: A Progression Fantasy
As the daughter of a renowned War Hero, Shaya was destined for a life of heroism and glory. A life she desired more than anything else – until her mother sacrificed herself for the cause and the very Empire she died for stole Shaya’s dreams from her. Cunning and resourceful, Shaya worked hard to keep her and her brother safe, clawing themselves out of a system set against them and gaining the power they needed to find their way in life again. Now, she’s achieved the first step of her dreams: she's been accepted to the prestigious Imperial Academy of War and Magic. In order to become the best gods damned Warmage around, all she has to do is overcome the Imperial system that wants to see her fail and control the demonic blood in her veins that wants for nothing but rage and violence. ...but hey, every obstacle is an opportunity to exploit – if you’re willing to think smart and work hard. Updates Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday![successful participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Rating: This should align pretty closely with your typical MCU movie, so PG-13 for scenes of fantasy violence. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. MC: Shaya is analytical, but begins the story emotional and impulsive. She leans towards rationality and uses this to control her demonic impulses to the best of her abilities. She begins the story as a somewhat capable protagonist, but grows in power steadily through hard work and diligence. Fights: ...I like fight scenes. They’re going to be detailed, but I won’t drown you in description of individual hand movements or footwork. I like fights that can be solved like puzzles by the audience, where creative thinking wins the day using tools you know the protagonist has at their disposal.
