FIG POV>
I walked closer towards the wall. The hanging cloth was rather attractive that I got a weird feeling rising inside my chest just from looking at it. But before I could even use my inspect skill, the Chief spoke. "This is the reason why they will return. This thing here raises my mood and sometimes makes me fierce. I'm definitely sure that they forgot to bring this with them and will come back for this." I nodded my head and used inspect. "INSPECT" EMBLEM: AZKATHO KINGDOM BANNER (COMMON) - A banner with the 3 colored triangles forming a trapezoid of the Azkatho royal family. The triangles symbolize hierarchy. The blazing red color in the middle symbolizes courage and bravery. Its blue color on the left symbolizes peace and tranquility. The green color on the right symbolizes prosperity and fertility. A common yet popular banner made by the citizens of the Azkatho Kingdom. AF: Increases fighting spirit slightly. There were lots of new words that I find hard to understand so I used my analyze skill a multiple of times. "Analyze Emblem" "Analyze Kingdom" "Analyze Banner" "Analyze Color" "Analyze Triangles" "Analyze Trapezoid" .... .... .... After I finished inspecting and analyzing the cloth that was in front of me. I got excited. The word Kingdom is a human thing where they have a King that will rule over all the other humans who lived within the King's territory called Kingdom. 'So this hamlet is called the Azkatho Kingdom,' I said as I made a conclusion. I wonder where the King and all the other humans went by leaving their kingdom empty. There were no traces of battle, the situation was so weird so I decided to think about it later. I looked at the Chief who was clearly waiting for me. "Chief this thing here is called a Banner. That attractive thing in the middle of the cloth is called an emblem. That emblem thing belongs to the Azkatho Kingdom which we are currently occupying, that means that thing in the cloth is a mark and a symbol of their territory." I explained my findings in a simple and direct manner. The Chief still has a question mark hanging over his head so I added. "They abandoned their kingdom Chief, that means we can make this area our new territory" The Chief nodded his head as if indicating that he got my point, he then said. "So will they return or not?" It seems like the Chief was still worried about those humans coming and getting this banner thing, well I can't blame him since he only thinks for the benefit of the horde so I will try and erase some of his doubts. "I do not know if they will come back or not but I am definitely sure that if they do, it's not for that thing," I said as I pointed the banner. "How can you say that Fig? This thing seems to be important, my gut is telling me that they will come back for that." "The analyze skill told me that this thing is common and can be found anywhere around the kingdom." *ZAP!!!! A strong realization hit me. Since this item was common then we should have found them everywhere in this kingdom/hamlet. Then why is it that the banner was only placed within the Chief's dwelling. "Chief we are in deep trouble. Those human Kingdoms are probably huge and this hamlet is not a kingdom and is only a part of it." With a worried look, the Chief responded. "Why are we in deep trouble? Stop being mysterious and directly tell me Fig." The Chief was getting anxious since he trusted me so much and my words have already saved the horde a multiple of times. "If they return, they would probably attack us on the spot. If those humans discovered that a part of their territory is currently being occupied by another race then they should be enraged. Plus the missing people who used to live here might misunderstand us as invaders making the situation more complicated since we have no information about those humans or even their numbers but there is one thing that I am sure of Chief." "And what's that?" Sweat started to gather on the Chief's head. "We will be annihilated," I told the Chief my heartfelt thoughts. The Chief was shocked about my prediction, the belief that we were now stronger than we used to be was true but us being stronger than those humans who were our predecessors was so wrong that just thinking about it reminds me of the bloody battle against those goblins. The thought of the power of that Goddess who recently descended and those humans who were actually descendants of said Goddess scares me to death. When you think about it, we were used to be raised by those humans. "Are they that strong, I don't believe you Fig, that old man in our old place was not that strong looking in my opinion," The Chief who recovered from his shock tried to calm down and think things thoroughly. "I know nothing about their physical strength Chief, they might be as strong as those goblins or stronger but that's not the reason why I said that. They are smarter than us Chief and that's scary, think about it. I'm not saying that we were smarter than those goblins since we defeated them, but what I'm trying to say is that the human King might not be as stupid as that Goblin Chief and also there are things that can make the situation more difficult than it already is. Things that I am referring to are those so called "weapons" that the goblins were using. Did you saw them, right? Those things the goblins were carrying?." The Chief nodded his head, he too was thinking about using weapons even before the mutation. So how can he not know about them? "Then what about human weapons?" "How can you be so sure that those humans have weapons and stuff?" The Chief keeps on denying reality but I am not gonna blindly believe that they don't have one since they can even make more complicated stuff like this house we are currently in. "Just look around Chief," I said as I started to move out of the Chief's dwelling. When I was near the exit, the Chief spoke in a hurried voice. "We can't afford to move Fig, the Hogs are still adapting with their new limbs and also those pregnant sows, we couldn't just leave them here and if we bring them, they will only slow us down when we start to move." The Chief followed me out of his dwelling with a perplexed look. "Then we can only do one thing Chief." END FIG POV>

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
