《Kenosis of the Light Bearer》Chapter 27 - Giant Colony Ship
Advertisement
A loud alarm rang as it passed through the entire ISTC.
“Weeeeehhhh”
It was a long and annoying sound that was almost impossible not to hear, it was obviously a warning alarm.
All the hovercrafts that were flying around quickly flew to the ground and landed in the blink of an eye. No one dared to dawdle as it was a very serious matter. If they didn’t land right away they would be risking their lives and this was not just an exaggeration. Not more than 10 minutes later the earth started to shake slightly. The slight shaking grew into tremors which increased as time went by. It felt like a soft earthquake.
Space started to twist and turn inside the force field surrounding the giant hole. The force field increased its amount of power tremendously. The color turned from a mildly translucent white barrier to a dark violet before it lit up in a bright splendor. Various patterns appeared on the force field, they were all 0’s and 1’s. They seemed to be sending information across the barrier but it spread passed the barrier and wrapped the entire station in its code.
The space that was twisting started ripping apart and more and more space was sucked into the nothingness of the twisting space. Even the force field started to tremble as it was forcefully sucked into the twisting space, but even more power was pushed into the barrier and it resisted against the twisting space.
The suction force of the twisting space was so powerful that even light couldn’t escape its grasp. The light slowly got sucked away into the twisting spatial crack creating an unfathomable darkness. It was so dark that the entire giant square looked like a flat piece of paper because no light was being reflected at all.

A small pink dot spurred into being and it grew larger and larger until it was a few hundred meters long. The pink dot seemed to be a tunnel that stretched on for all eternity. Tens and thousands of people started lining up outside the guard rail holding their bags looking excited.
“It’s coming!” They yelled.
“What’s coming?” Lucif felt his heart start speeding up as he looked ahead, “Is.. Is that a bloody wormhole?”
Scientist had often talked about the plausibility of opening wormholes in his own world but it was such a far off dream and wouldn’t ever be realized in his own life time. To live in an age where it was possible to open a wormhole was completely mind boggling to him.
A giant ship started making its way through the swirling pink wormhole as it squeezed through space. Its giant front slowly moved towards the giant hole in the earth. This hole was cut deep into the earth specifically for this purpose. It was a giant docking bay for the giant colony spaceship.
The pink wormhole closed and faded into obscurity, the uncomfortable darkness vanished and the force field surrounding the ship vanished.
“Step away from the guard rails, I repeat step away from the guard rails.”
The excited passengers quickly stepped away from the rails as the ground started to rumble once again. This rumbling originated from the walls inside the giant hole and not the ship itself. Dust and debris spread out as a dust cloud rose from the hole. Huge claws slowly reached out from the walls and locked onto the gigantic space ship, stably holding it in place. There were hundreds of these claws, all gigantic and powerful pieces of machinery.
The three of them gasped, but the other spectators didn’t seem too shocked. This wasn’t a scene that was unfamiliar to them.

The ship was so gigantic that Lucif couldn’t even find the words to describe it. He had never seen anything this large in his life. When he thought about the time he purchased the largest cruise ship in the world, the Queen Mary XII, he felt embarrassed. Because in comparison, this spaceship right in front of him clearly dwarfed his by many times.
It was two kilometers wide, six kilometers high and 20 kilometers long. It filled up the giant hole perfectly. The robot arms in the side of the giant docking bay started cleaning the ship and pulling out old pieces of metal and replacing it with new pieces.
This ship was incredible. 3000 stories high, over 25 million residents and could house upwards of 100 million. It had stadiums, fields, parks, schools, movie theatres and even public transportation through the different levels.
It was simply a city on the move. Some could even consider it a small country. Lucif was feeling impressed by this beautiful piece of engineering and science but then he saw, plastered in gigantic letters on the side of the space ship ‘Aregatta Colony’.
Lucif clenched his fist in anger, ‘Tsk, so it’s them again….The bastards from the United Colonies Association, they are the ones who own this.’
His anger had dissipated a lot since he carried out his slaughter but it hadn’t completely died off. He was a very unforgiving person. The UCA could be considered the most powerful force in the Universe and his biggest enemy. In fact these ships were the reason they were called the UCA. Each ship represented one of their many colonies, in total there were over 2000 of these mega transport ships meaning over 2000 colonies. Some ships had 10 million and others housed 100 million. Just from numbers alone it was easy to see what kind of power they held.
Thousands and thousands of people got off the spaceship, many of them were heading straight towards the ticket office at high speed.
Lucif, Aruna and Ambrosia were oblivious to the crowds of people heading right towards the ticket office because they were too busy marveling at the ship. They turned around after closing their gaping mouths and started to chat.
“We’ve been walking for an hour. Where are we supposed to go?”
“I’m not sure either, let’s ask one of these people running around.”
Lucif saw a girl running towards him so he quickly stopped her before she madly made a dash towards the ticket office, “Yes, what is it?”
“Excuse me, sorry for bothering you but do you know where we purchase our tickets from?”
“Ah, tickets? That’s all you want? Just follow me, hurry.”

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

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
