《Zao Ning. The Reincarnated Cultivating Dragon.》Chapter 24.1: The Meeting of the Strongest.
Advertisement
Seven suns shine brightly in the purple sky as a form made of smoke makes it back to its home.
Knowing that it is finally safe to show itself, the smoke becomes solid again and turns into a thin, pale man with pitch black eyes.
The man walks towards a castle that looms over all of the lands, showing off the power of the lord that owns it.
The castle is bigger than a mountain and seems to stretch endlessly into the sky. Stone dragons fly around the massive castle. When one roars, the air nearly tears and the land shakes violently.
The jade castle hums with power that threatens to destroy anyone who comes near it.
The person who owns all of this is the only person in written history to have reached the Immortal Realm.
Latias sits on their massive throne, conversing with 4 men who are undulating auras which are some of the most powerful in the universe.
The men wait eagerly for a certain someone to show up and give them the good news.
Soon, the man they are waiting for appears out of thin air, bowing in front of the 5 men.
The man on the farthest left who is wearing bright, golden armor is the first to speak up.
“So, what is the news demon?” the man says with disdain as he seems to have something against the demon race.
The demon known as Kalit shudders at the tone of the Never Realm cultivator.
“I-I-I found Lord Zaragnathor. He seems to be a human that has been named Zao Ning.”
The room becomes quite for a few moments and then the man on the left that spoke before begins laughing hysterically.
“That proud son of a bitch got reincarnated into a human?! What irony for someone who looked down on us humans. I, Washung Xiao would have never have seen this coming.”

The person next to Washung Xiao nods his head.
“You’re right, but this could be better than if he was reincarnated than anything else. He may have the slowest growth out of the other 5 but he has the most potential.”
The man to the right of Latias decides to put in his opinion.
“To be honest, that thing could be reincarnated as a squirrel and still have the most potential. His soul is so dense that even I cannot waver it. On top of that, he is the fastest existence to reach the Fiend Realm by 30 Realm Cycles. He was 5 Realm Cycles old, how is that even possible, not even Latias achieved that!”
The other two men join the conversation and soon a debate about how strong Zao Ning used to be emits into the room.
“Be quiet everyone, you’re giving me a headache.” a soothing voice says that causes everyone to shut their mouths in an instant.
Latias’s golden eyes shine brightly as her face is covered with a serious look. She is at the top of the realms and her word is law.
“Zaragnathor being turned into a human may be disastrous for us since he might not be able to get as strong as we need in the time we need him. It could also be a blessing since his potential could be limitless. Now Kalit..”
Latias’s gaze causes Kalit to shuddered and feel like his entire soul is being looked upon.
“Did you figure out who Zao Ning’s newest ancestors are?”
Kalit shudders for a second as he has been fearing this question ever since he made his journey back towards the Immortal Castle. Latias noticed this shudder and can feel another headache coming.
“Well, his father and their ancestors have been nothing but Cultivators in the Mortal Realm except for one who made it into the Spirit Realm. As for his mother, she is nothing but a lowly mortal harlot but for some reason, I can’t find out anything about her parents, let alone her ancestors.”

Everyone within the room was disappointed at first due to the bad news of Zao Ning’s body having no potential, but the last bit of news surprises them.
“The memory searching demon that is feared from the Fiend Realm down couldn’t find out anything about a simple mortal? That doesn’t seem right.” Someone on the right says while thinking about how strange that it.
Everyone goes quiet as they do not doubt the skills of Kalit and know that the demon would try his best or he would be slain on the spot.
Finally, an idea comes to the Immortal Cultivator Latias. An idea that is crazy and would probably change the balance of the eternal war that is going on at the moment between different universes.
“My magic causes whoever’s soul it is cast upon to go to the body that would give the soul the most potential. What if Zaragnathor, or Zao Ning as he is now called, was born not to a cultivator but a mage? Also, what if it is a high level mage?”
Everyone within the room becomes quiet as their hearts sink to the floor. The thought of having the soul of a dragon that was considered the next to enter the Never Realm and maybe even kill Latias herself in the future, while also having the body of a high level mage from the universe they are going to war with, doesn’t that seem too strong?
“Abominations have always been horrifying and some are even able to kill someone an entire realm above them, what if Zao Ning was one huh?” Washung Xiao says with a somber expression. He continues to share his thoughts with the whole room.
“Well then I’m afraid that neither universes will be able to survive the coming calamity that is Zao Ning. Hopefully we can convince him to be on our side before the Universe of the Wise can get ahold of him.”
Everyone nods their heads in agreement to this statement, losing out on of their top 3 most important pieces coming into the war would be a huge detriment and would most likely causes the Realm of Latias to lose.
“For now, all we can do is sit and wait. Knowing Zaragnathor, it won’t take him long until he is a power to be reckoned with everywhere. He first just needs to get rid of his mortal coils and set his soul free of its chains.”
Latias leaves off with this final remark before feeling an immense fatigue wash all over her. Being the only reason that a mass invasion hasn’t come upon her Realm is tiring and she wishes that the five reincarnated souls will become strong soon.

Bow of the North
In game of thrones i felt that the Starks received way too much hardships and tragedy. i know that there were vital points of story, and there were times these hardships were building points for their characters, but i feel when every member of a family has been either killed, raped or crippled then they deserve a break. In my story that break comes in the form of a powerful hunter/general from another world. I have no intention of altering the story to save every stark, or have them win every time, and some of my favourite characters may even be victims of this plot change as well. edited The main character, and there will be several new characters introduced to the storyline, will not just be some over powered guy who makes outrageous decisions that always work out (cough Plot armour) but will be someone that treats the world as a real world and has fears, doubts and is cautious in his decisions. He is susceptible to changing his mind and character traits depending on his experiences in this life. The story will primarily follow the plot at the beginning with some minor changes, and as more things change they will increase till the entire story is changed at the end. I am not copying the world of GoT exactly. cultures, politics and nobility may be changed or made up.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
