《Wavebound》Arc 2: The Story So Far
Advertisement
Ruyo was a small-time merchant hauling her wares east through the forest. Near a stream, she discovered a cave containing the forgotten shrine of a water deity. An ancient spirit named Nusina made contact with her and begged her to "claim" the place. Ruyo agreed, but didn't realize quite what that meant: becoming the replacement water goddess! With just one barely-working shrine to power a small set of magic powers, Ruyo set out to find help -- and people willing to pray to her.
By rescuing a noble family's kidnapped boy in the city of Averell, Ruyo began to earn some renown. Ruyo and Nusina returned to the shrine to make further plans. The slave woman Tulia pledged to serve as a priestess, in return for trying to stamp out slavery in Averell. It seemed that Ruyo's obligations were going to grow as quickly as her skill and power -- and hopefully no faster.
Behind the scenes, Ruyo was written using RPG rules from "Fate Condensed". Her stats at this point are:
-Novice Water Goddess
-Short Temper
-Former Wandering Peddler
-Nusina, Companion Spirit
-Shrine of the Ancient Wellspring
Flashy 3 / Sneaky 0
Clever 2 / Forceful 1
Careful 2 / Quick 1
Her world doesn't literally run on RPG mechanics, though we'll see some echoes of that.

8 185The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.
8 112The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.
8 133Revolver
Theo Lane is chosen to be the avatar of a deity to partake in a tournament to decide the One God. He isn’t the only one. No. There are a lot more than he would like. Of course the apathetic high-school student would never agree to the desperate pleas of the said goddess, but there was a reward for the winner. He could become a god himself if he won. The greatest hassle was the stage itself. Instead of Earth, it would be on another planet with technology similar to the medieval ages with a few twists. A planet thrice the size of Earth with denizens of its own, with a history of its own. There was only one wish in his life, and that was to bring back the one he failed to protect. If murdering every other person in the world was what it would take, so be it. It was his only chance.

A man broken, and contemplating suicide. He's saved by a dear friend who refused to give up on him, and a game that allowed him to walk once more. The VR reality game called Olympus, set in a fantasy world revolving around Greek and Roman hystory. Join out hero as he learns the game as one of the first 5000 to test it, and experience it before the rest of the world. See his trials and tribulations, and his indomitable spirit as he deals with his reality with the aid of two friends who never allowed him to give up.[hr]Hey folks! This is my second fiction, decided to give VR a try. This won't be updated often until my first fiction, Blood Born is fully released to volume one. But when it is I'll be alternating between the two, and releasing daily for both fictions once I have a written plan for volume two in my first and primary fiction. I hope you enjoy this one however!
