《Arcana》Chapter 21 - The First Outsider
Advertisement
I am presently surrounded by 5 kids; 3 boys and 2 girls. Each of them is carrying a gigantic weapon for their size.
“Enrica! Why’d you suddenly jump in front of a Succubus Orchid? Are you crazy? To save someone you have no relation to, no less!” [Ruin]
“Yeah Enrica, Dianara would kill us if something were to happen to you” [Taft]
“Haaa~” [Stonoir]
“Come on guys… you know she meant well” [Shen]
They’ve been throwing complaints at the little girl who saved me.
She did a good thing but she’s the one being scolded.
She doesn’t look sad tho, she’s just crossing her arms with a ‘hmpf!’… total tsundere if I may say so myself…
“Um…” [Lan]
“”“HA?!”””
“Please don’t lash out on your companion… it’s my fault that I had to be saved. Little girl, thank you and to you all, I apologize” [Lan]
“Well of course it’s your fault! But this… wait did you just call Enrica…pfft little girl? HAHAHAHA” [Taft]
“””PUHAHAHA”””
All of them burst in laughter so suddenly, why?
Isn’t she a little girl?
“Oi, human” [Enrica]
“Y-yes!?” [Lan]
“I may not look it but I’ve lived for quite some time and my name isn’t little girl, it’s Enrica. Got.IT?” [Enrica]
“Enrica… Y-yeah, roger…” [Lan]
“We probably all look like kids to you but we’re not! We’re dwarves, get that over your head!” [Enrica]
“Eh?! I heard of dwarves from our fairytales and they were described as bulky, hairy and muscular people… actually, wait… okay” [Lan]
“””?”””
Throw away your common sense Lan… forget….
“So… what are you guys doing here?” [Lan]
“We came here for the Succubus Orchid’s fruit” [Ruin]
“Fruit? You mean those things on its’ head?” [Lan]
“Exactly. Those are miracle fruits for many diseases but getting it is quite difficult. That’s why our team was sent to acquire some. Our village chief caught an arcana stagnancy disease” [Ruin]

A what now?
“…” [Lan]
“Don’t tell me…” [Taft]
“What is that?” [Lan]
“Sigh… I thought you were a researcher or something, coming here alone and all… you were this stupid huh” [Enrica]
“Ignorance. Not stupidity, ignorance!” [Lan]
“Well, whatever… that disease I mentioned; arcana stagnancy, blocks the flow of arcana in the arcana canals.” [Ruin]
Woah…
Even these little ki- dwarves know about the arcana canals…
Is that common knowledge here or something?
“Here in the Underworld, the arcana pool is incredibly dense so it dange- wait… human…” [Ruin]
“Hmmm?” [Lan]
“HOW IS THERE ANOTHER HUMAN HERE IN THE UNDERWORLD?!” [Ruin]
“Eh?”
“Now that you mention it…” [Shen]
“Hey you… what’s your name, human?” [Taft]
“L-Lantern Venick…” [Taft]
“Venick? As in the VENICK?!” [Ruin]
“EH? Is there a famous Venick that I don’t know of or something?” [Lan]
“…Supposedly Kael is the only human here…that means…” [Enrica]
Little gi- I mean, the one who saved me, Enrica, murmured something… I couldn’t catch it-
“LANTERN!” [Ruin]
“YES?!” [Lan]
“Did you perhaps…” [Ruin]
Gulp…
“come from the surface?” [Ruin]
Eh? I thought the question was something hard…
“Well, yeah” [Lan]
“WHAT?! NOW IT MAKES SENSE!” [Ruin]
Suddenly all of the ki- I mean dwarves were in a frenzy… why?
Wait… am I-
“Uh hey… could it be that, I’m the only human here…?” [Lan]
“That’s correct! The first outsider yet” [Taft]
Eh?

Star Wars: Downfall
This is my take on what should've happened with Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. The story is a technical rewrite of "Revenge of the Sith", but it features Ahsoka Tano. Also this IS Anisoka shipped. Please Enjoy :)

World Labyrinth
Meet our hero: an average young man with an average life, who ended up dying while working an average job. However, he's a given a chance to see another world at the final crossroads of his old life. The catch... well... he knows there's one. There always is. But, hey, when you're about to die, you take whatever opportunity's provided to you. This is the young man's story in the new world as he learns he can't afford to be average anymore. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've decided to put this note up due to some comments and ratings left for this ORIGINAL FICTION complaining its boring. This story starts slow and it takes time for things to pick up. Also the MC doesn't start off as superman or become superman magically in two chapters. He also is AVERAGE... so it takes time to build up his character. Starting chapter 14 or so things pick up, but this isn't a pure hack and slash and skills level up story like most of the FF on this site. Just giving you a warning, so you don't end up disappointed and end up having to post large paragraphs complaining about the story... I also post on average every TWO OR THREE DAYS, so you'll get more to read.
