《Re: Immortal》Chapter 26

"Let's go, there is no point in sitting around over here." Said Addi, as his eyes wandered around the empty ruined battlefield.
"Wait, I need to take care of something first." Objected Omis, turning his head towards the area where the mountain once stood. He circulated the Qi in his body, before wiling it outside, using his stream of Qi, Omis was able to connect with the elements of the mortal plane.
Using that, with a flick of his wrist the fallen rocks and debris slowly gathered around in one place forming the vague shape of a mountain, as it grew larger and larger regaining its former majestic appearance, the only difference was that the current mountain was barren.
"Oh, let me help you with this so we can finish faster." After saying that, Addi willed his Qi as well to connect with the elements causing the barren mountain to sprout a sea of green grass and countless multicolored flowers that did not seem to belong to the mortal realm.
Omis continued working on the area surrounding the mountain, turning it back from it's desolated state to a flourishing green one.
Stepping back to admire their work, the two immortals quietly stood in the air as they looked down the newly erected mountain, and lush green plane surrounding it.
"What do you think?" Asked Addi as he turned to look at his companion.
"I don't know, doesn't it seem like something is missing?" replied Omis as he looked around with a strange look on his face.
"Well obviously, it's empty! There are no buildings on it." shrugged Addi.
Slapping his forehead, Omis replied. "Ah! Of course! How did I forget about that."
"Wait didn't we already do enough?" Asked Addi as he looked back at Omis puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
Pointing at one side of the mountain, Addi spoke. "Just look at the flowers, those should be more than enough as compensation for their troubles."

"I guess you do have a point. Well let me just add a little wooden cabin, I'm sure this is where their patriarch resided." Added Omis.
---------------
Soon a lone wooden cabin was placed at the peak of the mountain, surrounding the said cabin was a variety of multi-colored flowers, making the entire scene look as if it was taken straight out of a celestial painting.
"I guess that should be more than enough for compensation?" Asked Addi, his eyes looking around the field of flowers, he gently descended towards the small wooden cabin and lightly tapped it with his figure. His expression changed the moment he did so as he turned to look back at Omis.
"What the hell are you thinking?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" Replied Omis feigning ignorance.
Sighing, Addi asked. "You do realize that you made this cabin a celestial treasure right?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Omis replied unconcerned. "It can barely count as one, besides it's only for the mountain defense and can not be used for offense so it should not be a problem."
Shaking his head Addi continued. "What am O to do with you? Fine let's just go, the Bai clan members should be arriving soon."
With a slight nod of agreement, Omis and Addi took off in the air, as they flew high above the mountain, Omis was able to catch a glimpse of the Bai clan marching back to their homes.
With a sly grin, he and Addi turned to two beams of light that flew towards the distance.
---------------
The trip back home was a tiresome one to all the Bai clan, the disciples were in low spirits, the elders we're silent and tired, and the patriarch had a hollow look on his face as he quietly kept muttering to himself about his mountain.
Bai Yu, the clan's first elder and the person to first meet the Immortal mentor was suffering from immense guilt. In the previous fight, luckily both of his disciples had survived yet a lot of other elders were not so fortunate.

"Is it my fault that I brought the mentor? Did I bring this upon us?" He quietly talked to himself, his mood growing somber by the minute.
As the group approached their destination, shocked gasps could be heard. Disciples pointed their fingers towards the sky where two figures were standing in the air.
"Is that the esteemed mentor?"
"Yes, it looks like him!"
"That must be the second celestial!"
Quiet whispers and hushed conversations started amongst those present, as they watched the two figures turn to beams of light that flew away in the distance.
Another wave of shocked gasps took over, as people investigated their surroundings. The ruined planes that they expected to see we're not there, in its stead lush green grass and tall trees stood firm!
The most shocking part, however, was the mountain! Their home that everyone came back to, thinking that they would find it flattened and ruined was there! It stood there oozing a pure aura, an aura almost akin to that of the celestial world!
The most excited person was none other than the patriarch. Seeing that his mountain was still there, his eyes turned bloodshot as he looked like a drowning man that finally found salvation.
Without any regards to his status whatsoever, the head of the Bai clan flew at top speed towards the peak where he noticed something particular. Right behind him was the surviving elders.
"W-Wha—!?" Unable to form a proper phrase the patriarch looked around in shock as he jumped around carefully inspecting each flower that was planted next to the wooden cabin.
The more he looked at them, the more stunned he turned! These were treasures! This was unbelievable! Each one was worth a fortune!
"Hahahahahahahaha!!" The patriarch maniacal laughter echoed throughout the mountain causing various disciples and elders to shift in discomfort.
Just as he was about to give his orders, Bai Yu's shocked gasp made him pause as the first elder stuttered while calling him.
"P-Patriarch!"
"Hmm? What is it?" He asked, the first elder was standing in front of the opened door of the seemingly ordinary wooden cabin.
As he approached it, the patriarch's eyes fell on the inside of the cabinet, on the open door hanged a small letter that simply read.
'I apologize for the inconvenience, I hope you enjoy your rewards. Sincerely Omis, the Immortal Mentor.'
As he read the small note, the patriarch was once again unable to hold back his howling laughter as he screamed.
"AHAHAHA! You bastards! You thought you could take down my Bai clan?! You thought you weakened me!? Hahaha, oh how wrong you are Old monster! Sword Devil!"
The patriarch's eyes seemed to shine, his previous bad mood long forgotten as he kept reading the small letter hanged on the door. His eyes hovering above one particular part, 'Omis'.
"So that's the name of the esteemed Mentor." he lightly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of worship as he looked towards the distance where Omis had disappeared.
"Bai Yu!"
"Yes, patriarch!"
"Pass down my order, our first priority is to erect a sculpture, no, a shrine! For our savior the venerated Immortal Mentor, Lord Omis!"
Giving a deep bow of acknowledgment, Bai Yu went about his orders with a newfound rigor, as he gave a silent prayer in his heart.
'Thank you, Lord Omis.'

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same. The goal is to finish this as quickly as possible and then possibly circle back and tidy things up. In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/
8 137Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.

New Businesses are practically blooming overnight with revolutionizing ideas, forcing their competitors to ignore security and stability just to keep up. All the while Governments are lagging behind and try to keep up with laws that try to ensure the bare minimum. But time is running out as the potential consequences multiply and even a single flaw could cause billions in damages. The clock is ticking.
