《Collection of Short Stories?》[Test World]
Advertisement
The creator made the world as a test. The world was created to be in a state of constant change, of constant flux. This high energy state in effect created a super probability field allowing for a near infinite amount of possibilities. Now that sentient and intelligent life can easily appear due to the expanded probability field the creator started forming the thirteen seals. These seals were created to prevent anyone in this world from being able to use true magic. A key restriction created by the seals was making mana exponentially harder to control and contain. This in essence made it virtually impossible to circumvent or brute force the seals by amassing an ungodly amount of mana.
The seals were then incorporated into the key aspects of the world thus making it impossible to destroy the seals without destroying the world. This was also used to disguise the seals as the foundations of the world making it again unthinkable to destroy.
With the completion of the world and seals, the creator left leaving behind an empty world. Over time the world grew and evolved, changing until it was unrecognizable from before. Turning from a perfect geometric construction of magic into a vast void filled with planets, stars, and galaxies.
Aeons passed. Life came and went. The balance of the universe shifting between phases of growing and waning. Until it reached this very moment. The moment I came to the realization of the true nature of this universe.
When I first stumbled upon a seal. I thought it to be one of the foundations of the universe, but soon after deciphering the esoteric magic I understood its real purpose. At first I wanted to destroy the seals and peel away the thin veneer obscuring magic’s full form. Even though this was the fastest way my guilt swayed my choice to something far more difficult, but far less destructive.

I was going to disembowel the seals. I needed to slowly pull apart the magic like a person slowly unweaving the strands of a sweater. This was to protect the actual foundations of the universe from experiencing the backlash of massive magic construct destruction.
It took me several years, but I eventually took down one of the seals. In the next decades I searched for every seal until each one was fully deconstructed. I could feel the change in how magic itself felt as each seal slowly released. My mana pool increased by orders of magnitude, I could feel new aspects of magic never touched before, and many more exciting discoveries.
Despite all the effort the creator took to make it necessary for the universe to be destroyed when the seals were destroyed she overlooked the fact that anything could happen in this universe. She created this possibility despite trying to prevent it.

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
