《I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage》Chapter 21
Advertisement
I place a hand on my head as I realize that I left the safety gem in Price’s hands. I should have taken it in case that man is really not Price or Price is one of the bad guys. Shaking my head of this thought, I enter the library and head to the front desk to ask where the books on the magi language are, but the librarian isn’t there. I head to the second floor of the library and enter a study room. After casting two spells to confirm no eavesdroppers, I activate my bracelet.
My mother’s voice comes through. “Hello? Nova?” Upon hearing her voice, my heartbeat, which I didn’t realize had sped up, calms down.
“Hi Mama. Is Papa there?”
“I’m here. What’s up? How are you?”
I involuntarily smile. “School seems to be a breeze. If Teacher Broffenberg didn’t tell me to continue my research in this school, I would have tried to skip grades or get a diploma through some sort of test.”
His laughter fills the room. “It’s not easy graduating from the SRA. Of half of my acquaintances back in the day, about a tenth of them received their diplomas safely.”
I chuckle.
“But Nova, I know you will miss Papa and Mama, but you aren’t one to call home so quickly. Did something happen?”
My smile slowly drops. “Where are you right now?”
“In the Sapphire Room.” He stops talking for a second before saying, “Only your mother is here.”
Taking a deep breath, I say, “I wanted to know, who did you show the memory gem to?”
“I showed it to Mage Manilla. He told Mage Broffenberg about you after it, back then. Besides him, no one else knows about it. Everyone else only saw a picture that I sketched.”

“Then he knows that I created it?”
“He should. Why?”
My gut clenches. “I saw him earlier. He didn’t seem to know that I created a memory gem, or that you have it, but he knows a lot of sensitive information.”
“Then we should assume the person who kidnapped you knows that that spell failed. Who do you suspect this Price is?”
“Do you know about the group of people studying demons?”
“Yes. We dubbed them the demon faction.” He pauses, and I can mentally see him exchanging looks with my mother. “You don’t mean to say he’s from them?”
“I believe he thinks that I’m naive enough to be fooled, but to be safe, we should expect that they know that I called you and his cover may be blown. I doubt others will believe it if we tell them. Price Manilla is, after all, the second best mage around.”
“Right. For now, continue with your research. I will let you know what I find.”
“No one else should know, Papa. I believe something happened to Teacher Broffenberg as well, since the fake lured me in with that information.”
“Are you going to figure out if that information is true?”
“Yea. If the fake Price believes I was fooled, I have to put on a false front. I’m going to pretend I’m researching a way to find her while I actually do.”
“My baby Nova is the smartest.”
“That I am.” My heart warms.
“Is there anything else?”
“Besides the fact that I’m already being chased by boys at the tender age of ten? Nope.”
“You’re being chased?” My mother’s voice cuts into our conversation. “You should know that none of them deserve you.”

“Of course, Mama. Instead, I joined Geniva’s sister’s friend group after two girls unsuccessfully tried to splash me and my stuff with liquid.” Well one of them did succeed, but I undid her success.
“How dare they!” There’s a moment of silence, and then she says, “Geniva’s sister? You don’t mean Lovina?”
“Do you know her?”
“Not well. I heard her intelligence is extraordinary and she turned down the invitation to the Royal Academy. Her parents are some of the most upright people I have met.”
“Then unless that’s a facade, there’s no way they will turn to the demon faction, right?”
My father gives a noise of consent. “That is correct. If she is a part of the demon faction, I doubt she would settle for being on the lower ladder.”
“So either way, it would be beneficial to befriend her.”
“Yes.”
There is a knock on the door. “I have to hang up now, Mama, Papa.”
“Ok. We love you, Nova. Hugs!” I imagine back to when I left for school and my mother almost refused to let go of me.
“Love you too. Bye.” I quickly end the call and then open the door. That president, Selina Bartron, and a few other girls stand crowded around the door with their arms crossed.

8.18 1705Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

What happens when a game company strives for total immersion and realism from a VRMMO?Players require food, sleep, personal hygeine, air to breathe and everything else required for life. The up side is that its still a game, Players respawn, can use magic, can basically do anything they want with obvious exceptions like: not going to prison for assassinating a ruling monarch, not that you cant do it only that its very hard to do.In comes our protagonist a university student majoring in the sciences, namely chemistry.His name is Henry Jacobs, 19 years old and a complete loner.A new VRMMO game was annouced and it bragged and boasted about how it would be the first in a new era of VR gaming as it would give the game a total of 100% realism, meaning when you get hit it hurts, when you walk into a dungeon full of zombies it will stink as you'd expect like rottting corpses. This game is titled Outrage: Total Realism. Which was a joke made by the publishers knowing how most people would be either excited or enraged.
