《The Aether Universe》Chapter 21
Advertisement
As Tai sat on his bed, he closed his eyes and channeled the darkness and shadows in his room. When he saw his sister control the darkness and make those tendrils, he knew that he couldn't do that, or at least not like how she does. Those tendrils moved like the tentacles of an octopus and its movement was fluid.
In terms of skill in Darkness Manipulation, his sister definitely won, and that was why he had to get better. If his sister could do it, and he couldn't, then that just meant that he had room to improve. To get in tune with the darkness that covered everything once the light disappeared.
As Tai absorbed the darkness in his room, a thick black aura surrounded him, overpowering the small lamp in the room and surrounding the room in complete darkness.

Unlike before when he just gathered the darkness, he absorbed the darkness.
When he absorbed the darkness, he came to a realization that it wasn't evil, and it wasn't good either, it was neutral. Truly neutral. Darkness was bad sometimes, like when it's dark outside, making someone unable to see, but it was also good, like when it keeps someone hidden from something dangerous.

Darkness is the beginning and the end. It was there at the start of the universe, and it'll be there at the end of it as the last light fades away giving no hope for life to exist.
When Tai opened his eyes, he saw that the room was completely pitch black, but it was weird. He knew that the room was pitch black, but he could see just fine. He could see his back pack that was sitting on the desk as clear as day, except it wasn't day, and there was no light to be seen.
You have learned a skill: Night Vision

Since he was in complete darkness, he might as well use this time to practice his abilities. Gathering some of the darkness in the room into his hand, he made a swirling orb of darkness.
Tai solidified the orb of darkness into a swirling ball of chains that he could control at will to bind, or attack enemies.

Tai tinkered with the ball of chains, making the chain bigger and more durable, but making the speed of the chain drastically slow down. Making the chain smaller and lighter made it faster, but it lowered the chain's durability.
This experimenting with the darkness made his Darkness Constructs level up 3 more times, but he ignored the notifications, completely captivated by the darkness.
While he continued experimenting with the darkness, even modifying the look of his naginata and making it look 'cooler', something was watching him.
As he spun the naginata in his hand, the scene around him suddenly changed and he appeared in a dark abyss, with absolutely nothing in sight. Not even his night vision was helping him as he was seeing nothing.

"Interessssting," a voice in the abyss said, startling Tai.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Tai asked as he moved around, trying to see who, or what the voice was, but it was pointless.
"Who I am is not important. We are in your head, do not worry," the voice said, slightly reassuring Tai.
"What do you want from me then?"
"Nothing, on the contrary, I'm looking to give you ssssomething," the voice said, laughing a bit as it looked at Tai.
"And what is this something, and what do I have to do once I get it?" Tai asked.
"Nothing. Abssssolutely nothing. I'm jusssst bored and ssssaw that you had a sssspecial connection with the darknessssss. You could say that I'm just sssspeeding up your progressssss as you would eventually get this sssskill anyway. The only thing you have to do issss get sssstrong and maybe free me from thissss dark prisssson. Other than that, jusssst do whatever you want."
"Alright, then." Tai wasn't really trusting of this weird entity, as who would just give someone a free skill just like that, and they weren't even remotely related. "What is this skill, though?"
"You'll find out eventually," the voice said, laughing one last time as he was sent back to his room and received a notification.
Your ability Darkness Manipulation has been upgraded to ██████ Darkness Manipulation Your ability Darkness Constructs has been upgraded to ██████ Darkness Constructs Your ability Darkness Aura has been upgraded to ██████ Darkness Aura
"What is this? Am I too low a level to know what that... thing gave me?" Tai asked himself.
Seeing that the entity had upgraded his darkness skills, he channeled his darkness to see what had changed and there was a big change.
His darkness felt at least 100x as strong, and that wasn't an exaggeration. Tai wondered what the entity had given him and why was it so strong.

Bow of the North
In game of thrones i felt that the Starks received way too much hardships and tragedy. i know that there were vital points of story, and there were times these hardships were building points for their characters, but i feel when every member of a family has been either killed, raped or crippled then they deserve a break. In my story that break comes in the form of a powerful hunter/general from another world. I have no intention of altering the story to save every stark, or have them win every time, and some of my favourite characters may even be victims of this plot change as well. edited The main character, and there will be several new characters introduced to the storyline, will not just be some over powered guy who makes outrageous decisions that always work out (cough Plot armour) but will be someone that treats the world as a real world and has fears, doubts and is cautious in his decisions. He is susceptible to changing his mind and character traits depending on his experiences in this life. The story will primarily follow the plot at the beginning with some minor changes, and as more things change they will increase till the entire story is changed at the end. I am not copying the world of GoT exactly. cultures, politics and nobility may be changed or made up.

A man to whom this world was alien also wanted to meet Heart again to tell it his story. That story will be about the very beginning of Everything, about the Observer and his sacrifice, but most of all that Scientist wanted to tell his story. The story of a Man Led by the Heart of Another World, full of contradictions, dialectics, heuristics and corpses.

Veiled
Sixteen-year-old Desirae Cradle knows how to survive in the human world, but knowing and doing are two different things. Until her mother disappeared under questionable circumstances, Desirae lived as part of a magical community kept secret from humans for more than 4,000 years. But not all of Desirae's people live on Earth. Some live in the Otherworld, exiled there after an ancient war. They are known as the Faye and still seek a way back to Earth. With feelings of abandonment, and no other family among her kind, Desirae makes her way in the human world using the only skill she has-knowing how to cross between Earth and Otherworld. But when a crossing goes bad, Desirae has to do something she swore she never would - go back home. Determined to not only fix her mistake but to mend old friendships, Desirae returns to the community she abandoned. But the Faye are after more than she thought. With lingering questions about what really happened to her mother and the discovery that her friends have changed even more than she has, Desirae finds that stopping the Faye and regaining her friend's trust might not be as easy as she hoped. This is a completed work, approx 75,000 words. I’m just editing chapter by chapter and posting as I finish them.
