"Swish" "Swish"
In a courtyard of a mansion in Ancard kingdom, a black haired boy around 8 years old was swinging a wooden sword. It was Hakua. As he aged he face started to look like his mother, and his body like his father which is fragile like . His appearance started to trouble him, he wanted fo become handsome and manly not like his parents.
It's been 5 years since he came back to Ancard kingdom together with his mother. After undergoing the magus test, his father shut himself researching about Hakua's condition being elementless, he didn't show himself to anyone except for his advisor, because of the family's affairs which he was needed and when Hakua's about to depart. He also forgot to view Hakua's status, which made Hakua relieved for his skill [Conceal Status] just replaced the his stats with a question mark and not to alter it.
In Ancard, He tried to use basic magic, but it ended useless , until he
notice something. He spent the next few years training with the new style he learned because of his skill [Sword mastery], he learned that this skill wasn't just about increasing his strength but holds a sword style,the [Sword God] style perfect for his class.
With this style, he obtained a a powerful sword technique and a new way to utilize his useless large mana pool which he cannot use due to being elementless. This style converts his mana into sword energy.
The sword energy is can be used in enhancing his skills into a whole new level, and can be use to imbue the sword making it stronger and sharper.
"SWISH" "SWISH"
Currently he was in the courtyard training with the sword, one can see that the wooden sword that he was using was coated by some kind of blue green aura, which is the sword energy, and each slash sents slight vibrations into the wind.
As he was engrossed with training, a shadow appeared from the bushes almost instant, and was charging into him , full of killing intent.
A few milliseconds before the shadow appeared, Hakua's passive skill, [Foresight], kick in which can predict any kind of attacks towards him. Foreseeing the attack, he activated [Phantom step] to teleport a few meters away from his original position.
Seconds passed, the appearance of the shadow was a 4 winged angel.
The angel was a woman with white hair and a pair of emerald eyes which was mesmerizing. Her beauty was out of this world which can destroy an empire. It was Sera a 4-winged angel. On her hand was a beautiful white 2 handed sword, which matches her elegance.
"As expected of master" said Sera full of admiration towards him, "But master, be careful".

As Sera finished his sentence,Hakua's [Foresight] kick again.
Another presence appeared behind him again, which made surprised. He hurriedly blocked the attack using his wooden sword, he still can't use [Phantom step] because of its 5 sec cooldown, but still this skill was still OP even with the cooldown.
Due to the power of the attack cracks started to appear on the wooden sword, in fact this was surprising, by judging the power it received it should have already broke but what prevented this was Hakua's sword wnergy which envelop the wooden sword strengthening and sharpening it.
After blocking the attack Hakua step back a few meters.
"Ahh Renad, you almost got me there" Hakua said, " in fact if it wasn't because of my [Foresight] I should have died".
"But you didn't master for you are strong, worthy to be my master" Renad said. He was Hakua's new familiar which he summoned 3 years ago. He was fiend, with the appearance of a wolf with 3 horns on its head. It's size was double the of an average adult. His fur was blue like frost with steaks of white and as hard as the hardest metal on the world. Its color was because of its magic, Ice magic.
Fiends live in the Deviant Realm, in an another world different from this world. He was one of the most powerful fiends, fiends aren't capable of speaking. But there are an exception, the Celestial Fiends are capable of speaking. They also can transform into human which can helped them to blend in the society but there is an exception, Renad wasn't capable of transforming into human but he can transform into anything, Which others cannot.
"Haha, I'm still not strong enough to defeat you and Sera" Hakua laughed, "I know that both of you aren't showing me your true strength" Hakua continue pouting which made him cute. Actually Hakua still haven't unlocked the remaining percent of his power but what made him more powerful was beacuse of his style and maturing of his body.
"Master, even if we didn't show our full strength, we still used 25 percent of it" Sera comforted then glared to Renad .
"Master, even if we didn't use our full strength, there are only few who can fight on par with me on this power and you are still 8 yrs old." Renad said. In fact when He first summoned He didn't acknowledge Hakua As his master, for he was a kid but as time passes He saw Hakua's strength and potential, which made him think that Hakua was still child, and that in a few years He was able to defeat him effortlessly.
"Heh" Hearing this Hakua suddenly gained confidence and smiled like a child.
His smile made their hearts move especially Sera, her face became scarlet red seeing Hakua's honest smile.

"By the way Renad, It's about time" Hakua expression suddenly turned serious.
"Shit." Hearing this Renad wolf face turned grim, "I'll go hide master" He was a out to hide
"Rewad"
"Wenad"
Two child voices resounded in the courtyard. Two kids, a male and a female, appeared running towards them. in a few seconds they were already riding renad, which made the three wonder how those two kids managed to climb and board the big Renad.
Those two kids were Hakua's twin siblings, a few weeks after they came back from Frolt empire, His mother was found pregnant which made them happy. They hurriedly sent a message to Rolant to inform him of her pregnancy. Which made Rolant to come home almost a month and stay a week. When Celia is 5 months pregnant they also received the news that Felia was also pregnant. Which made Celia happy.
But when Celia gave birth, Rolant at that time wasn't present, unlike Hakua's birth but after a few days Rolant visited his newborn children, they were twins, the male has blonde hair like Rolant while The female has Black hair like Celia, but the two like Hakua have blue eyes. The male was named Aura while other was named Livitia. A few months Felia also gave birth to a boy. Making that boy the heir to the Auburn family. Being a child outside he didn't habe the right to be the heir.
Hakua also introduced Sera and Renad to his mother for Celia already knew about Hakua's past.
'Ahh. Me! one of the most powerful fiends is being a plaything of 2 kids' Renad thought to himself, even though he said that he wasn't mad nor annoyed. At first he was annoyed and tried to scare them by showing his scary face to them.
"Aura. Livia." Hakua called, out Livia was Livitia's nickname, " Stop that look at Renad he is already tired".
""Yesh bwather"" the two answered and went to Hakua.
"By the way, why are you playing here?"
"Mama shaid to call you" it was Livia who answered.
"Thats wight bwather" Aura also said.
Seeing his two siblings face Hakua's can't helped to smile then turned to Sera and Renad, "Sera, Renad. I need to go to mother"
He went inside leaving the two, on his side, were his two siblings while holding hands. He saw his mother sitting on the couch, his two sinlings seeing Celia went to her side running, while Hakua also went to him and sat on the couch opposite to her.
"Mother, is something the matter? He asked
"Well, your father sent me a letter telling that he is sending you to Pragia academy to study for you are already 8 years old." Celia said.
"Ehhh, why do i need to go to school?" Hakua asked, his expression obviously shows that he didn't want to attend one.
"Because you need to." Celia said to him, "He also told me that he already enrolled you and you need to study there for 8 years.,"
"Is thay so." he sighed hearing this, in his past life even though he finished school he didn't like to attend one, he would not go if not because of his family insisting like right now.
"Then when will I go to Central?" he asked.
"In a week you need to be in Yaltz city, which is the border of the human territory and the elven territory, the trip to Yaltz was about 4 days." she said.
"Why Yaltz?" He was puzzled why he need to go to Yaltz and not straight to Central.
"Well, the way to Pragia academy is different even it is in the Central."
"Oh is that so."
After speaking with his mother, he went to meet Renad and Sera
'I need someone who need to stay here.' he thought then he saw the two whom are still jn the courtyard.
"Sera, Renad, in two days, I will go into a journey to go to school and I will be staying there for 8 years" Hakua said, "So Sera I need to ask you something, I want you to Stay and protect my mother and siblings"
"No!" Hearing this Sera protested, she was crying she didn't want to be separated with her master which she loved. "I am yours, you are my master so I will stay with you"
'But I wont be calmed knowing that anytime my family will be harmed' Is what Hakua wanted to say but seeing Sera crying His heart ached. "Then what should we do?"
He still didn't want use his skill [Supreme summon] until it is truly needed.
"Then Master I can be the one to protect them" It was Renad.
"Are you sure?" Hakua asked?, "Then, please take care of them."
"Yes, they are my master's family so I will protect them with my life."
"Sera" Hakua turned to Sera who still has tears on her eyes. " It's okay now you can come with me, so please don't cry, it hurts for me when I see you cry."
"Master" hearing Hakua's words Sera face became tinged with red. For her to hear those words from the man she loved, made her feel happy.
"But You'll stay with me as a pendant." He added.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Raak
James was in his 30's when his death came suddenly, not that he minded much, as life was seeming to drag on. His story, however, did not end with his death. As a point of fact, it had only just begun. This will be my first work, so please by all means comment with any errors I may have made. Suggestions for the story (which may or may not be used). This is a litrpg and a bit of a power fantasy, so be warned the protagonist will be pretty OP eventually.

The Granddaughter of Time
Teresa Hargrove was okay with giving up. She knew the Earth was doomed and there was nothing to be done about it. What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them. For your reading pleasure, feel free to imagine them any way you’d like, even if your imagination contradicts descriptions from the story. Enjoy!~

Notebook of possibilities
First of all, to those who started reading this I want to apologize. While it does have a ring of a nice story title, this is going to be a place where I take the Sparks of interest from other stories or random ideas and just put it down, I'm not sure how exactly but the title should summarize the basics of what is held within. To say it's a waste isn't accurate, to ask the question why is a good start, why would I want this? Because when I read a story I want to think of so many things I may see or find in the world they envision, all the possibilities that could come about, and maybe, just maybe, some author out there can get their hands on this and it will be a spark of creativity for them to make a new chapter and see their world even a smidge closer to what I think it could be. It is tagged as fanfiction for it will pertain to numerous stories, not simply one in particular. Currently it will include; Oblivion Online Dungeon Heart And many more to be listed as they appear.
