《Ethereal Creator of Realms》BK 1: Chapter 17 Ethereal's First Advent
Advertisement
A lone male Geoborn with no hair sits on the edge of a hill staring up at the night sky. His mana filled blue eyes glow as he contemplates Ethereal, the Geoborn, and the other elemental races.
Why do the elemental races not have Oracles, what does it mean, and why doesn’t Ethereal commune with us?
Are we not favored by him, are we outcasts, and why do the other races receive better treatment?
His stone hairless brow furrowing, his eyes filled with pain, he clutches his fist over his chest.
Why?
Maybe if I just reach out to him, maybe if I simply extend my hand towards him, maybe……….
His hand begins reaching out.
Maybe he’ll respond and maybe we can commune with him.
His hand reaching out, along with his mana, and his mind, his arm stutters for a moment, as he feels something, then stretches farther pouring his all into it.
.....................................................................................................................…
I reveal my eyes above Origin in plain sight for all to see.
Stretching out with my Mystic I wrap it around the geoborn’s arm and channel my power into him.
I establish a connection with him as I fill him with Mystic, with a few specks of Primordial Mist and Arcanum mixed in.
I fill the Geoborn, no I fill up Jor, with Mystic, as I alter his body and mind.
I strengthen his body with specks of Primordial Mist turning his stone skin pitch black.
I run lines of Arcanum through his surface to help him channel the small amount within him and regather it.
I reinforce his body with Mystic engraving new custom runes of my own design upon his surface to help reinforce his hold and automatic responses to Mystic.
I convert his mana cores to Mystic cores running codes of my Ethereal Runes into it for his protection, to increase his instinctual control, engraving default abilities, and automatic responses.

I cover him in armor of Primordial Crystal, and a black Primordial Crystal woven cloak filled with Mystic and Arcanum, covered in my Ethereal Runes.
The process Complete I speak to the whole world of Origin.
“On this day.
I have chosen from among the geoborn, my first Advent.
Jor You may Rise.
An enemy approaches from beyond Origin.
His name is Orcrox and he wishes to destroy this world.
It will take five thousand years for him to arrive, by that time many of you will have already passed on into the Star Stream and been reborn anew, to live countless lives.
Jor as my first Advent you will go deep beneath the surface of Origin and build an army along with great weapons that will only activate upon Orcrox’s arrival.
Do this and you will be rewarded greatly.
If any of you, attempt to hinder these plans you will be sent into the star stream and chained to it’s flowing fires until there is nothing left of you, not even the most basic essence of your spirit will continue to exist.
Now go forth Jor, for I have given you what you need, you may walk upon the surface of Origin as much as necessary to gather resources.
Remember you have five thousand years, grow stronger and prepare.
However, even though I am a many greater times stronger than you.
Though I created all of you and these worlds, I am not a god.
For I have limits.
I can be hurt.
I can die.
So prepare, for this will be a fight, for all of us.
Even me.”
I again stop the light of my eyes from meeting Origin, keeping them from seeing my eyes, so they might rest and not be weary.
Orcrox approaches, there is so much to do and time seems to go by oh so fast.

Rebirth – City Cultivation
Great Cultivator Chen Fan had failed his Tribulation period, but after a dream, he had returned to Earth, when he was young, five hundred years ago. “In my past life, I reached the peak in the universe. I looked down upon the myriad of worlds, but with no one accompanying me. In this life, I wish for both.”
8 545It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!
8 98Among Monsters and Men
Mankind has settled the distant world of Orr and devolved into a post apocalyptic late medieval era, at war with its native races. The Crown King has been assassinated by native hands after what seemed would be a tenuous peace. Now his son, Crown Prince Hector, must take the High Throne and renew the call to war. As he uncovers more of the truth, bloody secrets are revealed and even darker revelations...I am inspired by A Game of Thrones, Mark Lawrence's hauntingly dark tone, Joe Abercrombie's gritty combat, and Patrick Rothfuss' beautiful prose; seeking to emulate these elements into my own story.

8 271Looping, oh the fun! (Naruto)
Naruto and Sasuke are looping, and they're bored. They've already destroyed Konoha 15 times, taken over the world 15 times, gathered a harem 20 times and failed each time, joined ANBU 78 times, created their own villages over 30 times... What should they do now?For those of you who don't know what looping is, basically, it's time traveling done over and over and over again. Sometimes, it can also be dimension jumping (which appeared in my story). Something always triggers looping. Most of the time the trigger is death. If a character dies, he will wake up back in time. Do things, die again, and wake up back in the same time again. Or in some circumstances, wake up and find oneself in another dimension. See "Naruto Omake Files Innortal Style" for reference. Recommend Chapter 7 New Intros.
