《Heir of Wilberforce》Chapter 9: The Secret
Advertisement
In Old Aldurish, 'Urú' had two meanings: first, it meant black, and second, it refered to a poor country engulfed in darkness.
Long ago before The Descent, there was a clan who had an unusual Gift. Members of these clan were born with a unique black eye in which both the sclera and the iris were black. Because of this, the people of that time called them Urú.
The members of this clan didn't like their new name. "We are not a poor country." They said.
They later added 'rú' to the end of the name to make it 'Urúrú'. Many clans saw that as a poor choice because the suffix 'rú' was derived from an extinct Djinn tribe who were wiped out by a plague. It was said the plague happened because of their bad deeds. It was even a taboo to speak of them, why would any clan wanted to change their name to mimic theirs?
But whether changing their name was was a bad choice was still not clear. What was clear was all the clans who had once laughed at Urúrú were now gone. In fact, Urúrú had been in power for as long as anyone could remember. They were the sole owners of the First World and about half of the Second World was theirs as well.
Urúrú had created three Commandments: The Descent, The Jinzidal and The Contract.
Before The Descent, everyone lived on the First World. Urúrú said humans could not live together peacefully in one place. They used the Gift in their black eyes to take everyone down to the six lower worlds.
Before The Jinzidal, countries were allowed to wage war on each other but now wars were prohibited. If you had any problems with any country you had to wait till the end of the year during the annual Jinzidal competition to settle it.

Before The Contract, anyone could tame and enslave any Djinn but now there were restrictions. Every enslavement spell was strictly controlled. The nature, type and race of any Djinn had to be assessed by the ministry before you were allowed to tame it.
The secret Armad just heard was directly related to these three Commandments. It was something that could turn the entire world upside down if revealed.
Armad didn't know what to do with it. Just by knowing it he had put himself in an unspeakable great risk. After a long debate, he decided to keep his mouth shut for two reasons: first, even if he told someone, they would likely not believe him, and second, he didn't want to end the current peace enjoyed by the inhabitants. But just for insurance, he shared the secret with his Djinn and then he implanted it in his soul realm.
He wondered what those two men and woman would do with something like this.
They likely intend to threaten Urúrú with it, um... not possible. He shook his head. Maybe they want to sell it, maybe they want to destroy it...
Wait.. where am I? And when did I changed to this? His brain took in his new environment and his new clothes.
Lightning Flash was a very mysterious spell. It gave him the speed of lightning for a single second. But the distance covered in that single second was unimaginable. Whenever he used the full power of the spell, he ended up lost somewhere. And because of that, he always used a minute fraction of it to move around like a minor teleportation.
This time he wanted to get away as far from Nostalgia and her brothers as possible, and because of that he used the full power of the spell.
He was probably lost somewhere. Thankfully, his body didn't feel hurt so maybe he didn't hit anything hard like the last time.
Time to find the Triple-factor.

The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will. I almost didn't put the tag there as it doesn't really fit the genre. I like happy endings.).The year is 201X, and the line between reality and the imaginary has become blurred. Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!

Reasons to Stay
Immortality has a cost, it differs from person to person. Some regret seeing their loved ones die, some regret they themselves cannot die, some regret the boredom and some regret nothing. This man regrets not having a choice, so after millions of years of getting shot, beheaded, beaten, stabbed and stoned he escaped from the world by hiding in a bunker with his books. He had studied all forms of science, he had lived history and created art, he was content with being alone with his mind until one day a man with a monocle appears, and he learns the truth. Hi! This is my second novel and I just had this idea when I was trying to sleep and my mind was making me re-live all those goddamn nightmares you don't want when it's 1 am and dark as shit, so I thought of happy things like the fantasy genre and my inevitable death and i'm like why not?

HEIMDALLR
After his first life, Heimdallr felt he had lived a decent way; he wrote stories and lived a simple life, avoiding publicity and focused on promoting growth to the few who cherished his works. But after being reborn as Heimdallr Dagrsson, one of the many sons of Daesal's greatest warrior Dagr, he was put into a world devoid of wide-spread access to reading and writing. Instead, he was dropped into a world where fighting and death commonly reared their heads. Now, faced between his unsupported passion and his new life's innate talent and upbringing, he will have to find his new path. He will forge a new story that would make even himself dubious of whether or not it's fact or fable. HEIMDALLR is a story taking place in the setting created for another previous work of mine called KOBOLD. It follows a reincarnated person trying to wrestle between their old life and new life's wants and needs, all the while adapting to the situations that arise out of his control. Heimdallr starts out trying to survive and live a new life, all the while facing challenges and growth both fantastical and painfully real. Loosely inspired by Norse mythology and histories (names and some themes), spun into a fantasy, grit-rooted world. Skål! All content warning tags are applied so as to allow freedom of writing but there is no intent of excess or even regular use of these themes. Regardless of this, any and all uses will have dedicated warnings presented in the chapter whenever they are present! Reader beware!
