《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》24. Dungeon [1]
Advertisement
A week passed since the lessons started as Feuer stood silently in his room, seated on his bed in lotus position.
What makes a half-human half-beast terrifying isn't purely the fact that the human innately weak physique will be ''fixed'' but the fact that they can also awaken an Elemental Spirit, due to Magical Beasts having an innately strong physique that will enhance naturally, most of them tend to take the Spiritual Path, of course, not all of them are qualified for that.
Only the Magical Beasts that are born with intelligence are qualified for taking that path because usually, a Magical Beast only awaken their intelligence when they enter the Petal Strengthening or Spiritual Petals realm, at that time, they won't be able to change their path.
A half-human half-beast Elemental Spirit tends to be of their race and bloodline, for example, if their beast part bloodline is the Wind Sparrow, their Elemental Spirit will probably be that same Magical Beast, it brings a variety of benefits like improving their physique, enhancing their elemental attacks.
Feuer is currently on his consciousness searching for that golden glow, he could see ''feel'' it is his Elemental Spirit but couldn't touch it till now, however, now that he's on the verge of advancing to Spiritual Manifestation realm, the golden glow simply hid in his enormous consciousness.
''This is going to be a bother, now I know why there are so many people stuck on this realm'' Feuer said as he felt irritated but then, he had an idea
''Yo, golden glow, if you don't get your ass here right now, when I find you, I'm gonna smack you till you give up existing...'' Feuer yelled as the sound reverberated through his entire consciousness, he knows that the golden glow has its own intelligence, it is low and probably the level of a small kid, Feuer has all memories from birth and knows that what small kids hate the most is when they're smacked... on the ass.

'I'm such a genius' He thought while smirking as he saw a golden glow approaching him with great speed before it stopped in front of him as its form changed to a golden-colored Phoenix ''You stood the entire time on my consciousness relaxing and when I need you, you hid? Do you know your mistake?'' Feuer said.
The golden-colored Phoenix head bowed slightly as it felt guilty, somehow, Feuer could understand what it was trying to say as he said ''You were trying to play hide and seek? Where did you even learned about that? Wait, nevermind...'' he shook his head before continuing
''You're my Elemental Spirit, right? So... what do I need to do now, you know, do a contract with you or something?'' Feuer said, he heard that it's the Elemental Spirit that chooses its owner and that they live on a separate plane of existence called 'Spirit Plane' but not how it actually becomes someone Elemental Spirit.
The golden-colored Phoenix simply extended its claws as Feuer also extended his hand and touched the claws as his entire consciousness started to glow in a golden-colored light, Feuer then felt that a connection between him and the golden-colored Phoenix was made, if he died, his Elemental Spirit died and vice versa.
It is indeed possible for an Elemental Spirit to die, it happens like that because they have the person 'Soul' and 'Spirit' infused into it, however, when one dies, it's possible to ''reconstruct'' it with some materials, however, if the contract between the person and his/her Elemental Spirit is mutual like the one Feuer did, when the Elemental Spirit dies, the person also dies, however, their connection will be inextinguishable, they'll be true partners.
However, only a few Elemental Spirits can do a contract like that, it may sound like a stupid deal but it actually isn't, they grow in strength along with the person and the deeper the connection someone has, the stronger the Elemental Spirit grow, however, a connection like the one Feuer just made with the golden-colored Phoenix is more special than anyone else.

Feuer then turned to look at the golden-colored Phoenix once again after the contract between them was made, its previously spiritual body changed, its body became like a fiery, golden-colored Flame that threatened everything on its way, be it physical or spiritual.
It has bright golden-colored eyes that seem to be able to see through everything, preventing it and its owner to fall in illusions now that they're connected to each other, smiling slightly, Feuer fused with his Elemental Spirit as his body changed.
Two pairs of golden-colored wings appeared behind Feuer back, his previously silver-colored eyes turned bright yellow and his hands became claws, all of his physical and spiritual attributes increased drastically, before Feuer master his transformation in a Phoenix, transforming through his Elemental Spirit is good.
Then, he undid his fusion with his Elemental Spirit, this was only one of its functions, it can also be used as a flame, though, for now, Feuer isn't able to use his Elemental Spirit as a flame, he tried to do so but failed miserably, through his estimates, he can maintain his fusion with the Elemental Spirit for around ten minutes 'For now, this is enough, I guess...' Feuer thought to himself.
''By the way, tomorrow, the Instructor said we'll enter a dungeon tomorrow, he also said that we'll train on dungeons for three weeks so that we can be prepared when we go outside to do missions...'' Feuer thought out loud as he opened his eyes, his Elemental Spirit flew around him happily and rubbed its cheeks against Feuer's cheeks before entering his consciousness and going to take a nap till its partner call it again.
'I forgot to ask his/her gender!' Feuer realized, he can't possibly call his partner 'it' because he/she has intelligence, then, he shook his head 'Maybe he/she is genderless' Feuer nodded and also went to sleep.
Tomorrow they'll go to a dungeon, requiring him to have a good rest today so that his performance is good, this will be a good experience for him, Dungeons appears randomly all around the world and monsters are ''generated'' from it, from the weakest slime to even the strongest Dragon to Phoenix, it is a labyrinth with monsters, traps and different environments.
On the books, it says Dungeons were created by an Evil God in order to bring chaos, however, it ended up having the opposite effect as though there are some rare dungeons that bring destruction through monsters that escape it, many use it as a way to improve themselves.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.

Reborn in Isekai with Sharingan
I prefer the florid and uncanny Jutsu to plots of Naruto, especially Dōjutsu like Sharingan, which could be said, crazy! As the title said, this is a story about the protagonist reborn in Isekai with the ability of Sharingan. Actually, I have no idea where the storyline development would like to go in advance. Still, I’m sure it’ll be interesting. In addition, this story is original if according to the regulation of fanfiction, or you can say it’s half-original fiction. It’s no characters or background from Naruto but the abilities. Anyway, enjoy!
