《Beyond The Worlds[BTW]》Ch 17: Preparation for the 1st phase of the tournament
Advertisement
All major powers arrived on the island. The tournament starts today. Shin, Naomi, Ryuu and Mari went to the center of the island.
"Why do we need to go to the center of the island?" Mari didn't understand why all the participants needed to gather in the center of the island. "You'll know when the time comes." Shin replied.
When all the participants gathered in the center of the island, an artifact suddenly appeared in the air. Participants were amazed by the beauty of the artifact. The "Eye of Saturn" was a circle-shaped artifact. In the middle of the circle, a sphere of blood floated, sending out intimidating pressure.
"So this is the 'Eye of Saturn'." Mari commented. She would have to admit it was a beautiful artifact.
As the participants looked at the artifacts in awe, a giant scroll appeared in front of everyone. The parchment contained written messages.
First phase: Maze
Participants have one hour to leave the Labyrinth. Anyone inside the labyrinth after an hour will be disqualified;
Second stage: points battle.
Participants will form groups of 4 people. Each group will climb a tower with monsters guarding each floor. Maximum 15 floors. Each floor above will be worth +1 point. In the end, the 5 groups with the highest number of points will pass to the last phase;
Last stage: fight for crystals.
The 5 groups that have passed the second phase will enter a battlefield. Each team will have 1 purple crystal and 4 blue crystals. The objective is to steal the crystals from other groups. If a group's purple crystal is destroyed, that group will be disqualified. The group with the most crystals at the end wins.

"This tournament will be complicated." Tiana spoke.
"Don't worry mom, I'll win the tournament." a boy replied with a smile.

That boy was Alvin Homilion. The greatest genius of the Elf race in this world. Alvin was extremely proud, but unlike Toru, he didn't underestimate his opponents. Alvin knew there were a lot of geniuses in the other races, so he couldn't let his guard down.
"Just do your best." Tiana already knew it would be impossible to win this tournament. Tiana looked at her daughter who was standing beside Alvin with her head down.
*Sigh*

Aka looked at the tournament participants. She could tell that some were strong. She looked at her group and said, "don't miss out on the first round."
The people in her group were not offended by the phrase, despite being geniuses of the dragon race, they are still far from the Princess.
-
The King of the Boryoku empire looked at Shin's group with a burning anger in his eyes. He wanted to kill the 4 right now, but he couldn't attack right now. When he learned that his son had died, he almost went mad. He heard from Boros about Shin's group and tried to look for them, but he couldn't find them on the island. The king thought Shin and his group would have fled, but here they were, participating in the tournament as if nothing had happened.
"Wait until the tournament is over." He would wait until the end of the tournament to finish them off.
-
"That King is pissing me off." Mari was about to kill that idiot King, but Shin stopped her.
"It was fun to see them looking for our whereabouts that day." Naomi said. She was a little surprised when Shin used the light to hide their location. Even if they weren't afraid of this King, it was better to avoid causing more trouble, after all, the tournament was about to begin. Tiana also spent time with them, so Shin decided to hide their location using the light element, he didn't want to get Tiana in trouble.

"Can we show our powers at the tournament?" Naomi asked Shin. She didn't want to lose to her "Juniors", but she also didn't want to spoil the mission.
"Just don't do something extremely exaggerated." He replied looking at Mari.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mari felt a little offended.
*Sigh*
-
A girl looked at the details of the first phase and clenched her fists. Unlike her brother, she wasn't strong. Elves are a race that have a natural affinity for mana, but they were only slightly above average. If she were a normal elf, that wouldn't be a problem, but she was the Queen's daughter. The girl wanted her mother to be proud of her.
"Sister, just try to get past the first stage. I'll take care of the rest." Alvin spoke looking at the girl.
"Yes…" she replied weakly.
-
*GOOD!*
The "Eye of Saturn" emitted a burst of mana, so a Labyrinth was created. The Labyrinth was extremely large. As big as the island itself. Participants were teleported into the Labyrinth by the "Eye of Saturn". The artifact also created a giant screen showing the participants in the Labyrinth to outsiders.
The first phase has started.

RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
