《Beyond The Worlds[BTW]》Ch 56: ending the day
Advertisement
Aka and Airin have finished destroying all nightwalkers. Civilians were rescued and placed in a safe place. The number of injuries was quite high; however, not many were killed in this area.
"Where 's Shin?" Aka asked Kichiro.
"Well… he just disappeared." Kichiro replied, with a strange expression.
"Huh?! Onii-Sama… disappeared?!" Airin looked around with a worried expression.
"How can someone just disappear?!" Aka frowned.
"Calm down! That's not what I meant! He told me he was going to check something and just disappeared right away." Kichiro rephrased his sentence.
"You should have said that sooner!" Airin calmed down.
"Well, I'm sorry." Kichiro replied while scratching his head.
"We'll wait here. He should be back soon." Aka said.
"Un."

"So you're an academy student?!" Kazuhiko said, with a surprised expression. He couldn't believe he had lost in an exchange of blows against a student. Even though he was holding back in the fight, he knew Shin was too.
"Well, I'm not from this country. I applied to the gym for other reasons." Shin replied, arms crossed.
"I see…" Kazuhiko was still a little wary, but he decided to believe Shin. "So what are you doing in this place?"
"Well, I was(...)"
Shin told Kazuhiko about the recent events to Kazuhiko; however, he omitted some parts.
-
"The believers…" Kazuhiko muttered, with a thoughtful expression. "Believers don't use black magic, so these people are probably not central figures in the Church."
Believers despised black magic because they thought it was evil. Black magicians can hardly hold any important position in the believers' faction. Most likely, black magicians will only be hunted by believers.
"I assume there's been some internal conflict within the faction," Shin replied. According to his guess, the faction of believers could be split at this point.

'That man…' Shin thought of the man who had appeared in the old man's memories. That man was probably someone high up within the faction.
"It's likely; however, why did they attack innocent people in this way?" Kazuhiko did not understand the purpose of these people. What is the need to involve innocent people in conflict?
"Well, that's all I know. You'll have to figure the rest out for yourself." Shin said. He had some assumptions about the motive for the attack; however, it was just an unsubstantiated hypothesis, so he said nothing. He also didn't want to get too involved in this matter, yet...
"Thank you for the information!" Kazuhiko sincerely thanked him. Shin's information was very important to him. He would try to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
"My name is Kazuhiko Anno. I'm the president of the academy. You can contact me if you discover something new." Kazuhiko introduced himself. Unlike most people in power, he didn't despise anyone. Kazuhiko has always been a humble and kind young man.
"Shin Akash. I will contact you if necessary" Shin made a brief introduction before leaving.
-
*Sigh!*
Kazuhiko gave a tired sigh. His work would increase a lot going forward. Believers probably won't keep quiet about this matter, so he decided to prepare for possible conflicts. Kazuhiko also decided to keep an eye on Shin, because he could be his asset in the future.
-
After talking to the President, Shin returned to his group.
"Are you guys okay?" Shin appeared beside Aka, Airin and Kichiro.
"Onii-Sama!!" Airin ran to hug Shin. She felt a little insecure when he wasn't around.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me you were going to check something?!" Aka asked, with a slightly irritated expression. She was also worried when Kichiro said that Shin had suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it turned out to be a sudden situation." He replied as he comforted Airin.
"Have you discovered something?" Kichiro asked.
"Well, I found out who was responsible for all this mess." Shin explained the situation to them.
(...)
"The believers?!" Kichiro didn't expect the current situation to be so out of control.
"Well, we can't do anything about this situation. For now, let's just wait." Shin said.
*Sigh!*
"You're right…" Kichiro agreed with a sigh.
"Onii-Sama, let's go!" Airin didn't want to stay in this place. The atmosphere was a little depressing and tense. She preferred to stay in her room.
"I want to go back too." Aka said. Night had already arrived and she wanted to go back to her room.
"Well, we have no reason to stay in this place, let's go."
"Un" 2x.
*yawn*
"See you tomorrow." Kichiro said, with a sleepy expression. He also decided to go back to his house and sleep. Today has been quite hectic for them.
"Well, see you tomorrow." Shin, Aka and Airin said goodbye to Kichiro. After Kichiro left, Shin looked at the two girls and said, "Are you guys hungry?"
"Yes!" 2x
"I'll prepare dinner for you." Shin said with a smile.
"Un!" 2x
They were very happy, because Shin's food was so good.
"Let 's go."
Under the starry sky and the cool night breeze, Shin, Airin and Aka walked together to the dorm.

Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
