Chapter 18 - U Can't Touch This
The soldiers, adventurers, and even the armed townspeople are surrounding my crew and me. We are forced to push through them to escape the town. I spot a single flying wyvern in the air with an armored knight in the sky flying in a circle. They have air surveillance covered too. If we were just an ordinary group of people this would be checkmate. However, we are not. I have Saber lead the charge and cut us a path through the crowd.
During the chaos. I notice the temp slave Dominic disappeared. He probably made use of the commotion to escape. It is no big deal since I decided to release him upon leaving town anyway. Lancer being the weakest of us and riding on the wagon is a big target. Thus, I have Caster ride on the wagon too with her while casting defensive spells.
“Someone stop their advance!! They will escape at this rate!!” -???
“These guys are crazy strong!! Nothing is hurting them!!" -???
"Even arrows just bounce off their bodies!! It is unreal!!” -???
“You idiots just overwhelm them with numbers!!” -???
“Let the whole town descend on their asses!! As long as the elf is captured then it is all that matters!!” -???
“Caster use [Explosion] on the blockade!!” –Dasas
“On it leader!! [Explosion]!!” -Caster
I hear loud yelling and cursing along with their crazy war cry. These people get extremely riled up when we take down their blockade. We are finally able to push through the crowd of armed enemies and escape the town. The horses are severely injured so our speed has dropped.
I look back to see a large mob of people chasing after us. Some are mounted on horses as well, They are almost upon us. Truly, it is as one of them said. It is almost as if the entire town is coming after us. I do not remember seeing this many people in town when I walked around earlier today.
“Chief the horses won’t make it. They are too battered. We losing speed after we finally broke through the blockade.” –Rider
“Usually in such a situation we be doomed. Nope I don’t think so!!” –Dasas
Seeing the large sea of people behind chasing us. It is such a surreal scene. Like it is straight out of a movie. Truly, a fantasy movie that should not be possible in reality. Here it is happening right before my eyes. The very ground tremble and quake with their horse hooves and running steps. It gave me an idea.
“Listen up everyone! I will delay their chase with my spell!! Caster. I need ya to cast [Float] on our group to avoid getting us hurt.” –Dasas
The rage and adrenaline rush made me frustrated enough to do an attack myself. These fools who dare attack us. I finally can test out my summoning magic on live targets. I call upon my earth avatar spirit.

A large yellow summoning circle appears. A gorilla of colossus size made of shining stone rise out of it. Caster’s [Float] spell is active on the group. Making us hover five feet off the ground. I am confident we should be okay. I release the spell I am conjuring. The angry armed mob is almost upon us. I yell out the spell.
“Earth Spirit!! I command thee!! [Earthquake]!!!” –Dasas
After yelling out the chant. The gorilla earth spirit drums his chest with his fists. Then uses them to hammer down on the ground. A small crack appear then it rapidly enlarges to epic proportions. A loud vibrating noise start to shake my eardrums. Making me feel as if I will go deaf. Looks like the very earth is splitting in two. The forest in the distance is turning over.
The town of Ezra that is less than a mile away is literally sinking into the ground. Almost looks like the movie San Andreas. I wanted to wave an American flag as a testament to the sheer power of this spell. ‘MURICA!! The damage scaled up a hundred times from when it was in-game. The difference is astronomical. I can only think it is due to me being part of the divine race now.
“Damn leader!! That is what I call a true AOE spell!! I am in awe!!” –Caster
I just want to delay the army of enemies a bit. End up wiping out everything before my eyes. All that is left is a huge canyon. I notice the shocked expression on the only enemy left alive. Who can be seen with my eyes. The knight still riding on his flying dragon. I do not know if it’s the adrenaline rush. The rising emotions or just the fact that what just happened seem too crazy. I had a huge urge to move my body.
While pointing my finger at the knight on his flying dragon. I start to sing and dance.
“U can’t touch this!!” –Dasas

“That's good when you know you're down!!” –Dasas
The NPCs recognize my dance moves since I tend to dance a lot out of boredom in-game while alone in my mansion. They start to copy my dance steps and moves as we made a synchronized dance.
“I told you homeboy u can't touch this!!” –Dasas
“Cold on a mission so pull on back!!” –Dasas
“Yo I told you u can't touch this!!” –Dasas
“Every time you see me that Hammer's just so hype!!” –Dasas
“I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic!!” –Dasas
“Can't touch this!! OH OH OH OH OH!!–Dasas
Then I notice the expression of disbelief and confusion on Lancer’s face. I got embarrassed and realize what I was doing. I stop singing and dancing. In awkwardness while looking down. I yell out.

“Sooooo yea…Let the world know the god Dasas has cometh!! Let them know this is only the beginning…errr Caster please blast away the dragon rider with wind magic. Don’t kill him. I need him as a witness to my glory...” –Dasas
I can feel the heat rise up in my face. The shame of what I have just done kicked in. At least this will be a wake-up call for this kingdom of Fori.
“Bye bye dragoon! [Wind Blast]!!” –Caster
I see the dragon rider is blown away in the distance. He won’t be able to track us now hopefully. Only thing I can do now is sigh in frustration at what happened. Left clueless to what to do now.
+++
The large earthquake was felt throughout all of the kingdom of Fori. Some people claim it was the end of the world. While others panicked when news of demons attacking a town in Bourdain’s territory. It made a large influx of people start praying to the goddess Lana for salvation. The news of course also reached the royal capital and panic ensued in the royal court.
“Theodore Nicholas IV. The king of Fori is not present. He appears to be hiding in his chambers?” -???
“His majesty is totally useless when trouble brews. We can only rely on the queen Cecilia. The king’s wife to take care of business as usual.” -???
“Aye a puppet king. Where the wife is pulling all the strings.” -???
“The queen promotes women rights. It only applies to the privileged women of noble blood. It means they get more power than before which is disheartening.” -???
“Aye. At least it does not apply to women who are of common lineage and slaves.” -???
“Yes. When the noble women abuse their power. We can only take out our rage and frustrations on common women and slaves after all.” -???
“True enough. I love to find women that look like my wife and beat them to death. It's very satisfying.” -???
“Hahaha. I should try that too.” -???
“Since the demon attack happened in the Bourdain territory. It should be their problem not ours.”
“So true!” -???
+++
In the eastern part of the kingdom of Fori. A group of elves wearing hooded cloaks arrive following the scent of the massive burst of earth spirit power being released in the land.
“That was a massive surge of spirit power. It must be the work of the entity the Priestess warned us about.” –Byron
“Well at least it made it easy for us to track. Good news I suppose…” –Calista
“With that amount of spirit power. I am unsure if we can handle it. I doubt we can capture it. Only thing we can do is destroy it on sight.” –Byron
“For the safety of the great forest and the world!! We shall bet our lives on it!!” –Calista
“For the great forest and for the world!!!” –All the elves in the group
“I still recall the event over three hundred years ago. When the demon king with his army attacked the land. Then a hero appeared.” –Byron
“The hero’s group that the Priestess joined. The fight to slay the demon king when she was younger. Sadly, I was born after the event.” –Calista
“It seems the Priestess was in love with the Hero. Who died while taking down the Demon King.” –Byron
“Oh what is this? Are you in love with the Priestess? It explains why you have been single all this time.” –Calista
“Silence!!” –Byron
“Get yourself a partner already.” –Calista
“Hmph!! I am the strongest in the village. It is difficult as I am seen as a mentor. Also, the only woman capable is you. But I can only see you as a younger sister.” –Byron
“No worries. Not like I was interested anyway…” –Calista
“Who knows. Maybe there is an elvan woman out there for me…” -Byron
+++
In the most Northern tip of the Zorya Continent. A land full of ice stands a white hidden temple. Within the empty cold temple lays a single coffin made of ice layered with runes. The runes light up as the coffin of ice start to melt. The form of a woman rises out of the steam created by the melting ice.
“Ohhhh. My master!! The great goddess Lana have finally awaken!!” -???
“Ah is that you Anita Sarkeesian my valkyrie?” –Lana
“Yes it is my master!” –Anita
“How long have I been in slumber?” –Lana
“A little over three hundred years my master.” –Anita
“Barely anytime has passed then. Truly a short nap.” –Lana
“Ah yes to one such as divine. It is but a blink of an eye but to mortals it is several lifetimes.” –Anita
“Is that so…I a fallen divine rejected by the world due to my injured soul has once again risen. Thanks to the massive faith energy healing my soul.” –Lana
“Yes my goddess during your sleep. I made sure the people still worshipped you. I just manipulated the women of noble lineage. Instilling the ideas of women rights into their heads so they can control their husbands. In doing so I was able to keep your faith in tact even with your divine barriers around the churches disappearing.” –Anita
“No thanks to that wretched Hero. I summoned from another world injuring me. Now I can finally return to the world as its administrator. Thanks for your loyalty Anita Sarkeesian my valkyrie.” –Lana
“All for the great goddess.” –Anita
+++
Back to Dasas…
I get a chill crawl up my spine as if a bad premonition will head my way in the future. Usually, I don’t believe in having a sixth sense. I can’t deny it if it is in a divine body. A pop-up message window appears.
Another administrator for the world of Anahita has descended.
“Well shit!” –Dasas
Guess that really was the result of a sixth sense. Bah now what to do…

City of Captives
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the City press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with Essence to power the City in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! This is largely still a draft. I hope to use any comments and reviews in the future. Thanks for reading!

They were bestowed with cool abilities like, [Fireball], [Heal], or [Summoning]. Some used it for the greater good, others for their own benefit. However, some had meh ability Like my sis, she had [Daily Spin] that allowed her to get a random gift every-day I knew another guy that had [Spicy Breath] spewing fire from his mouth whenever he ate something spicy As for me! i had [Mini-map] as my ability! like what the hell! seriously!? Now I’m stuck with a box on the top right that blocks 1/16 of my vision… Right, i didn't forget to mention about monster right?
