《The Ruler of Nameless World》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Ace's blood froze as a chill slowly creeps in. A series of images entered Ace's mind as faint flickers of light filled his vision. He felt his soul so far from the surface. Alone. Slowly, Ace opened his eyes as the light faded.
The room is dirty and cramped. The walls and floors are made of wood. At first glance, this room looks like the building in the Dawn Grimmer. A square table filled half the room. However, there was only one wooden bowl and a glass of water.
Where is this?
He had never seen this place before, but it was all familiar. Two chairs opposite were occupied by a black-haired woman and a boy. His blood rippled as a faint smile formed between the wrinkles on the woman's face.
Ace was silent, his feet were reluctant to step even though they wanted to come closer. When the boy smiled, Ace did not doubt that it was him. Dark blue hair and sapphire irises inherited from his mother, as well as the side that Ace hates the most. At that time Ace was too young to remember the things that made his mother hate him. Too many restrictive rules. Time spent alone in the room waiting for food and inhuman demands.
You must be like your father who is dignified and has social class.
"Just eat it. We only have a few for today.” The woman's thin fingers began to gently feed her.
It was clear she wasn't his mother. Her face full of affection and love is evident in every wrinkle that appears when she smiles. Something that Ace's mother never did when he was a child.
A child ran through Ace's body as the scene changed. He was sitting on the floor with the old red carpet in the restroom. The boy arranged the bamboo blocks into a giant castle, while the woman wept at the dining room table.

The child moved to approach his mother. However, various items were thrown before the boy managed to get close. Ace wanted to approach the boy if only he could. Before he managed to reach it, the scenery had changed. He seemed to be sucked in by something cold. The blue light filled the eyelids.
In the flickering light, he saw hundreds of dragons destroying their city. Ace was wide-eyed. The dragon's powerful magic power has leveled the peaceful city. A black dragon then occupied the top of the palace, declaring victorious, as if the dragons were feasting among a pile of human corpses. On top of the shiny black dragon head, a person stood in an all-black robe. Ace gasped when the figure took off hoodies. Ace knew that man very well.
The ruins of the collapsed buildings have become the graves of the trapped people. In one of the rubble, he saw the child crying in front of the half-female that had been crushed by the building. Ace growled. For no apparent reason, something had cut a part of him. His chest tightened with anger rising.
"You're too weak to protect everyone, Ace Clauser."
The whisper seemed to hit Ace's consciousness. All memories are blurred. The rising anger pulled his consciousness deep into the cold and dark space.
Ace opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything. Dazzling streaks of light filled his vision. He couldn't blink. His whole body ached, his skin felt frozen, like it was about to burst from his muscles and bones. He tried to scream, or at least mumble, but he seemed to have lost control of his bodily functions.
Popping sounds, whimpers, and strange shrieks filled his ears. A deep mutter echoed in his ears as if he was churning the contents of his head. He was on the edge of consciousness, feeling his body slip in and out into the dark, deep, space and was about to devour him. However, on the other hand, it was his soul that recognized the voice.

However, as the darkness and coldness took over, Ace felt warmth run through his body.
"Ace, are you awake?"
A familiar and warm voice. However, Ace couldn't see the figure even though his eyes were open. He wanted to answer, but his tongue was so numb.
"Looks like you've come to your senses."
“So, he's aware too? I thought he was dead."
"Watch your words. You've never experienced this, have you?"
"Wow, take a look. I used to be unconscious for three days, whereas this boy was almost a week. It's too late."
"So noisy."
The voices appeared, one by one, one after another, filling Ace's mind. Where is he now? Why can't he control his own body? Ace cursed inwardly. To him, who had never laid so weak like this, it was humiliating. Moreover, there might be a lot of people around him.
“Ace, can you hear me?”
Ace felt a woman's touch. Could it be Hilla? But, the touch felt softer, felt so close to him. Not like the touch he had known a while ago. There was strange energy flowing through her body. The pain all over his body slowly faded away. After a few minutes, his vision returned to normal. The streak of blinding light turned into a beam of sunlight that hit his face. The energy disappeared, replaced with a sudden hug that made Ace flinch.
"You finally awake, Ace!"
Hugs removed. Ace could see the face of the woman who was looking at him from above. A woman he knew very well. At first, Ace wished he had returned to his world. Then this woman said that everything was just a dream... However, this woman was wearing a long white robe and black high boots. It wasn't Hilfheim's outfit. The sleeveless robe couldn't cover her pale skin, which was dotted with bruises and scars.
Allura.
She's here.
Ace looked at Allura, impatient to hear what the woman had to say. Allura sat across from him with her head down, her hands intertwined.
“When I was about to meet you, I saw this phenomenon happen. A little boy was hit by a train and no one saw him. Without thinking, I was about to approach him, hoping to help the boy. But….” Allura was silent with trembling hands. From the sidelines of his short, flowing hair, Ace could see the woman's frightened face. "He disappeared before I got close to him."

Watch as Li tries to maintain his peaceful daily life in a chaotic world full of magic and knights.===Foreword===Slow Pace: This novel does have a slow pace with things building up piece by piece over time. However, this also means that the further you read, the more connections will begin linking up and the more the story will start building up.OP MC: The MC in this novel is extremely powerful from the very beginning. If this appeals to you, then check this novel out.Crafting/Farming Warning: This is a warning to say that if you are looking for a novel that focuses entirely on a crafting system or farming, then I have to say that this novel does eventually move on from the whole farming premise, getting much larger in scope overall.===Doever Writing Quality Guarantee===I can give a solid guarantee that the writing quality of this novel is of the highest tier on this website.

8 2366The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.
8 141Broken Kaleidoscopes
What if someone told you that there were dimensions alongside ours? Innumerable and impossible to even fathom. That no normal man could ever hope to understand, or even find a way to peer across the everdistant parallels that pervade the multiverse? Now, what if that same person told you that there existed a race that lived outside all dimensions? A race so powerful that, instead of being forced to play along with the rules of your own dimension, they could rewrite all aspects of reality with only a thought. Of course, you would laugh at them. I did too. Then I broke reality the next day. Pictures are not mine.

8 216Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
