*10 minutes before the last chapter*
"So now that you now the ranking system and where your room is, do you have any other questions?" Tio says with her voice full of confidence that she explained everything thoroughly. Externia puts her finger on her chin and begins to think about the questions she can ask while she still has a chance.
"What rank is Frew?" Externia asks.
"He is a Rank A."
"*tsk* Why is he such a high rank compared to my D rank?" Externia asks with an annoyed voice.
"That's confidential." Tio says with a serious tone. Externia takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh. She knows that Ryan one of the most skilled Gods combat wise and can be the most charismatic one if he really wants too. Still, the fact Externia knows that Ryan is better than her annoys Externia to the core.
Externia hasn't decided when to address the elephant in the room as the elephant is in fact sitting right beside her. Black, smoky aura pours from the young girl Lilabelle as she sits there, staring off into space. Externia doesn't know if Tio has noticed it yet and has decided to not bring it up, til now.
Small Ice Crystals form at Externia's finger tips as she is wary of what will happen when she brings this up but there is no avoiding it.
"Let's not cut corners," Externia says in a cold voice. "What is Lilabelle exactly. You can't hide the fact from me that she isn't human."
Tio gives Lilabelle an angry stare and then looks back towards Externia, giving her an unconvincing smile.
"What do you mean Externia?" Tio says while laughing nervously. Externia looks back over at Lilabelle.
'The aura is completely gone, no hidden. If they think that they can trick me they are sorely mistaken!'

The room becomes 20 degrees cooler and Tio begins to have flashbacks of when she was frozen the first time. Knowing that Lilabelle had been caught and they can no longer keep this facade up, Tio begins to explain her and Lilabelle's back story but before she can Lilabelle gets up.
"You explain, I'm going to go find Frew so we can do something interesting together." Lilabelle says this with an innocent sounding voice but Tio knows the true reason why she wants to see Frew. Sad at what will most likely become of Ryan after Lilabelle is done sucking the power out of him, Tio starts her story from the first time she met Lilabelle with a depressed tone.
As Lilabelle leaves the room, she is startled to see a tall man leaning against the wall beside the door. This feeling of being startled is replaced with joy as Lilabelle recognizes it is Ryan. Black tentacles dlowly escape Lilabelle's body as she can feel herself being drawn to the enormous amount of power inside of Ryan, ripe for the taking.
As the tentacles find their way into Ryan's body, Lilabelle can feel his heavenly power seep into her small framed body. Lilabelle gets really close to Ryan and puts her body against his. She looks up into his face and looks longily at him while he sleeps.
'It's a shame that you are the Abyss Watcher's summon. You could made a good partner and husband for what is to come through the world. Too bad they took you before I could.' Lilabelle thinks to her self as she lets out a sad sigh. She had her chance to summon a godly power from another but missed it because she was taking a nap. Being one of the 20 candidates to be able to do this, Lilabelle should've looked more into when the summoning day was.

A tinge of pain goes through Lilabelle's hand as she goes to caress the face of the man in front of her, causing Lilabelle to take a step backwards. Ryan's eyes begin to flutter as he awakens from his sleep. Ryan takes a deep breath and is relieved to see a familiar face in front of him but Ryan's eyes twitch. The color of his brown irises change to a deep. shining gold and Lilabelle's true form is revealed to Ryan.
Ryan's expression goes from relieved to horrified quickly as he looks closer at Lilabelle. Lilabelle is confused by this and decides to confront him about it.
"What's wrong Ryan?"

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Kind Devil
Five veteran players of the old-fashioned but outdated VRMMO game, Orge's Bone, meet in the game for one last time before leaving forever. As real life friends, they were torn apart by certain matters, and now decided to say goodbye in the way they know best; a free for all battle royale. However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace. It will center a lot around how he'll change the perspectives of those around him, and how he tries to draft more cultivators to his cause, starting with the toughest nut to crack, the ruthless, bloodthirsty and easily-triggered Rector. Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.

The Ramayana - Lakshmila's POV
We have read The Ramayana as kids and always knew it to be the story of Rama and his consort Sita. Every character has an important role to play. But not all of them have found much importance is any of the version. One such character is Urmila and her story with Lakshmana. All versions mention Urmila's sacrifice as "Unparalleled" but none depicted it. This story is an attempt to present the story of Ramayana from Urmila and Lakshmana's POV. Note : This story is fictional. The characters are the same. This story is an insight of The Ramayana through Lakshman and Urmila's eyes. There would be Nobody's POV also. The events are the same but the depiction is part of fiction. Parts of the story is loosely based/inspired from Sita's Sister but I have taken creative liberty to give my character more edge and depth.
