《Deep Within》Chapter 11
Advertisement
In a familiar white void, also known as the spirit world, the elven woman from before floated about, seeming to be watching something. Suddenly, a little boy with fairy wings and elf ears came from behind her and stood next to her.
“Mommy?”
“Yes, Jovar?”
“When is daddy gonna be here?” he said, looking awfully sad.
“He’ll be here soon… I’m sure of it.”
“I hope so… I really miss him…”
“I do too… He’ll be here, don’t worry.” she said, patting his head.
“Please get here soon, Grust… Please don’t do anything rash…” she said as her son looked up at her.
◆◆◆
In the dark basement of the arena, Grust floated about. Mordecai and Azlana were getting ready for the show, so he was all alone. An eye appeared on his face, it glowed in the dark damp room.
“Can you hear me? It’s me…” he said to a mysterious person who wasn’t even in the room with him.
“Elizabeth joined the others… Well… Her name isn’t even Elizabeth. She’s Derek’s sister, Petra Valtaheim. I’m gonna need your help now… We have to see that my vision comes to fruition… I trust that you won’t fail me…”
His eye glowed even brighter, symbolizing his satisfaction. And then, it suddenly went dim.
“The stone is gone… Uh— nothing… Thank you… big brother…”
As his eye disappeared he floated there in silence.
He began to wonder why he felt that the stone was gone, Azlana was supposed to be the one who had it. Had she misplaced it? Did she leave it in her hotel room? He hoped that was the case. He began to hate himself for even allowing himself to even get bound to the stone, he’d have so much more freedom if he wasn’t bound to that accursed thing. But something within it kept him from attempting to detach himself from it. Something very convincing and influential.

He hoped the stone would be back in Azlana’s hands soon.
◆◆◆
A shadowy figure hopped from building to building in the moonlight, seeming to be enjoying himself.
“I’ve been caaaalled~ It’s finally my turn to help out!” the figure thought.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment for 19 years, ever since that very day.”
The figure landed on a building and stood up. Walking into the moonlight, he reveled in his long-awaited opportunity.
“I won’t fail you, Grust…”

Understanding a cultivation world
A modern man armed with having read a few novels about cultivation is suddenly transmigrated to a cultivation world. He fights to both survive and thrive in this new archaic world full of arrogant young masters, demonic sects, and incredibly hostile wildlife. Note: In this story, I wanted to focus a lot more on what most novels skim past in regards to cultivation, namely the whole, spiritual growth aspect that seems to be entirely absent from the prosses of obtaining enlightenment the majority of the time, but the method of gaining cultivation. how it works, and what kind of world would develop around it are all things I wish to explore in this novel.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
