《Mother of Monsters》Chapter 12: Three Friends
Advertisement
here were 6 booths in total, each line had 2 booths managing the people signing up for the entrance exam. It was obvious, which line was meant for the nobles and which were meant for the commoners. There weren't many in line, so Alexa and Evia made their way to the one for commoners, while Adriane headed over to the first booth, meant for nobles.
As they approached the man mining the booth, grumbled something and pulled a few sheets of paper out and handed them to us, without a word. Evia looked down at the paper and began to fill it out.
Name: Evia
Title: Lady of the Deadly Night, Reaper of pitiful hum... None.
Age: 14
Magic or Martial Magor: Magic
Talents: Taming, Fire, earth, wind elements. Fighting.
There weren't much else to say. Apparently, you weren't considered very important unless you actually passed the test. The talents had been a bit hard because she was good at everything! But, water and metal were not her strongest. She didn't like water all that much, considering for disagreements with Poisidan. She had added the last one sort of on a whim. While true, she could fight with a blade she always left that sort of thing to Areas.
The scruffy man handed her a small patch that had the crest of the school on it. It looked much like a royal crest, with two griffins facing each other, and a golden X in the middle. It was supposed to identify her as a participant for the trails.
Peeking over at Alexa's sheet, it read.
Name: Alexa Vernandez
Titles: none.
Age: 17
Magic or Martial: Material
Talents: Hunting, Archey
Evia raised an eyebrow and nodded, before handing her own sheet into the sleepy looking human and running over to Adrinae and grabbing his sheet, ignoring his protests. The girls read out loud.

Name: Adriane Allerton
Titles: Son of Lord Allerton and heir to the Allerton house.
Age: 16
Magic or Material: Magic
Talents: Sword Play, and strong Fire element.
Adrinae finally swipes the paperback and hands it to the attendant, not noticing as Evia swipes his wallet out of his pocket. Laughing she waved it in front of him, with a yelp of surprise and anger he tries to grab it back, but she dances out of the way. Then throwing it Alexa who ran a couple feet, letting Adriane chase after her before throwing it back.
The three ran after each other until the reached a clearing on the top of a hill, where the three collapsed gasping for breath. In the dimming sunlight, a free goddess smiles happily to herself as she talks with her friends.
But, they were too far away to hear the screams.

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

This fiction has been concluded as of the end of Book 1, the portion of the story posted here. There will be a complete rewrite as a separate fiction in the future to make the system more consistent and add more to the world while expanding on the events within this fiction. This rewrite will begin eventually, posted as a separate story. Colt, twelve, is walking home from school when he's approached by another boy dressed oddly, who asks him - theoretically - about living in another world. After asking some information about the theoretical other world, Colt says he'd probably prefer to live there, to get away from the problems he has on Earth. Once Colt confirms that, he finds himself in an abandoned city, the other boy revealing himself to be a god, who then offers to train Colt until he can stand on his own and live by himself. After a couple of months, the god sends Colt off for greater training, to learn to use both Aura and Mana, with his only instructions being to return every now and then to visit, and to make friends and have lots of fun. This story follows Colt, a boy named Tyler he meets in the new city, and their journey to growing stronger, having fun, and striving to beat each other. Note: this story is not intended to be professional-quality, and it does draw inspiration from many sources. That said, it is its own story, in its own world. It has never been and never will be edited. It will also have multiple PoV's, starting somewhere after Chapter 8.
