《Curses》12. The Thirteenth seat
Advertisement
Twelve beings sit around a table with thirteen seats. They shuffle somewhat nervously. “Why isn’t he here? He had his spells copied. He killed the demon lord by himself. So why isn’t he here?”
“Is there another requirement? Did he not hit level 500?”
The group pauses for a second before one of them says, “He didn’t… how did kill the demon lord.”
“It says here that he made a 4th tier spell that replicates our immortality.”
“What kinda downside did that have for it to be tier 4, not tier 6”
“Lots, just look at, the list it keeps going on and on. Over 100 downsides for it to work at tier 4.”
“We need him to be the one to fill the last seat then. All in favor of keeping the seat for him.”
Ten agreements could be heard around the table. All turn to the last one to speak, waiting for an answer.
“I can’t in good conscience let that monster ascend to our level. Did not read what he did, he wiped out over ten hub floors with one spell! Hundred of thousands of beings have died by his actions.”
“There was no way to know what would happen with a spreading curse. It was cast on a giant tribe, not a human settlement.”
“It’s not like most of us are better, especially you.”
“That was hundreds of years ago.”
“And his never happened now.”
“Fine, my vote is yes.”

I opened my eyes and looked around only to see a screen in my face.
[CHANGE COMPLEATE]
Then I feel it. The mana around me. It was similar to how it was when I make spells. I couldn’t be happier. If this was how it was before my bloodline awakened, what would it be when it was? With the ability to manipulate mana like this, making spells would be even easier. If I was a mage this would be the best as I could have manipulated my spells as they were cast. But I’m not so it’s just for making spells.

As I sit up, Tyler looks over with worry, “What happened? You just told me not to take you till the hospital then passed out for 10 minutes.”
“When I tried to tell you about {Pestilance} it triggered something. That something copied the spells I’ve made. Then I got some rewards for giving it the spells.”
“What kinda rewards did you get?” Tyler asks, now seeing I’m fine pulls back onto the road.
“It changed my bloodline?”
“Like your family or am I missing something.”
“Have they not hit floor 46 yet?”
“From what I’ve heard they just hit floor 43.”
“That makes sense, you can awaken a power the comes from your heritage or bloodline. You can also develop a new one, separate from your family instead. Oh ya, yours is a sixth sense that warns you of danger. It was pretty strong.”
“My old one boosted my mana, but my new one makes controlling mana way easier. How long till we are at the tower?”
“About 30 minutes, why?”
“I need to test some stuff.”

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
