《Tarros》Chapter 7 I'm free
Advertisement
While the battle was taking place between the two Transcended Demons.
Caleb who was lying on the bed felt the intensity of the magical fluctuations inside the room. A loud explosion woke him up from his deepest despair.
Caleb opened up his eyes for a very long time. Suddenly, there was a menacing magical aura that envelope the entire area. It scattered like a locust to the point that Caleb's breathing was getting heavier. Then, the magical aura was even intensified with another magical aura. This time, it was a grim and menacing magical aura that even suffocates Caleb.
"What the hell is happening?" Caleb's expression was gloomy as he breath faster.
Then, the chains around him violently shook. The chains were having problems reflecting all the magical aura. As if it was affected by it.
Slowly, the chain's power lost its effects. Unable to suppress the magical aura, the chain snapped and disintegrate gently.
Suddenly, as the chain power disappeared, Caleb felt energy began to run through his body. Caleb's strength began to return and Caleb felt that his body was so light.
"Ahhh! Ahh!!" Caleb inhaled deeply as he tried to calm himself.
"I'm free?" Caleb looked at his trembling hands in disbelief.
"How long did I suffer in this place?" Then, Caleb's body trembled. He clenched his fist and slowly said, "I'm free..."
Caleb walked out from his bed and stood up. The feeling of not touching the floor for a very long time makes Caleb emotional.
"Let's see what's happening around here." Caleb looked in front of him and saw unfamiliar figures.
"Are those Transcended Demons?" Caleb was momentarily shocked. Transcended Demons were universal bosses that can only found on the game called Tarros. Tarros was a VRMMORPG game that surpassed everything.

'Why are they here? Am I inside the game?'
Caleb's initial findings shocked him but he immediately dismissed it, 'No, that is impossible. The pain I experienced here where all real. That kind of pain was impossible in the current Tarros technology.'
While Caleb was troubled to figure out what's happening, Caleb snapped out of his daze as he saw a familiar figure hovering in the air.
'You!!' Caleb's felt a sudden rage burning inside of him. Memories of being tortured endlessly flashed through his mind. It was the worst nightmare for him.
What Caleb want right now was to take revenge. As he steps forward, Caleb saw one of the Transcended Demons doing something. Then, the Transcended Demon released a terrifying aura.
'A fourfold casting?!!' Caleb's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he saw the Transcended Demon cast a spell. 'Fourfold casting was a heaven-defying technique!'
Caleb's knowledge about magic was top-notch and fourfold casting was something he knew. Only a few players knew this technique and it beyond the player reach. Up to his current knowledge, no one in the entire game knew how to used this kind of technique. This event's caused a huge shock on Caleb.
This aura reached Caleb like an angry gust of wind. 'What a strong aura!' Caleb was shocked as he guards his face with his trembling hands.
Then another shocking thing happened. Caleb's wild instinct sense another aura, this aura was mystical and yet full of killing intent. He peeked his eyes and saw millions of swords formed in the air. Then a gigantic winged woman holding a staff appeared.
'That woman? She can also invoke fourfold-casting!!?'
This series of events makes Caleb rendered speechless. 'Crap! I nearly killed my self there!'

Caleb nearly causes his own diminish if he followed his heart desire for revenge.
'These things are all inside the game, there's no way these can happen in real life. This place is only a game. A set of binary data.' Caleb tried to encourage himself. He was sweating profusely. What he experienced here was an entirely different level.
Then Caleb decided to wait for now. Caleb step back and hid behind the bed and carefully analyze the situation. 'I need to be careful or else they will notice me.'
While hiding, an idea popped out of his mind.
'How should I forget that!' Caleb slapped his face in disbelief.
'If I am inside the game, then the in-game functions should work.'
Caleb decided to try.
Moments later...
'This.. this is bullshit.'
No matter how much he tried, the in-game functions are not showing up in front of him like he usually does. The in-game functions, like his character status panel, inventory, menu, skill menu where nowhere to be seen.
'This is getting creepier. Perhaps...' Suddenly, realization struck Caleb.
'Did I transported inside the game?' This was the conclusion that came out of his mind. Looking at his current status, there's no way that these are all inside the game, not even on earth.
'What happened to my current status? Are all my items still there? How about my skills? What is my level now? Is my level now is the same with my in-game character level?'
Caleb massaged his temples as he was unable to find the answers to all his questions. 'This is insane.'

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress.
