Chapter 6: Fathers Grave
“Hey, Zone! Where are you guys going?” Sol asked, running up to them.
“Hey! I wasn’t finished talking with you!” Rose said.
“Sol, it’s rude to just end a conversation randomly.” Zone said, engrossed in explaining part of his book with Mom and Aria.
Sol sulked.
“Fine, you’re right. Sorry, Rose.” Sol said.
Rose sighed.
“At least try to pay attention to your behavior. You’ve started to get lazy. You're the hero, for gods sake.” Rose said.
“Well, there’s nothing to do except laze around.” Sol complained.
“Then train. Practice makes perfect. I don’t mind going a few rounds with you.” Rose said, cracking her knuckles and grinning.
“Wouldn’t the best person to train Sol be Mom?” Aria asked.
Sol and Rose looked at Aria, confused.
“What do you mean by that? What could be better practice than training with a dragon?” Rose asked.
“Hey, Mom. I’m right, aren’t I? Wouldn’t you be the best choice?” Aria asked.
Mom thought for a minute.
“All right, I guess that’s true. I’ll train you for the rest of your stay, Sol. That’s until around noon tomorrow, right?” Mom asked, relenting.
“What? Are you saying that I should fight your mom?” Sol asked, pointing at her with disbelief.
“Does this answer your question?” Mom asked, focusing her mana towards Sol.
The jade pendant Sol carried began to glow.
“It recognizes me still, I guess.” Mom said, as the pendant floated over to her, dropping into her open palm.
Sol stared, rubbing her eyes in surprise.
“That… The jade pendant only recognizes one who has been chosen as hero to control it, right?” Sol asked, counting on her fingers, so baffled that she thought math equations could actually apply to the situation. She also didn't even solve a single one accurately.

“That’s correct. Though you don’t seem to be from the same world as me, unfortunately. I wanted to know how things were going on that side.” Mom pouted.
“You-you-you-YOU’RE A HERO?!?!” Sol screamed, at the top of her lungs.
“Yes, that’s absolutely correct. I’m the one who dealt with the demon king previously.” Mom said.
Sol counted on her fingers some more, doing actual math this time.
“Wasn’t that centuries ago?” Sol asked, remembering what she had been taught from the history books.
“Apparently it was. In our final battle, we broke through time. We arrived here around 23 years ago. Our life has been peaceful ever since. It was a miracle. Something I can never be thankful enough for. It makes me ecstatic!” Mom said, dancing happily, lost in her memories.
“What? Peaceful? Our? I also never heard of any battle with a demon king 23 years ago.” Sol said.
“We fell in love before we knew anything about each other, and I learned who he was about a year later, in the middle of a blood soaked battlefield, caused by a large-scale battle. I couldn’t tell who was more devastated.” Mom said sadly.
“How are you here, then?” Sol asked.
“He worked that entire time on developing a way to break our fate. He succeeded in his efforts, at the very last moment, right before my sword was about to pierce his heart. I can’t tell you how surprised I was... Or how much I cried, when he told me what happened. I can still feel him holding me in his arms as the tears fell, dropping from my eyes, whenever I think back.” Mom said, putting her hand on top of her head and smiling.
Her bottom mouth quivered, and her eyes squeezed shut. Her legs almost gave out.

“He used to pet me all the time, just like this.” She almost cried.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and shook her head.
She stood up straight.
"Mom..." Zone said.
“No. It’s already been 9 years since the accident. I’m fine, don’t worry.” She said, brushing off Zone, who was trying to comfort her.
“Sol. I’ll be training you. Alright?” Mom asked, trying to steady herself.
Sol looked at her, in awe.
“You’re a legend… right in front of me… a living legend, someone revered as a messenger of god is standing right in front of my eyes...I must be dreaming.” Sol mumbled, not even noticing that her idol had almost broken down into a sobbing mess.
Her mind was focused on one thing.
The Hero.

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job. Please expect an erratic release schedule.)

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”
