3. Ice- Emperor
As 7 years old it was his time for spiritual awakening ceremony where each child will get a blessing from god and awake their spiritual wheel.
“Son, don’t worry your father was blessed by the low-god Iron Emperor whereas I was blessed by the demi-god Forest Queen. You are more talented than us in every way. You will get blessed from a higher god. I know”
“Son, we will be proud to have one more warrior in our family. Hahaha”
Whole family father, mother and son reached the capital for their son’s spiritual awaking ceremony which will be held for 15 days straight. As there is only one gathering place Heavenly Temple all the 7-year-old had to gather and wait for their turn.
Shivaay and his family reached the 7th day. He was nervous and also excited. They went towards the exit of the station.
“Brother, as usewell you are always late. Did your stupid son jump out of the train?” the black beard man appeared once again. Beside him is a young boy of Shivaay’s age looking at Shivaay with a mocking face.
Shivaay saw him after 7 years but his mother told him he was his father’s elder brother and his uncle. He was always jealous of his younger brother as he showed great talent in his early life. But later after his father’s accident his uncle did not leave a single opportunity to harass them and even illegally occupying their ancestral home and throwing his younger brother and sister-in-law out.
They say he is a high ranking official in the imperial court, but he did not look much. Shivaay thought.
“You. It's enough I am not gonna hear a single word from you” A grey halo rose up below his father in the ground.

“Do you think yourself as the same genius” A sky blue halo rose up with his uncle as its centre.
Shivaay knew lighter the colour of halo is the more powerful the person is. As for the colour it depends on the blessing, as his uncle is blessed by the demi-god Water Saint it shows blue in colour.
His uncle had a recent breakthrough to the Navel chakra. There is no chance his father could win.
His parents were astonished looking below. All the people walking in the station stopped to watch the commotion going on.
At the same time the commotion felt under the surveillance of the station protection force.
“Hey what you all doing, don’t you know its a crime to fight in the capital. Disperse now or we will put both of you in the jail” the police officer shouted.
“Today you are really lucky younger brother you could go back in one piece. Even my son got blessed from the low god Ice-Emperor ,your family would be lucky if your son gets blessed even from a human. Hahaha.”
“We will see about that elder brother. Hump!”
“Don’t worry uncle I will personally come to challenge your son” Shivaay said staring at his uncle.
Both the father and son duo left.
“Doesn't he know anything about how to respect elders. It will be better if you let me beat the crap out of him father” son of the uncle said.
“We will have more opportunities for that, after you attend school and learn powerful skills don’t let him live” his uncle smiled and said to his own son.
“Okay father” his son also smiled.
Henry looked at the furious Shivaay and said “He got blessed by the ice-emperor, even among the low-level god it falls in the top ten. You can’t win unless you get blessed by a higher god and I know you could do it” his father assured him.
Shivaay couldn’t stop staring in the direction his uncle’s son went, although they left a long time ago and nowhere to be found.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

8 199Death Regulator
Humans have lived on earth unopposed and alone for thousands upon thousands of years. Finding mundane existence boring, they have created stories of magic and monsters to sooth their lucrative imagination for as long as history can remember. Arik was one of these very same humans.

The stuff of comic books. He was a deathless. Normally it would be all sunshine and rainbows, but Arik is inevitably brought face to face with others like him. Only they aren’t half as kind, and are intent on “eating” his super powers. The battle for his unlife is on. Can he make this second chance worth it?
8 309Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.
8 126An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
