《A New Light In Interria》Chapter 16: Conflicts
Advertisement
I hastily collected the flakes that were scattered all over the room and put them in a small bag in my backpack. Then I turned to Veene.
"My arm just now was a transformation skill. You don't have to worry." I tried to look calm as I spoke.
"Of course, Mr. Hades." The girl answered bluntly.
"And just then when I was in the bathroom, I saw bloodstains. Is it you?" I ask.
"Mr. Hades, that's...it's..." The girl hesitated.
"Just tell me, Veene. Whatever it is, I won't blame you." I pat her head.
"I just don't want you to get worried."
Saying that Veene turned around, took off her shirt, and revealed 3-4 long overlapping scars that were still on her back and a bruise. One of them had healed and faded while the others appeared to have been lightly washed by water.
"Probably from the Legions. Those bastards." I thought to myself.
"Mr. Hades, you don't need to worry too much. I've already washed the wound with water, so it'll be fine in a few days." The girl said while putting her shirt back on.
"That won't be enough. I won't be able to rest easy if you happen to have an infection. Do you remember the Drain Touch skill?"
"Yes, Mr. Hades." She looked at me with a questionable look.
"Then can you use it on me?" I said that as I extended my hand toward her.
"Are you sure, Mr. Hades?" The girl was scared.
"I will be fine. Just do it, your wound healing is more important." I hold the girl's hand.
Veene was silent and cast his skill. Her surroundings began to emit white mana. She absorbed all of her mana, it seemed that things were getting better. I started to feel more tired, my face became paler. But if Veene is okay then fine...

"Arghh.." My mouth suddenly spurted out blood. I covered my mouth with my hand and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Hades, you…are…" She was beginning to panic.
"It's okay, I'm just…" Despite saying that, blood still gushed out of my mouth.
"I need to go find Sophia, she'll know what to do." Saying that she rushed out of the room before I could stop her.

MP has decreased, is it because I used that skill for too long. Damn, I can't even stand up.
"Hades, I hear you're not feeling well. I'll go see what's wrong with you?" Sophia burst into the room and lifted me, with Veene and Puff behind.
"I'm fine, it's just…" I tried to straighten up.
"Overuse mana, right?" Sophia said while she was taking a white potion out of her pocket and giving it to me.
"What is this." I took the potion.
"Drink it. And what the hell is going on here, Veene." She looked at Veene.
I drank the potion, it tasted quite sweet like sugar mixed with water.
"That's because of me, Lord Hades just wanted to heal the wound on my back," Veena said.
"Wound ?" Sophia asked.
"Umm..." Veene stammered.
Sophia sighed, turned Veene around, and untied Veene's shirt revealing the scars on her back.
"Listen, Sophia, can I explain?"
"Tch. Please explain this to me very clearly, Hades. Why are there scars on Veene, otherwise…" Sophia pulled a pistol from her right thigh and pointed it at me.

"Sister Sophia, please listen to my explanation." Veene looked at Sophia and me, tears starting to fall on her rosy cheeks.
"Listen, Sophia. If I was the one who caused this, I wouldn't have come this far." I explain.
"Then who caused it, Hades?" Sophia asked angrily as her finger slowly pull the trigger.
"Sister Sophia, please this is not Mr. Hades' fault. It is the fault of this slave." Veene grabbed Sophia's shirt, knelt on the ground, and removed the cloth from her right arm.
It turned out to be a circular tattoo illuminated by an X.
"Oh, my Morlock. Slave imprint ?" Sophia was stunned.
"Lord Hades saved me from being in prison. I owe him my life so I beg sister Sophia not to kill Mr. Hades." Veene grabbed Sophia by the shirt and knelt on the ground.
"Veene." I stepped closer and reached out to support Veene.
"Mr. Hades, please don't touch me." In response to my heart, Veene jumped back in fear. When she calmed down, she replied shakingly.
"Veene, lie down on the bed, and I'll make the ointment." Sophia sighed then picked up a piece of cloth and gave it to Veene to cover the tattoo on her right arm.
When I think I have understood a bit more about this world, there is still much more to know.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

The Five Series - redemption
Book 1 - Redemption Three generations have passed since the last near-apocalyptic war. Civilization is beginning to thrive again at an ever increasing pace. The burden of society has been once again placed on the back of a massive robotic workforce, creating a huge divide between industrial glory, and those forced to live in its shadow. Many have stubbornly held onto the old ways of self-governance from back when the government fell, but with its return, life in Welan City is changing. Aaron, a middle-aged man, who is stuck in the rut of daily life, witnesses a murder and finds himself in trouble, love, and the middle of a highly secretive robotics project. Aaron stakes his life on helping a prototype survive, and pays for it dearly. Passionate hate, love, and indifference send life in Welan City spiraling out of control, leaving no one innocent in the end. The Five Series is, well, a series. I've completed 3 of the books so far and will finish with a fourth, maybe fifth book. Book 1 is heavy on the character development side while the following will be much more decision and consequence oriented. This story reaches into the soul of a person and the universe we live in. Some people deserve a second chance, and some do not. With that im mind, no one really ever gets what they deserve though, do they? Always tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can, they could be gone tomorrow. Would that change if you could always bring them back? I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Cody

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
