《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 5 - A new Awakening
Advertisement
I was shocked to see Frederick was in the other world with me. I thought that maybe Frederick could also have this ability, although that wasn't likely. Knowing Frederick, he would've lost his mind a while ago in this world, and also have told everyone his adventures here. Confused, I tried to ask the fake Frederick some questions.
"Why are you following me?" I asked him, "What do you want with me?"
"It's my job; my boss has asked me to keep an eye on you" Frederick answered with.
"Who is your boss?" I asked Frederick.
"That I cannot answer, Dyne."
My theory was correct, and this man was not Frederick, he was instead a different being. Usually, Frederick would've called me Dye, not Dyne, which was unlike him. The next question then came into my head, so I decided to open my mouth again.
"Are you Frederick?" I asked him, already knowing the answer.
"No, I am not Frederick, I just take the form of who you were angry at last, it's my soul ability" The person responded, putting his right hand on his chest.
"What should I call you then?" I asked him.
"My name is Renagoro, but you can just call me Ren,"
"Well then Ren, why have you only appeared now, when your job was to keep an eye on me,"
"Because you had to awaken a power first, and you have today,"
"What do you mean 'awaken a power'?" I quoted him.
"You have a new elemental source, much more powerful than your source of wind,"
I was overflowed with joy! A new source after so long, I guess taking that beating from Frederick wasn't that bad now. I pushed that joy down and kept a calm attitude, looking at Ren again.

"What source, which one?" I asked Ren, crossing my arms.
"That you'll have to find out for yourself," Ren spoke.
Suddenly I felt the world around me was fading; I was waking up. Before I regained consciousness, I heard seven words from Ren.
"See you soon, and good luck... er." I couldn't make out the final word.
I woke up and saw that I was in the school's resting area, where the injured would be treated. I look around to see to the left of me was a beaten Fredrick laying on a layer of furry hides.
'At least I injured him a bit,' I thought, but most of the injuries were probably from his father scolding him.
I turned to my right side to see my mother was sat down on a chair next to my bed. She looked up and saw that I was awake; her mouth turned into a smile.
"Oh Dyne, I thought you would never wake up," my mother whimpered.
"It's ok mum, I'm here," I put my hand on her head.
"Ah, it seems the boy is awake." The Headmaster'sHeadmaster's voice came from outside a door.
The HeadmasterHeadmaster then entered with an empty cup in his right hand. I look behind him to see that Lance had also come to see me. After Lance came in, two dog-like beasteals came in soon after and went towards Fredericks side. After they caught a glimpse of me with my eyes open, both of the beasteals snarled at me. I looked back and saw that the Headmaster came close to my bedside, he started filling up the glass with tiny pieces of ice, which melted soon after being created, creating a cup of water.
"Dyne, I'm glad to see that you're awake, please forgive me for healing you without your permission," The HeadmasterHeadmaster chuckled.

"Will you knock me out again if I say no, Sir?" I asked the Headmaster.
"Haha, no, and please don't call me sir, Dyne. Instead, you can call me Mr Nadone, or just Headmaster."
As Mr Nadone handed me the cup of water, I felt much better already. I was about to take a sip, but when my lips touched the water, they became fused with the water, I look down to see that the top of the cup was filled with ice. As I finally get my lips off the frozen liquid, I was quite pissed at all the people around me. I turned towards Mr Nadone since he is the only one with the advanced source of ice in the village Daishin.
"Was that a joke to you!" I yelled at Mr Nadone.
"No, that wasn't me, I swear!" Mr Nadone answered, putting his open hands above his head.
"... So if it wasn't you, then who was it?" I asked everyone.
As I look at everyone in the room, examining their sources which I already know off by heart. None of them was lying based on Lance's look, and I didn't see or feel Ren stalking me, even though he didn't have the source of ice.
I then remembered that Ren said something about a new power and this was it.
I grab the chilled water off the table next to me, and I focused intensely on it. The small bits of ice which had almost melted then turned the entire glass of water into ice. Everyone around me was shocked as well. Not only did I have a new source, but it was an advanced source, the advanced source of ice.
"Oh Dyne that amazing, you have a new source, as well as it being advanced already," My mom started to whimper again.
"Well, next time you face Frederick, your gonna be even stronger," Lance chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess so," I replied.
"Well since it seems that your awake, you're excused from the resting area." Mr Nadone uttered.
As I get up from my hospital bed, I saw that Frederick was now awake, slowly sitting up. I was about to leave when I heard a 'Hey punk' from behind me. Fredrick's face was made a scowl, and Using up a lot of his strength, Frederick pointed the finger at me.
"Don't get cocky because you got a new powerful source; I'll still beat you... Dye" Frederick barley wisped out.
"Well, just remember, you'll also have to train quite a bit yourself, " I replied, smiling.
After that, I left the room to go back home with my mum. I was waiting to see what new powers my ice source had.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
