《Ain't No Rest for the Wicked》Ancient War Of God And Magus
Advertisement
In the Aryana Continent, there are innumerable tales and epics singing stories and praises to the great era as well as the tragedy of the legendary wars. There are so many bards and scholars sharing various of old stories and many a time in their own version too, that it's rather hard to distinguish what is actually a fact or just a tale fabricated to please and awe others.
But the one thing that stood out the most is the history and meaning behind the battle aura and the myth surrounding them. People seek to understand what they held in high regards so there are no lacks of immortal tales and historic book detailing their origin.
One such is the epic War of Magus and Gods. This was an epic held in highest regards by almost every scholar, it depicts the conflict between the magi and the gods thousands of years ago.
The tale has always captivated the people of Aryana and has even been accepted as a part of their culture and history.
Legend says that thousands of years ago, the world was rife with magic and great magi and sages dominated the world. The era was of the truth seekers who only care about unearthing the mysteries of the world. Their quest was unending and their power were monstrous, trailing through the path of truth and submerging into unending riddles and paradox of nature, they were able to establish themselves as the sovereign rulers.
They soon reached a point where the continent wasn't good enough to quench their thirst so, they stepped into the vast and infinite cosmic world trying to search for more and reach greater heights in their conquest as they set off to the stars in search for other planar worlds. Those ancient Magus were extremely mysterious and smart but outside their comfort zone and onto a foreign greater stage they quickly become aware of the fact, that they were weaker in prowess in a combat against the warriors and protector of other planes.
After they had made countless expeditions and invested their everything, they won't just back down now after a bit of setback, and the one thing that Magus were most proud of, were their ability to learn and invent! They integrated the various worlds knowledge and found unimaginable ways to strengthen themselves in the path of chasing the truth. They made drastic changes in their thinking, many failed and were doomed but their failure always motivated them to keep going, each mistake was a lesson and through those lesson and endeavor they soon brought the other planes on their knees, the Magi sweep the planer wars achieving victory after victory, they integrated and devour the world's resources and it's knowledge as it acted as an elixir which made them more dangerous and powerful. They become a class feared by all for their ways and techniques.

Through those numerous methods to reach greater power level and gain ability to retaliate and conquer the planes, there was one which was in a class of itself.
Various magi in search of power turned their attention to myriads of magical beasts and their superior physical strength, they wanted to tame them but it wasn't worth it because the beast that they could tame were of relatively low intelligence and could not efficiently comprehend the magi's instructions, while on the other hand those ancient creatures who could be powerful as well as intelligent weren't possible to tame.
And the magical beasts usually ended up destroying everything and ruin their target which wasn't in accordance to the truth seeker who desired to gain as much profits as possible. The rationality was also a difficult problem. They can order those magical beast but they cannot change it's frenzied nature.
Finally, after long periods of brainstorming, experimenting, testing and studying the magi got a spark of inspiration from a certain cosmic tribe as they retrieved the bloodline from the ancient creatures and injected those bloodline into Magus. Those bloodline soon achieved a greater status because they were capable of doing everything a magi could and in addition they had greater power but eventually they also faces their downfall.
But the idea once manifested, especially when it yielded amazing results is not easy to give up so, those Bloodline Magus who were termed "Battle Sorcerer" kept on conducting more experiment in this field and eventually they took blood from strong magical beasts and transition that into humans who could not train in the art of magic, and through the use of a magic formation, coupled with their hundreds of years of understanding and exploring of blood, Battle Aura was manifested.
The very idea of turning the huge and ever growing common population into warriors capable of fight was thrilling and inspiring.
As expected, Battle Aura totally changed the world of humans. Those ancient scripture which were impossible for humans to even dream of gaining anything from, were no longer as unreachable as before. Obviously Battle Aura users weren't a match for the true rulers of the magi world but as they have now find a way to achieve strength, a certain status also followed them. Various technique were studied which resulted in the formation of a new path and possessing a different power techniques to train in Battle Aura.

The magically inept humans trieved against magical beasts without the protection of the magi. They were an excellent choice for subordinates, not only were they capable, powerful and logical Battle Aura users were also beings under their control. This helped in greatly lessening the magi's responsibilities to protect and direct the humans and civilization in all the ruled planes hence, allowing them more time to pursue their own interests, it also provided the magi with a formidable army.
Following the discovery and successful result of it's practice, various other types of blood from different magical beasts were integrated into the human body and thus different types of Battle Aura attributes were identified. This provided for a matching and more appreciated myriad of skills which raised the overall quality of the research value.
Battle Aura awakening and training occurred with the aid of magical formations and various other otherworldly aids. Of course, the resources spend were proportionate to the gains If not then the greedy and miser Magi would have dropped this project long ago.
The Battle Sorcerer also categorized the different ranks of power and their difference in abilities. The battle sorcerer were far and few because their conditions to nurture were much strict so, the Battle Aura users were their vassals in extension and also were their assets. With the extensive research conducted by them, Battle Aura training got easier and faster and humans with Battle Aura started showing up everywhere, with their training speeds getting faster and faster. In time, The unfathomable peak realm of Battle Aura User, Sword Gods roamed the world and Sword Saints were littered all over the place.
Those thousand years were the most glorious era of the humans. The countless planes conquered by them supplied Aryana with an massive amount of resources and riches. The glory of that era could only be imagined and it would still be a underestimate, Battle Aura users were everywhere as it became the most usual power cultivation method. Various geniuses rose which even attracted the attention of the ancient Battle Sorcerer's and the living, cultivation and training conditions were unimaginable lavish.
At that time, the enchanting beautiful elves danced for the humans, the gourmet plane chief's cooked them wondrous delicacies, the stone race built them majestic palaces, the proud dragons and phoenix served as their mounts, the various ancient creatures served to their command; all the other races revered the humans and treated them with utmost respect and fear.
However, something drastic happened which sparked the beginning of the end and led to the downfall of the whole human dominance.
Some expert Magi explorers of the boundless void discovered that they were not the only ones with unimaginable strength in fact, they was a race much more fearsome and unfathomable than them. In the far edge of the astral plane they found the evidence of a world filled with resources. The magi discovered to their astonishment and greed that all the resources they have plundered and were available in the countless planes did not even come close up to quantity and quality of the resources on the plane of at the far edge. Both of their worlds were at the opposite far edges and in an estimated way, it could be announced that they occupy the two half of the whole void.
On that plane were countless high grade magical materials, the purest of resources as well as the legendary technique and practice, as well as the key to the secrets of immortality.
The name of that plane came to be the Origin God plane.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
