《Project Burnout》Chapter 19: Splits in Plan

The creature was left standing, Kiorif knelled, one bullet had crashed into the ground, another being lost.
“ROOKIE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” Kiorif rose up to pick up the gun in a heff of protest.
“WELL LOOK,” Rookie snapped back with her free hand towards the creature and Tomobi, and it was an odd sight to see. Tomobi was shielded in full view of the creature, it still snarled whilst leaving itself exposed to what could have happened. Not taking a step further.
"Tomobi could've got shot,"
“That doesn’t matter. It is a dangerous thing,”
“So shooting him is not?” Kiorif was about to make a comment, but Rookie rashly started walking forward.
“Rookie stop,” Kiorif ordered whilst she moved closer and closer, the creature seemed to have shared the idea as its focus was on Rookie.
It kept still as it snarled towards her, keeping its body closer to Tomobi.
“Hey it’s okay, Tomobi is my friend too,” Rookie riskily lowered her guard as she continued to move forward, though a hand was close to her hip.
"It's just that you have been scaring people and we need to find out what to do for you," Her hand now isolated from safety reached out the back of the creature. Its back raised for just a moment and grew into a bellow. And when her hand touched it the creature moved back, herding Tomobi as it moved back.
“Okay no touchy,” Rookie moved back, the creature still stayed on edge whilst Kiorif looked with unwavering focus. Seeing that Rookie won't try anything else its eyes focused on Kiorif as well, it growled at him. Tomobi was unsure what to do, but he calmly patted the creature. And while it jolted at first, it slowly relaxed.

“You like that huh? Tomobi, go scratch that side,” in an out-of-place moment, the tension was weakened as they began to message the same beast they were to slay.

“But his face was absolutely priceless by the end of it,” Rookie laughed at the end of her story, with Spoon and Sprout joining in. Though they were the odd ones out, as others were more cautious with the large-scaled monster planted by their farm. The creature was just as cautious, staying close to Tomobi who kept scratching to keep it calm.
“Well I was actually expecting some sort of crazy battle story,” Spoon lowered his smile slightly to a soft wince.
“Speaking of battle,” Kiorif reentered the conversation, showing a little emotion under his face.
“Where were you? We told you that if we were to do anything you would follow,” Spoon and Sprout both looked awkwardly. Though Spoon was brave enough to continue the conversation.
“Well, you see,”

Sprout, Spoon, and some others were sitting further behind Rookie and Kiorif.
"Alright is everybody ready," Spoon tried rallying the group, which responded with half-hearted cheers and groans.
“Great, so what's the signal again?” Spoon didn’t get a response from anybody.
“Wait, none of you know?”
“You don't either,” One of the women snapped back.
“Mary you know me, you shouldn’t set the standard high,”
“That’s for women, not common sense. Now can anybody remember-”
“Hold up, what are my standards with women?” everybody looked away, though one of the VitaNavs spoke out
“Spoon don’t take offense, we like you and all. But, you have to admit that you are kinda a perv,” Spoon raised his hands in shock.
“You’re calling me a pervert, what about 3 weeks ago with Abi you slimeball,” The group bickered with each other while Sprout started to rest her head on a thick patch of grass.

“I had to defend myself, my pride was on the line," Kiorif had a faint twitch in his eyes as Spoon started to sweat.
"But hey it’s kinda a good thing that we didn’t interfere, with you guys getting along with it. So, all well end well right Sprout,”
“Yeah, I agree with that,” both moved slightly as Kiorif steamed through his nose.
“I can’t believe you all,”
“Well like we said it’s kinda a good thing right. Everything has been solved, we got the creature,”
“No, it hasn’t. We need to find out what it is, then what to do with it,”
“Relax,” Spoon boldly cut him off as he placed his hand on Kiorif’s shoulder.
“I’m sure we can contact somebody who can take care of it,” Spoon pulled his hand back as Kiorif looked over it.
“Really?” Rookie looked over to Tomobi and the creature.
“Thought we could keep it,”
“No,” Kiorif was blunt as he turned to Rookie.
“Absolutely not,”
“Calm down, it’s just a joke. I know it's not like we can keep it or anything,” Rookie brushed it off.
“I mean you could,” Spoon blurted out, Sprout sharply jabbing his gut.
“You serious?” Rookie had excitement burst into her eyes, Kiorif had a faint groan instead.
“Don’t bother with what he is saying, he's an idiot,” Sprout tried pushing Spoon away but had his hand instead cover her face.
“Yeah, you can. I remember a bunch of tribes that have traveled here had got critters with them. And they ha-OWOW” Sprout bit on Spoons hand.
“Spoon they were different,” Sprout finally spoke out.
“Those were galliraptors and dromeo-toads. Not giant beasts like that one,”
“What about those big boars?” The two continued their debate while Kiorif kept his eyes on the creature.
“It would be a helpful guard,” Rookie whispered to Kiorif, who brushed her off.
“We don’t have time to pet sit. We need to go find somewhere to restock and fix things,” Turning to Sprout and Spoon he separated their scuffle.
“Where is the closest place to get my gun fixed,” both thought about where a good place to be.
“Well anywhere near the capital, they are filled with brainiacs and it is a rich place,” Spoon suggested.
“And how far is that?”
“Well it should take you a couple of mont-Oh right,” Spoon’s face fell.
“Alright, can you say a reasonable place,” Kiorif looked over to Sprout.
“Hmm,” she rubbed her chin to think.
“What an outpost or military base? They got weapons and stuff, so they could fix it,”
“Then I will be using your computer again,” Kiorif and Rookie went inside while Tomobi continued to stay by the creature.
It cooed and licked his hand in return as it brushed its head against him.

8 54The Undying Magician
How would a true immortal with average talent in magic fare within a world where magic is everything? In the world of Aria, only a small fraction of the population are classified as magicians.These magicians are able to use magic through the manipulation of the mana they are born with and are the core of the military strength within every nation.However, one nation in particular uses magicians to an even higher extreme than the others.This nation is known as The Republic of Arcania.The largest power in Aria. Our story follows Nathan Fox as he graduates from high school and is sent to the Arcane Academy for his required military training as a magician before he eventually serves his ten year term in the military.Nathan has been a true immortal ever since he got a semi-magical disease that makes any damage done to his body instantly reverse itself, bringing him back to his top form on the day that he became an immortal. Ever since then, it has been impossible for Nathan to die.But there are worse things in the world than death.And if the power-hungry magicians of the world were to learn of Nathan's true immortality?Then he might just experience those things himself. What will happen to Nathan as he traverses life in the academy?Will his secret be found out?Or will he be able to safely make it through the four years of academy life with his secret intact? That has yet to be foretold. The beginning of the story starts out slow for what many Royal Road readers are used to and then speeds up after around chapter 20 or so. It is a school arc, so it is supposed to be slow. Most of the combat and action isn't seen until after these chapters, which you can view as an introduction to the world, the characters, and magic itself. Many of the reviews are outdated due to edits I've been making along the way through the story. Specifically some of the edits going over the world itself, including pointing out in the story some of the things a few of the reviewers missed when they wrote their reviews, along with fixing other things that were pointed out in the story from the reviews and comments. This book is also being edited as it's being written, so some small parts might change as I get suggestions from readers. I do not write harem or sexual content in my stories. Ever.

This story was previously known as "The Awakening".~*~"One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed."Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice."One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..."Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same."One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting."Where are you?
