《The Connections》The Archives
Advertisement
The two doors open up to a large room with 25 massive bookshelves reaching up three stories. Each one filled with books and Artifacts. The walls were equally filled with paintings of all sorts. In the middle of the room was an obelisk made of dark and smooth stone. On each side of the obelisk was a digital screen. Conner pulled Zach to the obelisk and tapped one of the digital screens and an image of three crystals in a triangular formation. Each of the crystals had a single color, the top one was yellow, the bottom left was red, and the bottom right was blue. The crystals lit up and a voice coming from somewhere in the obelisk said “What are you looking for?”.
“Archives please.” Conner said.
The blue crystal shattered and the shards formed a search engine and a digital keyboard appeared from below the screen border. Conner looked over to Zach.
“What was that saying again?” Conner asked.
“People tend to think what they want to; they don’t realize it that often.” Zach repeated.
Conner typed it into the search engine and tapped enter. Suddenly the screen went black, but just as suddenly the screen came back on and a robotic voice said “information not identified.” Then the first voice said “Where did you come by this information?”
“It came from me. Why?” Zach said.
“The information you submitted is not in the archives and the archives have all the information that exists now.” The voice said.
“Do you know what that means Zach?” Conner asked.
“No. What does it mean?” Zach replied.
“It means that saying is an original idea. You had an original idea Zach.” Conner said excitedly.
A crowd of onlookers Zach had not seen gather around him started to whisper among themselves. Zach stared at Conner with a look close to disbelief.
“Wait, if I had an original idea then wouldn’t I have an ability also?” Zach said.
“Maybe you haven’t discovered what your ability is yet.” Conner countered.
“Uh this is a little too much to work through yet. I need some time.” Zach said, turning to leave the library.
“Wait, you need to be tested.” Conner said, but it was too late, Zach had already disappeared into the crowd.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)
