《Night's fury》24) The power runes
Advertisement
_The team returned to the capital and are reporting what happened to the queen Ashide._
-Shinso: It appears that you can't use your powers anymore!
-Kaeya: Well! What can I say? It was me who drove myself to this stat. I can't complain about it 🙂.
-Nobu: Don't worry old man, I'll get your powers back it's a promise!
-Ashide: You was so reckless out there Nobu!! We're dealing with something really dangerous! You have to be thankful that Project5 wasn't able to use the 2 elements that he gained recently!
-Shinso: Yeah next time wil be harder kiddo! But doesn't exclude that you did great out there! All of you good job 👏👏
-Reina after pulling a weird stone: Wait a sec guys! Look at this thing?
-Osamu after looking at the stone: I found one as well after defeating the summoner! Her it is
-Nobu: Let me see....... Where did you find it ?
-Reina: It came out of Kira's body!
-Osamu: And it dropped out of the summoner's body as well!
-Ashide: May I have a look ?
-Osamu: With pleasure!
-Reina: Here you are your majesty!
-Ashide: It's a rune stone!!!!! The element is plant magic if I'm not mistaking!
-Nobu: A rune stone??? What are those things??
-Ashide: Was your friend Kira a demon ?
-Nobu: Warhammer gave him some of his demon powers! I assume yes!
-Ashide: The rune stone is something that drops out of the demon's body once he dies. It stocks his element, sacred weapon if he has one, and the magic energy type...... If you break it, the rune will choose someone and gifts him all of it's power. But if it stays actionless all the time, it will disappear and will get reawakened in a new born's body!
-Sayuri: Mr. Kaeya is not a demon and he's still alive! What if we break the rune of concentration magic and the power doesn't return to him ?
-Ashide: Don't worry about that! As long as the owner of the power is still alive, the power will return directly to him!
-Nobu: Well that's a releif 😁😁. I guess we'll be able to return both of your powers then!
-Shinso: If I may ask you your highness, is there one of us that can be chosen by another element ?

-Ashide: Let me be clear to all of you. Those who have pure power raise there hands please!
_Reina, Osamu, Shinso and Kaeya raise their hands._
-Ashide: The pure power is something like really condensed mana! You have an amount of magic energy that is way higher than the others without even training for it! Those who have pure power are simply gifted people and progidies that's all. I'm sorry to say it, but you can't be chosen by another power rune!
-Reina: Oh! I see! Well, too bad 😓.
-Ashide: Reina, since you are the one and only master of the arcane power, you have to know that you're the one who have the highest amount of magic energy in the whole world!!!!
-Reina: Seriously!!!!!!!!! Even though my pure power is getting weaker little by little!!
-Ashide: Your pure power is getting weaker, but you capabilities are getting higher and higher!
-Reina: I don't need another power you know 😎😎😎😎!
-Ashide: Okay, if I'm not wrong, Satomi, Raiden, Katsu and Yagami. You have mana right ?
-Satomi: Yes we have!!
-Ashide: You might be lucky and get chosen by a power rune then 😊.
-Katsu: You hear that Ash ?? I might be chosen!
-Sayuri: I have mana as well our highness!
-Ashide: You're the vessel of the shadow dragon! There is no way that you and Magnus can be chosen by another element!
-Sayuri: 😭😭😭😭
-Nobu: You're making my head wet pipsqueak!!!!!
-Ash: And what about us demons ??
-Ashide: There is a weak chance that you may be chosen you know! As for Kokoa, she already have a second element "the demon cloack"!
-Ashide: And ending it with Nobu!
-Nobu:😃😃.
-Reina: I don't think I like this look!
-Ashide: There is -100000000000% chance that you may be chosen by a power rune.
-Nobu while jumping: YEAAAAHHHH!!!! 😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😊🙂🙂😐😶😶🙁☹
-Nobu: Why is always me 😟
-Ashide: You're case is quiet a special one! You don't have any drop of magic energy, yet you're gifted! Don't you know why you can't be chosen ??
-Nobu: 😃.
-Kokoa: You're the void itself you idiot! The power runes can't even sense you!
-Nobu: I thought that you're dumb without your ultra intelligence thing
-Kokoa while punshing Nobu: Is that so !!!😊.

-Ashide: That's right Kokoa! Nobu, you have to know that you already have two elements, you have demon powers, you have two sacred weapons that are at their full potential! By time, you will discover things that may make unstoppable!
-Nobu: What do you mean??
-Ashide: You are the natural enemy of all of us!!!! Many people think that since you don't have magic power will be a handicap, it's totally the opposite! It's right that you can't fly and sense magic energy! But you already mastered 2 S-r-rank techniques and have a unique skill! You have the power of void and corruption! You're unique in this world! And you have to know that your powers are known for bad fortune!
-Nobu while looking at his bracer: I have a gift! Like all of you! But not only that, I'm unique as well? Actually I can really say that bad luck is a part of me since the beggining of my life!
-Nobu: I will use this power to bring peace to this world, I will join the night's fury and end the war between the kingdoms! Even if it means dying whil trying! I'll die with a smile on my face, knowing that I'll be remembered for the lives I saved and the peace that I brought!
-Reina: The end of our story is far beyond completed! 2 years and 6 months are seperating us from this dream you know!!
-Raiden while holding is knives: Being the strongest soldier is going to be more fun since it became challenging!!
-Sayuri while hitting Nobu' head: Who said that you'll be the strongest soldier??
_the newbies leave the castle leaving Ashide, Shinso and Kaeya alone. Everyone got worked up after hearing those words. For some reason, Kaeya starts crying._
-Shinso: Oh my god what's wrong Mr. Kaeya ????
-Kaeya: No! It's nothing! It's just me and my feelings! Reina, Satomi and Nobu, I raised those three as one of my own! As her majesty said, Reina is a gifted kid since the first day I met him! He even unlocked his sacred weapon and element at 3 years old, that's why he has a scar on his right arm! And Satomi, she found that Reina is way higher than her, that's the reason why she's training the most! And look at her, she became such a fine young lady! As for Nobu, I! I didn't beleive in him at first! I thought that he was just powerless! He keeps standing up every time he falls! Even though most of us thought that it's better for him to give up on his dream, he didn't listen to any of us! Such a pure smile carrying emotions that it's impossible for all of us to hold them without breaking apart at least for once! I'm! I'm really happy! I'm happy that I'm still alive and able to watch grow as much as it takes to acheive their splendid dream!
-Shinso: You're a great man Mr. Kaeya! You stopped beleiving in Nobu to protect him that's all!
-Ashide: Their goal is to make our world perfect as it was 12000 years ago! It may sound like a crazy thing, but those guys have the might to do it! I'm counting on them! The fate of humanity is on their hands! Since the only kingdom that wants to fix this planet and end the war is MY KINGDOM! All of us have to beleive.
-Ashide: Now, returning to what's important! My goal is to shield the whold kingdom with a barrier that lets those who are from the fire kingdom enter with no problem, but if an unfamiliar person tries to come, he won't be able to without my permission! I think you know this right? Now we have two power runes: the summoning rune and the plant rune, 4 runes are missing! If we can beat Project5 and his followers, there is a pretty high chance that we will get what we need!
-Shinso: There is something else that you want to say right?
-Ashide: You god me Mr. Shinso! Satomi, Sayuri, Ash, Katsu, Magnus, Yagami, Kokoa, Osamu, Raiden and Nobu! We may add few others to the team though! But for now, I, Ashide, the queen of the fire kingdom, announce the as sacred soldiers and the team who will go to the night's fury from our part!

Thief Lord
“What is wrong with you!?” That would be what anyone who knows me would say if they knew what I’ve done. They wouldn’t be wrong, as no sane person would ever quit his job the first chance he got when he saw an opening to follow his dream. To become rich and famous by playing video games. What? Did you think my dream wasn’t childish? The best dreams most often are. No? Well, maybe you just don’t dream big enough. Ever think about that? Dreams are never easy to follow, and neither is mine. There are millions of players who want the same as I do, but very few would actually risk their future trying. Following the path of a Villain isn’t easy, and I have a city filled with thousands of players who would love to see me fail. I will show them though. Just you wait and see... ----- This story is currently only posted here on royalroad. The only exception is an up-and-coming narrator names Agro Squerrils who I have given permission to narrate a few of my chapters on his youtube channel.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

The Villainess Always Dies (I'm screwed!)
==Currently being rewritten== Thank you commenters for all the advice you've given. I decided to go back and rewrite and add several chunks to the first half of the story before starting the school arc. :) Update: Chapters 1-4 are edited. There will be an additional arc added later.... Not quite sure how that's going to work out with what's already there but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'll get revenge on my own terms! After experiencing near-death from the plague, Lucina Maelle remembers her previous life as a teenage girl with a heart condition. That girl's favorite video game? Dragon Fantasy XXIV. And who is the wicked villainess from that game, who suffers a horrific death at the hands of the hero? She is! With that knowledge in mind, the solution is simple-- just don't become a villainess. Easier said than done, for even the gods protest her desire for a virtuous life. No matter how Lucina attempts to thwart her future, to ensure justice is achieved, she must go down the path of villainy. Thus, the only solution is to become the ultimate villainess! First, find Valerian, her favorite character who is voiced by her favorite voice actor. He's a part of the hero's party but so long as she meets him first, she knows she can turn him over to her side! Second, become so strong that the hero's party has no chance of defeating her. Third, await the events of the game to begin and spit in the face of gods and fate!Updates Tuesday and Saturday
