《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!

Raccoon's Treasure
People waking up is a part of the usual normal life. An uncountable number of people waking up with fuzzy memories and selective amnesia, only to be greeted with a status screen congratulating them for being a participant of a game? The new normal. Uncertainty follows the realization as the world around them, while looking the same, melts together with memories of what was once called fantasy. New surroundings and blurred borders await as we follow a young man along his path of survival and growth. In this new world power is quantified and upgradeable, traits get objectified and give out boons, while feats, some bigger, some smaller get rewarded. So how hard could it be to procure enough food and water? Genre, tags and content warning are subject to change. They were selected preemptively to cover certain bases for future chapters. I do not have a script only a premise and general outline I will follow along as I write. As this is my first try at writing I'd be overjoyed to get any kind of feedback. Crossposted on QQ
8 147Once Human
Kidnapped, infused with an unknown substance and given an orientation on survival statistics and adaptive evolution from a disembodied voice isn't the best way to wake up after a night of drinking. Finding out your dangling in a metal box above, what appears to be, an alien planet that is to be your new home only makes things worse. With no answers, a plethora of mental health issues, that might just give him an edge if they don't get him killed first, and a strong aversion to being told what to do, a hapless human is deposited onto the Planet Evo with a single mission. Survive. Fiction will contain strong language, gore, sexual content and scenes/concepts that may be traumatising. Read at your own risk.
8 82Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
