In the World of Ten Thousand Races, within the Prik range.
There is a blond middle-aged man who was sitting in a lotus position he seems in deep thought. The man was recalling his encounter with Alexander, he continue to rewind his memories for several times, he recalled his consciousness battle he had with Alexander after the piece of consciousness merge back with him.
At first, he was in tranquil state all of sudden he frowned, little by little the memories he studied, his expression went from astonishment to state of shock.
He could not help but to stare at the sky and ponder.
(I can’t believe such a being was born in the lower realm, his cultivation may be shallow but his understanding of the heavens far surpasses even someone like me, oh my daughter you were indeed destined to surpass your old man).
(Incredible, I want to test that monster, the world as we know will soon change. You can say that due to the arrogance of our ancestor we might be in danger)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Auphera continent, Kingdom like the one Alexander resided can only be considered as small and insignificant. Far from that place, a Kingdom called Republic Uri which its vastness far surpassed them, there it was not ruled by royal family but council formed by representatives of the sects that has been elected.
Throughout the history there were several royalties had rebelled and destroy their protector who they had served. Many times this had happen, so the sect sent limited potential elders from their sect to avoid problems should they declined.
These countries are not that uncommon within the continent. Generally the countries are governed by sovereign monarchy and aristocracy, this generally in Kingdom, Empire and Dynasty.
In these countries, the noble title represent power and because of that commoner was treated less respect almost to the level of slaves.

There are also constitutional monarchy, where there are only royal families and not nobles. Within the land the family member are well known politics which have more influence than their King or Emperor, which caused the King and Emperor to loses their political stability.
Because of that, no one had taken seriously the title bestowed by the royal family.
Lastly, there are republics and states which are govern by specifically by local families and the sects ruled with equality, with no royal family or powerhouses backing them.
The representative of the republics for Presidency term of office are around 16 years, before the next vote will be chosen.
There are other place that are being govern under “Theocracy” the most influential. They are devotee who worshipped the saints in the legends who have ascended to the higher world, this place are govern by the churches.
This kind of teaching does not harmonized with aristocracy monarchy. As there are also demons ascended in this continent they also have worshipper devotee and which sometimes churches took advantage of it, some noble are accused of blasphemy and servant of demons. This happen to those who had opposed them.
The Uri Republic are governed by 4 Families and 4 Sects, they are: Drayton Family, Cordner Family, Carew Family, Jordan Family, Sun sect, Star Cult, Bamboo Valley, and Artemis Temple.
Near the border of Uri Republic, there is a city called Starry Hedge. This is the land of merchants, naturally many kinds of shops and varieties can be found here.
The City’s gate are guarded by soldiers, suddenly rumbling sounds reverberated through their ears. From the view of the top gate the guards can saw a carriage with sizable size that can at least accommodate 40 people inside.
Slowly it approaches toward the gate, as the rumbling sound reverberated to the point it was ear-splitting. The carriage was pulled by more than 32 wild beasts of level 2. Slowly as the carriage come to full-view the soldier had their focus on it. They saw a symbol of Ridge a bright grey star on the front view of the carriage. This represent and belonged to one of the four ruling families of the republic, The Carew family.

The Carew family was well-known for their transportation business. Despite the fact that they have other source of income, their main business is the transportation service.
Due to their credible reputation, in the past there were number of bandits who had assaulted the convoys of the Carew family but all of them had the same end annihilation. Because of that, they have many clients and merchants acquire for their services.
Even with the reputable secure service, there are some daring bandits who assaulted their convoys. There was a famous saying in the republic, “If you want to win popularity, you must use everything Carew”
Many believe conspiracy is everywhere, some said the Carew convoy didn’t annihilate the bandits but rather paid them the bandit to make set up and change their name to rise their fame. This was one of the most popular rumour but there were no authentication of the said rumour was real.
Once they saw the Carew emblem, they guards didn’t dare to stop the carriage. On normal occasion, any carriage or people trying to get into the city would be stopped for inspection.
The other reason they didn’t dare to stop the carriage was because the city’s lord was from the Carew family
Because of this, the carriage arrived into the city without obstruction.
After the carriage set foot in the city, they went to a small square and stopped. Which the coachman when down from his post to open the door of the passenger.
He greeted the passenger by “Thank you for your patronage with Carew, we hope to be a service for your next trip”
With that, the passengers slowly went out of the carriage one at a time. Lastly an elder went out of the carriage and walked toward the coachman and said: “Good sir, can you tell me if there are sects or family recruiting soon?”
Listening to the elder’s question the coachman’s eyes shows a little contemn. Seeing contemn in his eye the elder didn’t lose his composure and smile as if in understand and took a gold coin from his pocket and threw it at the coachman.
“Dear customer, as far as this one knows, very soon the sun sect starts recruiting disciples in Sunlake City, around three months from now.
Hearing this the elder’s eyes shined in hope. He thanked the coachman for the information and turned to his group which consist of 3 ten years old children, 3 middle-aged women, 2 middle-aged men and another elderly man.
This group was Francis Keer and his family. They had traveled for three years without obstruction and finally arrived in the Uri Republic.

Curse of Change (Hiatus)
(Hiatus to work of my other fiction)What if the world was keeping secrets? Secrets so dark and powerful that one must simply be unaware of them lest they be destroyed. Experiments that are too horrible to reveal, hidden monsters too terrible to release. Darkness the overwhelms the light, power that trumps all, beings of ferocity unseen by the masses. What would you do if you stumbled across one of these secrets? What COULD you do?------------------------------------------------------------[Hey everyone, this is MultiBlitz15. Apart from writing stories for english class in school, this is my first time ever writing a fiction, so please bear with me. I intend this to be a story involving the ""what if's"" of life and the darker sides of humanity. The story will start on Earth but will escalate into something much, much more. That is where the fantasy tag will come into play. On the topic of tags, some of them may not be permanent and some simply haven't been added yet. Also, I DO NOT intend to include sex scenes or major tragedy in my fiction. While there might be sexual references and minor tragedies, there shouldn't be anything beyond that. Finally, this fiction is rated Mature 18+ due to the incredible amounts of blood, gore, brutality, and other stuff I intend to include. Thank you, and please enjoy the story!](P.S If you find grammar mistakes, please let me know in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it.)(P.P.S I finished adding more content to the previous chapters!!)

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
