《Hero? Again? No Way》Chapter 8

Chapter 8
My daily life in Celestial Plane is peaceful and full of events. Attending the Divine Academy, meeting new people, venturing through the Plane of Agony, training myself to become stronger and much more.
The Celestial Plane, or we could call it as an upper-world, is the world where the higher being existed and live there. For the mortal, they might as well call this place a “Heaven”. Though it is not wrong to call it as “Heaven” but this word doesn’t completely define this world. This is the place where the Sovereign reside and they’re the leader of the world. Other than the Sovereign, there is still another kind of being who resides this place such as angels, devils, divine being and the apostles of the Sovereign as the citizens.
In that day, I live with Amare in her small world that only consists of one small hut and a sacred forest. Amare is a Sovereign who governs the relationship between mortals as her title says, The Governor of Love. When I meet her for the first time after Domesticis sent me away, I had already been trashed outside her small hut. She didn’t let me in for a whole day. As I keep waiting in front of the hut while begging her to let me enter, I subconsciously slept because of the fatigue.
The reason for this is, she doesn’t need any apostle to support her duty. For a person like me, who had been revived in the Celestial Plane which I hadn’t been given any explanation of the cause, he or she will be sent toward their respective Sovereign to work as an apostle. Where the apostle will act as an intermediator between the Sovereign and the lower-world or we could say “doing the odd-job for the boss”.

“Huh? You’re still here?”
After waking up from my peaceful sleep, I found myself lying on the floor while First Love-sama is standing and stare at me with a dubious expression. She is the most beautiful person I had seen in my life ( Though this is the second time I met a woman in this life. ). She has a long pink silky hair that reaches her waist. I can see her turquoise eyes that brightly shine with loveliness when she stares at me. She is wearing a white robe that covered all her body with a hoodie on her back. You could say that she depict the perfect pure goddess. With the sunlight shining her face, I can only focus looking on her. After being entranced with her appearance for a while I suddenly realize the situation.
“………! Please don’t abandon me First Love-sama! I’ve just been sent here without knowing anything at all!”
She makes a surprised face and it's suddenly turned into anger. But she’s still beautiful.
“Ha!? Just what the heck is Domesticis doing?”
“Uh, I don’t know? That creepy blonde woman is called Domesticis?”
“Creepy? Ahahahaha! That’s true! She’s creepy isn’t she?”
“Yes, she is! Wearing revealing cloth and suddenly confessed to me! And then throws me out of nowhere because she was rejected!”
When I said that, her eyes widened up and her mouth starts to trembles. But she’s still beautiful.
“Eh? Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am!”
“Ahahahahahaaha! You are so funny! Ahahaahaha, I can totally imagine her face!”
After laughing beautifully for some time, First Love-sama suddenly stops and stare at me. She’s still beautiful, though.
“Now then, what’s your name?”
“Uhm, I don’t remember? Miss blonde had just given me a vague explanation and sent me here suddenly.”

“Ehh? Seriously? Just what is she doing?”
*Sigh*
With a pained face, she starts to sigh heavily and stare at my face with a pity.
“Well, you see, if you’re revived in this plane you should be given a name by, Domesticis, Management Regulator. And that is the important part, as the name given by her will be the first name, while the second name that will be given by the Sovereign who accept you as their apostle. The first name given by her will depended on your achievement in your past life. For the second one, it doesn’t mean much as it depends on the Sovereign.”
“Sovereign?”
“What…. I have to start from there?”
“Uhm… I’m sorry.”
“No no, there’s no need for you to apologize it’s all because of that woman. But for now, let me finish my work first, I’ll explain it to you after finishing it. By the way, what do you mean by First Love-sama?”
“I had fallen in love with you the first time I saw you!”
With a surprised expression, she laughs beautifully again and smiles at me. Truly beautiful.
“Ahahahahaah! Really? That makes me happy, so work hard to make me fall in love with you too!”
“For sure, First Love-sama! By the way, what is your name?”
“Ah that’s right, I haven’t told you that aren’t I? I am Amare, the one who governs “love”. Or you could say, Governor of Love.”
With a graceful bow, she introduces herself to me. Ah….it seems I had fallen in love again.
That is the second mistake that I had made. To make her fall in love with me.
And the first mistake? For me too fall in love with her.
****
“HEROSSSS!”
“Hahahaha! Stop shouting and have some fun Ius! HRAHHHH!”
*Cling!* *Cling!*
Right now I am directly clashing with Ius as both of us are in a stalemate position. After obtaining my back, I can finally fight with her head-on. After pondering for a while, I found the reason why I can’t summon .
“Just how can you have the !!?? JUST HOW!??”
“Haaa? Obviously, it’s because I had reached the extremity stage! You think I can’t!?”
The reason is because I have not become a Sovereign yet. After becoming a Sovereign, an individual will produce the Sanctus mana which is a unique energy that can only be held by the Sovereign. Now when I think of it back, the first time I summon my is in front of master after all. Seriously just why the hell master didn’t tell me about this?! That explain why I can summon it in the battle with Basileus.
“What do you mean by it’s obvious!!?? There has been no record for an apostle to awaken their at all!!”
“Blah blah blah, keep blabbering and you’ll lose ya’ know?”
If the battle flow is like this, it would probably go in my flow. But that certainly will be slow and disadvantageous for me. I’ll never know when that woman will appear.
Now then let’s end this fast.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 187Thaellis A Kingdom Down Under
A kingdom down under, once it had prospered, expanded, built, and conquered until all that they thought of worth was theirs. Peace ruled for a time the people absorbed in their own self-satisfaction. But eventually, old urges returned. Conquest called, though this time there was no outside outlet to turn it towards. So in ages so long and distant the memories most couldn’t recall, the kingdom turned upon itself. War raged for many years, no one coming close to being considered a victor, it appeared that this self-destruction would go on till nothing was left. Many if given the chance would have claimed that would have been a mercy for this kingdom and its people. For as they killed, and butchered each other over things they already had. Vibrations traveled through rock and stone guiding things best left alone. Creatures came things of horror armed to the teeth with claws, fangs, and armor. Cities fell and were consumed not even the bones of individuals remained, for these creatures hunger knew no limits, had no end. The kingdom rallied together once more, what was left, they fought and fought but their Nightmare had no end. Their greatest, brightest minds worked their magic, carved into stone. Wards they called them, this would keep their Nightmares away. They abandoned attempts to fight and focused on walling every surface of the kingdom with these Wards. It worked mostly, an illusion of peace returned, one that crumbled often, but it was better than before, it was a bearable hell now. So here we start our story as ages have passed for a walled-off kingdom, hunted by a never-ending Nightmare. With a poor but deserving soul born into this world.

The gods play with the fates of people through their incomprehensible games. And what about you? Are you caught as well in the steely trap of destiny? Are you a pawn? Queen? Or maybe a future player? And what is the meaning of the game? What are millions of universes created and destroyed for? You will have to find out for yourself... The author himself is lost. There is no story, no leading idea. There is only the infinite bending of everything and anything in the name of the triumph of meaninglessness. The author just pours endless streams of graphomania on the mind of careless readers. Beware! Graphomurk! *** This is translation of Russian.
