《Rise of the Undead king》Rise of the Undead king part 33

We made haste as the first snow landed. Once it settled on my face, I felt a distortion. We were almost running now, although we were trying not to draw attention to ourselves. Some people looked at us, none of them really minded. Even the guards seemed to have other things to worry about. So our way home was flawless. No one spoke to us and we had nothing to do with any of the guards. Inside we ran upstairs to her room unwrapping the sweets. The dark brown beneath the paper seemed to shine. Woooow, we were both in awe. She looked at me, 'okay Jacob, open up.'
She broke off a small cube and put it in my mouth. It's a bit strange to feed me, but if it makes her happy. The cube landed inside my mouth 'Do you like it?' she asked with hopeful eyes. This taste was pretty nice, almost as nice as meat would have tasted. Very much delicious still. 'Hmmm, it's pretty good.' She frowned, 'you don't seem to be very enthusiastic.' Putting a cube in her own mouth. Hmmm, amazing. I'll give it to you, it's not as good as usual. But still, is there something wrong with your taste buds?’
' I think they have changed, it's still very nice, but yeah...'
'Ow yes of course.' she looked down a bit, but quickly returned to me. 'do you want another piece?'
I softly smiled at her, she was being sweet. 'Yes, very much. When I'm with you, everything tastes better.' Her cheeks turned red, 'why do you say that?'
I say things without thinking.... having to apologize later 'It's true, I'm sorry.'
'Don't be sorry about that.' She looked at me with her red flushed face, 'it's… sweet.'

We stayed there up in her room just talking. When we ran out of things to say I asked her about the college. She described it to me, It looks awful from the outside, some sort of bunker. It's been built like this in ancient times. Because even before humans landed here, monsters would be drawn to skilled individuals with magic. On the inside, however, it's completely different there are tapestries everywhere and they've created windows that only work one-way angling in the same way as the steep outside walls. It's overall pleasant, I think. I don't know who will teach you since an affinity with healing is rare. but You might end up with a pupil of the order of life, who knows.
Ow! And we have two janitors who are twins, they are very easy-going. Sometimes you can catch one of them in a bad mood though, then you just better get away from him. You will understand when you get there.
'I think we're going to have lots of fun together. Even though I'm going to be a second year.
And before we go you should be able to mix your energies completely.'
The color seemed to drip from my face 'But I'm only halfway there!'
She nodded without a care in the world 'That's true but there is a way to do it I hoped you would've discovered it on your own, but I guess you are pretty stubborn, so you never tried a different approach.’
I lifted my hand to the back of my head. 'Hehe, well. I thought I just focus on trying my hardest.'
'Yes, the will stands basic to any magic, but I'll give you a tip, combine ideas of everyday life into shaping your magic. Since these concepts are edged deep inside your memory and are very strong.'

'Interesting.' I smiled at her, 'so I could try and see it as fluids and just steer it up?'
She squeezed her lips in a thin line and nodded dryly. 'I think you should try that and see what happens, it's important to find your own way.'
‘I see, your methods are based on your ideas and might give you better results than they would give me.’
'Precisely.'
'But what do they teach us at the College?'
'Well for starters they train us in control like you are already practicing, besides that, they teach us spells like the ones I used earlier, spells are cast by controlling the energy within you, the will to make something happen, and making it known to the universe, by speaking, drawing symbols our with certain signs. It was easy for the old mages to discover magic but it has become much harder since people’s idea of what magic can do has become stiffer. The College teaches us old magic.'
I got greedy I think so I went 'Aha, but my mutation, does it allow me to make new magic?'
She was silent for a moment and told me that she thought it already had some unique effect on me. For which she was very thankful. Everyone could create new magic and if I would be able to do it. Well, that remains to be seen, if so she advised against it while we are there. Only the elders are allowed to present their new magic. People like my father keep their own magic a secret. ‘why.’
'New magic is risky and unstable, it can ruin a lot more than it can fix. In the past, it almost never went wrong, but in the last couple of years, mages have ruined a lot because they weren't careful.
Don’t worry though you will hear all about it in history class.’

Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
