Chapter 11
The duel
“Hitora, you simply are a fool.”
“eh?”
“You challenged the strongest knight in the entire clan, Kuriollus, if there is one extreme talent, it is him, although he hasn’t reached his potential he surpasses even me and Elizabeth who are from a direct bloodline.”
The…strongest…knight…
Okay I should quit. But I’ve come too far.
I hold the sword in my hand, it’s blade elegant and light. Lehtrious, by itself it relatively powerful.
“Hello master, are we engaging in combat! Shall I walk through my various combat modes and abilities, after all I am a legendary sword!”
“No thanks, just show me in battle.”
“Yes!”
I pull the legendary sword out of its sheath on my back.
“Engaging defense mode!”
A suit of armor surrounds my body. Huh?
I hear the gasp and’s looks of surprise from my classmates, “What, type of sword he is using?”
Prepare the feel wrath of Lehtrious, it’s blade shining in all it’s glory.
“Prepare to die fool!” I say as I charge with my first strike.
I swung my sword towards Kuriollus, it was a fast blur of motion, as I struck it down upon him.
But he was too fast.
He moves to the left of the attack as if it was nothing.
My first magic powered strike is gone.
I only have one chance to beat this guy, even though I have a legendary weapon and very good amour. My experience in combat is little, and this guy is an extreme talent.
There is a smirk on his face that says it all, he’s won.
He was previously unarmed, but now in his hands was nothing but a medium grade sword, looking from its appearance.
Before I knew it his blade was piercing through the left side that was open.

Or so I thought so.
Somehow, I landed behind him, and Lehtrious was placed in his torso.
“I won…”
He landed of my blade and fell to the floor.
“I really won?”
And then his body was flung across the room from the elixir I made.
There I was standing looking at a man I had killed in battle, an extreme talent!
“Haha…”
A devil some laugh filled the room.
His body disjointed, and a gory mess rose to it’s feet. It was back to it’s previous stage, it’s body regenerated.
His left eyes was emitting a strange redness.
Huh?
“I didn’t think I’d pull my trump card on a mere mouse like you, it seems you are a worthy opponent, but you simply don’t deserve the ability to do magic, once I defeat you, I’ll leave you with a greater punishment than death!”
He runs at me with immense speed, my body weak and frail from the powerful strikes I used, could do nothing but wait in agony.
He punches in the stomach so fast and hard that my body is blown to the other side of the hall, he teleports right next to me.
“Your punishment is… you will never be able to use magic ever again!”

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)

He knew the path ahead will be hard, but he is determined to change the world for the better.

The story explores the sides that were not usually portrayed in dystopian, like the dictator, a common soldier, or even normal citizen caught on crossfire. Invest yourself in a mix of political intrigue, complex characters, even more complex relationships, with drama born from conflict and dispute, and just good old death. Enjoy.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
