《Adaptive Learner》Chapter 16 Trethna(3)

"In conclusion for this month, five people have been given entry inside the city," Violet reported, "And another three are under interrogation."
"Thank you, Violet," replied Toshiro as he got up, "I'm going out for a walk if you'd like to come."
"No, I need to get back to the gate," she said, before leaving.
Toshiro began to roam the empty halls of the castle as he headed for the door. He pondered if his life would be crazy as more people would come to the castle or if it would be nice and simple like it's been.
"Toshiro!" Ilya called out to him, as she walked over to him.
"Where are you going?" she asked following Toshiro.
"On a walk," Toshiro replied, "Want to come with me?"
"I'd love to," Ilya smiled.

"Toshiro do you remember where we first met?" Ilya asked as the two walked through the forest.
"Hm? A little bit ahead, if I recall correctly," Toshiro replied looking at the beautiful forest.
It was a large forest, the two were in. Most of the trees were either old oak trees, with the occasional group of birch.
"That's almost correct," Ilya said pointing at a tree, "That's where we met."
"Oh! I remember now," Toshiro laughed, "You tripped on one of the roots of that tree, and knocked yourself out!"
"Shut up, it wasn't that funny!" Ilya punched Toshiro, "If it was so funny why didn't you just leave?"
"Well, it's not like I was going to just leave you there, when it was almost night," Toshiro continued to laugh, "I was obviously going to wait until you came to your sense."
"Well I thank you for that," Ilya said, "Hey! didn't you kill a bear or something while waiting?"

"Oh yeah, that was fun..." Toshiro said.
"Really? Your head was bleeding," Ilya laughed.
"Then it was a good thing I had healing magic," Toshiro sighed, "We should probably head back before it's night."
"Right," Ilya replied, as they turned around.
"This was fun," Ilya said, "Thank you for the offe-"
"Careful!" Toshiro shouted as he grabbed Ilya by the hand and pulled her up before she fell.
"Are you okay?" Toshiro asked.
"Y-yes thank you," Ilya blushed as she pulled her hand back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean t-" Toshiro said.
"N-no it's fine!" Ilya interrupted.
The moon crept, along with awkward silence as the sky began to darken. As Toshiro and Ilya left the forest, they looked at the forest one last time.

"Toshiro! Where have you been?" Sena shouted as she noticed Ilya and Toshiro
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Toshiro replied looking at Sena.
"Trethna destroyed a village, south of here," Sena stated.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Sena yelled as Toshiro ran off.
"To see Violet," he shouted back at Sena.
Pitter-patter was all that could be heard as Toshiro ran to Violet. He took a left as he passed through an alley, before running down the straight pathway towards the gate. As he reached the gate, he, slammed open the door to the watchtower, as he looked at Violet.
"I came here as soon as I heard what happened," Toshiro said, his breathing ragged from the running.
"Violet is currently interrogating one of the escapees," Leo replied, "For now all we can do is wait."
Toshiro sighed, as he sat down and looked around. Violet could be heard speaking from the room over, along with crying coming from somebody. She shortly after walked out as she looked at Toshiro and Leo.

"They say they were attacked a day ago," Violet stated, "And that Trethna is chasing after them."

"Hey, Sylvie," the administrator called out, "Remember that one kid you brought up?"
"Yeah, the kid who wasn't afraid of me," Sylvie replied, as she began to slouch in a chair.
"Seems he's been using that storage portal rune to good use," the administrator said.
"What do you mean?" Sylvie asked looking at the administrator.
"He brought a whole city and castle with him from a dungeon!" the administrator laughed.
"What! He'd have to have as much mana as that one witch from server 201 to do that!" Sylvie laughed, "Funny joke."
"I don't tell jokes." replied the administrator, "He seems to look more like a kindler every month."
"If that very well occurs," the administrator continued, "I predict you'll be the first to know..."
"And the first to kill him," Sylvie replied.

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.

Papercuts to Fell Immortals
Qing Shen is a girl from the counrtyside, forced into a role she never wanted by a Young Master who's infamy is spread throughout the land. As a Cultivator in the path to immortality, Qing Shen has to deal with her own problems as well as the mysteries surrounding her Young Master. Things, however, are not as they seem, and the young girl finds that sometimes the truth is more unbelievable than the lies we often follow. . . . If you want a less hidden-meaning summary: This story is about the struggles of one girl as she tries to become an Immortal. There won't be any meaningful romance, but there will be a plot that spans most of the story, and violence. Oh the violence! I'm not going to say that my ideas are 100% original (because hoo boy are there a lot of Wuxia), but hopefully I can write something entertaining. Guaranteed things: 1. Cliche events with a twist (I mean, it's literally in the description) 2. Important Characters will have backstories and motivations that will hopefully make them not one-dimensional (honestly, that's just normal stuff...) 3. Untrustworthy characters (everyone in the story lies, even me, so don't trust everything you read... but at the same time, trust everything you read) 4. Goodish grammar (not gonna say mine's the best, but it's readable in most cases) 5. Plot! (Everywhere!) 6. worldbuilding? (Should be there somewhere, but I probably won't do blatant info dumps... probably) 7. Character development? (Its there... at some point...) 8. The story gets dark at some points (if you don't like characters dying, then this might not be your cup of tea) 9. A strong main character? (She'll be strong, yes. However, her enemies are also strong. If everyone is strong, then is she no longer strong? My brain hurts) 10. Wow, this list is going on for awhile... uh, Believable and reasonable Action? (I mean, I'm writing for mainly my fun, so if I want a fight scene, then I might craft a scenario to explain it... or I might suddenly throw in a Dragon and call it a day) This story also goes by the same name over on Webnovel.com, but I'm going to be updating it here because, well I want to. They are both by me, and created by me. If there's anything that seems like a copy of another work, then that's just the genre being saturated by everything under the sun.
