《Gabriel "The Bastard Son"》An Esper's Demise
Advertisement
The nameless guy and Eric were now standing face to face at a distance of about 50 meters from each other, Eric being shocked from the impact before wasn't sure if he should make the first move...
???-You toyed with him.
Eric-Huh?
He vanished from Eric's eyes for a split second and hit Eric in the stomach..
Eric-ARGH!(When!? How!?)
???-You hurt him.
He vanished once again, this time taking Eric's hand clean of from the point of his elbow...
Eric-WHAT!?(I have to stop the bleeding, concentrate...)
???-You enjoyed the advantage of power over him.
Eric-(I can't react, what is up with his speed?)
???-How does it feel? Standing in front of your demise with no means of escape?
Eric-You think you have won!? You haven't seen anything yet!
Eric screamed as he focused his energy on his arm regrowing it with psychic energy...
Eric-I can cure any damage that you can deal to me, Gabriel. You have no chance to win despite the power up you got!
???-When the weak boast too much it's disgusting.
Eric-Get ready Gabriel!
Eric raised massive boulders from the ground using psychokinesis, tossed them on Gabriel, the rocks came from all sides completely covering his body. Eric pushed even harder trying to crush his body.
The rocks formed a ball around him and came closer and closer together, at that point rain begun to fall, Eric felt that his attack was enough to at least hold him in place so he could gather psychic
energy from his surroundings...
Eric-(This should hold him).
???-Pitiful...
The rocks scattered everywhere as he extended the powerful aura that surrounded him, some of the rocks went right where Eric was standing forcing him to dodge away, in that instant, while Eric's
focus was towards dodging, the nameless figure was standing behind him...

Eric-(Crap).
He punched Eric sending him flying right into one of the mountains creating a hole at the point of impact, for a couple of seconds it seemed as if Eric was dead until he came out, levitating slowly
towards his enemy, with a menacing look on his face, a look full of anger...
Eric-You think you have won? You think everything I worked for can be so easily destroyed? I won't hold back anymore Gabriel.
???-Come, esper.
Eric channeled all of his power, he raised his hands, creating an earthquake as he used his psychokinesis to lift an entire mountain straight up from the ground, the giant mountain that he was just
slammed into was now levitating behind him, with one move from his hand he sent the mountain flying towards the "Nameless"...
Eric-How about this Gabriel? This is true psychokinesis!
Gabriel-(Dodge out of the way!)
???-Child's play.
Eric-What?
???-Apocalypse Smite!
He raised one hand and an enormous beam of energy shot out, smashing the flying mountain into pieces, rocks flying everywhere as the mountain shattered into millions of smaller pieces, crushing
every tree that in a wide radius. Eric was now furious, all of his attacks were dealt with little effort, being at this state, he abandoned defense and threw his body on the table. He rushed towards
the "Nameless" and punched him with tremendous power, knocking him on the ground with enough force to make a crater...
Eric-No more tricks, Gabriel.
Gabriel-(He got serious).
???-(The dance of death).
The "Nameless" flew back up, he went straight for Eric, this time though Eric had used his barrier to block his opponent's attack, without any results though, the barrier crushed like glass and he
took a major hit to his left arm as he tried to block...
Eric-(What power).

Eric focused all of his energy to enhance his physical strength and toughness, he lushed at the "Nameless" once again and unleashed a barrage of extremely fast and powerful punches, the "Nameless"
countered each punch and a full-on fist fight begun among the two superpower individuals. The ground was shaking with every blow that they exchanged, the force of their hits traveled through the air
for countless miles, Eric was now taking too much damage to continue and he teleported further away...
Eric-(This is bad, even with all of my power focused on physical ability I still can't win against him)
Eric-(At least I have some time now to recuperate...)
???-You cannot outrun death!
Eric-WHAT!?(He caught up with me after I teleported?)
The "Nameless" hit him one more time and sent him up high, Eric teleported, again and again, every time his opponent caught up with him simply with his speed. Eric continued to teleport around in
order to catch a breath but the "Nameless" didn't give up and every time Eric teleported he was already there.
???-Stop this nonsense esper.
Eric-What do you mean?
???-You are just wasting both my time and yours. Now, let's end this.
The "Nameless" focused his energy on his right hand, a white sphere appeared as he channeled holy energy, just the gathering of that energy was enough to make Eric afraid, he lost his thinking and instead
of teleporting away to avoid the blast he started flying quickly...
???-There is no place to run. There is no place to hide. I see everything. I destroy. Everything.
Eric was flying as fast as he could away from his opponent, fear consumed his mind as he felt the weight of the upcoming blast, now a couple of kilometers away he couldn't resist but to look behind
him, then he saw it, he saw death, catching up with him...
???-HOLY NOVA!
An expanding blast engulfing everything and reducing it to ashes was now quickly making its way towards Eric, the giant attack destroyed everything in its path, that's when Eric realized what his
opponent meant...
Eric-(So that's the power you feared, Gabriel?)
After the blast there was nothing left behind, the whole valley, the mountains, the trees, everything was turned to ashes, just a huge crater remained, the rain stopped leaving behind a rainbow that
stood above the aftermath of a fearsome duel...
Gabriel-(Is it over? Is he dead?)
???-(No, his vessel wouldn't let him die so easily, let's look for him).
In the distance, a strange light made its appearance, the nameless person went to check it out, as he estimated, Eric's body was reforming out of pure psychic energy...
???-(I will finish this now).
Gabriel-(No!)
???-(With everything he did he deserves to die.)
Gabriel-(He didn't kill anyone, he doesn't deserve to die, let me talk to him.)
???-(Let's have it your way, for now, I'll make my exit.)
Gabriel-(What's going to happen now? Are you staying in my head?)
???-(No, this body is still fragile, I can't push it out of its limits for too much.)
Gabriel-(What do you mean?)
???-(You will see, shortly.)
Gabriel regained control over his body, his transformation dispersed as did the power from before, he returned to his normal state, Eric's body was on the ground in front of him, he patiently waited
for Eric to wake up...

Raccoon's Treasure
People waking up is a part of the usual normal life. An uncountable number of people waking up with fuzzy memories and selective amnesia, only to be greeted with a status screen congratulating them for being a participant of a game? The new normal. Uncertainty follows the realization as the world around them, while looking the same, melts together with memories of what was once called fantasy. New surroundings and blurred borders await as we follow a young man along his path of survival and growth. In this new world power is quantified and upgradeable, traits get objectified and give out boons, while feats, some bigger, some smaller get rewarded.

I do not have a script only a premise and general outline I will follow along as I write. As this is my first try at writing I'd be overjoyed to get any kind of feedback. Crossposted on QQ

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.
