《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 16 (Part 4)

After pausing their ascent above Benjamin’s roof, the two see that the strange creatures were everywhere they looked, causing mayhem and mischief in their waking hour.
“Oh man, this is horrible!” Benjamin exclaimed, watching the chaos unfold.
“Nicholas, where are you right now?” Isabelle asked through the laptop. “We can pick you up!”
“Well, I’m kind of on a roof,” Nicholas replied.
“You too?”
“Yeah, but I’ll try to manage until you guys get here.”
“You shouldn’t be too far, though; just hang in there!”
Isabelle moved the platform to fly as Benjamin held on for dear life. In no time, they found Nicholas fending off some creatures which climbed up to his house.
Just as Isabelle waved and shouted for Nicholas’ attention, the platform slowly disappeared. Having nothing to stand on, Benjamin and Isabelle fell, Nicholas grabbed Isabelle and pulled her up onto the roof with him, but Benjamin wasn’t as lucky and fell straight onto the ground.
He rubbed his head, brushed off his clothes, and saw that the creatures were gaining around towards him. Benjamin tried to brace himself, but when he shut his eyes and opened them again, the beings soon became ash.
Benjamin saw a guy fighting the monsters back with a sword. Even from a distance, Benjamin recognized him almost instantly. Isabelle and Nicholas noticed him, too, and watched as he sliced the creatures up with his sword and zapped them to ash with magic.
“Who’s that guy?” Isabelle whispered.
“I don’t know, but he's not bad,” Nicholas whispered back.
“Man, these things just keep coming,” Sebastian said to himself. “I hope I can handle them all.”
“Hey, you there!” Benjamin called out as he walked over to him.
“Benjamin?” Sebastian paused in his fighting.

“Sebastian?” Benjamin couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
“What are you doing here?” They asked in unison as they pointed at one another. “You’re asking me?”
“Guys pay attention; they’re still in the area!” Isabelle called out to them.
Nicholas looked over at his friend’s computer and saw it had grown a sickly purple aura around it. The atmosphere had spread out and formed into a beam of light, zooming past him and instead, hitting Benjamin and Sebastian, making them disappear without a trace.
Isabelle and Nicholas both gasped in shock.
“What the— What happened?!” Isabelle asked, frantic.
“I don’t know; I’m so confused!” Nicholas exclaimed.
“What’s going on? Where are they now!?"

Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.
