Chapter 10
Jack too wanted to fall asleep but unfortunately for him nightmares plagued his mind. The shrouded figure of his master always ever distant from him. Jack chased after him but never seemed to gain any ground.. His legs moved slowly as if he was trudging through quicksand… the sand encompassed the area around him… a terrifying sensation arised within Jack and before he realized it the sand swallowed him up… "Ah!" Jack is jolted awake while a cold sweat can be felt running down his back.
Fang sits across from the campfire... the fire burns low... he glances over at Jack.. "Couldn't sleep Jack ah? Don't worry, that makes two of us" Fang turns back towards the fire.
The dark forest surrounds them as a small bonfire burns. A gloomy look overshadows Jacks face.. "Well since we both can't sleep, you may as well come sit beside the fire here and refocus your mind." Fang gestures towards the little campfire.. as he throws in some more kindling.. unfortunately the branches are damp… the fire starts to die down… "Whooshh, the fire blazes back into life. Fang notices Jack's outstretched arm before his arm lowers, his hand once more placed beneath his robe. "Amazing.." Fang mutters to himself. A burning desire can be seen within Fang's eyes.
"Teach me Jack!"… Jack slowly walks over near the fire and takes a seat. He glances over at Fang… "Not possible Fang, putting aside your age, magic takes a great toll not only on the body but also the mind. While you may be a genius in swordsmanship, magic has far heavier restrictions. Only geniuses amongst geniuses can even touch the borders of magi-c.. Fang raises his arm seemingly mimicking Jack and "Whoosh" the campfire burns even brighter.
Jack looks on wordlessly.. "as I was saying you need to study for countless years with magicians teaching you step by step…" Jack pauses for a moment… "Hey Wait.. you!..." Fang grins from ear to ear. Jack looks at Fang in disbelief.. before the look in Jack's eyes sharpens "Should I eliminate Fang..? Such a monster… we cannot have any variables that may threaten Master.." Jack ponders to himself.

Fang seemingly oblivious to this continues to make the flames burn brighter and brighter.. Before either of them realize it, the trees around them catch fire. "Dude… stop Fang.. terrific.. look at the mess you have made…" Jack quickly gets up and as he is about to quell the fire he realizes that the fire has expanded too fast too quickly… "We will not be able to put out this fire.." Jack mutters to himself… "Running away seems to be the only option…" Jack chooses the only direction left where the fire has only just started burning and charges through… Fang hesitates before sheepishly following behind Jack… they both disappear into the night.
In the coming weeks news got out about a disastrous forest fire… apparently escalating to a Rank B disaster level where many high level magicians were sent out to resolve it. As for how the fire started… there were no leads…
To be Continued.

Earth Exodus
Elliot isn't the first one taken, he was the last, or one of them at least. Careless divines, gods, or higher powers had been snatching humans through numerous means over the years. Those that returned brought minor tokens of their previous power if anything at all. Over time unrestrained magic became commonplace on earth. Which must have brought attention to us. The earth is ravaged by increasing levels of rogue magics, divines, and a war over resources and experience. Eventually resulting in a mass exodus of the remaining powerless humans by a coalition of gods.Now translocated to Vauthia where everyone has been given a path to power. They're met with an unfortunate reality. They've only been rescued from one dying world to be tasked with saving the new one. While at the same time they're apparently supposed to compete with one another. Meanwhile Elliot wasn't just given a path to power. He was given a choice. The opportunity for true power is offered. When as he reaches for it the power isn't all it's cracked up to be.Systemless in a world where everyone else has access to one Elliot must grapple with a multitude of problems from without and within. The 'gods' might actually be incompetent, uncaring, downright malicious, or all three. His power is constantly three steps behind those who chose the quick path to power. There's also the antisocial tendencies he's brought with him from earth. Can he trust the 'god' who seems to be taking him under their wing? Will he be able to catch up to his fellow earthlings who're ever increasing in power? Is it possible he may just break out of his shell along the way?*** What to expect ***The initial start will be quite slow, building the setting, history, and individuals involved. There is a small bit of progression in these early chapters for the MC, but more along the lines of figuring out how their systemless power works. though once the story gains traction it won't stop.*** Don't tell Elliot, but ***Elliot hates to admit it but he's very clearly antisocial. Not to mention troubles with thinking that stem from several un-diagnosed disorders he'd rather believe don't exist.*** Image Copyright *** //In this satellite image released by Copernicus Sentinel imagery, 2020 twitter page dated Dec. 31, 2019, shows wildfires burning across Australia.
