《ADEPTAVERSE》17 - Empire of Darkness Arc: The Land of The Marked People
Advertisement
Three hours later and the group arrived on the coast of Wrathak. Kry had left his yacht in a sea cave nearby and they used a dinghy which was on the side of the yacht to get to a beach near the sea cave.
Cough Cough! Hugo briefly coughed as the group walked up the beach.
"Why is the sand gray? Ain't it meant to be like, yellow?" Altara asked as the group walked up the beach. Konstantine looked ahead from behind the group at a large cliff that was towering over the beach. "No idea, we just need to figure out how to get over that cliff."
Kry crouched down on one knee and took a sample of the gray sand in a small plastic tube and pocketed it before clearing his throat, standing up straight. "Don't worry about that. Just keep your eyes open."
Hugo meanwhile was not looking at the cliff ahead but glancing over his shoulder at the sea they came from. Kry looked back at Hugo. "What is wrong Hugo?"
"Nothing. I just hope we weren't followed here." Hugo looked down in front of him as he started to walk again alongside Kry. Kry chuckled, "Don't worry about it. We would have heard the boat." Hugo looked at Kry as they walked. "But what if they weren't following by boat?"
Kry shook his head and patted Hugo's back. "Don't worry my friend! You are simply overthinking."
The group soon made it to the cliff, it stood at around forty meters high, being made out of pure rock. Kry looked at everyone.
"Everyone, please stay close." Kry simply ordered. Hugo casually walked up to Kry, placing his hands in his pockets. Konstantine and Altara slowly did the same. "Uhm, why?" Altara asked as he stood next to Kry, but before his question could be answered Kry extended both arms outwards.

"CEASE GRAVITUS!"
Kry exclaimed as the sand on the ground around the group started to levitate upwards, Altara and Konstantine saw the sand move upwards and their faces became one of pure surprise. Soon enough their bodies started to float upwards whilst still standing upright. Altara watched the ground below them move away and gulped. "U-Uhm?!"
"Alt, don't worry. Kry is using a technique of magik to lift us upwards. Just stay silent." Hugo said calmly, his hands in his pockets. Altara noticed Hugo's calm attitude and slowly started to calm down. "G-Got it, my bad."
They soon landed on top of the cliff, now standing on some dark green grass. Kry put his hands back to his side as the gray sand that was lifted landed around them, Konstantine looked down the cliff briefly before looking at Kry. "Quite impressive." She mumbled.
Altara looked at Kry. "Did you just...switch gravity?"
Kry looked over at Altara, brushing some sand off his shoulder. "Yes, Gravity Manipulation. Although I rarely ever use it because I never really need too." He gave Altara a thumbs up.
Hugo looked ahead of the group at a moody grass plain, only some crows were seen flying around here and there with a few dead trees. Gray skies loomed over the land. Kry walked next to Hugo and looked at the dead land in front of them.
"Eastern Wrathak...
...It's horrible."
Kry said as a crow landed on one of the dead trees in the near distance. Hugo nodded. "Yeah..I'm getting cold even with my coat on. Are you cold? You don't even have a jumper on or anything, just a shirt."
"A little, yes." He looked over at Altara and Konstantine who were looking out into the distance as well, adjusting his glasses. "Okay guys we'll walk for a bit and make camp someplace secluded." He started to walk. "Making camp here will only cause us to freeze to death." He exhaled. Hugo followed and so did the other two.

...Meanwhile
Step..Step...Step....
"Hmm..."
A dark tall figure was watching the group walk across the black plain from atop a dead tree with a pair of binoculars.
"Hm."
They lowered the binoculars slightly.
"I will claim this prize. And be at peace once and for all." They said calmly with their muffled voice.
They pocketed the binoculars and dropped from the tree.

To Know the Name We Lost (LitRPG/Fantasy)

For a group of mortals, who died, being offered all of these at the low - basically free - price of their Name is like a dream come true. Until they figure out that they were right... if the dream was a nightmare. If they die they respawn, but do they really have to die every day? That is unreasonable! But when it turns out that their name was related to their entire mortal existence and their memories are fading, they begin to wonder if the only true death they will ever experience is ceasing to exist as the humans they once were. Unable to die and unable to remember what made them human, is this what remains of their afterlife? Ae, the protagonist, is not ready to give up just yet; if he could just become more powerful then surely he would find the solution! However, that is where the End of All Things patiently waits for someone foolish enough to reach out to it.

A race of demi-humans takes over the priceless first world for years. The humans grow tired of living in the lower worlds and challenge the demi-humans to war. Armad is an innocent bystander from the third world whose village is engulfed by the war. He doesn't care about ambitious humans or greedy demi-humans. All he wants is to save his dying mother. Will he be left alone to cater to his mother, or will the universe be cruel enough to stand against him? *** Rpg system has no stats or leveling up (not in the traditional way), but there are numbers. MC is strong from the word go and he has a specific goal. He's also learned many skills before the beginning of the novel, so don't expect a murderhobo for levels. That being said, the mc will grow stronger and will have become so strong (not overpowered) by the end of the first book. There are many races besides humans but they are not the main focus of the story, so they will only appear when the plot involves them. This novel is dedicated to the late William Wilberforce. *** I made the cover picture from picart. Original images don't belong to me. If you are the owner and you want it removed just pm me.
