《The Realm》Chapter 20 *edited*
Advertisement
As I was fusing with the wisp of my core my conscience was pulled into a white room.
"Wellcome back to the land of the living!"
A man in a white lab coat was sitting in front of a desk, his vision focused on a screen in front of him.
"You may be questioning where we are, but that's not important right now, no, what's important now if a task I'm about to give you."
His tone implied no room for negotiations.
"You see your world is pretty young, so young that it doesn't stand a chance against other worlds..."
"I don't understand..."
With a sigh he focused his attention on me.
"Look, my job is to create worlds, and when I created yours...it drew a lot of attention."
"I don't understand?"
"Your world is attracting unwanted attention, and I'm someone who likes to keep things fair...so I'll give you enough time to grow your world."
"Grow it how?"
"Your world needs a God, so I'm giving you the job."
"I don't want it!" Without a second thought I declined.
"I'll allow you to refuse as long as you give me a solid reason."
"I don't really have a solid reason...I just feel like it's a role I'm not supposed to play..."
"Hmmm, I see, well then I wish your world luck, you'll need it."
Just like that he was gone, and along with him the white room.

As I reformed my flames shrouded the King of Ash, sheltering him from the bloody battle going on outside. With just a bit of though it wasn't only him, but all of the ahi, my flames refining their bodies and giving birth to new ones.

Gone was the ash that made them, their golden skin was now flesh, their burn lines now veins that spread all throughout their bodies, crystal bones that allowed them to keep their bodies stable with their new forms.
They sort of look like that man...
With their new forms came strength like none before, strength that let them get the upper hand. They used their souls to control the worlds energy around them, using fire to destroy the shades that got past the dragons.
Others used the worlds energy to move faster, swing harder, and look farther. But I couldn't just sit by and watch as the races died, I was already doing so while shattered.
Looking at the shapes of Yalin and the dragons I couldn't help but feel a thouch of inspiration, as I flew towards the battle of Divine's I changed my shape. Condensing my flame into a slim shape, my face changing into something similar to the dragons before me.
This wasn't my true from but it felt great, arms and legs formed from my flames spilling into sharp claws, hair made out of flame formed, sharp horns jutted from the top of my head. I took the form of a dragon but not like Yalin, my form was different, more aesthetically pleasing, my golden scales sparkling like stars in the night sky, my eyes a rich gold that seemed to be a doorway to a world of glittering stars.
Focusing on my flames I gathered them towards my throat, following my instincts that came with this form I opened my mouth and roared, golden flames of pure destruction soared towards Yalin.
With a flap of her wings she dodged my flames but that didn't stop me from continuously shooting flames towards her. It pained me to harm what I once considered a friend, even if she completely ignored me, but I wouldn't stand by and let her destroy everything.

She was out numbered, one against four, but she was strong. We faught, tearing holes into our world, Gaia formed giant rocks and threw them towards Yalin, the giant octopus used its many tentacles to keep the shades at bay, the golden dragon fighting head to head with Yalin, claws against claws.
And now me, the first of the Divine, being one came with knowledge, and I knew you could never truly kill a Divine, but you could seal one.
"Hey guys, I got an idea, it's not perfect but it could work."
The other Divine's seemed to hesitate before agreeing to try out my plan.
"We need to surround her, it would be easier if all of the Divines were here but their currently shattered, after we surround her we need to..."
After telling them the plan we split up, I was left to keep her in place while the rest got into place.
A couple minutes later we were all in place, instantly we released our wills onto the laws of the world we controled, our voices fusing together to perform the sealing ritual.
"ʏǟʟɨռ! ռօ ʟօռɢɛʀ ֆɦǟʟʟ ʏօʊ ʀʊռ ʄʀɛɛ, աɨȶɦ ȶɦɛ ʟǟաֆ ǟֆ օʊʀ ɮǟƈӄɨռɢ աɛ ֆɛǟʟ ʏօʊʀ ʄʟǟʍɛ!"
With our chant the laws of our world moved to pressure Yalin, she tried to resist, she held on for a lot longer then we expected, almost draining us completely but in the end her flame was sealed by the laws of our world.
Looking around she had already completed her mission, what was left of the seven races were but a shadow of their past selves. The Koja only had a few remaining and the Divine of the Mer was completely exhausted, forced to slumber in the broken world of the Mer.
All around us the world was completely destroyed, in some places lied giant tears that released destructive energy. Our world was shattered and if the mans words didn't put enough pressure on me then this certainly did.
"How am I ever gonna get our world fixed, and then stronger before whatever the man was talking about comes?!"
With a sigh I resigned to my fate, first returning to my original form, though that eastern dragon form was fun, it took a lot of energy to maintain as it wasn't my true form.
"I got a lot of work ahead of me..."

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
