Kuro: Woah...why is it so dark in here?
Kuro said to himself as he finally made it within the Castelila City Gym...but he can't see anything. A small flame would light in front of his face, as he yelled and jumped back -- only to run into nothing and fall on the floor. He heard someone laughing. Claude: Haha...didn't mean to startle ya' man. Welcome to the Castelila City Gym. I'm your host -- Claude...You uh, you good man? Kuro: Yeah..I'm good, I just got scared a minute ago... Claude: Haha, fear won't get you very far. There's a Lil' something special about this gym I gotta let you know about. First of all, you'll need this. Claude said as he reached behind his back with his free handle, revealing to Kuro the second lit candle he had behind him. Kuro: H-How did you- Claude: Take this kid. Claude handed Kuro the candle, Kuro takes it. Claude: You'll need that if you wanna see. This Gym is sprawling with bug and grass type mons. And you gotta walk across these webs to get up and down and all around this gym...haha. This gym has several art pieces, big ones too. You use the candle to burn them down, and once you do...you either get attacked by some wild pokemon, or you find yourself in the chamber of creation...is what Burgh calls his little shed that he draws and fights in. This makin' sense to you? Kuro: Yeah, I understand. Claude: All right then Champ in the makin', go ahead..haha... Claude laughed..fading away into the darkness until he completely disappeared. Kuro gripped his fist....taking in a deep breath as he wandered throughout the gym. Spacious, yet empty it felt. His little light helped out but he was still extremely lost. He and his Oshawott kept walking and walking. Eventually, he stopped at the sight of something he hadn't seen before. He took a step back and held his candle in the air as his eyes could behold the enormous and breathtaking painting in front of him. He was in awe...did Burgh really make this himself!? He didn't even want to set it on fire! Kuro: Woah...This is amazing! I can't Burgh really made.....hey wait who's there?? He said as he felt something crawling on his back, he jumped to the side as he could STILL Feel something on him, he screamed as he ran around in a circle until whatever was on him went flying off into the darkness that surrounded him. He panted, grabbing his Oshawott as he was ready to take on whatever wanted to battle. The thing that crawled all over Kuro's back showed itself..it was a small Sweaddle with the most sinister grin on its face, as it chuckled. Kuro: Guess I'll have to take you on... Oshawott held its scalchop, and just as he held it in the air about to turn into into a blade-- it was gone from his hand! He looked all around to see a Spinarak holding a Scalchop in its mouth. Then the Pokemon jumped out at Kuro. Kuro fell over, as the candle fell and it set fire to the painting, and the Pokeball rolled towards the flame. Kuro screamed yet again. The painting set ablaze and from behind the painting sprawled a bunch of Spinaraks, Beedrills, and Venomoths came out and attacked him. Kuro: Oshawott, use water gun! Oshawott hopped up and he starting blasting the Spinaraks, and Beedrills. He fired one at the Spinaraks, which caused all six of them to jump into the air -- He fired another beam at the Beedrills, but both of them avoided. Then he hit all three Venomoths with its final beam! But As Oshawott finished firing its beams...he started to get the hiccups. Oshawott: O-Osh....O!..O... Kuro: Hey...are you alright?? Oshawott would be bombarded by Pin missles from the Beedrills, as when it was sent flying -- A stone would come flying out of his mouth! Oshawott would find itself landing in Kuro's arms. Kuro then ran away, as the Pokemon continued to follow him. He would find himself hiding behind this little cocoon. Kuro sighed, as he held Oshawott in his arms. Oshawott hopped on Kuro's head. Kuro would then walk around in the darkness, as he heard the sounds of swarming pokemon looking all over for him. Kuro heard more sounds too...sounds of what sounds like laughter. He followed this sound, walking as fast as he could until he reached this even bigger painting than before -- As the sounds of laughter he heard were as clear as day! On top of that laughter, he heard a muffled sound..like someone had a wrap-around their mouth. Kuro then took in a deep breath, busting through the huge painting as a bright burst of life hit him directly...like a vampire seeing the light of the sun. The entire new cavus he was in was multicolored...everything ranging from red, purple, blue, pink...etc. And the muffled sound he heard....it was no other than Shiro! Shiro was tied up and hanging down the ceiling wrapped up in this web-like material that looks to be of the makings of a Spinarak. In the center of all this madness was burgh, as he sat there gazing down at Kuro. Burgh: Excellent work back there Kuro, not only did you and your friend up there help clear Team Plasma out of the city..but you also stopped them somewhere else! You're a real hero kid. Shiro's eyes lit up as she saw Kuro. She tried swinging over to him but she didn't move at all, she was stuck. Kuro: Burgh....what did you do to Shiro? Burgh: That wasn't me...it was my Ariados. Kuro: Aria...dos? Burgh: Mhhmmm~. Your friend told me that you would be here soon, soo...the deal was that if she loses, she has to be wrapped up in the web until you beat me, and if she wins...she gets her badge. Simple as that. Kuro: Aww Shiro, why did you agree to that?? Burgh: Worry not young hero! If you beat me, you get to rescue her! Kuro: And if I lose...? Burgh paused after hearing the boy's question..laughing a little as he slowly rose to his feet...and the sound of crawling echoed throughout the entire chamber of creation -- this huge spider-like Pokemon (Known as Ariados), came slamming to the ground in front of Burgh. As it let out a cry and gave Kuro a chill. Burgh: Well, you'll end up like your friend over there...Do we have an agreement? Kuro: ...Yes, I accept!

Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for. A Man who's seen everything gets abducted by aliens and is converted into an AI that sits at the helm of a fleet of alien ships and behind the computer systems for most their planets. This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier. His life's been far too interesting(read: Scary, Inconvenient and Painful) in his opinion and he could do with a bit of normalcy.

8 217Anathema
The Prince used to dance — until he discovered the strings moving his legs. The Rebel used to hope — until reality slammed a door in her face. The Spy used to live for nothing but money — until he found himself a family. And the Slave craved freedom more than air — until a small hand reached to her for help. Eskela has known conflict for centuries. War had been engrained into the very soil of every one of the eight kingdoms, and blood has been smeared over history to paint a lie. When young prince Aldric, heir to the Aguki throne, learns his position is nothing but a farce, his world crumbles down around him. As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means. Conflict does not reside in Cinthra alone, though. Erden, newly hired spymaster for the crown prince of Promnir, is tasked with keeping an eye on the kingdom’s council. The job that was supposed to just be about money quickly spirals into a fierce loyalty, one that leads him to the front lines in order to desperately prevent another war from beginning. Azala, a slave bought by the royal family of Azmosir, finds her loyalty is not nearly as solidified as that of Erden’s. But while the prince she serves plots to steal that which does not belong to him and the queen she respects holds on to a lingering desire for revenge, Azala realizes that she must choose whom to save: herself or Azmosir's defenseless and young princess.
