《Revenge of Mages Book 1: The Staff of Runetizo》Chapter 27: The Book
Advertisement
I carefully pried off the glass covering the book, then gently took the diary into my hands. I skimmed through the book, “Hey, I don’t think this is a diary! There are lots of battle techniques in here though! They are different from our’s though. One shows you how to defeat a powerful demon! The problem is that this magic is different. The instructions say to have some Essence of Light ready. What is that? It also requires 2 people who both have power over fire. No one in the magic realm has power over fire. I do not either! This page has interesting wordings. Wait, Tyronius wrote that these are prophecies:
A Dragon Rider with all-cause,
Will slay the Maggi with no pause.
A fighter till his dying breath,
He shall save the world from death.
I’m pretty sure this is about me. I guess I’ll save the world! No pressure! I guess...
7 heroes he will unite,
History is what they’ll rewrite.
Many dangers they shall face,
All to save the magical race.
Apparently, this is a prophecy about my descendant!
The mad mage shall have a ring,
To summon the Demon King,
Use the sword with no regret
The hero is playing a dangerous bet,
Destroy the crown and he shall fall,
Use his head to break the wall.
I guess I’ll have to destroy the king’s crown to defeat him! And then I’ll have to lop off a random person’s head to break a wall… maybe I ram the head against the wall to break it?'' I mused, “Wait, the last page reads: I have visited the goddess of light and god of darkness, and they have granted me immortality. I have gone to ask why; why so much destruction and death? They have created a natural formation named Dásos tis Dýnamis for me to meditate. If it is time for me to reawaken to the world, come here and alert me.

“I think we need to go to Dásos tis Dýnamis, but where is that?” I asked.
I am currently searching the ancient memory banks of the dragons, and it appears to me that Dásos tis Dýnamis is next to Dragon’s Paradise, which is known to the humans as Clearwater Town.
“Cool, let’s go there!” Khel enthusiastically suggested, and I pulled out a map that would lead us to Clearwater Town.
“Wait, we need to get out of this cave first,” I remarked. “The monsters are still outside, remember?”
“Right…” Khel realized how bad the situation was.
As we walked over, I rested my elbow on the pedestal.
“Hmmm… how could we kill them all?” I wondered aloud. Suddenly the wall toppled over, smashing all of the monsters that were patiently waiting at the other side of the ravine.
“Well, that works!” I declared.
As we took off on Iris, we silently prayed that Thalássios Drákos would not notice us, but he did. We panicked and Iris flew away as fast as she could, but we could not outrun the Thalássios Drákos. The Thalássios Drákos roared, “You evil humans, how dare you survive Zwolennicy Island! I will teleport you to an anti-magic police station, and they will kill you!” He grabbed all of us and teleported us away.
We teleported into the midst of police officers, and then the Thalássios Drákos, in a disembodied voice, boomed, “These puny humans are mages!”
The police officers dropped their donuts in surprise, then looked at us. They grabbed their handcuffs and ran straight at us. I merely sent a Lightning Discharge to electrocute them.
The moment they were stunned, we ran away. Then I discovered that it was the Clearwater Town police station. “Khel, we are in the perfect place, we are in Clearwater Town, near Dásos tis Dýnamis. Perfect timing!”

“But Mensal, look, do you see a forest anywhere?” Khel mentioned.
“Nope!” I responded.
I searched the entire perimeter of the town, but there was no forest to be seen. Argh, I know there’s a forest here!!!
Suddenly, a forest popped up in front of me. “Khel! Over here! I found the forest! Just think, ‘I know there’s a forest here!’”
After Khel confirmed he was seeing it too, we both walked in, but for some reason, Khel bounced off an invisible wall.
“I guess I have to go in by myself.” I sighed.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

BlackCrown
Three hundred years ago multiple meteors broke into earth's atmosphere and landed in various places. The meteors change the world. By releasing strange substances into the earth, air, and water the planet started to change. It was not until ten years later that the first batch of superhumans was born. They had abilities that could not be explained. Superspeed. Superstrength. Magic. The superhumans showed the world that all of it was possible. They called the abilities EXO and the people who wielded such an ability, EXO users. They quickly found out that not every EXO was the same. One EXO user had one EXO ability and what that ability was could be categorized into one of three types. Offensive, Defensive or Support. The government was the first to act after five years. Every EXO user must be subjected to whole new laws and they must get their abilities under control. Specialized schools were built all across the world that were made to train them. Under the pretense of saying it was to develop their abilities, the government was actually building an army. Humans were not the only ones to change…

Dirge
All things are. We once dreamed of a sky filled with possibilities. Of neverending knowledge. But those were conceited times, filled with quibbling. Now we look up and fear the vastness. We fear that there’s no edge to infinity. Humanity pulled itself together. Not like you’d expect, not like you’d approve of, but the results are spectacular. We call ourselves Utopians now, to make it simple for our kin in the cosmos. We’ve moved out into the Omniverse, to unlimited resources, and to dominance over the weak. Not for gain, but to the ends of permanence and peace. The cessation of their suffering. At the apex, looking down on those confined, those unenlightened, we felt safe. So few stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Fewer yet of them are so united as we. Porter, a godkiller for the Eidolons, is out of the job. Christopher, a Magus in the Guild, has him a new one, but with motives questionable. Kendall, a failing student at the Monastery, has to deal with secrets he never wanted. Anna, her entire life just fell apart, leaving her bereft. And Doran, he awakens. Each of these people, connected as members of the Omniversal Utopian Commonwealth, are helpless to the dark truth closing in. Not even the artificial intelligence, Aku, keeper of all Utopian power, can stop the Ouroboros. It’s not a new dawn. The light is dying. Hold your breath and go gently.
