Prologue – Wilderness
Deep in the forest know as ' Lost forest ' because many people get lost, there lives a rare species of wolves known as ' Shadow wolves ' they are fast, can hide thier aura and can control dark mana. Dark mana is tha same as normal mana except its cold and black colored instead of the normal white colour and warm feeling mana has. Yes there is magic in this world and its basically as common as electricity in yours. Mana powers everything from your car to your mobile phone. Mana is everywhere.
Now back to the forest …
“honey do you think we've gone deep enough ?” a female voice said.
“yea i think this is where they said the wolves would be and that we should stay away from here “
a hoarse male voice replied.
“ok, just dump it and get out of here, this place gives me the creeps” the woman said
*bang * a bundle of cloth fell with a muflfed sound on the ground and the male and female left the forest thourgh the route they came.
A little further from where the people dumped thier bundle a group of wolves was hunting for dinner, and came in the direction of the bundle of cloth.
*sniff sniff * one of the wolves sniffed the bundle and looked at the others, then picked it carefully in his beak and signaled the others to keep hunting while 'she ' returned to thier cave.
In the cave the female wolf carfully rolled the bundle of cloth to reveal a sleeping baby of at most a few weeks old. The wolf licked its face and the baby slowly opend his eyes they were very dark blue and it looked as if the child was about to die but the wolf curled around the baby and warmed it with its body heat like a mother would to thier child and waited for the other wolves to return with food.
Hours passed and the 'mother wolf' heard something closing in and twisted her ears to the sound.
The other wolves had returned and brought a handful of rabbits and other small animals. When they saw the female standing above a human child they growled at it but still gave the food the female needed. The female took a bite off the rabbit and placed it before the baby who was sleeping and gave it a little push with its nose to wake it. The child woke and looked at the wolves, strangely it did not even cry and grabbed the mother wolfs head and started nibbling on her ears. The wolf shook her head and pushed the child to the meat. The chiled looked at it and then at the wolf as if asking what it was. The female wolf then bit of a piece of meat for herself and ate it to show that it was food. As if the baby understood it it picked up the meat with its mouth and ate it. after it ate the meat it started to cry loudly. The female wolf slowly walked to it and curled around its body to comfort the baby.

The other wolves seeing this growled at the baby and some even tried to bite it but the female wolf shielded the baby and growled back as if saying ' ill take care of it ' or 'i want this child' or something. The other wolves could only give up as she was the alfa of the pack.
After a few days the baby started acting like a wolf too and its eyes had turned in the same color as the wolves, a pure white even the pupil was white, not the hazy white like that of those who are born blind but a clear as snow white.
After months of living with the wolves the child learned how the wolves controlled and cultivated thier mana and he became much stronger and faster than a normal huan child of a few months old would be.
After a year the boy leane how to comunicate with the wolves through telepathy and he spoke with them in thier launguage wich was actually similar to human launguage. Altough the wolves could not really speak like humans unless they used telepathy, the child could and the 'mother' wolf tought him everything she knew and so the child leanred to speak in human and wolf language.
Nearly 5 years have passed and the child is now going through his rite of passage or so they call it, to be accepted in the pack by all other wolves. To be accepted he has to hunt three black horned deer, wich are carnivorous deer with two antlers like any other deer but in addition to that they have a sharp 50 cm horn on the center of thier heads and sharp dagger like teeth.
The child roamed the forest looking for his pray when he hears rustling sounds a bit ahead of him so he activated his stealth skill that all young wolves learn and closed in on the noise. What he found was a flock of 6 black horned deer, 4 adullt males and 2 young ones. In his stealth mode the child walked furthest away from the deerlings and peed on a tree and made some loud noises.
The adult deer looked towards the noise and slowly aproached it while leaving the deerling behind thinking it was better not to drag them towrds the danger.

Once the adult stags were out of sight the wolf child silently attacked the deerlings from behind slitting thier throats with his sharp claws and dragged them back to his 'mother' to show he succeded the trial.
Once the other wolves saw him bringing two black honred deerlings they all stepped back with tails between thier legs. Even they could not beat those beast so easily and tought if they made him do it he would die. The only one who was happy was ofcourse the 'mother' of the child as she stood proudly next to her 'son' and howled to the bright moon wich was hanging in the sky. All animals in the forest became silent as this meant that there was another wolf in thier pack and they all knew thet those wolves were the most dangerous in the whole forest together with the deer that lived there. Now that the child has been officialy accepted in the wolf pack the 'mother'was finaly allowed to name her child she chose to call him 'White Shadow' as the child had long white hair covering his body instead of the black the other shadow wolves had.
White is now 10 years old and is now able to talk to other animaos aswell and he's having fun in his daily life, his 'mother' told him that he could mate with other wolves now but something inside his head told him that he shouldn't, that it was wrong to do it, so he didn't.
Four odd years have passed and 'white' has become the new alpha of the pack as his 'mother 'has become too old and weak now and he was the strongest of the pack of 10 wolves. The pack thrived when he became the alpha, they got more food and more youg ones and they also had another lone wolve join the pack.
During the late night hunting that white joined he smelled something wierd coming from the borders of his territory and went to investigate. What he found was an odd creature that smelled like metal and had a very fast speed as it crashed into a tree and exploded, what came out of the creature was a human with blood and wounds all over his body.
*sniff sniff * he sniffed it and ran back to the den to ask his 'mother' what it was because he couldn't identify it.
Half an hour later he came back with his 'mother' to the metal creature and what came out of it.
when the 'mother'saw the human she first growled and then slowly aproached it and told 'white' that it was a creature from outside of the forest and that they should not provoke it. white asked if they should help it or leave it.
A day later . . .. . .

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
