《Shadow’s World》15. They are our Teachers?
Advertisement
Some look like animals from our world but others just look different. There were billions of creatures here. You have creatures that look like they were made of pure slim, others were plants, and there were machine-like creatures as well. I might have seen some in movies or television. A robot looking person was sitting right next to me and I lean over to touch it. The shadow pulled my hand back and said, “there are so many things to see in this multiverse you guys are special, be proud that you are here and are able to witness this place. There isn’t any place in all of creation that have so many different species living in one place. Not only that but in this place, you will only find the best and the brightest. The things living here can say that they are the best their species have to offer. Not only that but my ship host the best fighters, thinkers, chefs, and much more. Your teacher Hercules is the strongest normal human in all of creation. Very few people can beat him in a fight. On the other hand your other teacher Goldfish, he is the greatest tactician in all of creation. Give him 5 people with arrows and he would find a way to destroy a spaceship.” The two walk into the middle of the field.
The screen started to show the two walking slowly to the middle of the field. We were way too high up we couldn’t even see the field. The shadow snaps his fingers and appears right in the middle of them. He takes his hands and put a finger to his lips telling the crowd to quiet down. In an instant, there wasn’t a sound in the whole stadium. A microphone rises from the ground and the shadow takes it into his hands. “This is the event you guys have all been waiting for Hercules vs. Goldfish. We haven’t had this fight in a few years so this one should be another exciting match, the number 1 rank human fighter vs. the number 1 rank tactician. Now, you two step into your respect circles it is time for a fight. We have two new guesses with us today so I am going explain the rules. The winner gets to decide when the fight is over. The opponent cannot give-up or asks for mercy. Killing is allowed but is warned if you kill your opponent he would be brought back to life with full health so be warned. That is it bow, now Isis give us the countdown.” The shadow puts the microphone back into the ground and snaps his fingers; he is now back with us.

“3,2,1 Start!!” Hercules walks slowly to Goldfish. Goldfish puts his arms up blocking his face with his fist. Hercules throws a right hook and goldfish was able to block it. He then starts a kick but instead throws a punch. Goldfish doesn’t react to the kick and block the punch and throws a punch of his own. Hercules easily swats it away and throws another punch in which goldfish had to dodge. Hercules grins and then starts throwing a fury of punches and kicks at speeds in which I couldn’t keep up with my eyes. Goldfish was able to keep up but he wasn’t throwing as many attacks like Hercules was doing. The stalemate lasted for a few seconds and then Hercules once again up the tempo. Now I couldn’t see any of Hercules attacks and Goldfish on the other hand look like he was dancing. They both were dancing to music I couldn’t see. Another few seconds and the tempo increase yet again and the screen was showing the two fighters faces and Hercules looks like his is enjoying himself and Goldfish was doing everything possible to not get hit. My heart starts to beat faster and faster as the fight goes on. It seems like Hercules have this fight in the bag but who knows there must be a reason that everyone wanted to see this fight. Maybe Hercules will get cocky and Goldfish would turn it around like in that tortoise and rabbit race story. It seems more and more likely Goldfish is going to find a way to turn this fight around. All of the sudden Hercules stops moving. Goldfish have a look of horror on his face but he couldn’t stop dodging, why couldn’t he stop. Hercules just walks up and kicks Goldfish in the chest. Goldfish flies and lands across the ring. Hercules rises his fist and says “I win.” The fight is over and the crowd erupts in joy. The shadow snaps his fingers and is back in the stadium with Hercules and lifts his hand up in the air.

The microphone rises from the ground and the shadow picks it up. “another great fight from the two of them. I have a treat for you losers today. My kin are here for training and I am going to show everyone my past. My childhood just because it is a special treat for them and you guys, should feel honored because only one other thing knows my back story. Say hi to my kin.” We appear on the screen for everyone one to see. I gave a little nerves wave. “You two tell everyone your names so we can get my backstory going.” “Hello my name is Wilfred and I am 10 years old.” My sister looks at me and sighs. “Hello my name is Wendelin. You know this man is a monster and must be stop. Why are you guys sitting here and playing his game. If we all attack him, he couldn’t beat all of us.” “Wow little girl, you refuse to stop. Everyone here should be dead; I brought them back to life. There isn’t a god that is able to bring back the dead. I know they have tried and failed. So yes those two are my kin and if one of you touch a hair on their bodies without my permission we all know the plenty for that, so please remember who they are and keep them safe. Isis start the movie, and get me some popcorn.”

8 106Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
