Chapter 31: Support
A tall, well-built young man was genuinely smiling. "Hi, my name is Yan Ace. I wanted to greet you and wish you good luck. Umm...that is it. Sorry to bother you."
Safo Nur raised his head to meet the gazelle-man, his pitch-black but glittering big eyes seemed that Yan could see only his both sides but not in front of him. Safo inwardly giggled at his thought but made sure not to show anything for the gazelle-man.
Yan's prolonged brown face was somewhat hesitant in approach and he was pondering over his every word, pausing to continue further.
Safo Nut smiled and shook Yan's hand. "Hello, I'm very glad to meet you. I read your campaign achievements and I am highly impressed. Are you really serving in the Empire army? If you have time I'm keen to learn about the Empire."
From the very first day when Safo learned about the truth of the universe, he heard many bad stories regarding the Empire. His impression of the biggest conglomerate in the known universe was not a pleasant one. But it wasn't his own experience with the Empire, it was all from Kutch's words that he thought that the Empire was a bad guy. Safo wished to know more and make his own decisions about liking or disliking the Empire.
Yan withdrew himself a bit back and tilted his head to focus his sight on Safo. He tried to analyze Safo's true intentions before responding. "Of...of course if that is what you truly want I can tell you about the Empire. It is not as bad as you might think…" Yan wished to make the slightest influence to psiora towards admiring the Empire but he was rudely interrupted by the firm voice that came behind him.
"What the hell are you doing here? He is the grandson of a king who lost the war and brought devastation to our people. Get your stupid as* here, we have things to do."
From the distance, Safo could see 5 adults with hostile looks on their faces. All of them had blue neon light veins on their heads, the only difference was the pattern, unique for each individual as fingertips for humans.
These were the bodies that psiora folk could occupy before the war. Psiora could and did usurp bodies of any highly intellectual race. They conquered the small planets in order to get themselves a better vessel. Damage to the nations and literally baby kidnapping was a normal thing to survive for psiora. Up to a point before the Empire's chip in to put regulation upon the psiora.

Regardless of the fact that psiora newborn had no physical form and required one to live, the Empire couldn't ignore the results of their deeds to other nations. Government restricted the abduction of newborns from other races other than animals and insects which had not reached intellectual level 5 to form a language and society to be called sapiens.
Amongst the 5 neon-head psioras was the father of Yan. He gathered his fellow soldier friends to help his son to reach the title of the King of the Psiora. His personal interests matched with his companion, to rise against the Empire's rules once they took over the throne.
"Don't make me repeat myself, boy."
"I... gotta go." With that Yan took off, keeping his head down.
"I just hope that he won't be the next king. His father will bring us to ruins." Kutch said, watching Yan galloping away.
"You. All of you, in my office. Now!" Halazar ordered Safo and his team.
In the office, Safo Nur, the whole team, Halazar Woods, and two more Advisors stood looking at each other. Halazar, first broke the silence.
"So at this point, we have good news and tons of bad news. The good news is - we managed to fit you in. You have a right to participate now. The bad news is that it will be a hell of hard to win. You are lacking in almost every aspect. Before starting to discuss our strategy I want to introduce you to my colleagues. Military Advisor Maum Drew and Financial Advisor Elixio Quirz. Please listen to what they have to say." With a nod, he encouraged two Advisors to start.
"First of all, nice to meet you Safo Nur, grandson of the King Admaloo. It is an honor to me. I served your grandfather and fought alongside him for many years. I will be more than just happy to serve you with all the energy that is left in me. But! With all due respect, I want to openly announce that I will support a candidate who will bring back an army to New Tenga.
As you might already know when we lost... The empire made us get rid of our army. Millions of soldiers had been fired and dismissed. My only wish is to bring back power to New Tenga.
If you can guarantee that to me I will be your patron until my last breath."

Safo Nur saw the sadness in Advisors' eyes when he spoke about a defeat. Mighty and bulky frame with sad, aimless eyes.
'I can't imagine how it feels like to live as a Military Advisor without any military.' Safo thought.
Maum Drew solemnly nodded to the Financial Advisor to shift the attention of the room to him.
"Hi everyone, I'm the Financial Advisor of New Tenga Elixio Quirz. You might know me as the coolest Adviser alive. Unlike other Advisors, I don't have an ultimatum to support your candidature. Unless you are a total douchebag which you don't look like as one, as far as I can tell by now.
I'm willing to support and advise you as long as you need me. It is the only way for me to show my gratitude towards your family."
Elixio bowed to Safo, who was appalled by his words. For his age, he had not much of an experience talking to the government authorities, yet getting their support. He was lost in his thoughts and didn't know how to properly reply other than a simple "Thank you".
With that two Advisors finished their job and retreated to their duties. Halazar however just started instructing them so he took his time with them in the office.
"Advisors of Development and Environment, as well as every Curator, sold themselves to Ptech, they support B'hemah the "Behemoth" Cultrin. Whilst Military Advisor as you heard supports Kardon Gar and Yan's father, his former subordinate.
For the time being, we do not have to worry about them. What we have to focus on right now is the upcoming tournament.
It will consist of six parts. You have to prepare yourself for 4 out of 6.
Tell me how bad are your fighting abilities with and without your resources?"
Regal Advisor observed Safo's reaction intently. He still was trying to figure out what kind of a person was the grandson of Admaloo.
"Uhhm… to be completely honest with you… I suck at both." Somewhy he said it with a sigh. He wasn't sure that he was a total loser in terms of combat but seeing his opponents, people with a huge life and death battle experience he had predicted that he would lose the tournament.
"I see…" Silence filled the room for a short brief, everybody was thinking about things that concerned them. Except for Kutch, he jumped off his seat and declared that he personally will train Safo Nur, day and night within 3 days.
"He won't be at their level, yes it is true, but he won't be a disappointment."
'Wait... Does he think I'm a disappointment?! Well, maybe he is right. I'm not a match for those guys.'
"Alright, I trust you, nephew, but try not to make him an addict like yourself. Do you need anything from me?"
After discussing all the details of the upcoming event and things that were "must-haves" to prepare for it, the team left the room. Halazar promised to provide Safo with special clothing so that he won't have to change his clothes every time he used his abilities. Additionally, Halazar said that he will pull a couple of useful strings to find at least the first course of the "Immortality Path".
It was the technology so advanced that it almost sounded like magic. The Immortality Path was invented by the joint efforts of the four biggest nations in the universe. The first course, "Unbreakable Body", was the liquid substance to consume over 10 days. It guaranteed the best results for any type of body. Bones, nails, hairs would get toughened. Inner organs, muscles, and joints would be more durable. The white and grey substance of the brain along with its neural circuits will be energized making them more active and extending their capability.
The whole thing acted like a miracle to the body. It was almost impossible for a regular person to stumble upon the courses of the Immortality Path. Impossible to buy via regular means, the higher the number of the course the lower the chance of finding it. Only true aristocrats and the most powerful individuals could afford the final, fourth, course.
"That will be a huge boost to him, thanks, uncle." Kutch knew the power of the first course like no one else, he and his sister got one each when they were a child.

Alpha Physics - Post Apocalyptic LitRPG
A LitRPG Post Apocalyptic Novel. I would just like to thank everyone who has left comments and suggestions. I am confident that your feedback has made this a better series. Book 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are now on Amazon unlimited!!!!! Book 6 is currently being published and will be pulled down in the first week of August. I have also left the first two chapters of book 1 up as sample chapters for those who have not read the series yet. Word of warning the first third of the book is apparently very slow and then gets a lot better. Synopsis In the apocalypse, the first weapon he’ll have to upgrade is himself. The end of the world as we know it couldn’t come at a worse time for Adrian. One minute, he’s an operations manager who’s overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. The earth’s surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations. Many of those changes aren’t pretty. Plenty of them are deadly. Luckily for Earth, this has happened to other species before, and everyone receives an interface that survivors of similar events have used to navigate through an alien landscape. Adrian’s going to need every advantage he can get. He’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, there are days, maybe weeks of travel between him and his family, and in a world full of monsters and mayhem, survival means beating the learning curve…
8 147It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!
8 98The Man who knew no Limits
The story follows the life of a man who gets teleported to another world with a strange power. And that is where the cliches end. Common morals do not apply to the man. He is crude. He will do what he wants: he will not shy from using cheap tricks if it leads to a situation favourable to him. He will not save a damsel in distress if he doesn't want to, even if it is as easy as lifting a finger. He may even cause the distress himself if he finds it amusing. He may reward those who please him, while trampling those who are annoying. But the man's life, by no means, will be easy. He shall be OP, but it will not be enough, for some things just cannot be controlled. Warning: Gore, profanity, explicit sexual content. =========================================== I have taken the image from some article. If the owner would like me to take it down, can please let me know.
8 228Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...
