《Arching Choices》Chapter 6: The New Keys
Advertisement
As you are fumbling with the keys in your hand, You decide to let the gear do something with the keys, because it is trying so hard to take the keys from you. The keys fly towards the gear at a high speed before coming to an abrupt stop a few inches away from the gear. You have removed all doubt that this gear is extemely magical, and seemingly sentiant as it fights you on some decisions.
You see that three keys start to destruct, as pieces are seperating and floating in a weird circle. One piece from each key attaches themselves to the gear, A Diamond, A Fire symbol, and A Crown. You notice the remaining pieces don't drop to the ground or disappear, but instead they slam together violently, trasforming into a plain black key with no differences to a normal key.
The key created by the gear is shifting colors from red and gold. and you use it on the gear keyhole. The remaining Keyholes disappear and the shifting doorknob is replaced by a crank. Words form above the door.
You Have Used Key Of Possibility. You will be Transported shortly.
looking down slugishly you see that your arm is on the crank turning it slowly. As you try to move your arm to stop you only go faster, slightly panicking you try to move away but it seem all of your actions are in vain in the end becuse you are only turning the crank faster and faster.
Suddenly you hear a thonk from the back of your head. You feel pain like someone hit you, and suddenly you see only darkness.
You wake up hearing bird chirping and a pain in your back. You're in a Tree, but there is a ceiling to wherever you are. The tree isn't very high up, and you begin climbing down before coming to a realization.

You are in an unknown area, and you don't know what kind of predators are down on the ground. You feel that you could hold your own, but you aren't sure about your chances once you get out of the tree.
Cranking the gear you think about your options.
Stay in tree for safety and planning
Get out of tree for exploration

Lady of Beasts
Magic has vanished from the modern world, relegated to 'biased accounts' and fairy tales. It has no place in the world of heroes and science. Or so the modern people thought. They would be proven wrong, as one of the eldest lineages of the magical world is revived, to once more aim for dominion over the world of magic and man. Update: 19.4.2021: Revised paragraph formatting to ease the reading experience. Feedback is appreciated! Update: 16.07.2021: The last chapter is written! The title has also been changed, from "Return of Magic, Ascendance of the Old Blood", to "Lady of Beasts". [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust?
