《Equilibrium》2.) The birth of a new deity
Advertisement
“I am your guardian, I appeared as you called. So from now on I´ll be your sword, your shield and if you wish also your friend.
You are free to give me a name. And you should also pick a name for your self. A name is important, so that neither you nor I will forget our meaning of living. With a name you’ll bind yourself as the new deity. Your name will also be the contract, to complete the process of turning you into a real divinity.
As you can see, my form is, at it is in the moment, nothing more than an old fashioned Wagasa.
But I can feel that your spiritual pressure has the affinity for shape-shifting and even some very rare affinity´s more.” A female voice spreading out from the umbrella
(Authors note: a wagasa is the name of a japanese umbrella, from ancient times. For the easy going spiritual pressure will go by SP in the continuing story)
so this gesturing before has actually done something... wow that’s just great.
So I really have a real godlike guardian now, but whats with that shape?.. Its.. its a female umbrella,
yeah I must say, I am really impressed by my talent as a new deity. Who would have guessed that I might be able to summon an old umbrella to protect me. But well lets see how it´ll go.-Me
“So I must decide a name, for the both of us? “ I asked her
“Yes, as I explained earlier your powers will awaken for real, if you become a named being” The umbrella urged me to hurry up
The longer I hear her voice, the more it reminds me of a cat.
“What would be a great cats name?”-Me
Her voice is just the exact same pitch, as you would imagine a cute cat/human hybrid goth lolita.
It makes you wanting to cuddle her and petting her even if she´s just an umbrella.
“I think I just have the right name for you.” I said with a teasing pleasure in my voice

“Really? That’s great. Than come on let me hear it, I want to know my name!” she sounds really excited
“No, not yet. At first I want the both of us to have a name. I need to come to a conclusion.
But not as easy as said, what would be a matching and benefiting name for a new deity?
I think it should be something mighty but not arrogant, don’t you think so too?”I asked her, while half talking with my self.
“Well I would go with what ever a name you´ll pick, but the real deal is that I wanna hear my name”She now nearly yelled at me, with an even more excited voice
I remember something cool, when I used to think about life and everything back on earth. I have read about an old philosopher with an hilarious name. Ah when I remember correct he was named
philippus theophrastus aureolus bombastus von hohenheim.
“Yes!! That’s it. I´ve come to a conclusion, are you ready to get named?” me asking a stupid question, realizing this as I saw the umbrella shivering in over excitement.
“Ok. Keep paying attention I´ll name you now, your name will be.... Mia! Because I can just perfectly imagine you with that name. I hope you like it?” I asked her, a bit worried about her reply
“So, before you answer let me settle things with my name. Something noble but not arrogant....
My name will be VAN HOHENHEIM!” I applauded my self for that great introduction of my name
But there should be not much time to think about any replies nor great introductions. At the same moment I finished my sentence, a “swooosh” sound knocked me of my senses and a bright white shining light enveloped me.
I was kinda caged in a cone of white shining light, but although I was surprised by that, I feel odd peaceful and secure in here.
A thew seconds, after I established to all my senses again the List of my ability’s appeared in front of me.

And I slowly recognized that the letters were separating themselves from that sheet of paper and were floating towards me. They came near me and then in one moment to another they irrupt into my eyes.
I feel an odd power running through my whole body and my horizon seems to be far more broadened. I can think over multiple casual things at the same time and I always have an answer for everything.
“Wow that feels sooo great. I can really give a thought about everything.”- me
Than I heard a very suspicious, but familiar voice in my head.
“Well done, you have reached the ultimate form of being for yourself. From now on you´ll be known as the deity of Equilibrium, Van Hohenheim!
My congratulations I hope that you will have fun and can enjoy your duty as divinity.
I had send your guardian to your site, she´ll be always with you and´ll protect you, not that it´ll be necessary.
From now on you will learn about your ability’s and powers, how to control them and develop them .
Your state of God will be valid in all Universes and worlds you visit and people will know the name Hohenheim already. This is thanks to the ability “Mythology” this will be the only power I´ll explain to you.
Mythology allows you to build your own religion, or better your own clan. Each god has the right to be worshiped. With this power you can give the ones you consider worth of your clan, some special powers. Those powers you can give them are an attenuated version of a power of yours, but it´ll be enough to overpower all normal beings in all worlds. You can also limit the given powers yourself and not all your clan member must be given a power.
The 2 last things, mythology will set a memory of how you acted as god and will supply a memory to people who heard your name. In fact that means you´ll be feared or welcomed.
Last thing, mythology allows you to enter the “gods world” there you can meet with other divinity´s and with those gods who are bound by a shrine or church.
So for now we are finished with explanations. Go and show me that you are worth of being considered for this duty.”God
The cone of white light disappeared and I was released from keeping silent.
I feel really awesome now and I have an enlarged vision, its like I can see all around me without even moving my head.
At first I examined my body, in search for something odd or god likely. I got disappointed as I realized that everything was the same way as before. I am still that 1.92 cm tall, black haired man with my small goat beard and my black kimono with shining moon patterns on it and also wearing an oversized black sakkat hat.
“Wait... Why the heck am I wearing such clothes?? where are my blue jeans and my T-shirt gone... well not that I dislike my new outfit, but... just when did this happen?-Me a bit flustered
“So, ähh Mia, what about you? Are you all fine with your name? And do you have any powers now, now that I´ve fully become a real divinity?” Me asking that beautiful, small and cute girl in front me
“HOLLY SHI*..., You.. for real?? Me just going crazy screaming, right in front of that sweet chick.
She is around 156 cm tall and has snow white hair and a face like she has fallen right out the Heaven.
(Authors note: just like this, deal with it in weeaboo style hehe. http://markentir.com/images/115433-anime-girl-with-white-hair-blue-eyes.jpg

Aevalin and The Age of Readventure
Below you can find the blurbs for each arc of Aevalin and The Age of Readventure. Aevalin: Klause Schuar the Grand Bastard (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #1) Klause Schuar, the Grand Bastard who destroyed the world in his pursuit of magical power, believed to be a only legend by some, is a horror of the distance past. Though seven-hundred years after the Age of Darkness, the world is birthing itself anew—the dark magicks have receded and the festering plague that extinguished entire kingdoms is no more. The roads have been opened and regular travel between nations is now possible. The newly formed guilds are active. Where monster hunting and dungeon diving are lucrative trades, long dead kingdoms are being rebuilt in this glorious age of rediscovery. This is the story of Arlian Brennovo, lord and commander of the City Watch during the last days before the Age of Darkness—before the Age of Readventure! * Glorious New Age (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #2) Yoreno Brendara, a relatively sheltered noble, has joined his father in the mythical kingdom of Aevalin with his mother and sister. His father has arranged for him to train under Dantera Brennovo, a descendant of the legendary Arlian Brennovo who fought in the Grand Bastard’s war against King Balthazar and his High Mage to save the world. Now Yoreno will become an adventurer, fighting alongside a successful lady in arms—and a rich one at that. It is a grand opportunity for Yoreno to become a knight of Aevalin and to participate in the glorious new Age or Readventure! * Knight of Aevalin (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #3) After being conferred with a knighthood, Yoreno plans to enjoy the Age of Readventure festival with his friends and mentor. During the festivities Yoreno witnesses a plot to assassinate king Branlin. Dantera Brennovo, top-tier adventurer, knight of Aevalin and lady of rank, is charged by the king to quietly uncover the plot. As her newly knighted protégé, Yoreno must assist Dantera in her efforts to keep the king and his new Age of Readventure alive. * Errant Adventurer (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #4) Having unexpectedly received Dantera’s lands and titles after her banishment, Yoreno places Yorinius in command of the Roaming Lions. Together with his friends, Yoreno and the members of the Emblazoned Party set out in search of Dantera as she pursues King Branlin’s assassin far outside of the safety found within the borders of Aevalin. * Kingdom of the Blue Dragon (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #5)Having survived capture and escape from the barbarous tribal stronghold in the hills, Yoreno and his friends set forth with Dantera to scout out the assassin clan responsible for King Branlin’s death. Weather they have the necessary strength to challenge the assassins, they do not know. Meanwhile Yoreno’s close proximity to Dantera continues to distract him from their quest at hand.
8 693Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World
A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters. It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star. Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin. This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones. Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone!

As of september, the updates will be every even-numbered day. Cover Credits: "Ett gammalt bergtroll" - John Bauer, 1904 (with modifications)

With the UN sputtering its last, dying breath, hope came in the form of a man appearing from a nuclear explosion. From a world of sorcery, his knowledge could have been the exact thing humanity needed. But his magic simply wasn't enough. Florian Cale didn't care.
