《War of Auras》Prologue
Advertisement
Different races have inhabited the land, but a specific one used to rule a long time ago. Some would call them gods, others monsters, but a better term would be aura beings. These beings were the only ones capable of using aura as a weapon. This immense power circulates through their bodies, just like blood in humans. With this power, they were capable of destroying entire continents and creating them; they could make it rain and cause earthquakes or hurricanes. Anything was possible to them. If they fought each other, it was even possible to bring an end to the world.
Each aura being had a different physical appearance. Still, all of them were highly aggressive and full of hatred. They didn't care about anyone besides themselves. The other less powerful races had to live in fear, hidden in caves as far as possible from these creatures.
But one day, everything would change when someone finally stepped out with no fear. In this day, a being, a single being, brought an end to all aura beings. If the aura beings were gods, then he was beyond it, much beyond it. No one knows who he was; the powers he used to defeat the aura beings and his whereabouts are also unknown. There is only one known fact about him. He could defeat the gods.
Even after being defeated, a fraction of the aura being's powers remained on earth. While exploring the new world that they now could step in, the other races got affected by this remaining power. Soon, all races had an aura inside them without even realizing it. This power changed their body composition at a chemical level. A fraction of energy that once belonged to one race was now inside everyone's body. This change was massive to all races that once had no control over aura.

Many years later, the world started to develop. Life started to be taken place in kingdoms, with business, writing, money, and more. The world had changed, and a new era had begun.

Silvertongue
After another long day at work, all Jon Christensen wanted was a cheap burger and some peace and quiet. Pulling into an ordinary McDonald’s, Jon only had the usual cares on his mind. His sister. The bills. A career with seemingly nowhere to go. But when a confusing encounter at the cash register triggers a violent episode in the parking lot, he’s quickly pulled into a world he doesn’t understand. His few careless sentences - and the odd gift of languages he’s kept hidden for years - wind up thrusting him right into the middle of a chaotic magical free-for-all, a battle taking place in the shadows of society. Entangled in an increasingly complex web of violence and lies, he's left with a choice: adapt, or die. Surrounded by strangers, Jon must struggle to survive, searching out friends amidst a sea of foes. If he can get his group of strays and rejects to work together, there’s a chance they might just make it out alive. Should he fail, the consequences will be dire - not only for Jon, but also for those he loves.

8 167The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Hi, I love to read the Harry Potter series and watch the movies! And I love fan-fiction. Also, I'm in the LGBTQ+ family. Add that all together and you get... A Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Harry Potter fan-fiction writer! This is my first series. I thought of Drarry first but now I think I should write a Hon / Rarry / candyshipping story.
