《In Z Finite》26 - Hellish
Advertisement
Potentia rises from the rubble accompanied by two monsters and several wounded soldiers. She could see angels flying above her, forming a circle to surround them. Once they are done positioning themselves, a female angel archer raises her bow and shoots an arrow at Potentia. Potentia throws her body forward, barely dodging, the arrow passes over her head and starts to fall, passing very close to her back, the arrow ends up hitting the ground, falling right next to her ankle. Potentia screams. -Caruara! The small insect-like creature on her shoulder reacted Immediately to the command, Caruara drew its bow and shot a series of tiny spikes at the archer that hit precisely at the joints of her body. When the archer moved her arm again to draw another arrow from her quiver, she felt a powerful pain that made her suddenly stop for a brief moment. She then continued through the pain and still managed to shoot another arrow, but it was clear that her speed was impaired. The arrow flew weakly and fell without hitting anyone. Caruara soon hits the rest of the archers, interrupting the volleys of arrows now that the archers had become ineffective. Next, spear-wielding angels begin to descend, attacking the dizzy soldiers who were still emerging from under the rubble. One of the spearmen advances against Potentia, but at the moment that he trusts to attack her two huge claws hit the spear's wooden shaft, one from above and the other from below, the attack breaks the weapon. The angel is surprised by the abomination in front of him, he begins to flap his wings wildly while throwing himself back and gaining distance. The semi-humanoid anteater creature just stares at the flying angel hungrily while his tongue quickly extends and retracts for a brief moment. While the humans were surrounded by angels in the rubble area, another group of angels flew towards the humans that generally surrounded the prison. Morietur kept on flying away from Apis and the small force of knight angels that she lead. He had led them in a pretty good chase, but it was clear they were gaining on him. Morietur spots Potentia surrounded in the distance and quickly changes his direction towards her. Apis then jumps off her mount and reaches Morietur, with her weapon in her hands she attacks. Morietur raises his arm, blocking the attack with the blade in his arm, the rapier of Apis skitters, blade to blade, sparks fly in the air. Morietur screams -DON'T GET IN MY WAY SCUM! Morietur charges at Apis to plunge his other blade into her armpit region, taking advantage of a gap in her armor. Apis who had now completed her attack, was in the air, in front of her exposed opponent, she moves her arm back blocking Morietur's blade with her shoulder pad, then she performs a series of piercing thrusts, he tries to defend himself but she still manages to hit him three times, causing a puncture in the shoulder, another in the thigh and the last one in his abdomen. After being hit, Morietur falls off his pegasus. Apis gently lands on top of the pegasus, with a smirk of superiority, she leans slightly to see her opponent falling. When she hears the animal crying in pain it was too late, she looks in shock at horrifying a figure bathed in blood jumping at her, surprised and unprepared she only manages to execute a simple horizontal slash which Morietur easily reflects with his weapon, he then stabs his blade in Apis's thigh and with his other hand, he grabbed the hand she used to wield her rapier, thus fixing himself on her while hindering her movements. Morietur bathed in blood speaks with an uncomfortable smile as he moves his blade to hurt Apis even more. -I'll take you to hell, "angel". Apis is horrified at the sight that belonged in her worst nightmares, she quickly realizes that the blade of Morietur's arm was bathed in a lot of very fresh blood, and it wasn't hers, the pegasus was losing altitude and blood was gushing from behind. With strong dread, she realizes that Morietur had driven his blade into the poor animal to stop his fall. Apis finds herself unable to move her hand properly, but she still manages to toss her weapon to her other hand, Morietur releases her wrist in an attempt to grab her rapier mid-air, he fails. Apis manages to grab her weapon, but unfortunately for her, they were already low enough so Morietur was able to safely fall on the ground. Moments later, the pegasus crashed against the ground together with Apis. Morietur, already at a relatively low altitude, falls against the ground not taking any serious injuries from his fall. With the help from her monsters and soldiers, Potentia makes an opening through the angels and rushes towards Morietur. Morietur looks at her and speaks. -Potentia… Potentia reaches him and looks horrified at his body covered in blood and wounds. -Morie… Morietur points to where his pegasus crashed. -There is a high-ranking angel there, go kill it. Potentia looks at him coldly and then says. -Hey Morie, you're hurt, we need to get you to safety. Morietur -No, I will not retreat until we have an absolute advantage against this scum! Right after saying that, Morietur and Potentia see a huge stone flying against the angels. Several portals open around the battlefield, human reinforcements begin pouring out of them, bringing with them hordes of monsters, catapults, and soldiers M orietur -Okay, I'll back off. Morietur faints shortly after saying that. Potentia then hands Morietur over to some newly-arrived human soldiers who, though confused and even a little horrified, pass him through the portal out of the battlefield. Through one of the portals, Saeve enters the battlefield carrying Zarco's cristal with him, after seeing his troops on the battlefield he closes the portals. Saeve yells -ATTACK! END OF THE TWENTY-SIXTH CHAPTER

Minding Others' Business
In a world of magic, monsters and violence, sometimes you need strong, valiant heroes to champion your cause, to fight the good fight, and to rise up against tyranny. Sometimes you just need your favourite mop found, or want to know who your wife went home from the tavern with. Of the two kinds of jobs, Gabriel and his team would always much rather take the latter. The mercenary life is all well and good, but it's so much the better when you get to sleep in a soft, fluffy bed each night and wake up without any troublesome perforations in the morning. They might live life on the safe side, but the team is not without their merits. Their archer is a passable shot, their brawler is feisty, their leader is, well, also there, and, most importantly, they have a mind-mapper. A mind-mapper is a wielder of a rare and ancient power. With his unique understanding of the soul, and how it can be manipulated, he alone could change the course of history, influence global politics, and bring fame and fortune to himself and his allies. Unfortunately for everyone, he's just a bit of a d***. UPDATES EVERY MONDAY Discord: https://discord.gg/Jfbkthr
8 222Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.
