《The Golden Throne》The Spirits Choose
Advertisement
Liu Feng could hear a lot of murmuring. It was clear that this was a never before exception. Then after a few minutes, the spirit to the right of the old man stood up.
“I will start us off. I will not deny that I have underestimated this human. But his performance in the second trial has impressed me. I, Pyrus, the King of Fire, give him my approval. He will be chosen to wield my power in the mortal realm.”
Liu Feng hastily bowed towards Pyrus. The fire spirits on one side suddenly dimmed down, and they disappeared. Pyrus looked at the old man and said, “Fire shall take its leave. It has chosen.” Then, Pyrus also disappeared, and Liu Feng could feel his body burning up. Particularly on the back, it seemed that something was etched there.
The other three next to the old man looked at each other. But they did not speak up. A spirit on the platform who was standing stepped forward and said, “The second elder of Earth, Primitus, gives his approval to the human. He will be chosen to wield my powers in the mortal realm.” Liu Feng bowed again, and could feel his body getting heavier, as his legs turned brown. Then on his feet, a strange tattoo of a turtle appeared. Then, Terran stood up and said, “Earth has chosen. It shall take leave.”. All the earth spirits then left. The Queen of water looked at the Queen of Air.
She stood up and said, “I pity the human who has to wield the consuming power of Pyrus. To let him survive, I Aquous, shall give him my approval, sheerly for pity on his life. He shall wield my powers in the mortal realm. Water shall take its leave.”. She smiled at Liu Feng and disappeared along with the water spirits.

Hearing that, Liu Feng felt a chill similar to when he touched the Queen’s hand, on the back, near where it burnt.
The old man looked at the Queen of Air and said, “It looks like the spirits of Air are not interested… what a pity, what a pity…”, and as he was about to turn, a spirit in the stands stood up and said, “Avian gives him his approval Your Majesty. He shall wield my power in the mortal realm.”
Liu Feng bowed towards the stands. His hands suddenly became lighter, and his right shoulder was marked with a tattoo of a tiger. The Queen of Air stood up and said, “Air has chosen. All elements have chosen you human. Do not disgrace us. We shall take leave.”. All the spirits left, and Liu Feng was left alone with the old man.
She quickly bowed, and the old man laughed. “Do you know that this is the first time that all elements have descended in one human? Of course circumstance has also dictated it, but it is indeed a remarkable achievement.”
“Yes your Majesty, but I did ask for your approval…”, Liu Feng reminded him.
“You are quite the expectant one? Be careful, don’t bite off more than you can chew.”
“Your Majesty, I am confident that I will put your powers to justice. I am sure that you know of my particular situation, seeing you are the king of spirits. I am sure that you know that this is the soul of a five year old boy that you see now.”
The old man smiled weakly and his attire changed to a more casual one. “Yes child, I know. I have heard from Him your particular circumstance. Infact, I was ordered to give you my powers, so no need to fret. But you must know that using even a little bit will be an immeasurable toll on your body. The elemental spirits’ powers should be enough for you, but mine are meant solely for life protection. You will not be able to use it more than a few times, so be careful.”

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Bow of the North
In game of thrones i felt that the Starks received way too much hardships and tragedy. i know that there were vital points of story, and there were times these hardships were building points for their characters, but i feel when every member of a family has been either killed, raped or crippled then they deserve a break. In my story that break comes in the form of a powerful hunter/general from another world. I have no intention of altering the story to save every stark, or have them win every time, and some of my favourite characters may even be victims of this plot change as well. edited The main character, and there will be several new characters introduced to the storyline, will not just be some over powered guy who makes outrageous decisions that always work out (cough Plot armour) but will be someone that treats the world as a real world and has fears, doubts and is cautious in his decisions. He is susceptible to changing his mind and character traits depending on his experiences in this life. The story will primarily follow the plot at the beginning with some minor changes, and as more things change they will increase till the entire story is changed at the end. I am not copying the world of GoT exactly. cultures, politics and nobility may be changed or made up.
