《Devour》Chapter 3: Monster Core
Advertisement
"Today, we have a new transfer student," Ms. Remy said in a quiet voice, but everyone can hear her as she waves her hand, giving Jio permission to enter the classroom, "Come and introduce yourself."
"Hello, I'm Jio D. Spirit, fifteen years old from Cauayan city...hope you guys treat me well," Jio smiles as he introduces himself in front of everyone.
Ms. Remy assigns Jio a sit by the window besides Mickey, a perverted guy to the bone with no way of saving him back to be a normal human being.
"So tell me, Jio, did you get a good look at those wonderful mountain peaks?" Mickey starts to visualize Ms. Remy's peaks as he imagines touching those soft peaks
"Quiet! If I'm not mistaken, most of you guys don't have a soul weapon," Ms. Remy shouts and continues, "This class has a week to get one, or you'll be expelled! Dismiss"
Jio looks at Ms. Remy and the whole class, confused since he just got on his seat and the teacher is already leaving for the day after tasking the entire class one thing.
A soul weapon is where a blacksmith combines a regular weapon and a Monster race or beast core or parts. Jio might have a weapon but not a soul weapon which Ms. Remy requires. He doesn't have the necessary material to make a soul weapon, unlike Mickey beside him seems happy for no reason.
"You are not worried?" Jio asks Mickey, assuming he already has one.
"Oh, hell yea! I already have it, so I have this whole week off!" Mickey happily replies as he thinks of the week ahead.
"Lucky! Well, I need to go now since I need to find or buy a soul weapon" Jio waves his hand, leaving the class right away.

Walking in the forest while thinking of what type of soul weapon he wants, he doesn't know if Old Fang has the necessary materials or he might already have it on the stock. Jio is lost in thought as he walks in the woods, thinking of the perfect soul weapon for him to utilize.
"Where am I at?" Lost and confused. He tried to trace his way back, but it seems he went straight deep into the forest.
Not knowing where to go, Jio keeps on walking and hoping to find the way back. He walks for hours and must find shelter before it gets dark if he doesn't want to deal with wild beasts. While looking for a place to stay for a night and on the way back, he heard a loud bang as he cautiously investigates and walks towards the sound and saw a Monster race fighting a slime.
Jio immediately takes out two magic stones, water, and ice, realizing that they are both weak and can be defeated with the element of surprise. One is a weird-looking slime that has the ability to harden, while the other one is a normal Gecko that belongs to a Monster race that has the ability to adapt but at a very slow pace. Jio thinks that killing bought would be the most efficient way, but the Gecko didn't do anything bad or wrong to him and decided to help. Water surrounds the weird-looking slime and uses ice magic to freeze the water with the slime; Jio took out his sword then hits the block of ice, causing it to scatter everywhere.
"You know that I don't need your help, HUMAN" A weird cracking female voice coming from a Gecko that has a human facial feature.
Jio is frozen on the spot, knowing that a Monster race can be dangerous but helping this Gecko can help him go back to school.

"You don't need to be afraid," the Gecko said and pick up two ice block looking what's inside and throw one to Jio for no reason "Take this since your the one who killed the King Slime! I thought humans say 'thank you if someone offered something precious?"
"Tha..thank you! King slime?" Scratching his head, not knowing that slime also have a king.
"Yes, and kings are born every hundred years, they have the ability to harden, two cores and command slime... I only need one core," the Gecko swallow the first core she collected from the scattered body, and her skin starts changing from dark green to light brown and from her hard skin to soft skin like the Human Race; this happens so quickly that this Gecko monster now looks like a beautiful fairy-like feature and with the previous fight cause her clothes to show more skin. This usually makes any men' blood boils.
The Gecko monster's voice change from a weird cracking voice to a soft angelic voice and continue "That core is spacial, put a drop of your blood and place it to your sword to make it a soul sword if I'm not mistaken... You, humans, are weird with names and take this blood of mine to make it stronger as a token for helping me... Lucky human," she smiles and leaves without a trace.
Jio smiles, knowing that his luck strikes again for not dying this time and might have gathered all necessary items for a soul weapon but still lost in the forest.

Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
