The theft of the Heart of Fire | part 1
Upon approaching the planet's surface, Sakura and Keiichi concealed their presence as much as they could. They had already made preparations in advance, also including buying the most useful items they could find for this quest. Among the useful items they found, the ring of invisibility was one of the best options.
The invisibility ring v1 could put them in danger, so they bought an upgraded one for 1000 points.
【Ring of Invisibility V2】
Makes the wearer invisible for 10 minutes and blends their presence with their surroundings, becoming "undetectable".
This ring could make a person "nearly undetectable". Of course, beings with high perceptions can circumvent this. However, they thought that this ring would be useful enough for this mission.
They were facing a situation where a mistake can doom them, so they prepared as much as they could.
Keichi: 'We have to be careful, anyway.'
Yato had emphasized that they would die if they found the Kraligian King, so they were very cautious about that.
Sakura: 'We're coming to the surface.'
Keiichi: 'Is this planet habitable?'
Keiichi was a little curious. Is there another intelligent race inhabiting this planet?
Sakura: 'We'll see.'
Sakura was also curious.
-
Upon landing on the planet's surface, they were surprised.
Keiichi: 'Man, I feel like I'm in a science fiction movie.'
Keiichi never imagined being in a place like this. It felt like everything he was experiencing was a delusion in his head or something. Sakura also felt the same way, but she already had these "delusions" before even arriving on this planet.
Awei was a planet composed mostly of rock and sand, like a big desert. The ground was orange, with some significant reliefs.
The planet's atmosphere was completely different from Keiichi and Sakura's home planet. The thermal sensation was the most visible difference.

Sakura: 'This place is too hot.'
She estimated the ambient temperature to be about 60 degrees Celsius, A pretty high value for her, who was used to an ambient temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Keiichi also felt the sudden change, as he was used to an average ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
Keiichi: 'It's hot, but that's the least of our problems.'
The temperature was the least of their problems. Their bodies could easily withstand a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius; however, the lack of oxygen was tricky.
Sakura: 'This planet doesn't have the amount necessary for a human being to live on.'
On Awei, a human would die due to low oxygen in the atmosphere; However, this does not mean that there cannot be living here.
Keiichi: 'How much oxygen do we have?'
Sakura: 'Enough for one day and a few hours.'
They had bought enough oxygen tubes to get through the rest of the mission. They can also survive a while even with the planet's low oxygen.
Keiichi: 'We're out of time, let's speed things up.'
-
Keiichi: 'Sakura, check this out!'
Keiichi was running through the barren ground until he ended up finding something surprising. Sakura approached him with a doubtful expression.
Sakura: 'What happened?'
Keiichi: 'See, isn't that water?!'
He pointed to a small river.
Sakura: 'Heavens, that really is water!'
Sakura approached the river. By touching the blue liquid, she confirmed that it was indeed water.
'Is it possible that there is life here?'
Of course, she wasn't including the Kraligians, as they aren't from this planet and just here to get the heart of fire.
*Bizarre sound!*
Keiichi: 'Sakura!'
Keiichi quickly walked away from the river, with a wary expression. Sakura also did the same.

Sakura: 'What was that?'
They heard a bizarre sound coming from somewhere.
'Shit! Don't tell me... a Kraligian?' Keiichi prepared to use the invisibility ring or attempt a knockout depending on the situation. Being discovered now would cause a big problem.
They looked across the river, and a bizarre creature was coming towards them. It wasn't a Kraligian.
Sakura: 'I think you're right, but this way of life isn't the most pleasant.'
Sakura looked at the creature that looks like a cross between a spider and a praying mantis. She was hoping to find something resembling kittens but ended up finding a disgusting creature.
Keiichi: 'Don't seem to have any intelligence.'
Keiichi launched a fireball at the monster.
*BOOMM!*
He thought he had eliminated the monster, but he was wrong. The monster came out intact, uninjured.
Keiichi hadn't struggled when he'd released that fireball; however, it is surprising that that monster survived his attack.
'That fireball could blow up an entire building, you know.' He thought.
Sakura: 'They must be very adapted to the heat.'
She sent water arrows that pierced the monster's body, killing it.
She was right, this monster was already accustomed to living in high temperatures, so the fire element wasn't very effective against it.
Keiichi: 'Well, I hope I don't run into any more of these along the way.'
Sakura: 'Let's go, I can already see their ship.'
She looked at the giant ship in the sky with a grave expression. She never thought of fighting aliens... or rather, she never thought that one day she would fight real aliens.
Keiichi: 'I see.'
-
"Collect everything you can, we'll go home tomorrow." A Kraligian in silver armor yelled at the others. This Kraligian seemed to be the commander of this mission.
The other Kraligians were transporting boxes of materials they found on this planet. These materials could have future uses, so they decided to take them.
*Roar!*
The Kraligians emitted a roar of joy at the thought that they had completed the quest.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
