《True Essence》Black lines
Advertisement
As they entered the castle, the two looked around and then Dehji said, "This place is huge.", "It is.", "Do you know where your essence is?", "Let me see ... it looks like it's right in front of us.", "Well, let's go then.". Dehji and Gen started heading toward the essence, and halfway there Dehji asked, "Gen, do you know what this black mist is? Is it part of your essence?".
Gen then looked around, and saw that in various parts of the castle there was a black mist, and then said, "Yes, I have an idea what it is, and it's probably part of my essence. got it. So it's okay if I end up touching it right?", "I wouldn't do that if I were you.", "Why?", "When we find my essence you'll understand."
They then continued on the same path for a while, until they came to a very large double door. Gen closed his eyes, and after opening them he said, "She's in there.", "Ok, let's go then.", "Easy there Dehji, let me open the door.", "What's the difference?", "You'll understand soon enough, now trust me and let me open it.", "Ok, go ahead, do the honors. Gen then approached, and opened the door.
As he opened it, a large amount of black mist came out of it. It was about to touch Dehji, when suddenly it stopped, and began to gather in a place in the middle of it. After it had gathered almost completely, you could see Gen sucking the mist in, and concentrating it into a ball in the middle of his hands. After he finished doing this Gen had the sphere follow him, and said, "Let's go inside.", "That black mist doesn't give me the impression of having anything to do with the essence of the spear.", "Just come with me Dehji.", "..."
The two then entered the room, and upon seeing what was in the middle of it Dehji's mouth dropped open and said, "Gen! What's that?", "That's my spear essence.". In the middle of the room was a young woman, she had long white hair, and was hanging upright by several black lines that made something like a large spider web around her. Dehji then asked, "Is that your essence? What happened to it?", "It's sealed.", "Sealed? Who sealed it?", "I needed to seal it."
Hearing this Dehji asked, "It was you who sealed her? That doesn't make sense. Why would you seal your own essence?", "I had my reasons, but anyway, do you think you can do something about it?", "Let me see.", Dehji then started to go towards one of the black lines, upon seeing this Gen asked, "What are you doing Dehji?", "I need to take a closer look at these lines to see if I can help her."

Seeing this Gen said walking towards Dehji, "No Dehji! Don't go near those lines.", "Why do you say that? Aren't you the one who sealed her? That means these lines are under your control right?", "Get down Dehji!", Dehji had a bad feeling and decided to follow Gen's lead by ducking. Right after he bent down, a black line went over his head. Dehji then rolled over and asked, "What was that Gen? Wasn't the seal yours? Why is he attacking me? Is this some kind of joke? If it is, it's in very bad taste.", "Dehji just be quiet, and let me handle this first."
Gen then saw the black line going toward Dehji again, and then closed his eyes. He reached out his hand toward the line, and it came to a stop. He then took the sphere of mist he had made, and handed it to the black line. Upon receiving the sphere, the line calmed down, and returned to its previous position. Seeing this Dehji asked, "Gen! What was that? Why was that black line following me?", "The function of all these black lines is to seal essences. It probably recognized that you were one and tried to seal you in."
Dehji then said, "Okay, I get that part. Now, why are they out of your control?", "Dehji, I can't go into details, there's too much at stake. If I end up saying more than I should, I can ruin everything.", "... arg! Okay, but when all this is over you'll have to explain everything to me.", "Ok, and what do you think? Is there anything you can do?", "Unfortunately not, I myself was almost sealed by these lines, imagine trying to get someone out of them", "Got it. No problem, I already have a solution for that. I just wanted to see if there was an easier way.", "You already have a solution? And what is it?", "Guess.", "You can't tell me.", "Exactly.", "That sucks.", "Haha, I'm sorry Dehji, it's very complicated for me too.", "I understand, no problem."
Dehji then said, "Well, I guess we have nothing more to do here. Let's go? You've been standing in the desert long enough, we better hurry", "Wait Dehji, I want to stop somewhere else before I leave", "And where is this other place?", "At my other essence's house", "You have another essence?", "Yes. How could I seal this one without having another one", "That makes sense. Well, let's go then.", "Okay, just give me a minute.".

Gen then approached the edge of the area with the black lines, he looked at the young girl inside, and clenched his fists as he saw her, he then said, "I know it must be horrible for you to be trapped like this, but I promise you that I will not rest until I release you from there. So hang in there a little longer, and believe me.", Gen then stood still for a while and then turned to leave, and then he heard a female voice say, "I know. I'll be here waiting for you."
Gen smiled, and then said to Dehji, "Let's go.", Dehji also heard the voice, but decided not to say anything about it, he then said, "Let's get out of here. Where is your other essence?", "Let me see ... it's to our left.", "Ok, let's go then.". The two then left the castle, and Gen began to teleport them towards his other essence.
After some time teleporting, Gen and Dehji saw a huge terrain in the distance, which was not possible to see the end of filled with the same black fog they had seen in the castle. Gen then said, "We're here.", "I can see it, but can I go in there? There's no danger of being sealed in, right?", "No, there's no danger here. Just come with me.", "Dehji then entered the area with black fog together with Gen, but when the two stepped in, suddenly their vision changed, and when they realized they were already in an unknown room."
Dehji started to look around and asked, "Where are we?", "Don't worry. It seems Eli noticed we were coming and decided to meet us.", "Eli? Who's Eli?", "I'm Eli," said a voice suddenly. Dehji jumped back a little and started looking around, searching for where the voice was coming from, until he found it. Dehji saw a table with three chairs around it, and on one of them sat a man.
He had long black hair that went down to his waist, and his hair was also covering his face. He was tied to the chair on which he was sitting, with only his mouth free. Eli then said, "Sit down.", Dehji looked in Gen's direction, and Gen signaled that it was okay. The two then approached the table, and sat down. Eli then said, "Gen, I know you already sat down, but if you could.", "Sure.", Gen replied, and walked over to Eli, brushing his hair out of his face.
Eli then said, "Thanks, that's much better.", "Anytime.", "Well how can I help you Gen?", "I don't need help Eli, I just came to see if you were okay.", "Well, other than the fact that now I'm stuck in this chair, everything is fine.", "Good. Ah, that's Dehji. He's the essence of those ruins I told you about.", " Nice to meet you Dehji, my name is Eli.", "Nice to meet you. What is your essence? Mine is that of the 'Unending'.", "Conceptual hmm. Unfortunately I can't tell you what mine is, but it's no different than yours.", "Is it conceptual too? What level is it on?", "Draw your own conclusions."
Gen then said, "Well, even though it's been a short time, we need to go Eli.", "I know Gen, no problem.", "Bye then. And Eli, I-", "I know Gen. You don't have to say anything, I'll always be here waiting for you", "Thank you". Gen then stood up from the chair next to Dehji, and the two of them walked out from inside the area with the black mist. As they exited, Gen asked, "How do I get out of here Dehji?", "Same as the teleport, just think about getting out.", "Okay."
Gen then closed his eyes and thought, 'I want to go back to the outside world.', he then felt his consciousness being pulled out of him, and beginning to spread throughout his body, until in a moment he woke up in the middle of the desert. He then said, "I'm back. It worked, Dehji.", "Of course it did, but now what. Where are we going?", "We're going to the town I was living in before I came here, but before we go there, we'd better stop in a nearby town.", "Okay, do you know the way?", "Unfortunately not.", "Then how are we going to find it?", "Hmm .... Ah! I know!"

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.
