《True Essence》Frejars
Advertisement
Seeing one of his friends burn to death, all the bandits split up, and each went in a different direction, and Raja seeing this let them get away. He then looked toward the leader who was still on the ground with a stake of fire through his stomach, and said, "Looks like you're the only one left." the leader then said, "Spare me please, I can be very useful, I know a lot about this region, and I have-", but in the middle of his words a spear of fire came and pierced him in the chest. The leader of the bandits then began to scream in pain, the fire then spread over his body, and he then laid completely down on the ground and tried to roll in the sand, but unfortunately the fire wouldn't go out, and then after a few moments, he stopped moving.
Raja then got down from the cart, and the old man then said, "Very good sir Raja. These bandits got what they deserved, nobody told them to mess with people they shouldn't have, but why didn't you kill the ones who were running away?", Raja then said, "Don't make hasty decisions. I don't like to kill unnecessarily.", and then went towards the leader of the bandits. Upon reaching him, Raja stretched his arm in the air, and then made as if he were pulling a curtain in the middle of nowhere, and right after that, the fire on the bandit went out, and there he was on the ground, fainted, but unharmed. Raja then bound his arms and legs, covered his mouth, and carried him by the shoulder into the wagon. Then he did the same to the other bandit on the ground.
Seeing this the old man asked him, "You didn't really kill them." Raja then said, "There was no need. They hadn't done much of anything yet, and they presented no danger to me.", "I see, but what do you plan to do with them?", "Well, when I get to Dekin I will turn them over to the guards, and from there they will decide what to do with them.", "Well, I guess you could say that's fair enough.", "How far are we from Dekin yet?", "We are a little past the halfway point. It should take another couple of hours or so before we get there.", "That much? Damn, I think I will try to sleep then, call me when we are almost there, okay?", "No problem Raja.", Raja then got into the wagon and laid down on a makeshift bed that the old man had made for him and Gen.

Some time passed and the old man said, "Mr. Raja!", Raja then got up and asked, "What is it? Are we there yet?", "No, but it looks like there's a fight ahead of us.", "Fight? Ahh, let me see what it's about.", Raja then got out of the wagon and saw that a little ahead, there really was a fight going on between a group of people, and a group of animals. He then watched for a while, and then said, " Let's go. It looks like the people are losing, I'll give them a hand.", "Ok.", the old man started to approach the fight, and suddenly Gen came out from inside the wagon. He then said, "Good morning.", Raja and the old man then replied, "Good morning.", Raja then continued, "Have you rested enough Gen?", and Gen then said, "Unfortunately not, but there is no way I can stay asleep all day."
Gen then looked where they were going, and saw a mess, and then asked, "What's going on there?", Raja then said, "A fight between a group of humans, and a group of wild animals. It seems that the humans are losing, so I decided to help them.", "Hm, I see. How far are we from Dekin yet?", the old man then said, "Not too far. It should take another hour, an hour and a half at most.", "Good. Well, let's get it over with quickly, Raja. I want to get to Dekin as soon as possible. I can't wait to see the guys again.", "That's right, let's get this over with as quickly as possible." Raja said, but in his mind he was thinking, 'I just hope you won't be disappointed with the reception you will probably receive when you arrive.'
The wagon then approached the scene of the fight, and as it came closer Raja said, "Hmm, these people ... I have the impression I've seen them somewhere before.", Gen then looked carefully in their direction and then said, "They are from Dekin.", Raja then asked, "Do you know them?", "I've seen them a few times during the three years I lived there.", they continued to approach, and Gen then stood and said, "What's going on? There are some city guards here too.", Raja then said, "That's right, maybe this fight is on a larger scale than we thought.", they then got very close to the fight and then Raja said, "Here is good old man. You better not get any closer than that.", Gen then said, "That's right.", and then after getting his spears from the wagon, he and Raja got off the wagon and headed towards the fight.

Halfway through Gen asked, "What is this animal they are facing? It looks like a wolf.", Raja then said, "It's not animals, it's frejars.", "Frejars? I've never heard of that kind of monster.", "They are very common east of here, but I haven't seen them since I entered the desert.", "I haven't seen them either in all the time I've been in the desert. Hmm, well let's focus on dealing with them first, then we can try to understand what's going on.", "True.". The two then moved toward the fight, and some people noticed and started saying, "Who are they?", "Let's hope they're not bandits.", "Well, it doesn't matter who they are, as long as they help us."
As Gen got close enough he realized that there must be around fifty monsters, and about sixty adventurers and guards mixed in, he then said, "This reminds me of the expedition we took part in in Diton.", Raja then said, "That's right, only here instead of grunars, there are some frejars.", "Well, let's get it over with quickly. Raja you take the right, leave the left to me.", "Hey, but there are more women on the left.", " Bad luck for you. Let's go.", "Okay." The two then arrived in the middle of the battle, and Gen then threw Scar into a frejar, and advanced towards another with Light in his hand. The frejar that Gen advanced on quickly deflected his blow, and as he looked to the side, he realized that Scar had also missed his target.
Gen then thought, 'They are too fast, it will take too long to deal with them like this.', Gen entered into combat with the frejar in front of him while thinking about how to quickly end this whole fight, until the point where he turned to Raja and said, "Raja!", Raja had already killed three frejars, and then turned to Gen and asked, "What is it? Do you want to switch sides?", "No, but the way it' s going it will take too long. Let's end this together, help me get these people out of here." Raja then said, "Ok." Gen then swung the frejar next to him away, and then took a few steps back, and started heading towards where he thought was the middle of the area where the fight was going on.
He was going very fast, and each step he took crossed a few meters. When he got where he wanted to go, he then closed his eyes and then crouched down and put his palms on the ground, he stayed like that for a few seconds, and then he opened his eyes and said, "Endless space!", Right after he said this, everyone on the battlefield couldn't move no matter how far they walked. Gen then said, "Raja, get them out of here.", "Okay.", Raja then started moving the ground underneath all the adventurers that were there, and one by one they started to get out of the area of influence of Gen's essence. After a while they were all out, and then Raja said, "That's it Gen.", Gen then said, "Okay, Raja, prepare a strong area attack now.", "You got it."
Raja then said to the rest of the people who were there, "Come up behind me so there's no risk of you getting caught in the crossfire." Everyone then began to gather behind Raja, and when everyone was behind him, Raja thought, 'It's showtime.', he then began to create a fireball between his hands. It started out very small, but as time went on it got bigger, and then raja brought it up over his head so that everyone could see it, including the frejars. He then continued to enlarge it to the point where it was as big as a house, and then he said with a little tremble, "Gen, that's it. What do I do now, I won't be able to hold it for long.", Gen then said, "Get ready to throw it.", "Okay.", Gen then said, "Let's get it over with."

Domhain: A Modern Fantasy LitRPG
(Blurb) When Ardan, a teenage elf boy, is thrown into the world- his world, of distrust and tension, he wants only one thing. To live a normal life, get a job, make friends, even start a family. But either dumb luck or fate won't leave him alone. With the power of a game system and magic, he's determined to find out the reason he was picked, and what makes him special. Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?

8 136Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
