《True Essence》Beautiful
Advertisement
After the sound wave hit Gen and Lina, the huge frejar went towards where they were, and upon arriving realized that there was nothing in place. He then looked around, and after a few seconds heard the cry of the fast frejar. He then howled, went towards it, picked it up with his mouth, and started to walk away. Meanwhile Raja had already killed the three red diamond frejars who were fighting Stanley, and was now helping the guild leader to finish the two red diamond frejars, and the awakened frejar. He was about to kill a red diamond frejar, when suddenly he heard a very loud roar from the direction where Gen and Lina were, he looked over, and then suddenly the frejars started running in that direction.
Raja then thought, 'That's the direction Gen went. I wonder if something happened! I better go there and check it out.', Raja was about to go in that direction, when suddenly, a few feet away from him, he saw two hugging people appearing out of nowhere. He then looked in their direction, and saw that it was Gen and Lina. He then walked over to them and said, "Look at that. Here I am worrying about you, and you're hugging each other, enjoying the moment." Lina then said, "I'm not the one who hugged him! Gen pulled me out of nowhere and started hugging me! That's it Gen. We're out of there, now let go of me!", but Gen didn't respond, and realizing this Lina asked, "Hey Gen! Are you deaf?", Lina then pushed him away from her, and Gen then fell backwards onto the ground.
Lina was startled by this, and asked, "Hey Gen what happened? I didn't push you that hard.", she then walked over to him, and Raja also walked over to her and said, "Hey Lina, what's the need for you to knock him down? It was just a hug.", "I didn't knock him down on purpose. He shouldn't have fallen with the force that I put on him, something is wrong.", the two then approached Gen, and then they realized that he was passed out. Raja then ran towards him and said, "Hey Lina, what happened to him? Why is he passed out?", "I don't know. Maybe he suddenly fainted from using his essence so much. He told me he was going to use all the energy he had to get us out of there.", "Well, let's go then, let me get him."

Raja then reached over to pick Gen up on his lap, and as he touched Gen's back, he felt a wet sensation, and then said, "Hmm? What is that?", he then looked at Gen's back and said, "Lina! What happened?", Lina then said, "What are you talking about?", "What? Look at Gen's back, he's bleeding.", "What? How is that possible, he didn't take ... oh no! It must have been when we ran away. That's why he hugged me. That idiot! I didn't ask him to do anything like that, and besides, if anyone was going to take the hit, it should have been me who can use resilience.", "Why did you have to run away? Were the two frejars that were with you that strong?", "That wasn't the problem, what happened was ...", Lina then began to tell what happened.
Raja then said, "I get it. He must have received the blow the moment you guys left. Lucky for him, he didn't receive the whole blow. Otherwise he would be in a critical situation right now." Lina then said, "That idiot! If I had taken the blow instead of him no one would have been hurt.", "Don't blame him Lina. It was obvious Gen wouldn't let you take the hit.", "Why do you say that?", "It's simple, Gen would never let a friend of his get hurt, knowing he can do something to prevent it. Even more so being a beautiful woman like you, hahaha.", "What does me being beautiful have to do with it? As far as I know who is really beautiful is my mother, I am at most above average.", "What? Are you crazy Lina?!"
Lina was startled and said, "What? I'm just telling the truth, or you think I'm prettier than my mother.", "Of course not. Miss Anna is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.", " There you go, you just proved my point.", "Lina, can I ask you something real quick?", "Hmm? you can.", "No offense, but are you dumb or are you just pretending?", "What?! What do you mean dumb?", "Look here Lina. Just because your mother is a goddess, who came from heaven to our mortal realm to grace us with her beauty, doesn't mean you are not beautiful. There are even uglier women than you who are still beautiful. So there is no such thing as you calling yourself above average! Apologize now to all the above average women!"

Lina then said, "That's your opinion. To a lot of people I'm just above average.", Raja then said, "Oh yeah?", and then shouted, "Hey you two! Come here now!", Stanley and the guild leader approached, and then Stanley said, "What's wrong?", and then he looked at Gen and said, "Has Lina killed him yet?! Tell me he has a chance to live, I haven't been able to throw my punch yet!", Raja then said, "He's hurt, but not life threatening.", Stanley then said, "That's great.", Raja then said, "But that's not why I called you here.", "Isn't it? Why did you call us then?", asked the guild leader, and Raja then said, "Answer me honestly, Do you think Lina can be considered beautiful or not?"
Stanley and the guild leader were startled by the question, and Stanley then said, "Hey Raja, what are you trying to do?!", Raja then said, "Don't worry, just be honest, nothing will happen to you while I am here.", Stanley then said, "It's not that I don't trust you Raja, even more so after everything you've done here, but I'm afraid I'd rather not answer that question.", "I'll skip it too.", said the guild leader, but then Lina said, "Who told you that was an option? Answer it soon before I get angry.", Raja then said, "You heard her, give us your answer.", the two looked at each other and kept making expressions at each other to decide who would go first, until Lina said, "You first Stanley."
Stanley paled at hearing that and said, "O-Ok, ... I think ... Lina is ...", Lina then said, "Let's get on with it, we don't have all day! Stanley then said, "S-so let's not waste time, I'll answer this question later.", but Lina said, "No, you're going to answer it now, and if I count to ten, and you haven't given me your answer yet, I wouldn't want to be you.", and then she started counting, "One, two.", Stanley then said, "I think Lina is ...", "Six, seven, eight.", "B-Beautiful.", Stanley said, and then ran behind Raja, however Lina didn't even pay attention to him, and simply turned to the guild leader asking, "What about you? What is your answer?"
The guild leader seeing Stanley looking good as he answered said, "I think you are pretty Lina.", Lina then said, "You are not saying that because you saw that Stanley looked good calling me pretty are you?", the guild leader then said, "Never Lina! I really think you're pretty!", "It's okay, I get it, you don't have to get so excited, I'm not interested in men your age.", "I didn't mean it that way-", "That's enough. I don't care about the meaning.", Raja then said, "See Lina? I told you that you are beautiful.", "That doesn't change anything, the opinion of three people doesn't say anything.", Raja then said, "Doesn't say anything? Lina, pay attention. There is no need to have several people say that a person is beautiful for them to be beautiful."
Raja then continued, "Just like essences, everyone has their own conception of beauty. Surely there is someone in this world who thinks you are ugly." Lina frowned at this, but decided not to say anything, and then Raja continued, "But that doesn't change the fact that someone thinks you are beautiful. Beauty is not defined by a vote. It's a personal concept, so as long as someone considers you beautiful, nothing and no one in this world can tell you otherwise, because in the eyes of that person you are beautiful, period.", Lina hearing this said, "I-I, am I beautiful?", Raja then said, "Yes Lina, you are beautiful.", Lina then was kind of at a loss for words, when suddenly, Raja felt a movement in his arms.
Raja then looked at Gen and said, "Looks like you woke up sleepy.", Gen then said, "Shut up, cof cof, your mouth.", "Hahaha. Hey Gen, taking advantage of the fact that you're awake, let me ask you something. Do you think Lina is pretty?", Lina upon hearing this turned to Gen and started paying attention, Gen then turned to Lina, watched her for a while, and then said, "What the hell are you asking Raja? Are you blind?", Lina then thought, 'Finally someone sane. Tell them Gen.', Gen then continued, "If Lina isn't pretty, who is?", Raja then said, "That's what I thought. See Lina, I told you.", Lina was staring at Gen, but didn't answer Raja, and he then asked, "Hey Lina, did you hear what I said?", Gen looked at her and said, "Forget Raja, cof cof, she won't answer you now. She has the same, cof, eyes that you had yesterday. Her essence is leveling up."

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
