《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 12: The difference between Soul Power and Magic
Advertisement
As I continued my adventure with Hazen X, I still continued to wonder about what happened and why my life is turning out like this. The only things I understand now is that I must get more strong in order to understand about my past. I then asked Hazen, "Hey, dude. Is it alright if we stop at America, I want to check on my teachers." and he said its cool. So we then forged passports and went via plane to America. Hazen's name was William Frank and I was Bill Frank, his younger brother. While we were in the plane, I noticed Hazen was still a bit new to the technology so I helped him out a bit. Before going to sleep, I noticed a shady group of people on the back seat, to the left of us. I knew that these people were going to be interlinked with us somehow, but I chose not to interfere with them.Finally, I slept and I woke up when we landed.
After getting our luggage and stuff, we rented a taxi and went to where my Sensei's taught me. When I went there, I didn't see Hartsen~Sensei around at all, not ready to attack me or anything. "Are you done yet? I'm getting no reception." Hazen said, a bit angry. I told him to wait a bit more and he moaned, than sat under a tree. I reassured him by telling him I'll by him a new package when we are done, and he perked up, in a happy sense. When I knocked on the building, Hartsen's daughter opened it, rather than him. "Oh, Johnny, what are you doing here? It's been a few years since I've seen you!" she said, and I asked her where Hartsen and Sensei is. "Oh.... about that.... Father is dead, he died 3 years ago, and as for 'Sensei' , he vanished right before his death." and after hearing that I felt worse. I didn't even fulfil my promise before the old hermit died.
After hearing about his death, I mourned for him for a few minutes but for some reason, tears would'nt come out. No matter how much I tried, the tears just wouldn't come out. It made me feel even worse, knowing that I couldn't even cry for my teacher. I felt worse and asked his daughter if she knew anything about magic. "Nada, Father always told me to stray away from those topics, as it always brought more harm than good, however if he taught me, most likely he would still be alive." and with that I asked Hazen to go. "Sure, wait a sec, almost beat my highscore in Subway Surfers. Yes!! Yess!!! GOD DAMMNIT!" and he threw his phone on the ground and waved at me to come, I then said my goodbyes and left.

After that I asked Hazen if he knew anything about magic and whether or not he will teach me. "Yah, Im actually a different specimen. For learning magic, you first must know how to call on your power of your Soul Emifer, yet I myself don't need it at all, which is weird. You see, for centuries when Soul Emifer and Magic were first found out, everyone always thought they were interlinked, like people only with strong Soul Emifers can use Magic, but it is kind of different. Soul Emifer's work on the basis of feelings/emotions and spiritual strength yet Magic works on the basis of Mind. Magic's considered to be known as the Mind Emifer as well. My Father taught me how to use my Mind Emifer without relying on my Soul Emifer, yet you are a totally different specimen alltogether. From what I gathered, you are probabaly the only one, besides the 4 great ones (Who Mastered Soul Emifer) who can manipulate Mind Emifer via your Soul Emifer. Your SE works on the basis of your ME, so that means unconsiously you are performing magic rituals, which seem like soul work." With that I kind of understood the jist of it.
From what I understood from that lecture is that if I want to be strong, I must be serious and use my mind to its fullest, and if I keep a cool head and continue being calm, while having spiritual strength, my power will boost by alot. With this knowledge I decided to train myselves when we were free. I was ready to train till I drop, yet I still wonder about Hazen X and whether or not he will need help, as he seems like one of those emo teens who just wants to play.
Anyhows, we rented a hotel and Hazen patted his pockets before realizing he already broke his phone. I sighed than went to the local market and bought him the latest phone, along with unlimited packages, which was about 1 million yen (about 10 ish thousand dollars) down the drain, and I told him if he was to break this phone, he will have to clean dishes until he can pay back the money I spent on him. He then listened to me, and downloaded Subway Surfers again. Since we were in America, I decided to check on Tou, to see how she is doing.
After about a week of us in America, we finally found the government. "Well Damn, this place! I'm not going to go there, so I'ma just hang out at the hotel. If you need any help, gimme a call and I'll be here in a jiffy. Well Seeya Johnny-Boy! have a good time with your girlfriend" He said that last part in a more mocking way. I flustered up a bit but I then calmed down and went to the gate. It seemed like the same those years back. "Hello, It Is Johnny Wellington, Senior of the Government Agency, Assasin Rank Rogue, Kills, None," I said to the door and it hissed, opening, saying,"Welcome back Johnny, you still killed no one? Damn, you rookie." it said, mocking me. Wait, how the hell did I open it? I knew I didn't even know any of that, but still! Probably something to do with my past.

Anyways as I entered, I saw a bunch of new faces, well, everyone was a new face, because I forgot all of them before. I asked the person at the main desk where Tou's office was and she asked me for my name. "Johnny Wellington" and she gasped. "Its...- Its... You! Tou~Sama is a-" and sudddenly her eyes turned black, pure black. "Jennifer~Sama is awaiting you. Go to room 5 on the floor -2" and I followed her instructions, yet when I went on the elevator I saw no buttons, but I saw a panel for a fingerprint scan, and when I gave it my fingerprint only one button showed up on the right. '-2' it said, and sure enough I clicked it. The elevator than went down very fast and it was feeling warmer by the second. Than finally I reached floor -2 . "Welcome to Floor -2. Please wear an Oxygen Mask or you may die!" the elevator chimed as it opened. When it opened, I took a set and looked for room 5 and I found it , open.
"Tell me! Where is he Tou! I thought you knew where he was! Where is Johnny Tou!" a familiar voice said. Another voice said, "I don't know! He vanished from the face of the planet 5 years ago, ever since he teleported away by that old man, I haven't seem him since!" I continued hearing them bickering about this and that when finally I heard Jennifer call out her Soul Emifer. "Yartsdra, come out! Heed my call, and banish the wicked. Now! Die Tou!" And right before Tou was about to die, I quickly summoned Yugrik and with hearing my call, it instantly , without me even uttering a word went to protect Tou. "Wha.. What happened? Where did this come from?" Jennifer and Tou were both startled. They then knew what would happen next.
Just like they thought, I showed up outside. "Hello girls, what happened? Man, you've both grown.... Big.." I said, staring at Jennifer's chest, at the end. "Hey! It's not my fault mine are as big as *THIS* girls" She said as she motioned towards Tou's chest. "Hey! Stop it!" she said, a bit flustered. "Where the hell were you to begin with, and why are you still so small?" Jennifer said, So I told them everything, except my background and about Hazen. "Oh, so thats what happened. Well that is kind of weird. Well anyways, although it's been nice meeting you, I have to kill you, and so does Tou, but she doesn't want to accept it. We've both been ordered to end your life before you've grown to powerful, as only a few people know about your true past, and although we don't know it, we could tell it was serious. So if you could, please feed Yartsdra your blood, as She has been itching for some blood, for the past 5 years. Speaking of which, we both have gotten much stronger, but you still seem like a scrawny little boy. This is gonna be easy."
With that, she came and attacked me head on, yet she still had no idea about my strength yet. Yet I underestimated her, since she punctured a hole in my stomach in the first stab. Tou yelled, and started crying, for some reason I don't understand. yet I still had my ace in the hole, or so I hope. I than grabbed my phone and yelled in it, "HAZEN! I'm about dead! GOT a HOLE IN MY DAMN CHEST! Would YOU BE SO KIND AS TO COME HERE, AND HELP ME?" and with that , I fell.
"Who's this Hazen kid, You got some friend now, Johnny?" and when she was ready to stab me a second time, Hazen and Tou both came to help me. I could barely hear it, but I heard Tou crying, saying, "You will be alright, don't worry, we'll protect you." and with that I fainted, having no idea as to what happened next.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place.

There will be no sudden power gains. The protagonist will have to work hard for what he gets. - This story is not about a loner, he'll have a few companions, and they will not be useless. - Some romance will be explored but not take away from the story. The main character will not be dense. Absolutely no harem will happen, but there might be a few love interests, no more than 3. - I will try my best to not follow cliches and stay as original as possible. - This story is my first ever, whether online or in real life. Thus, I might have grammatical errors here and there. The story might have a few plot holes and other such minute mistakes, as well. But I guarantee to try my best. Please give me feedback so that I can deliver a better story and learn to write better.
