I'm not perfect so any mistakes you feel like pointing out post them below

"Rise my champion"-Lorelion
As he said those words white particles gathered around me and formed a stream towards his right arm where it formed something like a tree without a crown
Doing so made me feel connected to him somehow , it felt like a tiny thread.
"That was felt funky"As i said that he looked me with a weird expression"So how about extra details about the tournament?">Eziol
He asked looking at me with expectation
"Wont you ask me what i just made you do?">Lorelion
"Sorry to burst your bubble , but that was a magic pledge and i left it open ended on all fronts , don't know who thought you that but they didn't do a good job. The only part i din't expect is the crest on your hand. I'm guessing ill have on to right? And please tell me i can use it to communicate with you when you send me to the planet , cuz that what i guess the fuzzy feeling is for.And how do i use it?">Eziol
With a bit sadness and disappointment he answered
"Mhhhhhn....How did you find out i hoped to amaze you with my godly power">Lorelion
"Simple the moment you showed me your true form all those flashy transformations you used to hipe the moment evaporated. And most of the story books in my world had similar stuff.Not to mention that who in their right mind will make something useless? Especial you. As a god of evolution i guess you hate useless things, or am i wrong?.">Eziol
"You are right..."He said with a low voice and continued apologetically"I am sorry for lacking the power to give you a body or a powerful blessing like that of the other champions.All i can give you is a normal body, and a simple blessing and since i am not strong like the major gods the blessing will not be better that the body.">Lorelion
I answered with a mocking tone
"I'm starting to think you aren't the brightest god are you?.">Eziol
"Hey why do you keep insulting my intelligence , for a just a soul you have a big mouth.">Lorelion
"You still don't get it do you?Let me give you a tip. YOU are the God of evolution your power is extreme adaptability for survival.So what
has the biggest adaptability amongst all living things.">Eziol
"Why is that important all the other gods summon or rebirth their champions in human bodies almost the same as they had in their previous life so why should i do it any different?">Lorelion

"Huh... this is getting tiring"I said with a low voice"So before i answer how a bout you tell me can you modify or make new blessing and or modify my vessel how ever you wish?">Eziol
"Why is that important?Are you saying that the vessel and blessing i made in the last ten years is for naught?">Lorelion
"Ill take that as a yes and the answer is yes">Eziol
He answered with irritating and anger.
"Well lets hear if you can do a better job than a god?">Lorelion
"Ok. I'm guessing the blessing allows the body to develop beyond the physical and biological limitations like growing an extra arm, better eyes, claws and basically everything that is deemed necessary"He nods in conformation with a bit of wonder in his eyes"So to answer my own question it the single celled organisms. They can live through hell and back without a drop of magic. Viruses are another option they can mutate very fast due to external stimuli like medicine in which case they become immune to it if low enough quantity of it was used.So how much power a sco(single celled organism) will cost you in term of power?">Eziol
"Why didn't i think of that"He whispered under his nose and answered"A lot less as the body is concerned , but the blessing still takes about 90% of my power so for the body i guess we have a about 10%.">Lorelion
"Can you make the blessing to something like intelligent design?And for the body can you make it able to absorb DNA , essence,matrix of life or what ever you call It?">Eziol
"That is......"He started thinking while doing air gestures and counting something with his fingers.As he looked ate me he answered"Its quite doable and i even have a
bit of power left over.But can you tell me what do you mean about intelligent design , from what i just checked i can make quite a few blessings that fall under that category.">Lorelion
"I want to be able to build my body the way i want it to be.Also something like a memorization for when i become multi celled cuz it will be pain if i have to
micromanage all my cells.">Eziol
"Yeah that does not sound fun. So if you want to become multi celled why don't you just start as one?">Lorelion
"I'll have more control over my biological and physiological processes and i will know how i tic from day one instead of having to learn how my body will work.">Eziol

"I do not understand the difference but i see how everything else works better.Also what do i do with the unspent power?">Lorelion
Well he still looks a bit sad that his effort have gone to waste.At least i can give him the ability to customize it a bit.
"You know i have no idea about magic much less god like powers so ill leave it up to you.As long as i don't look like pink vibrator with polka dots ill be fine.">Eziol
"Thanks i have some good ideas for it.And whats a vibrator?">Lorelion
His question got me frozen for a moment'Damn this kid is so innocent aren't gods supposed to be all knowing about common sense and their Domain?'
"You will find out when you grow up to be a powerful god">Eziol
"You know i am 132 years older that you right?">Lorelion
"Hahah..."I chuckled slightly"Human years?Yes you will be But considering that the average god is several milenia old you are a brat physically and mentally.">Eziol
He pouted again and his cheeks got red from embarrassment and a bit of anger.We stayed in silence for a while and i asked a question thats been bugging me.
"So gonna tell me why you need a champion?">Eziol
The silence continued for a while. With his head down he talked very quietly if i wasn't a soul right now i probably wouldn't have heard it.
"I want to show them that i too can be a god.Some one my mother would be proud with. Someone she will....">Lorelion
He didn't finish his sentence only tears roled on his cheeks.
'Damn he might be a god but again and again i remind myself that he is still a child.And i realy hope the end to that sentence isn't what i think it is or heads will roll one way or another'>Eziol
As i said that my habit kicked in , when ever my sister cried i would pat her head to calm her down or give her a hug , as i tried he looked looked up in surprise
"How did you do that?">Lorelion
"Huh..it actual worked..">Eziol
I continued to pat him until he calmed down and looked at me with a smile and started whipping his tears with his tunic
"Thank you i'm okay now.">Lorelion
"Sorry for asking such a question.Change of topic.You said you'll tell me more after i agreed to be your champion so how about some on info on my title and what do i need to do in order to help you?">Eziol
He looked at me with teary eyes and said
"I want you to win the annual champion battle">Lorelion
"A how about you start from square one and explain everything about the champion battle.">Eziol
"Mhn"He noded energetically in agreement"Since the gods have too much power they used to destroy the mortal realm evry time the quarrel.Back then there we only the God of Time, the God of Space , God of Light , God of Darkness , God of the Abyss, and God of Creation.Well the culpits were usualy the God of Light and Darkness. And the others had to fix their mess every single time .So the God Time froze them for as long as he could after recreating time. The God of the Abyss cleaned the mess and the Gods of Space and Creation recreated the mortal realm with the addition of life.It grew in time , and as it started to need something to believe in new gods were born one after the other.When the god of Light and Darkness left their prison they noticed the newcomers,Ignoring them the tried to battle once more before the other gods stoped them and the Goddess of Wisdom proposed something more entertaining and less destructive.She proposed the champion battle.The two rivals found that quite entertaining so the acsepted and
after the first came the second and third battle eventual the other gods fought the same way and even began to bet parts of their own power.This brought chaos to the mortal realm so the my mother ,and one of the children of the God of Creation, offered to make it into a single battle that can repeat evry millennium in order to let the mortal realm rest and heal and those who participate had to bet a small portion of their power in order to prevent petty sqables. And regardless of the number participants the winner will take all the power minus the power needed in order to restore that which can not the realm do so by itself.The only rule was that the gods cannot interfere directly with their champions by giving them additional power in any form including information about their enemies.That about covers it">Lorelion
After his lengthy explanation he looked much better his eyes were a bit red though.
"So can the champions use a nation to hunt the other ones?">Eziol
"Yes but they must find them with their own power.">Lorelion
"Sounds simple and good.How many will participate this time around?">Eziol
He looked at me apologetically and simply said
"All of them"

8 146Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.
8 94Tales of Realms
A Cultivation World. A Young man named Scrifo with no knowledge of his birth parents, raised by a rowdy man, starts his journey in the world filled with complex relationships, plots and powerhouses that could bend the world to their will with just a glance. A Path filled with War, Honor and Helpless Sighs of Scrifo and his comrades. His brothers and sisters, who together with him will laugh with content at the World's Apex. A Tale of Brotherhood, Love, Tears and Oaths that will sometimes fill them with heart-warming joy while other times with heart-wrenching sorrow and would unknowingly lead them to the centre stage of the realms. Disclaimer: Though the book has Xianxia tag there will be no chinese names in the novel because it would be quite idiotic of me to try and use chinese names without understanding what they mean or represent and for that you have my apologies. What this tag represents is that you'll have a working cultivation system, fighting techniques, people on the quest to reach the top of the world, a world built around cultivation. Of course, everything with my own salt and pepper added to it. Hope you won't be veered off right here and will try a different take on the xianxia genre. I can assure you you won't be disappointed. Release Schedule - Ideally, Weekly Updates on Fridays or Saturdays. Chapter Size - Around 2200 Words Book Size - Honestly, I Don't Know.
