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"

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!

It begins with two brothers who find themselves alone in the wake of a traumatic loss and become involved with a group of people set on taking revenge on one of the deadliest forces known to Valcrest.

Try Reincarnation, They Said. It Would Be Fun, They Said.
A young man dies saving his friend from a truck. His soul floats away, where he is then left to drift in endless darkness. He wishes for strength and power, the rights held by the strong. Unexpectedly, he finds his wish granted, and he reincarnates as the force of the universe known as qi. However, God realizes that he screwed the hell up and tries to fix his mistake, only to realize it too late. Out of options, he imprisons the MC on the lowest-ranking planet in the entire multiverse. What happens now? “Don’t I just get super OP?” That comes later MC. This is my first fiction and I'd greatly appreciate criticism. Feel free to let me know any problems you have with my story and any suggestions you may have. Updates are once a week, but will vary in dates. However, you can (most likely) expect a chapter once every week. I may miss a week, but I will make sure to make it up to you by giving you another chapter in a different week. This is also hosted on my website: Lonely Writing. Currently on Hiatus due to personal reasons.

Astrum Online.
After decades of war and a series of bad decisions from politicians worldwide, the governments of the world decided to establish a truly independent economic and political institutions to right their wrongs. Despite this, the damages incurred persisted decades after its resolution. Among the worst of the damages were the aftermath of a conflict in space which left the orbit of earth filled with dangerous space debris, effectively shutting mankind out of its final frontier. The lack of access to space prompted many to explore alternative means to space in virtual technologies and games. However, space simulation requires heavy computing power and difficulties in advancing computer science had always limited the potential of space exploration in virtual reality. Leaving it an undesirable genre in the VR community. That is until a not-so-surprise announcement by a company called Future Tech that changed the world. This is a story about a group of friends' adventure in a brand new Sci-Fi VRMMORPG that utilises cutting-aged AI to power its expansive world. A piece of technology that many tried for decades but failed to achieve. Join Prakash "Gulliver" Douma and his group of friends as they meet new people along their journey across virtual space, make new friends and enemies, and discover many hidden secrets and danger about the world of Astrum while struggling in their foray into adulthood. _______________________________ This is my first story and is a side project I had in my mind to help me cope with the pandemic lockdown. So I welcome any constructive criticism and please cut me some slack! heh~ I have problems managing my tenses so do let me know in the comments if you find some errors. Enjoy! P.S. - Please ignore my user id. I do think my uses of punctuations are honestly quite horrible. Oh the irony.
