《Aurelion》Chapter 7

"The blood moon period?" I asked
"Perhaps the human race didn't want to pass down the dark history. I can tell you if you want." The woman said
I looked at Kishi and said "Is all this real?"
"Yeah"
"Then... why weren't you surprised when I told you I was a human when we first met?" I asked
"Well.... I was. But, I also know that humans didn't go extinct, that they still had settlements because.... I visited a human village before."
The woman suddenly said "So.... So the folktales were true? The ones that says there were hidden human sanctuaries in the remotes of this world?"
I turned to the demon, Radolf. He also didn't look too surprised when I revealed I am a human.
He must noticed me and said before I even asked "I was raised by humans"
"So they were true!" The woman said and turned towards me "Then what about you? Where is your home village and family? What is life like? How are your parents?"
I felt shocked by the question. I looked down at the ground and remained silent for a few seconds. Things were going through my mind, of what should I tell them, but then a sentence leaked out of my mouth "I don't know... I was very young... My parents kept telling me not to leave, that is was dangerous, but I never listened and it was probably my worst mistake of my life..." A few tears leaked out of my eyes. Kishi walked over to me and gave me a pat on my back. "I'm sorry.... I want to know more about the blood moon, but I don't think I can handle it now..." I said
"That's ok. When you are ready, you can always come to our tavern" the man said. "It's inside a village not far from here in that direction. We were on our way back when we met Radolf who said he was looking for the village, so we said he can follow us. Then, a few explosions appeared, but we weren't too worried as many adventures trained here. It was then a loud boom came and trees started flying in our direction."

We started walking towards the village. On the way, we talked about a few things like how special the beers are in the tavern, and the recipe for the tavern's special apple pie.
"Do you know about the god of the world? His name is Alduin, he really is a god that walks among us. He visits the village once in a while and every time he would stop by at the tavern and ask for a drink. And every single time, there will be groups of adventures and fighters gathered around him to challenge him to fights. But of course, as a god, he has never lost a single fight just yet, I don't think there's anyone would could win against him."
"Yeah, but that don't discourage people from challenging him, instead I think it encouraged them because after every fight he would tell them how much they improved and how strong they can get, giving them advice and such. Once, there was even a group of twenty people who fought him at the same time, a 20 vs 1, but they still......" the conversation continued but I had slowed down my walking speed and pulled Kishi.
"Hey dude, didn't you say that 'that man' could win against Alduin? Who is he anyways?" I asked Kishi when the other three has walked a short distance away, far enough that they won't hear me.
Kishi smiled and said "Well, that man is..."
"My master" A voice suddenly appeared from behind us
I took our my dagger on instinct and turned around while shouting "Who are you?" I took a proper look and realized who it was. It was Alduin, the god of the world.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
