《You World》Chapter 12
Advertisement
The smell of rotten eggs awakes you.
Your entire body is in pain, buried under a pile of debris. You try to inspect your surroundings but it’s too dark to see. But you feel relief. At least you still breathe.
You have no idea where you are or for how long you have been unconscious for.
You struggle, pushing against the weight of the rubble as you blindly climb up. It’s hard though, harder than you thought. But you don’t give up.
You dig. Deeper and deeper. Endless digging. To complicate matters, this disgusting smell is making you feel like throwing up anytime. But somehow you hold on, barely hold.
You have to get out of here. You have to survive. But it seems there is no end to this. After hours of digging, you are about to surrender yourself to this cruel faith. Then without least expecting it, you realise you are out. You feel relief.
But this isn’t the time to feel happy, not yet. You’ve to find a way out of this place, quickly. You crawl ahead, using your hands to explore your surroundings. But it’s way too dark.
You lose balance, spiralling downwards. You descend, uncontrollable, to the very bottom. You land on the hard ground, although it seems a thin layer of water covers the surface.
Then the lights of this place miraculously turn on.
You are in an underground labyrinth, piles of bones surround you and a layer of blood is resting below you. You can see the splashed blood on your body quite well.
You slowly stand up, shivering. This feeling is terrible. This entire place is terrible.
You are about to scream in despair, then you hear a melody. A sweet and docile melody. With nowhere else to go, you decide to check the origin of this melody. You have no other option.

You move carefully, stepping on the blood as you pass from one tunnel to another, trying to get closer to the source of the melody. You frustrate yourself every time you encounter a death end. You walk and walk, becoming more anxious as you approach the source.
Then you see a door. Your body instantly comes to life and you forget about your pain. You run towards it. You believe it is the exit.
You find yourself inside a large hall. In the middle you see a large circular fountain made up of bones, blood spewing out from the eyes of the several skeleton heads surrounding it.
“For eternity, this place was unreachable,” a creepy voice echoed as the docile melody faded away.
“I don’t know who you are, or how it is possible for you to be here. But I know you are real, and that you are here. And that alone makes you special.”
“This is the 500th floor of the dungeon. The final floor. You are the first to arrive here, and you shall be the last. You are the one who shall inherit my legacy.”
Everything begins to vibrate. Several cracks appear in the foundations of the room and you fear that this whole place is going to fall apart.
A skeleton hand then appears from inside the fountain. The skeleton then arises, wearing a red jewelled crown. It looks down on you straight into your eyes. You can feel the tremendous power emitting from his body.
He walks towards you, then he brings out a golden chalice full of red water. He gives it to you.
“Drink it. Inherit my legacy! Only then can my spirit guide you out of this place, and aid you later on when you are stronger.”
“Reject my legacy, and this entire place will crumble. You will perish here along with my legacy!”

You hold the chalice tight with both hands. You inspect it. This water smells like blood. You can see the reflection of your face in it.
Drink the water. Accept his Legacy. Refuse the offer.

You approach the chalice next to your lips. You are petrified at of what might happen to you once you drink this thing. But this seems to be the only way left. The last option for your survival.
You close your eyes and start drinking it. You can feel the terrible pain with every swallow you make. It’s like you are drinking acid.
You are not completely done when your conscious fades away. The chalice falls to the ground and breaks into countless pieces. The skeleton smiles and crumbles before you. The entire place collapses.
And when you open your eyes again, you are greeted by the warm sun and sounds of flowing water stream not that far from you. A weird looking bird is nearby, but when it notice you are alive, it opens its wings and flies away.

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.

The Devils Of The Biterrain
Zavier was an unremarkable suburbanite living just outside of Seattle. He was finishing up his final semester of high school and preparing to go to college despite a nagging lack of excitement for his future. In the blink of an eye, his life is thrown into chaos when Zavier meets a young man from an alien world named Yafu. Yafu has accidentally been thrown to Earth via portal while chasing the dangerous Poison Fang cult on his world. These two boys quickly come into contact with Arigo, a mysterious and powerful defender of Earth from various interlopers from Yafu’s world, known as the Biterrain. When Arigo discovers that Zavier was used as an unknowing and seemingly impossible vessel for the Fang to try to invade Earth, Arigo decides to send the two boys, along with his faithful assistant Anenna, to the Biterrain for answers on Zavier’s anomalous condition. In this new and dangerous world, Zavier weighs his own feelings of personal inadequacy against the backdrop of his sudden and mysterious importance. Meanwhile Yafu struggles with the limits to his thirst for vengeance and ultimately his future without it. Finally, Anenna must begin to confront a new identity as the last parts of her old one abandon her. In the background of their journey is the mystery around the Immortal King, the mythic founder of the Biterrain’s dominant religion who allegedly disappeared to Earth many millennia ago. Despite the planet being central to the dogma around their messiah figure, Earth has been relegated to myth and conjecture by the general populace of the Biterrain due to their inability to validate its existence in the present time. How will Zavier navigate in a world where he holds its holy grail within his own identity and who can he really trust in a world of such contrived obliviousness?
