"Now! Hand over all your valuable things! Or…" the leader of the bandits threatened with a ferocious smile, pointing a sharp blade at Guard Wang.
"Including this carriage and horses." The bandits were so greedy that they didn’t even plan to pass the carriage and horses.
Although Guard Wang and the others were all with grim faces, there was no panic in their eyes. The bandits were rampant in the area around Tanyang, so they had seen this a lot. But what they didn't expect was that bandits dared to blatantly rob on the road near the capital. More importantly, they were outnumbered.
It was not far from the Liantang Town. So it wouldn’t take them long to get there even if they gave the carriage and horses to these bandits. But were these bandits so simple to get rid of?
"Butler, what should we do?" Stone was so nervous that his hands began to sweat. He even dared not to breathe.
The butler turned a dark face. He took the envelope out of the bag and stuffed it into his bosom through collar, then repackaged the bag and carried it on his shoulder. "We may have to run for our lives, you should carry your bag on your shoulder well."
"What are you waiting! Do you want to try the power of my big knife? Open the curtain first and let me see who is sitting in the carriage!" The bandits outside were already shouting impatiently.
Guard Wang leaned close to the window of the carriage and whispered to the people inside, "There are dozens of bandits holding weapons in their hands. And it seems that they are quite experienced. We are no match for them. Uncle Li, you and Stone should come down first, and we will clear a path for you. You should run forward along this road and don't stop. We will follow up later!"

"Okay, young man, you should be careful!" the butler said.
Then the butler lifted the curtain of the carriage and got off with Stone.
Those bandits saw two men coming down the carriage and suddenly showed a disappointing look. "Pooh! How can it be two men, really bad luck!"
"Dear Masters, do us a favor please. We will give you both the money and the carriage. Let us go, please." The butler bent down slightly as he pleaded.
"Cut the crap! Hand in all your bags! If you guys dillydally anymore, we will kill you right away," the bandits threatened.
The butler tipped a wink to Guard Wang. He pretended to hand the parcel to the bandits and walked towards them with Stone.
The bandits all began to be very complacent when they found that this man behaved so clever. They looked disdainfully at the butler and the other people with malice.
“Hurry up!”
The butler and Stone approached the bandits gradually. Just as the bandits were getting carried away, Guard Wang and the other three guards suddenly rushed at them from behind the butler and Stone.
Lao Liu, the coachman, with a long stick in his hand, followed the guards and ran quickly to the butler and Stone, shouting as he passed the two, "Run!"
Guard Wang and the other three guards attacked suddenly while the bandits were unprepared. They deliberately stabbed the horse's ass with their knives. The horses, out of pain, rushed at the bandits with a long cry at the moment of being stung.
Guard Wang and the other guards really cleared a way for them to escape. The butler grabbed Stone and hurried away
"Don't let them go!"
"What the fuck! Kill them!"
The bandits kept cursing. At the moment a man pulled the cheval-de-frise up and tripped the horse to the ground. Stone was stumbled unexpectedly, too. He unconsciously grasped the butler tighter, which brought the butler down to the ground too. Seeing this, Guard Wang and the other guards couldn't help crying out in their heart. The chance to escape was missed for a brief moment. The butler and Stone tried to get up and rush out again, but there was no chance for that.

The only one who took the chance to escape was Lao Liu, who was holding a stick in his hand and running as fast as he could without even looking back. There were two bandits trying to catch up with him, but they failed and returned back disappointed.
"Nowhere for you guys to run! Kill them all!" The leader of the bandits looked at them combatively with an angry face.
Although Guard Wang and the others rushed to the butler and Stone immediately, Stone was still cut on the shoulder in the confusion.
The four of them were outnumbered, not to mention protecting two people who didn’t know Kung Fu.
The situation at that moment was getting worse.
Just when they were getting desperate, a group of people rushed out from the other side of the mountain path. Never had they expected that there would be another living soul traveling in such a terrible weather. They heard the tramp of hooves, rapid but orderly.
There must be a lot of people coming.
Guard Wang and the others looked back in surprise.
In the growing rain, a team of horses rushed from the other side of the road. The men on the horse were all dressed in gray and black suits, looking very imposing.
Thank You for Saving Our Lives

[Best Fantasy Story Winner at Wattpad Fiction Awards 2016] ? Adventure ? Mystery ? Humor ? Romance ? Systematic, almost scientific Magic ? Strategy in Fights ? Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad

8 219The New Zeitgeist
Awana was the ruler of the sky, the God of clouds and weather before almost all of his power and divinity were stripped away and his body forced into an unending slumber. It was not until millenniums later when a tribe of elves who worshipped him in the ancient past awoke him. He was awakened into a new era where ten gods who also stripped away the divinity from other gods like him abuse their powers. They ruled the world with tyranny; only keeping some kingdoms and mortals who worship them safe while marginalizing others. As it turned out, Awana still has a sliver of his previous powers. Now filled with thoughts of anger and revenge, he plans to create a kingdom of heretics cast away by the gods, revive other fallen gods like him to join forces, and finally kill all of the ruling gods. Kingdom Building (a Floating kingdom in the skies and a diverse population) Author's Note: Grammar might be messy. Yes, I am a non-native speaker but I'm not trying to use that as an excuse. I am going to try to improve. Also, I am currently in University so there are times where I might be gone for an extended period of time and other times where I am quite free and able to write chapters.
