BAM.....BAM...BAM,BAM, levant let loose a flurry of bullets at the unknown person behind polaris, the bullets rocketed towards him but before they could hit him, he disappeared causing the bullets to hit the tree behind him,
He reappeared behind levant placing his hand on Levant's shoulder,
"Is this how your country greets it's guess", the stranger said,
Levant, frozen from the shock of his bullets being dodged, couldn't react to what this unknown man said,
"If that's the case allow me to greet you also", the stranger expressed,
He rapidly twisted his body, throwing a kick at levant, but before he could land the blow, his leg become frozen,
"Ohh, that's interesting", the stranger commented,
This caused levant to snap out of his trance, causing him to jump away from the stranger, now levant was slightly pissed and he directed it towards this unknown person,
“Pol I’ll cover you let kill this asshole”, Levant shouted,
“say less”, Polaris responded, placing himself in front of Levant,
The stranger stomped their foot on the ground, shattering the ice that encased it, launching himself directly at levant, but Polaris quickly stepped between, his sword swinging straight for the strangers neck,
but before he could connect, the stranger jumped into the air above Polaris’ sword, propelling himself off of Polaris’ blade pushing himself over Polaris and directly towards Levant, swinging his leg downwards towards Levants head,
flames erupted from levants hands, launching himself high into the air, charging an attack from his guns at the unknown person,
"BLOOD MON BULL….What the fuc.....", levant started to say,
"Fire....and it's quite powerful, it needs some refining though", the stranger stated to levant,
Levant jerked his body in mid air, twisting himself to face his opponent, who was now above him, his face immediately turning pale at the sight in front of him, as he sensed an extremely similar feeling,

“ no wonder it felt familiar……YOU”RE BLESSED WITH FLAMES”, levant shouted
And what he saw was the unknown person's feet enveloped in flames, very familiar flames,
The unknown person front flipped his body extending his foot,.......then BOOMM, an explosion in the sky happened, the unknown opponent landing a kick in levants stomach, fire erupting from their foot upon impact,
the kick sent levant rocketing towards the ground, causing rings of air to form in the sky as he sped towards the earth,
A loud thunderous sound was heard and felt, as many birds flew out from within the trees, levant hit the ground, Polaris looked on in horror as levant's unconscious body sank into the ground causing a huge crater, the impact was so great it caused one of levant's guns to fly past polaris, and into the forest,
Polaris could not fathom what unfolded in front of him, his brain not processing the information,
"Don’t feel bad you're next", the stranger said, appearing behind the visibly shaken Polaris,
“ARRGGGGHHH”, Polaris shouted at the top of his lungs,
Polaris didn't waste a breath, he drew his sword once more and swung behind him, but he hit nothing but air, he looked behind him, the stranger was crouched down with his with his hand pushed out towards polaris, then fire erupted from it, engulfing Polaris within flames,
"That fire is way to low in heat to hurt me", polaris thought to himself, throwing his body backwards to escape the stream of flames,
Just then the stranger appeared in front of polaris, which caught him off guard, Polaris put up his sword and began to spin, which caused ice to shoot off of him in multiple directions,
The stranger stopped in his tracks, erecting a wall of flames to protect himself, Polaris used this and blitzed behind him, striking at the back of his neck, but the stranger turned around, sending his fist towards Polaris’ incoming blade, pushing a large burst of fire from his hands just before the sword hit his hand, knocking the sword out of polaris' hand and sending it into a nearby tree,

as he swept poolaris’ legs from under him, He held polaris by his face, pushing him Into the ground and pinning him,
"Hmmm.....this is also interesting, let's see what I can do with this power hmmm", the stranger said smiling wickedly,
Polaris could feel a strange sensation, it felt as though his blessing, atleast part of it was leaving his body, almost akin to having a part of his actual body ripped off,
He let out a scream, his body shaking and squirming violently against, the stranger, his screams muffled by the strangers hand, he could feel his body growing weaker and weaker by the moment, his eyes began to roll to the back of his head, as he began to fade into his unconsciousness, he slammed his hand onto the ground in desperation,
Multiple ice spikes shot from within the ground, all aiming for the stranger, flames erupted, as the stranger propelled himself upwards to avoid the ice spikes,
Polaris rolled over, coughing and gasping for air, his vision coming back to him as he focused once more on the person in front of him,
“you, you are more dangerous than I thought” polaris said, getting up off of the ground, wiping his hand over his mouth,
“and you are more resilient than I thought”, the stranger said,
“what did you do to me just now ?”, Polaris said
“well wouldn’t you like to know”, the stranger said,
“FINE THEN I’LL MAKE YOU TALK”, Polaris said, stretching both of his hands into the air, and forming multiple spears of ice, all differing in thickness and length, he brought his hands forward launching them towards his opponent,
“Now that’s more like it”, the stranger said, as he began to run, jumping up and down, bobbing and weaving through, the spears of ice that were being launched at him, he began to circle Polaris, getting closer and closer to him,
He, jetted a continuous stream of flames towards Polaris, melting majority of the incoming ice, Polaris was met with a sea of flames at the end of his volley of attacks, the stranger jumped through the wall of flames, his hand reared back, aiming at Polars,
“you’re mine, Polaris”, Polaris said, launching spear of ice towards his opponent, aiming for his shoulder, however his opponent noticed, catching the spear, spinning in the air, due to the attacks momentum, and sending the attack straight back towards Polaris,
Polaris turned the ice spear, into water, causing the water to fall onto him, as his opponent landed, a pillar of ice shot out of the ground, sinking into Polaris’ stomach and rocketing him in the air, the stranger launched him self into the air, approaching Polaris at blinding speeds, he landed a punch to polaris’ stomach, fire erupting from his fist on impact, launching Polaris, far way from him

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.
8 166The Economics of Emotion

8 149Et Non Lucem
A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!
8 66The Traveling Dungeon
Dale had finally started to get a hold of his existence as a dungeon core. His dungeon was working, the challenges were popular, he had a large swath of texts on magic to work through, and his core was as protected as he could reasonably make it. Everything should have been perfect. Then he reached a tad too far, grabbed ahold of a new skill for the manipulation of Essence and so began his ascension to godhood! Which was a nice way of saying his soul was sucked through space, torn and shredded, and shoved into a conceptual body.ie, he appeared in the Hall of the Gods suddenly. Without clothing.This would have been simply an amusing anecdote if he wasn't then instantly yanked out of the Hall of the Gods by a person who appeared to be cos-playing a cross between a plumber and accountant. Oh, and he had a grip like iron and could freeze the other gods at will. A small detail, but a concerning one.Now Dale is forced to deal with being a God, a Dungeon Core, and act as the lynchpin in a divine universe jailbreak attempt.Oh, and of course, the Gods still have all the drama that you would expect. Naturally.
