"Why did you guys all raise your finger?" Ron asked Erza. "Well, its kind of like our . . . Well, we do that to show that we support each other and that we have each other's backs." Erza smiled fondly at her memories (happy ones).
"Wow . . ." That was way deeper than he thought it would be. It looked so childish to him at first, but hearing why they did it made him have a new unspoken respect for it.

"Guys! They're here!" Levy yelled. Then, as if on que, a giant attack of magic flew through the doors and broke the wall. Thankfully, no one got hurt, everyone was able to dodge it. "That was close." Everyone ignored that statement and focused all of their attention onto the area where the attack came from.
Walking through it were death eaters — only four, but still enough to do a lot of damage. Seeing the enemy clearly, they all readied themselves for a fight. They trained some different strategies to use on them, just in case. At this time, they were thankful that they learned it, otherwise, they would be clueless about what to o now.
"Now!" Someone from the Ravenclaw house yelled wile pointing a finger. Some others nodded and ran somewhere. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" Hermione yelled to those who mastered mixing their magic together. They stood beside each other in pais and prepared to attack. They looked at each other as if silently saying, 'ready?' Before launching the attack.
With the ten pairs that attacked, most of them missed, since they were aiming randomly instead of finding a specific target to attack. They repeated this process over and over again. All the houses were fighting with everything they've learned, the Ravenclaw's telling them where to go from a distance.

The team that always seems to blow up villages, however, weren't part f the fighting with the death eaters. Since the four that were originally sent were defeated, Voldemort and Zeref sent all of the death eaters to fight them. Team Natsu was busy searching for the cause of the problem; Zeref and Voldemort.

When they finally fond them, they were out of breath and their stamina was running out. It was a long run that they sprinted and thy were still human, they needed to rest. When they finally found them however, it felt like their stamina had suddenly replenished itself, adrenaline was coursing through their veins and made them for energetic than ever.
Natsu was the first to move against Zeref, him being the only one who wouldn't die around him. He dove straight in, trying to land a punch on the black wizards chest. At the very last minute, Zeref dodge and side-stepped away from him, chopping is neck in the process, making him fall flat o the ground.
Natsu just tched in response and stood right back up. This time, he tried landing a kick on Zeref's face. He dodges again and as soon as he did, Natsu followed his movements and changed the trajectory of his movements and flipped mid-air, controlling the way he landed by positioning himself right above his brother.
When he was barely an inch away from him and the tips of his hair was about to be cut off, Zeref grabbed Natsu's leg and flipped him multiple times and through him into a wall. That wall crushed under the pressure and Natsu ended up underneath all of it.
Th other four that were fighting Voldemort weren't having much luck either. Every attack they tried would just get dodged or blocked by magic. "Ice make: Hammer!" Gray yelled in his usual stance, and built a hammer easily the size of himself and positioned it right above Voldemort. Before it hit, Voldemort used a very powerful fire magic and destroyed it.

He the used another powerful spell and pushed the four of them to the ground. When they tried attacking again, he simply attacked wth something even more powerful. Lucy, Wendy, Ezra and Gray wee all bleeding and definitely ha lots of bruises. They were at the brink of exhaustion and they could barley get off the ground. Natsu was no different, he was just as beaten — if not worse — and all the the fives' adrenaline was nearly run out.
"Just give up." Zeref taunted. "What's the point in fighting us anyways, you know you're going to lose anyways, so why put up the fighting?" The two villains asked at the same time, even though they were on different sides of the castle. "Why . . .?" Wendy grinned. She slowly stood up, clutching her stomach, the others slowly following suite. "Well that's easy," Natsu said.
"We fight for our friends!" Memories came like waves, invading their brain with all the happy, sad and energetic moments with everyone, on Earthland and on Earth. "And we refuse to lose," gray said. "Because, if we lose here and now, then that endangers the lives of our fiends," Lucy continued. "And don't get us wrong, we didn't come here just to die. Because, we, the mages of fairy tail don't die for our friends, we liv for them!"
Immediately, a surge of energy burst through all of them and they could keep up, and attack different attacks that would land. Their movements were faster and blurs were the only way to see them. "Even if you kill me, I won't die,"Voldemort smiled.
"I doubt that," harry said, coming up to the field they were battling on, also bruised and bleeding. "I — we've, killed all of them." He didn't believe that he needed to elaborate on what he was talking about, Voldemort knew exactly what he was talking about. "Wait, that means . . ." His voice trailed off as he realized that he was dying, all the pieces that he embedded his soul into were destroyed, making him die too.
"One down," Gray muttered under his breath. Natsu was still engaged in battle, but this time, when they looked at him fighting,he had the rest of their guild backing him up. "H — How are you not dying by being near me?!" Zeref exclaimed. "Because of me,"their first master, Mavis Vermilion came walking out.
Zeref, who was now too caught up in processing everything didn't realize that he was losing, when he finally did, he screamed, "this isn't over!" And retreated back to Earthland.
"I — its over!" Natsu cheered, his usual goofy smile returning. Everyone just giggled in response while they all that one, big group hug, their smiles never leaving their faces.

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.
8 300Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
8 129Sovereign Immortal (Technically not cancelled?)
New Summary: (Old Summary is below this one) Test Image: I'll make a revised one as soon as possible In the Realm of Immortals, there are two paths to become a Sovereign, both equivalent in strength. To follow the Body, becoming a Supreme Martial Sovereign, boldly refining the Body with Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and daring to face the Five Elements! To be an Unparalleled Lord of the Grand Firmament, unfettered from the restrictions of Heaven, countless people follow this path. Another to follow the Soul, becoming a Grand Spirit Sovereign, Nourishing the Soul with Yin and Yang and wielding the five elements on the fingertips of their own! To be an Incomparable Sage of the Everlasting Heavens, wielding the Laws of the Universe as their own, countless others follow this path. Yet since Ancient Times and bygone Era's, have there not been three paths? A Path which made the other two paths a lesser path? Suppressed all cardinal directions and made even the Ancient Undyings flee in terror and hide! Faded into obscurity and lost by thought, Ancient Undyings remember not the name for they are too young, even Immortals of the Oldest Era only remember it as a childhood legend. Without the Path, the Immortal Realm faces great danger without a True Leader to claim it's leadership and the inhabitants fight each other daily and countlessly all for the sake of becoming a Lesser Sovereign! As two Ancient Undyings face each other, a rift in space is made and falling down is an Entity beyond that of the Immortal Realm, causing waves in the Immortal Realm. The Entity falls down and down from the Realm Above, to the Immortal Realm below and eventually to the Mortal World..... As this happens, a young boy in the Mortal World looks to the stars and sees upon a falling meteor and chases it... The path of a Sovereign Immortal? A True Sovereign? Who in the generation can achieve it when the Rift has caused a change in the Realm, reopening the path? Old Summary: In the Realm of Immortals, there are two paths to become a Sovereign, both equivalent in strength. One follows the Body to become a Supreme Martial Sovereign. Refining their bodies with thunder and daring to go against the five elements. Another follows the Soul to become a Grand Spirit Sovereign. Nourishing their souls with Yin and Yang and holding the power of the five elements. Yet since Ancient Times have there not been three paths? The path of cultivating both the Body and Soul to become an Immortal Sovereign. But as time has passed, who remembers such a path? Faded into obscurity and lost in thought it is but a small dream to those Ancient Immortals remembering such tales in their youth. As the Path is forgotten, The Immortal Realm is in Chaos without it's Sovereign, The Realm inhabitants fight each other daily merely for the sake of a little more power or hope in becoming a Sovereign. But the True Threat doesn't lay with the Chaos within but rather the Chaos outside as foes from other Realms come to conquer them. Yet in all this Chaos, in a World of Mortals lies a young Mortal boy chasing a "meteor" an event which in time would shake waves and cause quakes in the Realm of Immortals.
8 137The Swimming Pool from Another Freaking Dimension
When the world’s on fire and your garden sprinkler is not going to cut it, there’s only one thing to do: just dig. But the town’s hillbillies are laughing behind your back and your so-called mates are laying bets on you burying yourself alive and venomous spiders are breeding in your 3D printer and those fires are inching closer every freaking day. Just dig, baby. Stranded in a mountaintop suburb monitored by military drones and plagued by wildlife and weather gone crazy, Dezzy and his teenaged neighbour, Sonia, are just trying to save their homes from the next megafires – by digging the biggest, deepest, most badass swimming pool possible. A chlorinated moat at the edge of their derelict suburb that might also provide a refreshing dip in between raging infernos. Only they dig up more than they bargained for, a hell of a lot more. Never mind the secret military base, the burn-scarred locals and their Truth Church, or those birds attacking people out of the blue, because Dezzy and Sonia have bigger things to worry about, things perhaps not of this freaking near-future reality.
