《SYNCH : the contract formation》Chapter 4
Advertisement
In 5 weeks will begins the training, each year everyone between 15 and 21 years must participate in the training to learn how to control their powers. The first 3 years of training are entirely theoretical and last only 3 months per year, but the last 3 are years of practice and usually last 10 months per year.
It is illegal to use your powers to work without completing fully the practical training or in public spaces without the supervision of a person who has obtained a validation pass at the end of training.
Everyone at the age of 18 must therefore participate in the practical training that is done in specialized camp, no one has the right to use his powers in public spaces until they have finished at least the first year of practice training, even if they are under the supervision of a person with a pass.
This year it was Lily and Tony's turn to start their first year of practical training, they will leave for 10 months to one of the specialized camps of the region. Lily being a Class A healer and Tony a Class B magician, they were both considered prodigies and were recruited by one of the best camps in the state 'Zion' during their first year of practical training.
Being defective, Iris still had to participate in the theoretical training, but this year she was removed from the program for practical training being considered unfit for it.
Lily, Tony and iris finally made their way to the bus, after their supervisor had confirmed that their authorizations were signed. Iris sat by the window and Lily took the seat next to her, telling Tony to take the one behind her.
5 minutes later, the supervisor and his assistant joined them on the bus, they made sure that the class was in complete and then reported the departure to the driver.

After an hour and a half on the road, the bus arrived at the museum of rock where was exposed 'Lucy', it was the name of the stone of origin exhibited in Sindara. It was the third stone of origin discovered in the world. The bus crossed the first control barrier before arriving at a huge open parking, half full of several other buses and groups of people of all ages. Their bus parked and the supervisor got up to give some instructions.
"In a few minutes we will distribute you cards with a description of the stone 'Lucy' its origin and also the restrictions and rules to follow inside the museum, which you will have to read fully before entering the museum. Are we clear ?"
"Yes, sir" answered the students.
"Okay, everyone let's go"
Iris got off the bus and took the card distributed by the security service before heading to the entrance of the museum with her class. 'Strange' she thought, since getting off the bus, she felt like she had been covered by something she couldn't really describe. It was not uncomfortable but also not particularly pleasant.
"Do you feel that, Lily ?" asked Iris.
"What?"
"I don't know, like something around you."
"No, are you okay if you don't feel well I can tell the supervisor."
"No it's fine, it's probably fatigue"
"You're sure"
"Yes it's nothing, let's go"
It was finally her class's turn to enter the museum after 30 minutes waiting. From the outside, the museum looked like a normal modern building, similar to every other building in Sindara or rather to every other skyscraper, but the interior seemed to come straight out of a futuristic movie of the last millennium with its walls entirely white, the overpowering presence of glass, and the monotonous grey uniform of all the employees accentuating even more the sci-fi universe of the end of the 20th century movies that this place was giving.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
