Reaching the barrier that was bathed in green bug ooze, Nikos raised his head over it, behind it was a group of 10 people that was being led by a man dressed in a military uniform, but that wasn’t the think jumping out from him, it was the two handed long sword in his side.
Gianni’s asked then he smiled and said but Nikos couldn’t understand why Gianni’s wasn’t even a tiny bit worried about the man with the sword.
said the male in the military uniform while pointing in his sword.
The group of people following him where a random arrangement of people from all the walks of life, more exact from age of 30 to 8 years old, unarmed with no baggage that most people that come to them always had. Getting all the people up to the barrier Nikos leads them to the supermarket where the cooking group where located. some people had started eating, they had some pieces of steak that were between burned and rare on the side they had a piece of bread and that was placed on a flimsy plastic plate. The group was still cooking the second portion of meat that Nikos had made them cook. looking around he sees that people didn’t have anywhere to sit and most of them were sitting under trees and using the ground as a table, looking back at the new people he says they were wary but with a bit of push, they started eating. Looking around Nikos saw people eating with a lighter mood some face where brighter than they were this morning, all the guards from the first shift were awake and talking to each other of how shitty their night was, while some people from the building group laid on the grass not able to lift their arms, but the thing that brightens the atmosphere more was the kid playing tag making you almost forget the dire situation that was present. But he didn’t have enough time to relax, after the break he took to check his wounds, now he had to give them water and he had to be careful of how to do it, he got some plastic cups and filled them with water giving only one cup every person so the water not be wasted , some asked for second but he had to deny them us kindle us he could but they were still disappointed.

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
