《The Magic Kings War》Into the underworld final part.
Advertisement
Magic Training Arc.
Valoran now stands in front of the multicoloured flames.
Valoran sees an endless ocean of rainbow coloured flames.
"These flames are known by the name Hell-Fire." - Artemesia explained.
"I see" - Valoran replied.
"These flames are so powerful that the time stop does not affect them. They burn away the fundamentals of everything for example the fundamentals of the time stop itself.
These flames are so powerful that they burn everything. Immortality, Magic, Abstract beings and powers and even Fundamentals. Indestructible and any Resistances have no meaning"-Artemesia explained.
"What your saying is that these flames have infinite power. That's why you believe forging my sword here using the red metal ore which can absorb some of the flames would make this the perfect scenario" - Valoran said.
"Yes. These flames are beyond infinite power. I was able to absorb a tiny portion of those flames and felt my power rising beyond limits." - Artemesia said.
"They are also fused with infinite amounts of holy magic. This can also be useful when facing off against beings who are vulnerable to holy magic." - Artemesia explained.
"Wait. You said that the red metal was beyond just being indestructible. How could I melt it to forge my sword?" - Valoran asked.
"You see the metal has a consciousness. The moment you pulled out the red giant metal ore from the ground it accepted you as its property in a way. This means if you want it to become weak it will become weak. If you want it to become beyond indestructible it will become beyond indestructible."-Artemesia explained.
"I understand. Well then let us begin." - Valoran said.
Valoran uses creation magic to create a forging table and a hammer to forge his sword with.
He then breaks off a piece of the giant ore and starts to forge his sword.
He then uses telekinesis to lift the metal ore to vaporize all the rocks that surround the actual metal.
"What a beautiful colour" - Artemsia said.
"Indeed it is" - Valoran replied.
As the rocks got vaporized the metal begins to melt.
As the metal melts it turns into a red metal liquid.
He then pours the red metal liquid into a sword shape cut out.
He then uses water magic to cool off the metal.
"Now the sword has a shape but it is unrefined" - Valoran said.
He then takes the hammer and shapes the sword just a little more according to his liking.

As he hammering at the sword Artemesia asks Valoran something.
"Valoran. With all your power do you fear anyone?"
Valoran is a little startled by that odd question but he answers her anyway.
"I don't fear anyone if that is what you mean. I do fear that one day I will kill everyone by accident.
You see I suppress my power to the absolute maximum reaching close to 0. If I don't I lose control and could kill all my friends and my mother and the entire world just by going a little over what I am currently using"-Valoran said with a little sad voice.
"Friends. What is it like to have friends?" - Artemesia asked.
"It's beautiful. You get to laugh. Train. Spend time together and they support you no matter what. I would do anything to protect them. " - Valoran said with a smile.
As Artemesia hears all this a single tear is streaming down her face.
"That does sound beautiful. I never had any friends." - She said with a sad voice.
"Valoran would you want to become my first friend?" - She asked with a smile.
"Of course. I am glad to have another friend" - Valoran replied with a smile.
"I am so happy to have a friend" - Artemesia replied with a big smile.
"I am glad to hear that" - Valoran replied with a smile.
"I am sorry for hurting you earlier. I should not have stapped you threw the chest when you entered here" - Artemesia said with sincerity.
"It's fine. The truth is I let you stab me. Normally when any weapon or physical attack comes near me my body either phases threw the attack like a spirit or ghost, or my body becomes so hard that it destroys the weapon that tries to injure me. When I am really mad I vaporize the object into nothingness.
Letting you stab me was the best way to calm you down.
Besides even destroying all my organs wouldn't affect me in the slightest. "-Valoran said with a smile.
" I am glad you can forgive me"-Artemesia replied.
Finally, after hours of hammering and refining the sword, he has completed the process.
He is now holding a pure crimson red blade.
"You should give it a name." - Artemesia replied.
"Uhmm how about.... Disaster.?" - Valoran asked.
"Why call it that? - Artemesia replied.
"Because I will bring disaster, destruction, and death to anyone foolish enough to stand in my way. Especially the Gods will soon taste this blade. "-Valoran replied.

"It is your blade to name" - Artemesia replied.
"I store the rest of the metal in a different dimension. Could be useful later on." - Valoran said.
"That would be wise" - Artemesia replied.
With that Valoran opens up a portal and transports the red metal to a different dimension.
"Valoran I have one more gift for you." - "Artemesia said.
" What is it? "-Valoran replied.
"Absorb the hellfire. With your power, you can handle it beyond infinite power. This way you can use that power to balance and control your power better." - "Artemesia said.
"This fire also further shields you from any attack. Such as Magic, abstract powers, physical attacks and the power to nullify any resistances and nullifications. It also increases your already beyond infinite immortality." - Artemesia explained.
"But if I do absorb the hellfire won't it become utter darkness since you can't use magic here? If you were to use fire magic the flames won't burn since they will be frozen in time the second you tried too?" - Valoran asked.
"It will. But it's fine. I have spent billions and billions of years here. I don't mind. Please you said you are scared of accidentally killing everyone with your power. This will help you not to do it. As a friend I am begging you" - Artemesia said.
"Alright" - Valoran replied.
With that Valoran opened up his fragment and started to absorb the entire hellfire.
"This is a lot of power" - Valoran said as he continues to absorb the hellfire into his fragment at a very fast pace.
After a while, the flames become less and less.
"Keep going. " -Artemsia said.
More and more flames disappear into Valoran's fragment.
"Almost done. " - Said Artemsia.
And finally, the underworld becomes completely dark due to Valoran absorbing all the hellfire which was the only light source.
Until Valoran begins to Illuminate in different colours as hell flames envelop Valoran's body.
" You did"-Artemsia said.
"Your right I have more control over my power and I can suppress them a little further to gain better control." - Valoran said.
Both Artemsia and Valoran make their way back to the gate.
"You do realise that when I go through that gate everything will become dark." - Valoran said to Artemsia.
"It's fine. The curse kept me here for so long I don't mind" - Artemsia replied.
"Will you come to visit me? Since we are friends." - Artemsia asked with a smile and tears in her eyes.
"No." - Valoran replied.
Artemsia lowers her head in sadness and misery over Valoran's answer.
"I understand. You hate the Gods and I am one of them-" - Artemisia gets interrupted.
"I don't need to visit you when you are coming with me of course." - Valoran said with a smile.
"Impossible. I am destined to be kept here for all eternity. Thanks to the curse" - Artemisia said.
"Impossible does not exist in my vocabulary. I choose my own destiny I can change yours. I can lift the curse. We will also take all those people who are frozen in time." - Valoran said.
"You mean it I can be free?" - Artemisia asked shocked.
"Yes."-Valoran replied.
Valoran then races his arm and incases every person inside a magic bubble and lifts them up to leave the underworld.
" Let's go." - Valoran replied.
He destroys the curse that binds Artemsia to the underworld with a single eye gaze.
"Alright the curse has been destroyed." - Valoran said.
He opens the gate with his magic.
They walk through the gate and.....
"Open your eyes..." - Valoran said to Artemsia.
Artemisia slowly opens her eyes and she cannot believe it.
"It is really the other side," Artemsia said and starts to cry for joy.
"It is. Let's get out of this dungeon." - Valoran said.
Valoran casts teleportation magic and both Valoran and Artemsia as well as all the people are transported back to the surface.
"Alright I'll leave them here." - Valoran said.
Valoran casts healing magic to return some strength to the people.
He then notices Artemsia standing on a hill further away.
He walks up to her.
She can see the entire kingdom of Halivaara and the beautiful blue sky and flowers blooming.
"Thank you for freeing me." - Artemsia said.
"Thank you for being my friend" - Valoran said.
"It's so beautiful" - Artemsia said.
"What will you do?" - Valoran asked.
"I hoped I can stay with you? I am tired of being alone" - Artemsia asked.
"I am sure mother would be fine with that" - Valoran said.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them. Arc 1 * Chapters 1-14: Each released one day and an hour later than the previous. Starting with chapter 2 at 09:20 UTC+2 on day 1, and finishing at 21:20 UTC+2 on day 13.

No hiatus will be done between arcs 1 and 2.
