Sora: Stand down, Peyton, if you know what's good for you. Peyton: What?! Sora: A person like you should know their place. Peyton: What the heck is your problem?! I thought Deshon was our friend!? Justin: Are we friends, Sora? Sora: Yes, Justin, we are. Justin: Then let her save Deshon! Do me a solid and save our friend. Sora: Do you really think I would call someone like Deshon my friend?! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind being friends with lower-skilled mages. There's no shame in being weak but staying weak is. Peyton: So there's no way to change your mind?! Sora: Nope. Peyton: All right then. I guess we're fighting. Shorty: Can a nigga jump in? Sora: I will handle this bitch.
Peyton: What?! Sora: I didn't stutter. I'm not going to repeat myself for some black bitch. Peyton tossed her red glasses to the side. Her calm expression was replaced by an agitated one. Peyton: Water Magic: Water Bo Staff! She put two hands forward, and a bo staff made of water appeared in her hands. She points her staff at me. Peyton: You're making a huge mistake! Shorty: Kane, this is about to be entertaining. Kane: Agreed. Kane and Shorty had a seat on the STP, and right in front of them stood Deshon.
Sora: After, I kill you. I will kill that guy. What was his name? Oh, yeah! Nicholas Lotton, right?! Unlike my fight with Ji, I will enjoy killing him this time; I will kill Nicholas. Peyton grinded her teeth, and her veins began to pop. She rushed at me, and Peyton used her bo staff to strike me on the head. I grabbed her bo staff, then I set my hand ablaze. Her bo staff evaporated. Peyton took a step back and summoned another water bo staff. Then she ran forward to me, and she tried to strike me on the neck this time. But I grabbed her bo staff out of her hands. She stumbled back, and I grabbed her throat, and I lifted her up from the ground with one hand. I lifted up one finger from her neck and surrounded it with a nebula brown aura around it. Then I place my finger back on her throat. Peyton: Water Magic: Hydro Bomb! Peyton began kicking up her legs in the air. She gasped for air while she tried to speak.
Sora: Are you scared?! Peyton: I can't use my magic! Why?! Sora: Perhaps you fear me. Peyton: Water Magic: Tyrant Hydro Bomb! Peyton began panicking; she began to kick faster in the air. And she tries to remove my grip from her throat. Sora: I told you to fear me. But I'm not done with you yet. I dropped her. She fell on her knees and started rapidly gasping for her. I grabbed both wrists, and I tossed Peyton on her back. Then I put my left hand on her stomach. Peyton started groaning in pain.
Sora: Peyton, I have a condition. If you can get up, I will allow you to save Deshon. Peyton tried to remove my foot from my abdomen, but it was to no avail. Sora: Just give up and die. Peyton: I can't feel my mana! Sora: Finally, it's finished. I severed all of your mana nerves and stopped your mana heart. A mage that can't use magic needs to be put down.
Peyton: You're the devil! How could someone ever love you!? Sora: Awe, that's cute! You are more pathetic than Deshon right now. Look at yourself. At least Deshon can use magic. I started laughing maniacally. Peyton: Deshon, hang in there; I will save you! Zoey! Help me! Zoey dropped down from the skybox and jogged towards Peyton with a disgusted expression on her.

Zoey: What do you want?! I'm enjoying the fantastic food that Sora made. Peyton: Hello, can you get Sora off me?! Zoey: Why should I listen to a mage that can't use magic?! Peyton: What?! What are you saying?! Zoey: There's no room for the weak in the Maina squad. Peyton: Just help your bestie in need!
Zoey: Excuse me!? I'm not your bestie bitch. Only the strong can be my friend. Sora, you want me to kill her? We can't have someone useless in the Maina squad. Sora: I will kill her myself. Are you going to save Deshon? Zoey: Saving him is beneath me. He's not worth the effort. Deshon: Zoey...please save...Peyton. None of this would've happened if I had just stayed in the skybox.
Zoey: So, it's your fault that a member of the Maina squad is useless right now. You deserve to die like the piece of shit you are! Peyton started crying; she kept banging on my leg. Peyton: Please tell me you're joking?! Zoey: Let this be my answer. Zoey created a throwing knife made of ice. And flung it at Peyton's head, but it's just missed her by a couple of inches. Zoey crouched down to Peyton. And she reached for her neck and snatched Peyton's dog tags away from her. Zoey: Caio, regular! Zoey jumped in the air, and she landed on a small ice platform that appeared out of nowhere, and it took her to the skybox and disappeared. She'd vaulted over the railing and looked back at Peyton. And began laughing.
Sora: Even your own bestie abandoned you. Don't worry, I'll send you with the rest of your dead friends. Peyton: Maina!!! I need you here!!! Peyton screamed to the top of her lungs. Sora: All right, now you're annoying me. I heard this from someone. I forget where. But here is how it goes. Silence is a woman's best garment. I turned my hand into ice and covered Peyton's mouth. And a thick sheet of ice blocked her mouth. Sora: Ahh, that's so much better. Shorty: Kane, I like this nigga right here. You and Sora need to join the Renegades. I know you're a freelancer. Kane: If your group can complete some of yall goals, I will join. Shorty: Sora, we will be honored if you join us. Sora: Sounds interesting. What's this Renegade group about? Shorty: Our goal is to destroy the WMA. And then establish our own central government that will overtake this world. Sora: Sounds interesting. You guys will probably kill most mages, if not all, and keep the regulars as slaves and livestock.
Shorty: How did you know?! Sora: If you have a person from Estella and another person from Eden, you are probably working with ghouls as well. It's just an educated guess. Shorty: Will you join? Sora: I'll answer that once I kill this magic-less bitch. Oh, I see you're furious! Ice Magic: Frost Paralysis. I reached down and touched Peyton's face while my hands were covered in ice. I took my foot off her and picked Peyton up by her throat, and I placed her in front of Shorty and Kane, and I summoned ice clones to hold her. And I instructed them to put Peyton on her knees and hold her. Next, I snapped my fingers and the thick sheet of ice that blocked her mouth. The sheet of ice fell to the ground and shattered.

Sora: Any last words?! Peyton: Maina won't allow you to get away with this! Sora: Oh, I think you forgot your place. Maina won't do anything to me; I think she would rather have her son she hasn't seen in eight years than have someone like you. We have certain responsibilities. Peyton: You're worse than scum letting your friend die! What would happen if Sophia was in the same position!? She broke the code. Would you allow her to be tortured and humiliated like this?!

Sora: My mistress wouldn't be in that situation. Peyton: But what if she was? Sora: Do you think I would allow anyone to lay a finger on her?! Peyton: Hypocrite! Sora: Peyton, I would kill my own mother for her. Justin: How sick in the head are you?! Peyton: What he said! Sora: It's simply what we are! We aren't heroes; we are warriors. Don't ever forget that!
Justin: Come on, man, let me save him! Or at least let Peyton go! Sora: I can't allow you to interfere. Justin: I won't let you get away with this! I simply won't stand for this?! My honor won't allow me to sit back and do anything! Sora: Take a step forward, and you will be killed without any hesitation! Justin: At least I can give Peyton a chance. Sora: You don't know what you're saying. Don't waste your life. I can kill you without even moving. Justin unsheathes his blade. Sora: Don't try it! I don't want to kill you! Peyton: Justin, stay put. When this is all over, remind him what he did. Justin: All right. Have one more thing to say to you. Sora: What is it? Justin: You look like a calm and reasonable person? But are you a calm and reasonable person?! Sora: Ask me later. Peyton, are you done?
Peyton: Let's get this over with. I'll take some pride in that it took Maina's son to kill me. Sora: Yes, take some solace in your death. I will honor you by giving you one of my most potent spells. I began laughing and then ready my blade. Sora: Crimson Fire Magic: Hestia's War Flame. I touched my blade, and a more colorful crimson flame combusted around the blade. After a few seconds went by, my blade completely turned crimson. Peyton smiles as she tears up. When she looks at my blade. I took a couple of steps back, and then I sprinted and jumped at Peyton. I had my blade ready to strike her in a vertical position. Shorty and Kane's eyes widen with joy. And before my blade touched Peyton, I changed blade direction. Instead of going with a vertical strike, I switched it to a horizontal strike.
When my blade was two inches away from Peyton's head. I slashed right above Peyton's head, and the crimson flames shot out the blade during my slashing motion. The flames got to Kane first, resulting in Kane's head getting cut clean off and his head falling right between his legs as it made a large dud sound. And for Shorty, he sustained burns on his torso, exposing his ribcage. Then the shot out flames let out a massive shockwave that sent them flying to the Northwest side of the stadium.
I quickly sheathed my katana, grabbed Peyton from my ice clones, and held her under my left arm. I sprinted to bloody battered Deshon with both his eyes swollen all to hell; I lifted up Deshon with three fingers of my right-handed fingers. I swiftly got to Justin by enhancing my speed with lightning. I lifted Justin by his space gray Twilight Tiger jacket collar with my right-hand pinky finger; next, I used wind magic to fly in the air. I flew quickly to the skybox patio and dropped everyone to the floor. I then took a knee right by everyone I picked up. I began to pant heavily.

Peyton: What the fudge was that?! Sora: Well, my plan to save everyone. Justin: You could've given us a heads up, asshole! Deshon: Thank you. Deshon murmured softly. Justin: So all that was an act?! Peyton, when did you realize he was pretending? Peyton: I didn't know anything! Justin: Oh, come on! You said your magic disappeared or you couldn't use magic anymore. Peyton: The strange part was that my magic was truly gone. Sora: I used anti-magic. When I touched your neck, I blocked all the flow of magic in your body and even took some. Peyton: What!? Why don't you do that every fight? Sora: Why make the game so boring? And plus, I'm defenseless while I use anti-magic. Justin: So you weren't going to let Deshon die? Sora: Nope, I just wanted him to get rough up a bit so he can learn a valuable lesson.
Peyton: You could've held back. Were you really trying to kill me?! I thought I was going to die when you were straggling me! Sora: I was holding back the majority of my strength! Sophia hops down from the barstool, comes to me, and gives a peck on the cheek. Sophia: You were; it's the same amount of force you put on my neck. Justin: Wait, what?! Sophia: Sky, Justin que mantenga su mente alejada de la negatividad! And do it this time, esta vez, amor! Sora: Por que?! Sophia: No me hagas enojar! Sora: Me amas? Sophia: Just do what I told you! Sora: Justin, keep your bleeping mind out of the gutter or something. Sofi, I didn't get the last part. Sophia: Sky, don't piss me off! Sora: You know it's difficult for me to understand you when you speed up your sentences at the very end. Sophia: Donne-moi ce foutu vin! Sora: All right. I snapped my fingers, and a gray bottle of white wine and a corkscrew appeared in my hand. And I opened up the bottle and gave it to Sophia.
Peyton: Girl, is it really the time to drink? Sophia: Si! Benson: Sora, get me my usual? I snapped my fingers, and orange can soda appeared in my hand and gave it to Benson. De'Niro: Now I'm wondering how you pull food and drinks out of thin air? Sora: Magic. Zoey: Don't be a donkey! Sora: Fine, I have created a domain inside my grimoire, and long story short, I have many things there. But the important thing is that I have a kitchen inside the domain. And I have a clone that will assist me with cooking and the rest of the stuff inside the domain. It's the same thing as pulling your weapon out of thin air. But with this, it has a prerequisite. It has to be something in the first fridge; I can just snap my fingers and take it out. De'Niro: Creating your own domain in your grimoire is only theory; it should be next to impossible.
Sophia: Oh, it is. Sora and I legit researched this for years. He stood up all night and showed me the equation of how he did it. Peyton: Zo, were you serious about all those things you said? Zoey: Nope, I knew what Sora was doing. I just played along. But you were magicless, and I was kinda scared. Justin: Did Sora go over a plan with any of y'all? Sophia: No. Benson: No. De'Niro: Nope. Julia: No. Valencia: Not a clue. Justin: But Sora, what are we doing about the warlock? And I don't think you killed Shorty; I think you knocked him out because he wasn't moving.
Sora: I think we should leave and go back to the crib or something, and I wanted to wait for Valdis. He's taking too long for his fight. I'm still low on mana. Peyton: So what was all that crap you talked to me about?! Sora: I was stalling out so I could recover just a bit of mana. Justin: So you were stalling? Sora: Just stalling. I had to make sure to sell it. I didn't want no one to figure me out. Justin: I think you were kind of sus back there. Sora: I was acting. Or was I?! I began playfully laughing. Justin: Are you that guy pal? Sora: Absolutely! A young light skin black teen opened the door, he has blonde dyed hair and dark brown eyes and he probably stands about five-eleven feet tall. He's wearing this crimson military outfit with this crimson phoenix on his chest pocket. Deshon: Ace, you're here! Brother, it's been a while, I'm glad that you're here! We need your help! Pops up from the ground and shocking walks up to Ace without limping. Deshon attempts to hug Ace but Ace grabs Deshon by the neck and raised him up with one hand and then drops him. Ace: I'm not your brother! And don't address me so casually! Know your place, Flowers! A weakling like you has no right to speak to me! Sora: Ace Worthington it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Ace: Sora Hestia, honestly I'm am a fan of yours. For you to know my name is a great honor. And we have lady Accordia here with us. I'm a big fan as well. Justin: Are we going to ignore he hurt Deshon when he's already hurt!?

The Unstoppable Ascension of Zu Mari, Time-Looper
Zu Mari will never be stopped! Zu Mari will ascend to the heavens! Zu Mari is a downtrodden cultivator without any hope of becoming powerful. OR SO HE THINKS! One day fate intervenes on his behalf to give him everything he'd ever dreamed of, ALL THE POWER HE SO RIGHTLY DESERVES! And then, finally, everything starts going his way. (Well... kind of.) [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] wooooo!! Let's do this! Just to clear up some misconceptions, this is not a parody and it is not a satire. Zu Mari does include over the top humor and exaggerations intended to amuse, but satire is a very specific thing which this is not. I certainly haven't read enough xianxia to properly satirize or parody them. It's just a silly project I'm writing for fun, with a meta story that makes me laugh. Expecting anything else will only end in disappointment.

Alpha King's Human (completed)
I looked out of the window. The huge window had bars on it. It was designed in a way only I could see outside world. That's what I could only do. I could never live there. Why? There were two huge arms wrapped around me like chains as I stared at the window blankly. "Mate, I can still feel your dislike towards me. Tell me, what should I do to gain your affection. I'll do everything you say or buy anything for you. I love you, mate. Name it"I stared at his wolf eyes filled with love which made my heart churn. I pressed my urge to puke and stared blankly at him."Free me" "I told you. I'll never leave you. How dare you think about going away mate. I'll fuck you so hard that you won't be able to step out of the bed. Then you'll carry my pups. Let's see how you'll deny my love" He growled angrily. In a minute. I was lying under him naked... Again.---
