《Potestera- Race for Power》Ch 11-The Seeier’s Note
Advertisement
In an unknown place a shadow moved swiftly from place to place. The Surroundings seemed to indicate that it was a room but no doors were to be found. Although dark and drab the room still had some sort of light that illuminated certain areas. Next to what appeared to be a worn table the shadow stops.
"Hihihihihihhehehehehahahaha.... what a wonderful day today is, sometimes these mortals sure know how to surprise me. It matters not, not much has changed in the end, my eye wasn't wrong, his path had already ended. Still I suppose i should show some pity to the pup. His life was pitiful indeed. But this pitiful creature has given me a very joyful present today. And in the end i'm not Soulless...."
An odd noise could be heard in the distance.
"There it is done, a Rankers death for you, Likus the Cursed and Blessed. Indeed it is as your fellow Mortals say Honor has been attained, at least in that he wont be forgotten, Jejejeje what a farce. Regardless! how wonderful!, finally you stupid arrogant prick. You're not as mysterious as you portrayed yourself to be, whichever "higher being" or "destiny" that sent you here, has sent nothing but a lamb into wolves. Compared to all your other kin your essence is trash. Nothing special, nothing but a poor mans soul or essence snatching power, your not even absorbing their complete essence. I taught there was more to you, more that you were hiding from me, but your nothing but a disappointment. Hahahah and even now your trash ability has been hindered and by none other than a former has been! Serves this Intruder right, let all of them be cursed to oblivion, how dare they come here to my world and hide secrets from me. Damn their patrons as well, the moment i find out their whereabouts ill send them a nice present."

The shadow moved from the table to a more obscure corner. Where the mysterious light shone, the top corner of a chair or even what could be called a throne could be seen.
"Very well Kinis you wan't to be the best ill give you a chance hehehe, indeed your ability isn't completely useless but can it rise to the challenge. Rank A- it shall be, since you technically did beat another B rank." "Hihihi the (-) cause im petty."
"My world and my champions aren't so easily trifled with. Lets see you take on those real challengers who will come for your head. Bullying low tier fools, and old ones at that, and thinking your so mighty. Your little parlor trick won't go far against real warriors. I dont know what world you came from, but you'll be the first meddling rat out of this whole new wave that I'll definitely squash. It wont be like the past, this time all of them will be under my thumb or buried underground. So called "War Sage". I'll show you what a true sage looks looks like. I' ve been too passive in the last few years lets stretch theses old eye muscles for a while."
A strange glow the shape of eyeballs appeared in the dark. the glow twitched back and forth at a rapid paste.
"Ahhh he seems promising, but lets add extra insurance before i set him loose hehehehe."
Lights shone throughout the room in complex and mysterious ways making the room more lively. Weird noises were heard throughout the enclave that would've terrified anyone that was around. Then a sigh was heard from the direction of the shadow.
"Perhaps I should broaden my horizons some more, it seems a storm is brewing again. Miserable Likus, indeed your future was bright to have caught his eye. But those damn dimensional traveling wretches, no worse than mortal beggars. There they lie in the outskirts of my world waiting for their chance. Vultures indeed, ill be damned if i let them ruin my fun and entertainment. I haven't felt as alive as i do now in ages, but the have nots always want what the haves enjoy. Hahaha, things will get interesting indeed, i might not even have to move a finger in this coming chaos. Thats the best type of chaos Hahahaha."

The shadow moved instantaneously from one spot to another amidst its laughgter.
"But I shouldn't be stupid it's always good to be prepared. Maybe I can even find a chance to mess with that miserable Scalar, hmph that nosy bastard. Someday ill rid Potestera of all these parasites and scum, they dare think they can rule outside my jurisdiction, it is i who put them where they are, it is i who gave them fame. I arranged their destinies on the path to greatness. Its ok i shall have the last laugh, specially against you "El" you traitor. Many of my handpicked gems are reaching maturity, and I've even found some new overwhelming talent. Your eyesore of a legacy has its days numbered."
A loud boom was heard throughout the room, yet the room seemed to be so large the loud noise was soon lost. Perhaps it is more of a hall than a room. Faint howls and wails could be heard in the distance.
The room scenery suddenly changed the ceiling and surroundings all reflected images of the outside. But it wasn't only one place,many places were shown, with the many varied images showing a fierce battle. Blood and carnage were present in many of the scenes.
All sorts of environments, and all sorts of individuals with extraordinary abilities made an awe inspiring sight.
In the shadow what appeared to be a joyful grin and a deep, mysterious, and perturbing eye could be made out. All of a sudden a macabre laugh could be heard.
"Hehehe things are really going to get fun in the upcoming years should i add another "Ultos" at the end of this, my eye has been itching lately, indeed some have been waiting very patiently prrbbb!!!...Hahahaha that idiot Divinos, sure why not lets give him a chance, i'm feeling generous these days. Even if the Mightos empire isn't exactly to my taste Divinos has been very respectful heheh bunch of hypocrites. Than its decided! Yes how my Eye quivers with excitement! Lets see, let's really see who's got what it takes to reach the top, to become eternal, through my hand and my vision the path has been opened!"

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers.

Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
