《One Versus Destiny》Chapter 2: People
Advertisement
I spent the rest of the hour exploring the hedge maze, killing normal barreling porcupines when they barreled at me. I was hard to not feel guilty about killing these animals. I was vegetarian because I wasn't going to be allowed to have death on my hands. One time, I tried making a grass shield, but it barreled right through it. I finally had to accept that they were bloodthirsty monsters that needed to be put down.
I felt something hard hit me on the back of my head. When I woke up, I realized I had been knocked on the head with a shovel, and I got knocked out. I was in a weird room with a man. He muttered to himself “Well, well, well, so the king summoning didn’t work out. I suppose I’ll have to eat him.” I wasn’t about to get eaten without a fight, so I punched him. It didn’t kill him. He pulled out a knife, which I promptly tried to tug from him. It didn’t work, as he was way stronger than me. He attacked, and with one graze, he broke my bone, and I yelled out in pain. I realized I was in a basement when I heard a voice from above. They said “Run,” so I ran to them, sprinting away from the lunatic. I wondered what my parents were going to say. There were three people in cages with thin, black collars around their necks. One punched him, and he was so weak, he was knocked back about thirty meters. I punched him and finished him off. There was a system message:
You have defeated (Death Cultist)
Would you like to collect drops from (Death Cultist)?
“Yes”
You have collected drops from (Death Cultist)
You have received (Atrion Armor) (Iron Category)

You have received 156776 (normal coins)
You have received 2387 (Iron coins)
You have received 322 (Silver coins)
You have received 18 (Gold coins)
You have received (Sword of the Atrion)
You have received (Death Cultier)
You have received (Iron Healing Potion)
You have received (Core Of Death)
You have received (soul stone of blood)
The Death Cultier and Core of Death exploded, and I needed to use the Iron Healing Potion. I was hit by another shovel.
When I woke up, I was in a cage. Those people from before told me to eat a silver coin, and so I did. I felt an immense power within me, and I was able to break all the cages and collars, and after five seconds, the power subsided, making me weaker than before. There was a weird looking monster. A volcano erupted under its feet after one said, in a cold, hard, granite voice, “Volcano of death, arise,” and another picked me up. One had orange skin, a tail like an ankylosaurus, hands on his back, plenty of wrinkles, legs under his stomach, and plenty of things dangling. He also had a mouth full of canines, and he had eye beams and wings, and a hump on his head. He was huge, and all three of them looked about as fit as a superathlete. I was wondering what was going on.
I pulled up my map, and I saw somehow, It looked a bit like Earth, but Sri Lanka was bigger. India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan had drifted south to touch Sri Lanka, and Andaman and Nicobar islands had enlarged by maybe ten times. Madagaskar had merged with Africa, which was where we were, and the Americas had connected, closing the Panama canal, and had drifted maybe two hundred kilometers west. I realized the hedge maze was just trimmed to look like minecraft and it really wasn’t minecraft, so I asked them the name of the planet. They said Glassfay. They started running at about a hundred kilometers per hour in the desert. I asked where we were going, and they said Magispestone.

I asked what a soul stone of blood was, and they said that someone’s soul possessed almost unlimited power, and you need soul stones to tap into the power. You have to absorb them to get the power, so I absorbed the soul stone, and it said:
You have absorbed the soul stone of blood.
New power unlocked
Waeswars
class pefigh
Effect: (Copper)
Summons a copper category waeswar that will fight for you and be your pet, and he can go into you.
“Wow,” I said. “What’s a Waeswar,” I asked. The one with the orange skin said the monster that had a volcano under its feet was a waeswar. It looked like a swarm of wasps.
“Sorry,” one said. "We never had time for introductions." The one with orange skin said, “I’m Doom Defeat Doom the First. My family is very peculiar with names, and forces everyone to follow a naming pattern if they’re in the family.” “Of course,” another said. “You're from a royal family, so for some reason, all are.” The other said, “I’m Joe.” The last one said, “I’m Fesoul. It may sound strange, but my family had been saving up for generations to get a set of soul stones, so my parents were excited once it had been determined I would be able to get soul stones. I told them my name is Arjun. Joe told me he had got his soul stones by winning a smithing contest. After a couple more hours running through the desert, we stopped, and they ate some bronze coins. “Are you mad,” I asked. They told me you could eat coins of your category starting at iron category.
After about thirty minutes, we arrived in Magicspestone. There were some monsters running about. Then, Doom started glowing silver after he killed all the monsters. People started running away, and they were right to do so, as gunk started spilling out from his pores. He poured some liquid on himself, and it cleaned on it’s own. He looked more fit and nine centimeters taller. I noticed that both Joe and Fesoul were about two meters tall.
I checked the land prices, and it was one silver coin per acre! I went to a hotel, where the prices were a bit more reasonable: 1 bronze coin per day.

He must ensure that the person he chose in the simulation's setup survives the end of the world in order to win. Author's note: I'm committing to one arc of four books. The arc has its own complete storyline. And each book has its own individual storyline as well. Each book also has 60 chapters, for a total commitment of 240 chapters. I'm aiming for a release schedule of a chapter every 23 hours.

Superhuman Magus
A story about an anti-hero guy among righteous people fighting against villains disturbing peace of his land. That's how the story unfolds. Interesting, right? Higher Races rules over lower human/sub-human races! The protoganist believes Higher Race took away his family. But he is powerless. So, he gave up so that he could live a harmless life. But fate didn't allow him to do so as it gave him a Supernatural power called 'Avasci'. But that wasn't the end as he found something else within him, something that allows him to defy his human limits. But nothing good comes without a price, balance is an universal law. Will Eason defy his limits while pursuing after his parents? Or will he lose the motivation to do so and selfishly pursue after power? >>NOTE: This is my first novel, so go easy on me with the typos and grammar mistakes.Release Time : Minimum=>1 chapter(good plot)/weekI will release more if I get enough time >>Title Name: The first title name was called Limits Defying Human which is basically the theme of the story. Superhuman Magus is a title that is based on a concept. Can't say more as it's a spoiler. I prefer the first title but it's just that the current title might attract more people. First title didn't make the novel seem like it's fantasy based. >>Motivation to create Novel: I created this novel to implement the vast imaginations I had while I was not creating a novel. So, there will be a lot of extreme imaginations. Most of these imaginations can only be implemented afterwards as it's a story. So it will take a while.
