《Sidequest》Chapter 5

With its roots cut by Alphonse's blade, the monstrous plant finally fell. Breathing heavily, Alphonse collapsed next to the still unconscious Hiro, his sword clattering to the ground. He pressed a hand to his left side, blood oozing through his fingers. Gritting his teeth, Alphonse nudged Hiro's leg with his toe, "I need healing."
Hiro shifted, a quiet moan slipping through his lips and his brow scrunching up briefly but he didn't wake up. Alphonse groaned and scooted closer, wincing in pain, "Come on, Hiro.."
Distantly, Alphonse heard footsteps approaching the chamber. Heavy, armored footsteps. For a moment, Alphonse wondered if Suzie and Kelsi caught up. But there were three sets of footsteps, two normal sets alongside the armored footsteps.
"Hiro, wake up." Alphonse hissed through his teeth, grabbing his dropped sword.
As shadows appeared in the doorway, Alphonse forced himself to stand and face whoever it was head on. The tip of his sword dragged across the dirt as he straightened his knees.
A tan girl with short orange hair stepped into the chamber, "Wow! Its already dead!" After her a girl with long red hair tied in a high ponytail and a tall person in a suit of armor and a black hood with a black and white mask came in.
The first girl caught sight of Alphonse and called out, "Hey! Are you okay?"
Alphonse stabbed his sword into the ground and leaned on it. "Not really..." he muttered.

When the dungeon came into view, Suzie's steps slowed. Her eyes panned down until she saw Kelsi standing at the base, a hand on its smooth, black surface.
Kelsi heard her approach and her head whipped around. She ran back towards Suzie, her soft brown eyes wide open and worried. Before she reached Suzie she cried out, "It won't let me enter!"

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

8 230Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.
8 169ALÉM DA CORTINA [português]
A história dos anjos, desde quando tomamos consciência da própria individualidade, poderia ser a história de cada um de nós. A vida não é um caminho linear, mas uma estrada cheia de entroncamentos, cada um uma possibilidade, que nos leva a novos desafios, a novas experiências. Em algum momento, no início de sua estória, o UM pensou em você, e pensando o criou. Então, repleto de um amor indescritível, disse apenas para você: “Vá e experimente os espaços que criamos juntos, e me deixe me ver em você. Mas saiba, amado Meu, que nunca te deixarei, que você nunca estará só”. E aqui estamos nós...
