《Tales of Light》XI. The Fall of the Skies
Advertisement
"It's begun... there's no stopping him." Said Nezt as the sky burns bright red.
"What has begun?!" Shouted Dari with a concerned look. "Why is the sky red?! What can WE DO?!?!!"
There was silence as Nezt looked up towards the sky. "Nothing it's already too late for us..."
"What DO you mean?!!!!" Said Dari as he pushed Nezt trying to snap him out of his trances. As Dari goes to push him again. Nezt dodges and pinned Dari to the ground with his staff.
"As I said before, there is nothing that can be done." He said with a calm voice. The sky was bright red. Off in the distance cities began to crumb, the ground swallowing up cars and people.
"HOW CAN YOU BE CALM WHEN EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS FALLING APART!!!!" Screamed Dari with fear in eyes as everything disappeared into the scorching earth.
"There are infinite outcomes and possibilities out there. What happens here cause chain reaction throughout infinity. It will be noticed. We were simply too late and oblivious to its warnings. You must simply look at the bigger picture. Infinity goes on forever. So he won't be able to destroy them all."
"But how would you know that he isn't destroying all of Infinity now?" Asked Dari, still looking at destruction of cities.
"Because unlike us, Infinity transcends the natural laws of existence. Live in its own world, Nexus, the heart of Infinity. And the heart is protected by the Others. Beings like us that have transcended the natural laws of this reality. There may be multiple versions of them. If he invaded the Nexus, we would see them fighting. An army of unimaginable power and devastation. Supernatural beings of power that shake the heavens and hells." After his speech, Nezt walked over to a large rock and sits down.

"If the Others aren't here then are they unaware of his presence?" Asked Dari now fidgeting with a pencil.
"No some of them are aware. Lanzar most likely knows, and the ones that are the embodiment of chaos and evil most likely known. But the Collector, Commuter, and the Broker are some of the few that possess the knowledge to destroy him. Our time is almost up so before it ends I must show you something." Nezt pulls out a pair of old green goggles with blue lenses. On the side of the goggles it said NJQ.
"What is this?" Asked Dari as she holds up the goggles to see through them.
"Find me and say the time has come black and pink vortex."
"What does th—" Dari was cut off by Nezt as he shoved Dari into a blue rift. As Dari fell down the hole. It had no end. Up and down had no meaning. Time stood still. As she fell for what felt like years. She saw darkness at the end of the tunnel.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
8 175Et Non Lucem
A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!

After dying on his hospital bed, Jack is surprised to once again regain consciousness. Turns out he’s in purgatory where he learns that God has been pretty into gaming lately… you already know where this is going, don’t you? Yeah, yeah, I know, another LitRPG story like many others. SO original… But why then do we keep reading them and looking for more? The answer, for me at least, is because they’re usually just plain fun. That’s all I hope my story can be: fun. No fixed releases for now, nor any future plans. I’m just trying to enjoy my time writing it. Btw, the cover is something random I did and has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Don’t ask me why.
8 118Core Microsystem
Amara has spent most of her life with her parents, either switching the time they spent with her or leaving her alone most of the time. On her sixteenth birthday, her parents were a no-show. But to make up for their no-show, they did give her a gift. A gift that was going to be coveted by a lot of people who played virtual reality games. This gift would allow her to become something, to be someone in the world. To not be the kid whose parents have left her to fend for herself since she was ten. When the new game, Core Microsystem, came out, there was a twist. A twist that changed a lot of people’s lives. When a player went to create their character sheet, a random generator would offer them the chance to become a dungeon core in this new world. Watch as Amara creates her dungeon and how that affects her life in the real world.
8 172Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]
