《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.

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor. Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.
8 167Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

The age of gods ended aeons ago with their departure from the mortal plane. After several millennia of conflict, the myriad races they left behind have finally settled into uneasy peace. Although corporate towers have long since replaced holy temples, reminders of the bygone age of gods remain in megacities built on the ruins of fallen kingdoms. Valen Vasilis, a vampire living the city of Dragon's Rest, arrives in his old neighbourhood to visit his dying sister only to be thrown into the world of ancient conspiracies, violent cults, and greedy corporations where the slightest mistake could get him killed or worse. Although the young vampire knows he is in over his head, he must fight to save his sister and the city that ostracised him.
