《THAUMATURGY》HALFWAY TO PARADISE
Advertisement
Nadine and Gilmore were desperate to remove the too-heavy rubble.
"It's no use, Gilmore. I'll run as fast as I can to the civil guard base. You keep digging. I'll be right back!" Nadine wiped her bloodshot eyes and climbed out of the hole with her vision obscured because of her puffy eyes. The same thing happened to Gilmore, who was still trying to get rid of the remains of the construction, more slowly this time, and also without uttering a word. He was out of energy, even to speak. As she had just climbed from the hole, Nadine felt the ground shaking, and suddenly a radiant light was behind her. She turned around and saw the petrified Gilmore, as he witnessed the debris vibrating and glittering.
"What is that? Alicia? Is that you? Alicia! Answer me!" cried Gilmore.
"Gilmore looks like you have to go up! The wreckage is gonna be scattered all over the place!" Nadine said.
"Quit yer haverin'! I have to get her! Maybe she's still alive!"
"GILMORE, STOP BEING A BAWBAG!" Nadine screamed at him again. "If you believe Alicia is still alive, you must hurry and take cover! You may promise with your whole life to save her, but if you die, you will never know her fate and you will never save her! NOW BRING YOUR BLOODY ARSE OVER HERE AND TAKE COVER, YOU FUCKING BAMPOT!"
The ground shook more and more, small debris floated in the air. Gilmore was increasingly hesitant to stay there. "FUCK!" he said. He had to go up and joined her to hide behind a gravestone. The shaking grew stronger as the huge debris also began to float. In that instant, an explosion of energy occurred, blowing the wreckage everywhere. Nadine and Gilmore looked down and covered their ears to prevent their heads from hitting the rubble, and also because of the deafening sound of the explosion itself. After the outburst subsided and the light faded, they heard the screaming of a girl.

"AAAAAAA! Land! Land now! Orb, Land, for Divine's sake!"
A familiar voice. Gilmore and Nadine dared to look behind the tombstone. They saw Alicia's figure hovering in the air, about to fall while screaming. The orb transmitted light again and unleashed its power to slow down gravity the moment before Alicia hit the ground. She was able to land safely, although her balance was a bit wobbly. They looked at Alicia–apart from wearing shabby clothes and lightly injured, looked fine–in disbelief. Nadine tried to get up the courage to ask.
"Alicia? Alicia, is that you? Are you all right?"
"Alicia…?" continued Gilmore, who was also curious.
"Ah, hello! Sorry to make you worry, pals. Oh, if you give me a moment, this orb says I have to clean up this ruined mess!"
"O-orb?" Nadine then saw the magic ball held by her friend. She was utterly speechless. Her friend then lifted the orb with her right hand, then lo-and-behold! The debris that was scattered all over the place was lifted up by the blue energy emanating from the sphere. They began to move and slowly formed into the various mausoleums and tombs that were previously destroyed. The big hole earlier was being filled again, and the bones were returned to their comfy beds. After a while, the funeral Complex miraculously returned to the way it was before the three of them arrived.
His two friends were amazed to see such a phenomenon. Gilmore, with goosebumps, spoke to Alicia.
"Alicia… you… can cast magic?"
Alicia answered.
"Yeah… about that, I... uh…."
The girl's vision suddenly turned black.
The quite intense sound of the ground-pounding was heard.
Alicia fell unconscious. []

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
