《LONE: The Journey Beyond》36. Schemes.

After spending the entire night with Aimee, Reven went to meet with Vera and the others.
He then told Vera to take care of all the people till they complete their mission.
After that he, Aarav, Aimee, Atal and Emma left separately for their respective missions.
Reven went to meet Ankan to ask whether everything was at place or not while Aarav went to bring one of the very important person required for the success of the plan.
Aimee along with Emma and Atal went to the secret hideout near the parliament building.
"Ankan is everything at place." Reven asked as he met up with Ankan.
"Indeed. Though it took some effort to make the tough ones to crack but I just closed in and pinched their weaknesses and Boom-!
Each and every one of them agreed to vote in favour." Ankan replied with a sheepish grin on his face.
"That's good. Have they reached the parliament building?" Reven asked.
"Yes." Ankan answered.
"Okay then. It's time for me to go and meet the Council for the last time that is."
Reven said to him as he gave him a video clip and told him to spread it as soon as he gives him a signal via Seven-Link.
Ankan nodded and left too.
Reven took his car and left to meet Aarav and the supposed important person before going to meet the Council.
While he was driving, he called the MHS and asked "Are you all in your positions?"
"Yes captain. No one be able to move a finger until everything is clear in Maya." All of them replied exactly the same sentence.
"Good. Now just a few more things left and then everything will be ready and the show will BEGIN!"
With that Reven cut off the call.
At the new academy building at the central cathedral of Maya. Aarav was standing with a person.
Vrooommmmm!!!
Soon Reven arrived on his car. He opened the door of the car and came out. Then he went near them and greeted.

"Sir Dwayen it's been a long while."
The person was none other Dwayen Brock, the guy who helped Reven during his admission procedures.
The guy is now the Principal of the academy with some stroke of fortune that is.
"Indeed it has been a long time Reven. Nice to see you are doing good." Dwayen greeted Reven.
"Oh no sir. In front of you how can I do better." Reven said sarcastically.
"Oh c'mon kid. Luck is very important part of life you know." Dwayen defended.
During the initial phase of the Advent, one of the portals directly opened above the sky of the academy.
It could even be seen right now at the old academy building, continuously spewing out World Energy.
The monsters directly descended upon the academy killing almost everybody including the old Principal.
But by some stroke of luck Dwayen, few teachers and a few students who worked in the research department got their hands on the new plasma guns.
With the help of these plasma guns and Dwayen's leadership they were able to kill all the monsters and could finally reach the area protected by the army.
This incident not only alleviated the guy's status by a large margin but also gave him a promotion to Captain rank.
But the biggest achievement he got was of course the position of the new Principal of the newly built academy which was made for awakened children.
In fact, Reven himself should have been studying right now as the minimum age to join the awakened academy was 13 years old as the people mostly awakened at that age.
But he and his batch were a special case so they were given a choice to not join the academy again. It wasn't much helpful to them anyways.
His position as the Principal was solidified after his ability awakening in which he awakened an ability called [Mass Clouding].
The name of this ability may sound pathetic but it was kept in the disaster class category of abilities.

Abilities were divided into many ranks. They were: Human
This was based upon many factors and considerations. Also all the abilities after sun rank were considered as talents.
From Legend to Apocalypse rank abilities were given the treatment which equalised the scientists of the countries.
As for Myth and Mystic rank, they were national assets. In Myth rank, only people with evolvable abilities were kept.
As for Mystic rank, practically they didn't exist because these abilities were uncanny and unpredictable for example Reven's [Unreality] could be considered as a Mystic rank though nobody knew about it as Reven had told them that this was a simple space ability.
Similarly, his [Transmutation] and [Covenant] were Myth ranked as they could grow with Reven.
Scientists believed that in the first batch of awakeners i.e. the people who awakened within 3 years of the Advent, there was a mass number of ability users too.
But according to their studies this will drastically decrease with later generations because the influx of Ardor will reduce by then.
Plus, most of the children would already born with Ardor assimilated physique which doesn't give their body that extra push to produce a response to create abilities from the stimuli of Ardor.
Dwayen's ability allowed him to draw Ardor from masses and strengthen people in groups by distributing it.
Which meant in wars of numbers he was the guy to follow. This also brings why Reven was here.
Since the guy could draw and spread Ardor in masses, he could also draw and disrupt the Ardor of everyone in the vicinity of his control.
This was what Reven needed. He diddnt know what kind of ability those council members have so he had to be careful.
Plus, with this guy's status, popularity and connections he was going to be even more helpful to Reven while dealing with the President.
Back to the conversation.
"It is indeed Sir."
"Now then Sir Aarav has already explained me what I have to do. What I need to know is when and how I am going to pull it."
"Don't worry. You will be connected with me the old man through [Hive Mind].
Have you signed the [Covenant]?"
"No but I already know about it. So let's sign it right now."
"Good then simply raise you index finger and say –I, your name (Dwayen Brock) sign the contract of [Covenant] with Reven Greh in his presence and accept this contract of equality knowing full well the consequences of breaking the [Covenant]."
As soon as Dwayen stopped speaking a silver layer of Ardor formed around him and bound his index finger with a silver chain of Ardor.
This chain also shackled his heart. Though it would only exist till the end of this mission.
In fact, everyone who signed the [Covenant] will be freed after the mission is complete.
"Good now then that's done Empress. Send Dwayen Brock the file named 'Operation Demise'."
[File Sent]
Ding-!
[File Received.]
Dwayen got the message on his Wrist-Band.
As he skimmed through it, he expression became more and more ugly and dark. After completely reading it in about 5 minutes he finally stopped.
Sigh-!
"I mean I knew there were problems with the Council after talking to Sir Aarav but this… This is too much. They went too far!
Whatever it is I am in. I will do it."
"Good. Then old man, explain him his role and be ready at the position till I give you the signal." Reven looked at Aarav and said.
"I will handle it. You go and meet them now." Aarav replied.
"Yes. Its finally time to meet them."
With that Reven left the academy.
It was finally time for all that scheming to start showing results.

Soul's Curtain
The mortal land bordered by two worlds, one of immortals and the other of ceaselessness. As Illias Finn remains bound within the cell of an abandoned prison the curtain calls its chosen to descend into it's embrace. To be honest I will just write and upload whenever i feel like it, but if i find it getting relative success I can try write a bit more. This will just be a write, read then upload kind of thing for me while i try to flesh out more worldbuilding. I'm pretty novice when it comes to writing just a few years of secondary english under my belt but hardly any of that's creative. NGL, a lot of this world building is inspired by Tower of God or other fiction i have read, especially the tower-like setting.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
