《The book of forever》Chapter 2: A simple dream.
Advertisement
Death is always a scary thing, unknown; we fear what is obscured, the other side, every day a race closer to end. Many deaths, preventable. Death? Certain. Atleast… at least until this very time. The Epoch of a new age, a new life; from research we have overcome shackles, shackles lain on our bodies since our births. No man was free from them, nor creature ‘like, we have overcome death itself yet why… Why does my heart beat so uneasily? Yet why do I feel weaker than before?
The experiment continued as such, from a altar to science itself, death… Death would be slain for the very first time, like a dagger into it’s cold dead heart, I could feel the air stop, time stop, life stop… This experiment had been done countless, countless times before. Not by me, nor us, instead humanity has always ran, ran from this primal fear inside of us. Was it right to oppose the sleeping gods? Was it right to take their domain from them? I do not know, all I know is a hope, A hope for a future without cold tears…
Before me now stood a god, at least close, closer than what we have had seen before. He looks around, then down to his hands, same; the same hands he has always had since birth. He looks around, then into the mirror. It is again the same, there is no change. Had the experiment failed, had they failed? No, I had a feeling, a gut feeling. Some part of me knew that he was slight’ changed. Was it his height? No… Was it his eyes? Yes… There was something missing, maybe he saw. The patient stared into the mirror, age, his eyes had lost the age and weariness. The same in every way, yet unique... A creature-

“Can you stop staring so we can begin? Begin the test I mean, It’s quite cold here.”
The specimen interrupted, strangely… strangely he felt lighter, his tone brash, young. Far younger than he sounded just before, a man almost certain of his casket. Far younger at least, maybe he would live…
What he didn’t know was that he was right, he would live... he would live longer than most. He was the first elf, at least what we called, He was the first elf, yet also the least? Perhaps it was because he lived before, before an era with such a lone kin, unhindered by life and death’s eternal grasp.
“Me? I got a great paycheck, did I regret? No...”

The Grey Realm, an Erebus Story.
Written by: Staugroan and The Inklets. Edited by: Claudia Adams. In the beginning there was a god, who watched over and made one world his own. Soon after the god grew restless, but happened to stumble on a small world filled with life. This world was named Erebus by its peoples; humanity. The god was so fascinated with this new world that he started to copy it back home, creating oceans, forests, deserts, and so forth. Then the god created life and eventually his favored creations who would be immortals and be the better of mankind in every way-the elves. So often the god had traveled to Erebus that the two worlds became linked by magic and their inhabitants could cross at will. Relations between the races flourished, and a great empire was born in the Grey Realm, home of the elves. But the god once again grew restless, and set loose great beasts that stood at the top of any food chain, the apex. At first the elves met the challenge and fought them head on. But mankind was not so lucky, they died in droves to push back even a single apex. Something had to be done. Elves and man worked together to begin sealing off the worlds to protect mankind, to limit the ways in and out to better fight the apex off and keep their fellows safe. The ritual had adverse effects the likes of which neither the elves nor man could predict; the sealing of the worlds started slow, but the magic had never been done before, and in their ignorance it spread to completely cut the two worlds off from one another. It ejected the apex, and other magical being back into the Grey Realm, saving Erebus. At first the elves were content, they would find a way back once the apex were dead and gone. But the seal had done more than keep Erebus locked away. The powersource of the seal was magic itself, from both worlds, and it consumed it all greedily. The elves, weakened without their magic, crumbled into ruin, and the apex were free to hunt the other races of the Grey Realm. Two-thousand years later a strange phenomena is occurring and magic is slowly returning to the Grey Realm, and tears open that allow passage to Erebus. Thu'lain and a few elves must make the journey to fallen kingdom of the elves Anosora, in the hopes of reclaiming what was once theirs. They must face their nemesis the apex, and survive not only the species that have turned against them, but a terrible being left behind by the god to kill even the apex. Uch'l'thein, the faceless terror.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.
