《The Transcenders》Chapter 5 - The Fall
Advertisement
“Dear passengers, please remain calm and evacuate the vehicle. The emergency doors will soon open.” The bus’s emergency system had started counting down “Emergency doors opening in 3 seconds”. If the doors opened while they were inside the bus, they risked getting swept out and dying even quicker.
“Grab a hold of something!” ordered Miss Han.
“3… 2… 1.” *Whumpth!* The emergency doors slid open. Everything and everyone inside of the bus was sent flying. Even the bus driver. She had lost her consciousness since the start.
Rico, Aaron, and Miss Han seemed to be the only ones left. Their only hope was for someone or something to rescue them before the bus crashed on the ground. However, not everyone could resist the air’s pressure.
“Ah! My hands are tired! Oops…” Rico’s hands let go of the seat that he was clinging to. He started flying away.
“RICO!” Aaron went after him.
*Whoosh! Bam! Grab!*
“Phew! I managed to get a hold of Rico’s hand, but what now? Shit!”
*Grab!*
Miss Han had followed after Aaron. She grabbed his leg and extended her right hand. I can’t mess this up!
*Grab!*
Miss Han managed to grab a hold of the rear of the bus. “Don’t worry. I got you!”
However, her hand slipped. “NO!”
Aaron’s magic was depleted, Rico and Han hadn’t learned any magic. The void was their enemy. It seemed like they would keep falling for about 30 seconds before crashing onto a building's rooftop. The only thing they could do was await their death. Or was it?
The miss tried to find a solution. She couldn’t. “Ha~ does anyone have a way to get us out of this situation?”
Aaron looked back at her. “Um… I do have something. It worked with both Rico and me at the same time, but I don’t have any magic left. And with the 3 of us…. We are too heavy!”

“Then, I guess this is the only way. Goodbye.”
“Miss Han!”
She intentionally let go of Aaron.
Miss Han wasn’t really enjoying the moment, but she had no regrets concerning her decision.
“This is it. I have lived long enough. God, if you exist, please let this sacrifice atone for all the sins I have committed. If this is what I have to do in order to save our guild, then so be it.”
Aaron understood that she was about to die for them. He took the pistol that he had been grabbing a hold of since before he even grabbed Rico’s hand. “Hold on to this pistol! We’ll need your mana! This is the only shot we got!”
They fired the hook and it stuck to a window in a tall building. There were people on the other side having a conference. “We did it…”

A Collection of Tales
This is or rather will become a collection of short stories set in the worlds of The Misplaced Dungeon and Unexpected Consequences as I am finding it difficult to avoid including some amusing ideas that would sidetrack those stories. And now also include stories from the world of And Dungeon Makes Three. Unless otherwise stated these stories happen in the background and are here because they seem to want to get out. Updating will be irregular.
8 67The Wind Shifts
A wandering loner rescues a young exile, and by doing so is forced to reassess his place in the world. Elloreah is one of the rare Ethereal. There is a demand for rare creatures such as Elloreah among the Mythic black markets. Mingan cannot turn a blind eye knowing what will become of her should she fall prey to poachers. By rescuing her, he finds himself pulled back into the vast network and influences of the Tutelar, the shadow organization that keeps the magical elements of Earth under wraps. His fate is soon intertwined with Elloreah's, whose exile from her homeworld is far more complicated than either of them realize. This was an earlier draft of this novel. I'll be removing the majority of the story shortly. I hope anyone reading it got the chance to finish it. If not, and you'd like to do so let me know. I can link you to a finished version. In the meantime, I'm working on the rewrite.
8 145The Tales of YAP: The Superhero Series
“Listen well, and listen kindly, for my story is a story of contradictions; of the dead becoming alive and the weak becoming strong. Likewise, those nominated as the strong are reduced into the weakest of foes. And lovers, those sweet companions, are nothing but crazed psychopaths. This is the type of story I will tell. The story only I can speak of for it is solely mine. And now, as I recount it to you, thence forth it shall belong to all that hear of it. Listen well, then, for I shall begin.”Sooo, that’s it. The world isn’t what it is. The dead are alive. The weak become strong. And bla bla bla. The normal days of a superhero-in-training, I suppose. I hope you have a bit of patience because my story is a long one, and it starts out in the same old, boring world.My name is Yassi Anne P. Sorento, and this is my story before I became the superhero I am today. (First posted on Webnovel with the same title and under the name, Hua_Li_An.)
8 68The Replacement
For twenty years Amon lived his life as the bodyguard of Vine Weyer, the prince of the Weyer Kingdom. In those twenty years he learned and fought alongside Vine against the threat of the Acolytes and the Goetites they worshiped, and in the end, they failed to defeat them. After a disastrous last stand, Vine asked something unimaginable for Amon to do. Yet, if Vine was to be believed, Amon had the opportunity to succeed where Vine could not.
