WOOSH
"How persistent." Franz lets out a colony of blue wasps from his arms.
The colony looks like a big blue cloud. The colony then is splitting itself into two. One is coming to Varz and another is coming to Mammon.
"You are done for!" Franz exclaimed as he grows a pair of blue dragonfly wings to stay away from them.
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Varz and Mammon exclaimed.
BOOM
Varz shoots gust of wind and thunderous laser from the dragon heads on his shoulder bursting the colony to ashes.
WOOSH
Mammon burns it down by launching a great flame from her right arm.
BANG
BANG
BANG
A series of bangs can be heard crystal clear from the sky.
PIERCE
PIERCE
PIERCE
Both Varz and Mammon feel something piercing their bodies. It's not an ordinary bullet. It did make a hole on Mammon's flame joints and force Varz to undo his Abiofusi mode.
CRASH
They crashed the surface real hard. They can see Franz flying in the mid-air with his right hand open. There is a small hole on each of the distal phalanx of his fingers.
"What just happened?" Varz sighed as he tried to get up.
"Don't you dare," Franz said shooting something like blue small bullets from the holes.
BANG
BANG
BANG
PIERCE
PIERCE
PIERCE
"ARRGH!"
The bullet did break Varz's balance that he falls again.
"I didn't expect that I should use Iru Augmentation." Franz sighed. "Knowing that a weakling like you managed to make me do this. How embarrassing." He added.
"Bastard," Varz swore.
"What a dirty mouth you have there."
BANG
BANG
BANG
PIERCE
PIERCE
PIERCE
"ARRGH!"
"What? It's just a sting of hornets. Don't tell me that a sting of hornets with a little augmentation can kill you that easily."
BANG

PIERCE

Franz keeps shooting Varz that Varz is out of stamina to move any muscle left.
"I will never forgive you," Varz said in a bold tone.
"Huh? What did you say."
"You killed everyone back then. Didn't you feel sorry for that?!" Varz grabs his Katana lying over him. "You killed our family, you hurt my friends, and you even torture one of my friends!" He gets up with his katana and all of his might.
"He would laugh at me if he saw this. He also would do the same thing as I do if he was in my shoes. " Varz is pointing his katana to Franz. "THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DIE BEFORE THE ONE WHO HURT MY BELOVED ONES!" Varz exclaimed.
"Tsk."
BANG
BANG
BANG
PIERCE
PIERCE
PIERCE
The hornets pierce Varz's body, but this time, Varz doesn't fall a bit. His Katana emits green and purple Iru so does his body.
"You did torture Alfi and me. And now, it's my turn to torture you!" Varz is flying in Franz's direction.
Seeing that Franz shoots the hornets rapidly without knowing when to stop at Varz. Varz keeps advancing no matter how many hornets have pierced through his body and face. Seeing Varz is getting closer, he tunes up the pace, yet it doesn't Varz at all. And…
STAB
Varz manages to impale his Katana to Franz's chest.
"Game over." Varz channels his Iru from his body to the edge of his Katana blade.
Thunder and Wind suddenly come from the blade torturing Franz's body. The thunder strikes his body and the wind slashes his body.
"ARGGGHHHH!" Franz screams in pain.
Advertisement
As everything is seen going as Varz's thought. Or so he thinks.
"Just kidding." Suddenly Franz stops screaming and slowly his body sheds turning into a bed of snakes.
The snakes swiftly bite every part of Varz's body, face, stomach, neck, hand, etc. Varz feels his body getting limp as the snakes are venomous. Varz then falls from the midair and crashes the surface again.
"ARGH!" Varz screams in pain as the poison in his body is spreading throughout his body.
"How naïve you are, Varz. Thinking that you could defeat me by such a lame thrust." Franz is seen flying in the midair over Varz's body. "Well, you were a good toy, but you have bored me already. Oh well." Franz is pointing his Katana down and he dives right to where Varz's is lying.
As Franz is about to pierce Varz's body, Mammon appears sending Franz flying by her blazing jab.
"What?" Varz wondered why Mammon saved him.
"Don't die, boy. I can't let you die before you kill that bastard!" Mammon said.
"Mammon!" Asmodeus is calling her from the sky as they land.
"What's with those holes on your joints?! Let me heal you right away!" Asmodeus is getting worried as she sees the holes in Mammon's joints.
"Don't mind me, just take care of the mortal right there. He needs more!" Mammon said.
"Anything you said." Asmodeus approaches Varz and starts enchanting a runic spell.
"
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM teknik WHERE id_dosa = 7 AND WHERE tingkat = 2 AND WHERE type = "healing")->row();
?>
"
A series of small fireballs appear from Asmodeus's hands and it flies gathering on Varz's body entering it.
"Relax, you are being recovered right now," Asmodeus said gently.
"Thank you," Varz said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"You did great there. Don't be sad." Asmodeus is trying to console him.
"I know," Varz replied.
"It's rare to see you prioritize others over yourself, Mammon." Belphegor teased Mammon.
"It's because he deserves it. A mortal who spends their life for nothing doesn't deserve a long life. And that guy over there, it will be a waste if he dies now." Mammon explained.
"I see, don't you want to kill that guy?"
"I'll leave him to our latest member. He ought to be able to kill that scum if he is truly one of us." Mammon smirked.
"I concur."
Franz is seen to advance to Mammon. Yet, something like a small dragon is coming in his direction. It's ßenlong with Jeje Rider on his back. Jeje is seen holding a red card in his right hand. He then inserts it into his left arm, and suddenly a voice can be heard saying,
"FINAL BENTO."
Jeje puts a stance and he jumps to the sky followed by ßenlong who flies surrounding him spirally. He then stops in the midair with ßenlong behind him. ßenlong emits fireball from his mouth pushing Jeje with dragon kick position to Franz.
"You even can make a bad joke at a time like this. Like hell you-" As Franz is about to make his counter-attack, Cocong has already got him.
Franz finds himself being tied by Cocong body.
"Go!" Cocong exclaimed.
BOOM
Jeje kicks Franz real hard that Franz and Cocong are sent flying.
"Ahh~ Thank you very much," Cocong said in ecstasy while he is falling crashing the surface. "What an infinity ecstasy." He said.
Kartika then comes smashing Franz's body followed by Herman shooting flames and Levi shooting swordfish at Franz that Franz gets thrown. Alfi, Koji, Buriko, and Rian then enter advancing to Franz in the sky. Koji hits Franz's body with his blazing great sword blade, Buriko smashes Franz with his ax that Franz fall crushing the surface, and Rian strikes Franz with some claps of thunder. Alfi clenches his right hand as he gathers more silverish black Mana on it. As he is right in front of Franz's face, Alfi swiftly jabs Franz's face with it.

BOOM
The blow caused a great cloud of smoke. As the trio lands as the smoke is fading. They are surprised by finding Franz's face torn apart at the cheek. Realizing that, he grabs Koji and Rian's faces channeling his Iru to them.
"Wait!" Alfi exclaimed.
As he is done with that, he vanishes in a jiffy.
As Alfi is about to get Franz, Koji gets in his way by pointing his sword at Alfi.
"As you wish." Alfi closes his eyes, and suddenly their bodies get crushed as silverish black needles grow from their bodies. "Fuck Waku-Waku," Alfi said dripping his tears.
He remembers the time they last talk when they were going to save Varz through telepathy.
"Alfi, there's a chance that he will take control of us just like what they did back then," Rian said.
"And, once that happens, please kill us," Koji added.
"No, I just can't let that happen! How could I do that thing again?!" Alfi protested.
"You have to. If you die here, who would save the world? The only way to stop the brainwashing effect is by killing the infected! You want us to kill your friends?!" Rian persuaded Alfi.
"But…" Alfi was being hesitant.
"Alfi, we do ask for this and we won't blame you. Our lives are nothing to be compared with the world. Though the world hates you, you still have a lot of friends who care about you." Rian said.
"Not to mention you got a harem already," Koji added.
"Very well, I'll do it." Alfi gave a few of his Mana to them. "My Mana will crush you if you try to kill me."
"What a clever move." Rian threw a stone at Alfi.
Alfi caught it. "What is it?" he asked.
"Keep it, and Waku-Waku won't achieve their goal for good. You can say it's a momento about us." Rian smiled at him.
"Please protect this world, Alfi," Koji said.
"Yes, I will," Alfi said.
The more he thinks about it, the painful it becomes. Kartika and Levi approach him to console him. Seeing that, he wipes his tears and smiles at them.
"I'm okay, let's check Varz," Alfi said.
As Kartika is about to walk, Levi grabs her hand.
"Do you have time?" Levi asked.
"What is it?" Kartika asked.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you," Levi said. "I just…" Levi is getting blushed.
"I know, you just love him that much right?"
Levi nods.
"So do I, and I won't let anyone have him especially you." Kartika chuckles.
Levi then smiles and says, "Then, let's make a deal."
"A deal?"
"As he looks happy with you around, I won't annoy you. I just want him to be happy." Levi said seeing Alfi having a good time with his friends. "You know, I've been watching over him for years. So many miseries and obstacles he has gone through. Some did almost get him killed. But, he never gave up though he didn't have anything to look forward to. I want to make him happy, I want to take him to Hell so he can be happy with us here. Isn't it ironic to live for misery? It's just not fair, right?" Levi looks happy to see Alfi can smile like that.
"At first, I put a pity on him. Then I started to worry about him that I ended up loving him very much. I love him. My happiness is his happiness. I just don't want to see him suffer anymore, so I wanted to kill him. As I wanted to kill him, I met you, the source of his happiness. I am so glad that he has found his will to live. Now he can be happy in his life." Levi smiles at Kartika.
"Me? The source of his happiness? You are not joking, right?" Kartika is getting blushed.
"We, devil, have the skill to read mortal's mind. And, he does always think about you, Kartika. I envy you of course, but as long as he is happy, I will let him enjoy his life longer."
"I see."
"I don't mind if you become his wife."
"WHA????" Kartika is shocked by what Levi said.
"He needs to marry you to save the world, right? Both of you do love each other, so what?" Levi said.
"But, in return, when he's dead, He'll be mine. I'll save him from death and you'll end up in Hell all by yourself seeing us getting laid all day long. You'll see me get violated by him" Levi said.
"CUT THE CRAP!" Kartika exclaimed.
Levi chuckles and hugs her.
"I leave him to you, kay? My precious Alfi." Levi said.
Kartika just nods.
"But, if you hurt him even a single scratch, I will make sure you can't live your normal life anymore." Levi threatens Kartika.
What Levi said sends a chill to Kartika's spine.
Later, Alfi and his friends are about to go to the final floor. His friends are on ßenlong already. Alfi is talking with Levi, Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Mammon.
"Then, Lord Lucifer did tell us to let you confront Ki Bromo before seeing him," Belphegor said.
"I see, then, I'll see you again there," Alfi said.
"Once you come, I'd like to have a spar with you and that samurai of course," Mammon smirked.
"Sure thing," Alfi said.
Alfi is about to leave them, but suddenly Levi grabs his wrist and kisses him gently. Everyone is shocked by seeing it.
"YOU, BITCH! HOW ABOUT THE DEAL YOU SAID BEFORE?!!!" Kartika exclaimed in envy.
As Levi lets him go, Asmodeus hits her head hard, and they vanish in a jiffy.
Alfi is seen pale with his face getting red.
"SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU IDIOT!" Kartika gives him a dragon kick and starts kicking his ass.
"Should we just set a camp here?" Herman asked.
"Hahahaha… I guess so." Varz replied. "This is better, I guess." He added.
"Can you see how cute they are right now?" Aoi said.
"I don't understand why she likes something like this, but I get it why," Buriko said.
Everyone then burst out a laugh to see the traditional scenery of Alfi and Kartika.
Meanwhile… Somewhere in the forest, Franz is seen with the red cloak.
"You retreated?" Red asked.
"Yes. You won't believe what just happened to him." Franz said.
"Same here," Red replied.
Franz tears his own face. It's not his real face tho, he had been worn a mask all along. He was disguised as Franz.
"Guess no more, mask, eh?" Red said.
"How about you?"
"A freak got in my way, and he is really strong that he can keep up my pace."
"We do need to report this."
"Agreed."
"So, that's your true identity." Levi appears before them alongside Belphegor, Mammon, Asmodeus, and Amon.
"The one in charge of Zaluntino's annihilation, Titus Purnama." Belphegor pried Franz imposter's true identity.
"I won't let you get closer to Alfi anymore!" Levi turns her arm to a black swordfish.
"I'm sorry, mam. I have no mood to have a spar with you." Titus said.
"You do underestimate us, eh?" The princess of Hell spreads their Mana to their surroundings creating an intimidating aura to both of you.
"The Alfa will be ours. No matter what you will do, you just can't stop it." Red said.
"Then, see you later." Both of them vanish before Levi and the others.
"Alfi, no matter what will happen. I won't let anyone make you suffer." Levi said in her mind.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

The War of our Stars (SWTOR Fan fiction)
YAH, PICTURE! Also, I used "The Old Republic", as I couldn't fit in "Star Wars"....... Yes, the title does mean something. I guess this is a SWTOR Alternate Universe Fanfiction? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used glowtxt, Microsoft word, and paint to make that. I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE, I got it when I searched up "copyright free". Also, I just used glowtxt, but if whoever made glowtxt wants me to stop, I'll get rid of it. Whilst this is a fanfiction of SWTOR, the setting is VERY different, you will not see any SWTOR characters within this Novel, there will be places both made up and already existing in SWTOR. Take for example, whilst the Dark Council still exists, it will have completely different members. Also, there are minor changes to the history before and during the Old Republic, but there is little overall change, with the main character starting out at a similar time to a starting character. Star Wars the Old Republic Fanfiction. You'll understand the title, not in the first chapter, but as Frederick goes to outer space. Before the Rule of Two, there were multitudes of Sith and Jedi. Numbering thousands of both Sith and Jedi, a great war between the Empire and Republic has existed since time immemorial. From our World, a young boy named Frederick is born into the Galaxy of Star Wars, born into an Imperial Family, he lives up to the expectations of becoming a powerful Sith. But all he wants to do is to survive.... But by surviving, he does more so than simply surviving. Many have made star wars fanfictions, and this one will probably...... (I have read, watched and played Star Wars, so here you go) NOTES: Action and Adventure are a bit light for the first few Planetary Arcs. I'm terrible at comedy and romance will come will really late. Absolutely terrible until Corellia.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
