《Majo Magica》Chapter 1
Advertisement
In the beginning, there were only a few that could use magic. Over time, that number grew to the point that all could use magic. They started making schools to teach the young generation how to use it more effectively, and jobs around the towns and cities required more and more magic. However, this was not the only thing that happened. On top of this, thirteen potent Witches were created. Their amount of magical skill far exceeded anyone else in the land. No one knows why or how they were born, but they were supposed to unite the world and rule the land. Unfortunately, the uniting did not happen; the Witches all despised each other and waged wars against one another. Some went into hiding, and some deemed it necessary to rule a country.
One of these Witches is known as the Twilight Witch, ruler of the country and city of Sanoptia. It is a beautiful city with a river running through it to the ocean, the streets paved in marble, and despite being a Witch, the people there all love and worship her. Every year, they hold a festival in her honor which she attends. That festival is happening at this moment, in the dead of summer. Everyone was enjoying the festival and celebrating. Food stalls were up around the city, and games, music, and fun were. A young man with long black hair tied in a ponytail was among the crowd. This man was named Itsuki Yachi, a newly licensed mage.
Itsuki walked amongst the crowd with a fish cracker in his mouth. Unfortunately, he just moved into the city a month ago, so he never witnessed the Festival of Twilight. Nevertheless, he was smiling ear to ear; he was so happy to experience this! He eventually reached a merchant stall with various jewelry, but a young blonde girl bumped into him as he approached it. He stumbled back a bit but caught his balance.

Itsuki: A-Are you okay?
Girl: Y-Yes….
He looked at her; she had a yellow frilly dress and an amulet around her neck. Her eyes were blue, just like his, but her eyes were more sparkly than his. As he was about to say something, the crowd around them looked in a specific direction. A group of guards was walking in the streets, surrounding a beautiful woman in a sparkly purple dress, she had purple eyes, and her long flowy hair was purple with white streaks. Itsuki’s eyes lit up; it had to be her…the Twilight Witch herself, Aurora Kuroishi. Itsuki moved out of the way for them, but the girl just stood there looking at the Witch.
Itsuki: H-Hey, you are in the way! That’s the Twilight Witch!
Girl: Wi…tch..?
Guard: Hey, kid! Move aside, please!
Aurora: Move aside, guards.
The guards instantly move to the sidelines, still forming a barrier but letting her walk ahead towards the girl. Aurora smiled as she looked at the girl’s eyes.
Aurora: My my…what beautiful eyes you have. Do you have a name?
Girl: I don’t know…I don’t remember.
Aurora: Hmm…what a pity. Men, come along.
The Witch walked past the girl, with the guards reforming their positions around her. Itsuki walked to the girl and sighed.
Itsuki: You are lucky you didn’t get jail time or anything…but uh, what was that all about? Do you really not remember your name?
The girl shook her head as the guard from before spoke up to Aurora.
Guard: Was that really okay, ma’am? I mean, what if that was an assassin?
Aurora: You don’t think I could handle an assassin?
Guard: N- No, ma’am! What I meant was-
Aurora: Hehe…I was only playing. The girl possessed no magic; she was no threat to me. Still…for someone to have no magic and seemingly no memories are strange.

The girl looked up at Itsuki and proceeded to walk away, but he grabbed her arm.
Girl: Yes…?
Itsuki: Do you really not remember anything?
Girl: I’m afraid not….now, please let go. I have to find a Mage.
Itsuki: Well, I’m a Mage! What do you need?
The girl broke away from him and looked at him.
Girl: You are…a Mage? What Rank are you?
Itsuki: B-Bronze!
The girl instantly turned away. In this world, Magic and Mages are graded. Magic goes from Grade 1 to Grade 12, with Grade 13 exclusive to Witches. Mages are graded from lowest to highest: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, and Painite.
Girl: I need a strong Mage, not a beginner…
Itsuki: Give me a chance! I want to be stronger; I want to be a hero!
The girl turned around and glared at him.
Girl: Hero? There are no such things in this world, only those that pretend to do good but are genuinely evil beings!
Itsuki: Then let me prove you wrong! I’m going to be the best hero!
The girl stood silent but then turned away and sighed.
Girl: Come along then; I am in a hurry. Let us go to an inn for now.
Itsuki: Alright, Akeru!
Girl: Akeru?
Itsuki: Mhmm! You don’t know your name, so I have to call you something. Akeru, it means to unlock because I want to unlock your memories! My name is Itsuki, by the way!
Akeru: Very well then, I will accept it.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author.

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)
