"Katarina and Ivan's graduation, i'm both happy and sad about that" thought Andrej while getting dressed up in an elegant suit.
"Idiot, please don't be late this time" said Anya, who was preparing a bouquet of flowers for Ivan.
"The time has come for me to salute the achievements of my friends, in hope that we will see eachother again" Mateja said while walking past Andrej in a hurry.
"Everybody is so excited, i should get a bouquet for Katarina too" said Andrej, and he went outside to pick some flowers for the bouquet. The preparations for the ceremony were going full speed, from cleaning the backyard and setting up a small stage, to preparing awards and exhibits. Andrej went to the nearest field to pick some flowers, but he couldn't decide which ones to pick, so he picked multiple different kinds, then he quickly went back to the room, and set the bouquet on the table.
"Wow, it's so pretty" said Anya and Mateja in awe.
"Thanks"
"Where did you find these flowers, they are all beautiful?" asked Anya.
"On a field nearby" answered Andrej, and at that moment, Katarina and Ivan entered the room, both dressed in elegant clothes.
"Hello my friends" said Ivan, who went to speak with Anya.
"Hello Andrej" said Katarina.
"Hello, you look beautiful in that dress" complimented Andrej.
"Thank you!"
"I can't wait to see you tonight" added Andrej.
"Yeah, what will we do after the ceremony?" asked Katarina.
"I don't know, but it will be something unforgettable" said Andrej.
"And nobody will come for that" added Ivan.
"Shut up, we need to prepare, let's go" said Katarina and grabbed Ivan's hand, then she led him out of the room.
"Hey Andrej, can i ask you for a favor?" said Mateja.

"What is it?"
"You know Viktorina from the class next to us? I want to give her a gift"
"Now that i think about it, i saw him with her a lot"
"I will give her a rare flower, which blooms only in the ruins" said Mateja.
"How will we get there?" asked Andrej.
"We will quickly go, pick the flower, and leave" answered Mateja.
"Okay, let's go"
"Take your flowers with you, because we will finish when the ceremony starts"
Andrej picked up his sword in the case of battle, and the two of them went towards the ruins.
"Ah, finally i will have a girlfriend, then i can be better than the knight" said Mateja.
"I hope that she won't just reject you" said Andrej, while reminiscing of his previous life.
"Do not worry partner, look we have arrived" announced Mateja, in front of them were the grand ruins of the Saint Nikolavljev castle at the foot of mount Urbus, it was said that many magical beasts inhabited the ruins, also a rare kind of flower grew, the one which Mateja was searching for now, it was said that the flower only grows in the northeast sunlight, so Andrej and Mateja went in that direction, and then after about forty minutes of searching, they found it, a glowing orange flower, which looked like a lily of the valley, Mateja went to pick the flower, when from a nearby bush something could be heard, Mateja and Andrej prepared for combat, but it was just a rabbit.
"Whew, it's just a rabbit" said Mateja.
Then, a gigantic three headed wolf jumped out of the forest, it looked like a cerberus.
"You just had to jinx it idiot?" said Andrej.
"Shit, what will we do now?" panicked Mateja.

"I will fight with it, you just go and grab that flower!" shouted Andrej.
"Yes!"
Andrej then started fighting with the beast, it breathed a fireball from one of it's heads, which Andrej managed to dodge, before cutting all three of it's heads with one slash, but it regenerated them quickly, then it breathed more fireballs, which Andrej all dodged, before slashing it's middle head off with a slash.
"I got it!" shouted Mateja.
"Now we run away!" shouted Andrej back, and they started running away from the beast, after another thirty minutes they managed to escape from the ruins, but when they got out, they saw that the sun already set, which meant only one thing.
"Shit, we are late!"
Back at the school, twenty minutes after Andrej and Mateja left…
The sun started setting, and the ceremony was almost starting, but Andrej and Mateja were not there.
"Geez, where are those idiots!" said Anya angrily.
Then, the ceremony started, Katarina looked around for Andrej, but she couldn't find him anywhere, which made her sad inside, the ceremony went on and on, and there was no sign of Andrej, and Katarina was now visibly sad.
"Now, the award for the best student of this generation, Katarina Gavrilova" the crowd loudly cheered, Katarina just went on the stage, took the award, and retreated back to her seat, not saying a single word.
Just then, Andrej and Mateja made it back to school.
"Okay, i'm going to find Katarina, good luck" said Andrej.
"Same to you" replied Mateja.
Then they split up, Mateja saw his girl Viktorina, who was flirting with Igor Ilić, one of the more popular students of the school, that made his heart break.
"Oh, it's you, put that flower over there and get out of my sight" Viktorina coldly said.
"But…"
"Get out of my sight"
Mateja put the flower on a nearby table and left quietly, then he bumped into Ivan.
"Hey what happened buddy?" asked Ivan, Mateja pointed to the table where his flower rested, and Ivan quickly figured out what was going on.
"Just ignore those morons, let's go get something to drink" said Ivan, and the two of them went to have a drink.
Meanwhile Andrej found Katarina on one of the back seats, away from all the people, quietly crying to herself.
"Hey Katarina" Andrej said, and Katarina looked up "Here, for you" Andrej continued as he gave her his bouquet "Sorry i couldn't keep our promise, i am an idiot, aren't i?"
Then Katarina slapped him on the face, before pulling him into a hug.
"Don't say such things about yourself ever again, you are the best person i know" she said, then she pulled him out of the hug, and took the bouquet from his hand.
"Wow, these flowers are pretty"
"Thanks, say, would you like to dance with me?" Andrej asked.
"You don't need to ask" Katarina took his hand, and they started dancing and having the time of their lives together.

Earth Exodus
Elliot isn't the first one taken, he was the last, or one of them at least. Careless divines, gods, or higher powers had been snatching humans through numerous means over the years.

The earth is ravaged by increasing levels of rogue magics, divines, and a war over resources and experience. Eventually resulting in a mass exodus of the remaining powerless humans by a coalition of gods.Now translocated to Vauthia where everyone has been given a path to power. They're met with an unfortunate reality. They've only been rescued from one dying world to be tasked with saving the new one. While at the same time they're apparently supposed to compete with one another. Meanwhile Elliot wasn't just given a path to power. He was given a choice. The opportunity for true power is offered. When as he reaches for it the power isn't all it's cracked up to be.Systemless in a world where everyone else has access to one Elliot must grapple with a multitude of problems from without and within. The 'gods' might actually be incompetent, uncaring, downright malicious, or all three. His power is constantly three steps behind those who chose the quick path to power. There's also the antisocial tendencies he's brought with him from earth. Can he trust the 'god' who seems to be taking him under their wing? Will he be able to catch up to his fellow earthlings who're ever increasing in power? Is it possible he may just break out of his shell along the way?*** What to expect ***The initial start will be quite slow, building the setting, history, and individuals involved. There is a small bit of progression in these early chapters for the MC, but more along the lines of figuring out how their systemless power works. though once the story gains traction it won't stop.*** Don't tell Elliot, but ***Elliot hates to admit it but he's very clearly antisocial. Not to mention troubles with thinking that stem from several un-diagnosed disorders he'd rather believe don't exist.*** Image Copyright *** //In this satellite image released by Copernicus Sentinel imagery, 2020 twitter page dated Dec. 31, 2019, shows wildfires burning across Australia.

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.

As a first time writer, I'd love some constructive criticism as well as general comments about my work as a whole. This story is something I've been kind of thinking about for the better part of a few months and I actually got anxious enough to attempt to put it in writing. Releases may be sporadic as I'm currently in school, and chapter lengths will vary depending on how much I feel i need to write to get my point across. The tags are temporary and may change. I plan on using a cultivation/mana system as this will be somewhat of a crossover
