《Grasping》Chapter 28: Apostle
Advertisement
Magnus turned invisible the moment he walked out of the forest. He teleported straight into the city and started looking around. His goal was to make an apostle. Or at least, this world's equivalent of an apostle. From what he had gathered from using Rory as an example. Apostles are unageing agents of the gods that do whatever their gods want of them.
Not very impressive to Magnus. Then again, she did not show any abilities that she may have had. Just in case, he decided that he would give his apostle a small ability and a weapon.
And so he searched the city for a suitable person for a month. Then, he returned to his domain and spent some time cuddling with a very cat-like Nuwa for 3 days.
When he returned to the city, he headed straight to his soon-to-be apostle. Inspired by Rory, he had decided to pick a teenage girl of age 14 years. Her name was Dice Corda. The girl was a beggar, an orphan and an immigrant. Apparently, her entire village was raided and burned down by bandits. Her parents were killed during the raid. She had escaped the fire and had barely managed to survive until now.
She sought revenge and Magnus was willing to give it to her. He had already checked, the bandits were still alive and kicking. In fact, their group had increased in numbers.
Magnus teleported in front of the girl and turned his invisibility off.
" Dice Corda, I choose you to be my apostle. Do you accept?"
The malnourished girl was sitting in an alley wearing half-burnt rags. She opened her eyes and stared at the boy in front of her. Moistening her dry lips with some saliva, she asked her question.
" A-are you a god?"

Magnus nodded.
" Do you accept?"
She thought for a second and replied.
" Yes."
She said weakly. Magnus smiled and put his relatively small hand on Dice's head. First, Magnus stopped her ageing and gave her slow regenration. Then, he granted her a passive ability. He created a small field around Dice that automatically changes the vectors of all projectiles that enter it. Never will she be hit by a projectile again. He then created a 1-kilometre field that makes little shifts of vectors around Dice, that she can subconsciously use to aid her in achieving her goals or protecting her. Subconsciously, at least until she figures out how to do it consciously.
Budget plot armour basically.
Taking his hand off the slightly glowing girl, he created a beautifully decorated dagger. A throwing dagger that will always strike true and return to the thrower's hand. However, if not thrown with enough strength, it may not pierce through the targeted point.
' An appropriate drawback.'
He sheathed the dagger in a leather sheath and handed it to Dice who accepted it with wide eyes. Magnus stared at the yellowish-orange energy of luck that Dice was covered in.
Real plot armour.
" Good luck my apostle! My name is Magnus, the god of chaos, by the way."
After telling the girl his name, he turned away from the girl and rendered himself invisible.

Long Island
Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. A normal guy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game.Note - Adding a cover made by someone I connected through wattpad: @DameCarnelian. Just a warning, it is not an accurate representation. The ship is not Raka's ship so avoid any confusion in that regard.

Grimm Tales: A RWBY Story
Two years after losing everything, two sisters will try to rebuild the lives they one had, as well as mend the heartache left behind through their connection with the many strange cast of characters they meet, and the many strange story's they're caught up in. Grimm Tales is a RWBY fan fiction I wrote and illustrated from 2014 through 2016. Keep that in mind when experiencing the story and the art within it. Also keep in mind that this story is technically unfinished. I put this aside in October of 2016 after completing what you can call the "first season" of what was going to be a multipart series. Even though the entire story remains unfinished, things do end in a somewhat satisfactory manner.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble
.. ...Every paths leads to the same destination... Five Saints, five Kings, seven Sins. One entire plane in agony. ..Chaos must reign... In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went. Cruel experimentation, the creation of monstrous creatures, the tearing apart of families and mass genocide...There were few crimes the mad Mage Kings didn't commit. As the Five Saints were summoned in desperation by the races of the world, everything was already at it's darkest hour. When the fighting was over, when the Mage Kings were gone and the Five Saints had returned to their planet of origin, a World Council was erected to keep the the delicate balance from falling apart. Many eras pass. Lyle Greyborne. Current heir to the powerful Greyborne family, the only son of Adarian and Alyssa Greyborne. With the maroon hair of his Greyborne ancestory and the exceedingly rare golden eyes of his mother's Bathory clan, Lyle's talents can only be described as terrifying. These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669
