《Lost Things》Chapter VII: Crumbling Confidence
Advertisement
Even if the footsteps would normally concern Virgil, this was an exception. He could've been stressing himself to the point of hearing voices, once again. And if there were actually someone else, it would probably be Emma or other alchemists using this tower.
He then ignored the footsteps, until a familiar voice called. "Virgil?"
It was John, who had just arrived at this floor.
"Oh, hey. When'd you come back?"
"I just arrived home. Carson told me you've been locking yourself up here, practicing charms. Is everything alright?"
"I didn't lock—yeah, everything's alright."
"That's nice to hear." John stepped inside the carpet where Virgil was, looking at the amulet placed in front of him. "Were you about to practice?"
"Mhm."
"Ah, nice." John smiled. "You know, I didn't know you're interested in charms. That's great."
Noticing how John seemed sincere—unlike the times he was being passive-aggressive towards someone else, Virgil nodded., sensing that John wasn't too happy. Virgil couldn't pinpoint what's up with John, but he's probably not too happy about Virgil's whole deal with charms.
After a brief silence, John asked, "Say, how's the charming going?"
Virgil's words got stuck in his throat, and he better answer quickly.

The Final Test
Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Wattpad and Royal Road.]

On his quest to survive, he follows a mysterious wizard, and becomes embroiled in a revolution he knows little of. He cultivates magic, learns to fight with a blade, and meets worthy companions. He grows stronger and more mature, gradually turning from prey into a hunter. And in his journey, Vreil clashes with pirates, immortal jokesters, wolves and, even worse, sheep. Can he use magic, blade and wit to fight them off? Or will he be the one to fall instead? Follow Vreil on his adventures. Witness the dawn of an era. 🧙🧙🧙 This is a story I'd written a few years back, and I figured it's a waste to just let it sit around. Most of it is already written, but I'm going through the chapters and editing the shit out of them. This story is NOT a Lit-RPG, so no blue screens or anything of the sort. It is just fast-paced fiction with slight cultivation elements. Updates are bi-daily (so every 2 days), and chapters are 1500-3000 words. As always, feedback is more than welcome. Why are you still reading the synopsis? You have already decided. Go ahead, give this story a shot. It's worth it.
