《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》Silhouette and Shield
Advertisement
Only Phalanx, Hargnes, and his parents remain unarmed. Jon looks at the four of them with a puzzled look, but he does not say anything either. Then Jon comes and takes his mother's hand, and gives her a silver shawl. He puts it in her palm, saying:
“This is Dasanilash…” he interrupts, then speaks so quietly that no one could hear. “…You will turn the table.”
Victoria looks at him and then accepts the cloak. Dasanilash is a hooded cloak. When she puts it on, the whole cloak glitters with a beautiful silvery light. But just seconds after she covers it with it, Victoria becomes completely invisible. She seems to disappear without a trace. They all look around in amazement but find nothing. It is not until a moment after Victoria removes the hood that she reappears.
“If you close her eyes and focus on yourself, Dasanilash has another power besides invisibility,” he said.
Indeed, when Victoria does as she is told, she closes her eyes and focuses on herself. When she opens her eyes, she is holding a longsword made of water but as sharp as ordinary swords. Not only that, but she also realises that another version of herself is standing beside her. Another "Victoria", identical to her exactly, even a curled strand of hair is the same. The two "Victoria" look at each other without taking their eyes off each other while the rest are equally shocked, only Jon remains calm. He says:
“It is your illusion. You can create as many illusions as you want. Illusions only go away when you absorb them or they get attacked.”
Victoria turns to look at her mirage. She takes it by the hand, feeling an infinite truth. Then Victoria closes her eyes tightly and concentrates her strength the same way she summons her illusion. The clone Victoria then re-enters her body and disappears, the water sword also dissipating. But she also knows that, with this ability, the situation of the battle could change in favour of her side. And just hope, her hunch is right.

"And this is yours, father. The Pyrossid Shield,” Jon hands it to him. "Father, use it with the Mighty Dragon sword."
Reind takes the Pyrossid shield and grasps it firmly with his left hand, while with his right he draws the Mighty Dragon fastened to his belt. Jon continues:
“Father, go over there, towards the rock in front of you,” then he turns to Leila who was standing next to him. "Can you let thunder strike my father's shield?"
"Of course!"
With that, Leila once again uses her power. She summons a pillar of thunder from above, which attacks Reind's Pyrossid shield. Thinking, if an ordinary person receives a lightning strike like this, there will be only ashes left. But amazingly, all the damage of the lightning column is absorbed by the Pyrossid. No one knows how or how all that power is transformed by the Pyrossid and passes through Reind's body. His eyes are so bright that his eyeballs have turned white, and his whole body is surrounded by electric flashes. That energy runs through his body and then focuses on the Mighty Dragon he is holding in his hand. Thus, it is clear that Pyrossid is an energy absorber, and the weapon, for Reind, is the Mighty Dragon that will explode that huge source of energy. After completely absorbing Leila's thunder column, Reind is like a ball of energy about to explode. His strength right now is unbelievable. Reind swings the billowing sword surrounded by lightning at the rock in front of him. Immediately, a death slash carrying the power of thunder explodes the rock, and sweeps a wide area around it.

Reagan was just the average marine biology intern, but he never expected to be drawn into a portal and wake up as one of the creatures who dwells in the ocean. Not only is this seemingly new world confusing and filled to the brim with predatory monsters, but it seems to have a system like an RPG! But Reagan's hopes of incredible powers are quickly destroyed when he makes the discovery that he is a custacean, and crustaceans are the only monsters who can't evolve or get abilities as they level up, the only thing they get is bigger. PS. this is my first story, i accept criticism.
8 84Programmable Magic
Our main character, Reo van Dijck, tries to survive in a world where magic-spells are stored in game-like-cartridges. Only a few lucky ones can use them though. These chosen ones are venerated and worshipped like celebrities, unbelievable riches lie only a single dungeon-exploration away for them, they are called Machia. What will happen to our protagonist when he awakens as a Machia and discovers that he can actually program these magic-cartridges?... The Earth also changed drastically since the dungeons appeared, how could it not? These unknown, giant towers suddenly started spewing out hordes of fiends and monstrosities. Only The Machia were able to defend against these attacks on humanity. Countries were destroyed, safe-havens were build and then yet again destroyed. Eventually humanity adapted, like it always does. The economy was rebuild and centered around these new towers, these dungeons, the treasures they hold outweigh their dangers. Life is relatively safe again, for most at least… Read about Reo’s exploits, an immigrant from the Netherlands, as he tries to honor his dead parents and… find love? Establish a Guild?! Live the Ideal Harem life?!! BECOME PIRATE KING?!!! Okay maybe not that last one, but Reo will definitely leave his mark behind on this world full of mystery. This story features romance, comradery, an interesting power system and a post-apocalyptic world with amusing characters, what more do you want?! No seriously, I’m always open to constructive feedback. This story also displays my interpretation of a magic-coding-language (based on JAVA). Although knowledge about coding helps, you can also enjoy the story without it 😊.
