《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.

Greg Veder vs The World
The average person can easily understand that when it comes to living in a villain-infested, crime-filled city like Brockton Bay, treating life like a game can get you killed. It's kind of ironic, then, that Greg Veder has always been far more serious about games than he ever has about life. (Worm/The Gamer AU)

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.

Saga of the Great Wolf
In the Dragon Seal Universe, humans worship the Celestial Court of the Dragon Gods. As per the edicts of the Celestial Court, humans Cultivate the Dao to seek strength and rise above their common roots. If they rise to one day serve the Dragon Gods directly, they have the chance to be initiated into the Greater Secrets of the Daos, which can allow them to live for millions of years. Coalescence, the Path to Transcendence, is considered a Heretical Art of the Demonic War Masters, whose evil empire was said to have been overthrown hundreds of millennia in the past by the Celestial Court. Wolves, a species that are said to have once served the War Masters, are listed by the Temple of the Celestial Court as one of the most corrupt of Demonic Beasts. They are killed on sight. Surrounded by the Demonic Wildlands and protected by the ancient Watch Towers, a number of human nations and empires thrive atop the Great Plateau. Cultivators rule over the general populace and the Temple of the Celestial Court rules over the Cultivators. Anyone caught practicing Coalescence is sentenced to death by torture. I am half human and half Wolf. Since I am already under a death sentence for my Bloodline, there is nothing to stop me from setting out on the Path of Coalescence. As I promised my mother, I will grow strong. When I am strong enough, I will destroy the Dragons and Dragon Gods. I will set this world, once known as Sirius, free from their chains. Releases will be on Tuesdays & Fridays.

Re:Mento Mori
When Ryuji, a disgruntled salaryman, is supposed to reach an unfortunate end, he is instead thrust into a new world, inhabiting a body that isn't his own. Forced into a world filled with strife and death, can he claim freedom and happiness? Or will his turbulent new life only lead to suffering and pain? As with every time-loop story written by an amateur author, this is heavily inspired by Re:Zero. If I had to explain my book, I would say imagine Re:Zero, but the main character can actually fight people instead of just getting merked every time he meets someone with a weapon. The themes of this story are dark, so be forewarned. This is my first story so keep that in mind while reading it.
