《Bone Sage》Prologue
Advertisement
Greetings.
My name is Melton. I am a 17 years old male who lives a fairly decent life. My family is in a upper part of a middle class so we have neither the economic struggles of labor classes nor the political and celebrity related struggles of a higher class. I am somewhat considered an intelligent person so I never really had struggles in school or other subject either. Someone could even say I live a perfect life without a single struggle except my boredom. I tried many hobbies such as sports and martial arts but decided to give up on them. Don't misunderstand me, I was quite good at them but they did not really give me much joy so I saw no point in continuing. About few months ago my family was struck with quite a shocking tragedy which was me falling ill. The doctor said it was a unique illness that slowly degrades your bones ,thus making you weaker and weaker. Since they never saw such an disease and there was no way to cure it I just accepted my fate. At least it would be better than crying over spilled milk right? Anyway, as I was closing my eyes and slowly losing all my senses I was confronted by a mysterious being.
"Welcome Melton" a somewhat soft female voice said
"And who might you be" Melton said without a single sign of being surprised or panicked
"I am an upper being"
Melton: "So something like a God?"
Upper being: "Unfortunately I am not omnipotent but you can say I am something people worship"
Melton: "Ughh... ok... I guess. Why do I have to meet you then"
Out of darkness a bright figure appeared. It was an upper being he was talking with. She had 2 pairs of golden wings ,a long straight gold-like hair and was wearing golden robes.

Melton: "Isn't that too much gold"
Upper being: "It's a sign of beauty"
Melton: "I don't really think so but everyone got their own tastes"
Upper being: "Jeez you are really helpless. Anyway. I saw the pitiful state you were in and decided to give you a new chance at life. I will bring you in a fantasy world every boy dreams of where you can meet a bunch of beauties and become a well respected individual"
Melton(without waiting a single second): "Don't wanna though"
Upper being: "Umm.... are you sure... you know... it's medieval world... it even has magic and stuff" she said nervously while starting to sweat a bit.
"Why would I" Melton said "It's not like I had an regretful life in the past"
Upper being: "But you can-"
"See ya" Melton said while waving and leaving
"WAIT!" Upper being said while running closer to him
Suddenly ,behind the upper being, appeared 6 pairs of pale hands. Two of them made fingerguns and started firing electric like magic at Upper being while two started doing karate chop on her head.
"ow ow ow ow" Upper being was uttering as she was getting hit over and over again.
"The hell is this??" Melton said looking quite confused
The remaining two hands put their palms together and a light started appearing. It was white but not too bright so it was somewhat pleasant.
"I excuse myself for intruding" a voice said from the light
"I am one of the Upper beings and I am here to clear a few misunderstandings"
"Oh? And what to clear up exactly" Melton said confidently
Two hands stopped using lighting like magic and started pointing at the Upper being they bullies
"This idiot here is responsible for certain places in certain worlds, including yours, and she decided to send you to save one of the higher worlds"

"Higher worlds" Melton said somewhat confusedly
"Indeed. They are worlds with higher levels of magic and are governed by multiple Upper beings ,myself included, but it seems one of them is heading towards a bad end"
Melton: "And what exactly is that bad end"
"Well.. we can give blessings to a selected few but we cannot intervene directly into this world. It seems a large amount of threats are appearing and their worship of us as their Gods, which provides us power, is decreasing as well as the number of people alive. If we add a powerful hero sent by gods not only will their lives be saved but they will also regain their lost faith. "
Melton: "So you want to keep gaining power?"
"Of course there is selfish part of it. Every coin has two sides "
"But why me you ask?"
"Well it is because THIS IDIOT decided to gamble against me and is in a pretty decent debt so she has to obey"
"Okay okay just stop hitting me already" Said they female like upper being
"But do I have to" Melton said
"Well, If you do , we ,the Upper beings, will grant you any wish"
"Can you really grant me anything" Melton said doubting Upper beings words
"Most of it yes. You will get some powers to help you aswell"
"Really. What exactly" Melton curiously asked
"You will have to find out" hand Upper being said.
"So? Will you go" said a female Upper being
"Ok Ok don't rush me ,I will " Melton said annoyed.
"Good luck on your adventure young one" Said a hand Upper being
And the lights went black again.

Frameshift
Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context. Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James. ... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh. AN: Expectations should include in medias res, violence, smut, friendship, and powers/progression systems with absolutely an insufficiency of context and (at least at first) no definitions or explanations, and magic-as-programming/engineering (with something of an emphasis on "what if magical runework were an analogue to circuit diagrams"). This story used to be called "Yet Another Godsforsaken Isekai". Discord server: https://discord.gg/dHh3XMMB4T Cover by the amazing Daedalus of The Way Ahead.

Placed on the northern hemisphere the Sea of Ember is a world of ice and stone, a land of fire and storms.Uncanny tempests sweep across the rocky terrain, rising and spreading ashes from dozens of active volcanoes disseminated everywhere in the continent.However, during winter, sudden snowstorms, almost as lethal as the rivers of magma scorching this plagued realm, turn the land into a literal hell.That's when Lithoniel's journey begins, during the last weeks of Spring.It should have been a hunting expedition, a short trip not far from the tribe's territory.Yet, when the Nightstalker, the tribe's chief hunter, decides to bring them in an unexplored area of the Asp ridge, Lithoniel has to decide if she can be something different from the outcast she had been for all her life.But can a fledgling hunter, an outsider in her own tribe be a leader? Warning: The grimdark tag is there for a reason. This is a dark tale and the author is a sadist. (which inevitably means that the characters are masochists. Well, it's not like they have a choice.)

Silence."Does she know you are looking for her?""Oh yes, she knows."Camila started choking on her food. She tried to maintain her spluttering so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. Taine noticed and decided to keep going. His eyes bored into her. "She actually decided to run from me... I don't know if she was a coward or just too weak and selfish to even consider giving me chance."She threw her cutlery down and stood up, leaning over the table. Her teeth were bared and a low growl emitted from the back of her throat. She felt hairs rising on her arms and neck. Usually even-tempered, she was now bubbling with rage. Taine didn't react well to her growl and mirrored her pose. He was trying to put her in her place, into submission. She was not having it. ---Destiny's collide, they crash and they scar.
