《Prophesy of the Elven King》Ch. 5 Zotherg part 2
Advertisement
My mind reeled at the declaration that Zotherg was the whole mountain. How powerful would he have to be to have such a size? I thought to myself. Then glee overcame me as I thought about how I had such a powerful ally right under me.
Zotherg once again predicted my thoughts and said, "Unfortunately my lord I am unable to interact in the world or sign a contract with you to lend my power."
"Why!", I asked frustrated.
"You see my lord there are laws that bind us. Once an elemental reaches the borderline of the demi-god realm, we are no longer allowed to take action in the world without signing a contract. A mortal of too low a level cannot sign a contract with a god. It would break the law of objectivity." Zotherg stated.
"You're a DEMI-GOD?!!!", I asked.
"Not quite I am Almost a demi-god. I am only a few levels away but without a contractor powerful enough I cannot level up further. Once again it's all because of laws. We elementals are born immortal and nearly impossible to kill. So the universe dictated that leveling must be harder for us and have strict requirements. That's why some of us chose to create the elves, fairies, and pixies in an attempt to cross the barrier." Zotherg replied.
I put on a pouting face that to others would have looked like I was about to have a crying fit and asked, "can you at least teach me magic?".
I felt a pitying emotion before zotherg said, " unfortunately I do not know the spells that mortals use. We elementals control magic with our souls. We bind our souls to our element when we're born. Supplying mana to our bodies allows us to use it as a medium to control our element. Then using our souls, we can shape our magic with our minds. We call this process weaving, and only elementals can do it."

I sighed as I looked at nobody, "Well at least I'm not in immediate danger."
I felt a sudden tension from Zotherg and silence. The chatty elemental wasn't telling me something. I felt the emotional equivalent of not looking me in the eye.
"what?", I asked.
Zotherg hesitated a moment, contemplating what or how he should tell me something. Then he spoke, "The birth of an elf attracts the attention of wild demonic beasts. Normally your parents would have struggled, especially with you but I intervened. Although I'm not allowed to move, I sent out my aura and intent to keep them away. It has worked so far, but the more intelligent beasts will eventually figure out my bluff".
"WHAT THE HELL MAN!!! You're the only reason I'm still alive, and you are telling me now that I'm in imminent danger," I rebuked.
"At least at the moment, you are safe. Your father is a strong warrior that served the previous elf king. There is, however, an even bigger issue you are unaware of." Zotherg said Flustered as he sent me a mental image.
It was of a baby with pointy ears laying on a makeshift crib. The room was very familiar, and the baby appeared to be looking at the ceiling with his bright gold colored eyes. I studied it for a second and said," that's me isn't it?".
"Yes," Zotherg flatly replied.
I felt a cold sweat pour down my spine," How bad is having gold eyes?"
Zotherg's voice turned a deep grating whisper, " It's extremely rare, and every human noble and ruler would pay a wagon of gold for your head on a platter. they would pay a castle's worth for you in shackles."
I finally understood why my mother was so worried. The reason she had been overprotective of me. I had a massive target on me. My parents were all that stood between the world and me. They were my guardians and loved me. I could trust they would do everything they could to protect me, but that's what worried me the most.

I didn't care about dying. I did not fear death as I had died once already, but I was becoming attached to my new family. I already knew that if someone cut them down to get to me, I would never forgive myself.

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Arca Archa
New chapter weekly. In the year 2100, later to be renamed 1 AR, the world's first stable rift finally opened. It permanently connected Earth with Arca Archa, the mythical otherworld where the basis of all our myths, legends, and folklore once stemmed from. However, tragedy soon struck the world following this historic union as the Russian Great rift Outbreak event brought about a catastrophic loss of life and left the majority of the country covered in ashes. As if that was not already enough, in the aftermath of this incident, brand new and never before seen rift events began to spring up all over the world. These rifts would oftentime connect to the many dangerous and hazardous locations of Arca Archa, rife with perils that threatened the everyday peace of society. This led to the united nations of the world's adaptation of the guild system of the Arcanians and the subsequent immigration of their people in an effort to combat, mitigate, and control these events. Now, over two decades later, Edmond lives alone in this post rift era where he has to regularly deal with the consequences and fallout of these two worlds now intertwined.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
