Chapter 12
“The preparations have been completed, Saintess.”
“Good work. You may step aside.”
The Saintess holds me in her hands and steps towards the circle.
[Bad Omen] has activated.
Oh shit…
“God of Time. God of Space. God of Life and God of Death. Grant this one the power to beseech our savior.”
Blue Energy has been sucked out of all the people in the room and gathered in the center of the circle.
“ The One, of chosen birth. Bringer of Light. Champion of Justice. I call unto you, with divine voice.”
I once again get the feeling of my magic being sucked out of me.
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 100…
Dang it, this is the most magic I have lost in a while. I’m feeling weaker as more magic is drained.
“Answer my call, come forth from the Void. Aid us in our hour of crisis. In the name of the Gods, I command, [Summon Hero]!”
A torrent of magic rips around us like a raging tornado. Some of the people have already fallen over.
…They didn’t die right?
“Saintess!”
“I-I’m fine… This much… is nothing…”
Even if you say that, you look terrible.
I’ve done some estimating and I have some bad news to share.
Ugh…Let’s hear it.
At the current rate, the summoning will end successfully. However, all participants will die.
…And? How does that affect me?
After their death from Mp exhaustion, you will be the only one supplying magic to the ritual. I predict that your body may not be able to handle the burden.
I’m in yet, another pinch.
Three things can happen.
First is continue on and shatter due to over burdening your body.
That’s a miss.
Second is to stop supplying magic to the ritual. This will save you, however the backlash from failing the summoning will cause a magic explosion. Being crushed is highly probable.

Okay that’s strike two.
Third is praying to God that some Deus Ex Machina type event will save your sorry ass.
I’m out!!!
Are these really the only options?!
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 200…
Mp decreased by 300…
“Gggh… I… must… hold…on…”
The Mp rate is decreasing faster!
*Crack*
…Was that…
You’re beginning to crack.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the Hell am I supposed to do in this situation?!
Do your damn job Advice and HELP ME!
Weeelll… There is another option.
Does it involve death as the end result?
No, you will most likely live.
Then just DO IT!
You can’t complain afterwards alright? Promise me okay?
*Crack*
I promise! Now hurry!
Beginning search for viable targets…
Searching…
Target found. Synchronizing magic wavelengths…
Complete… Initializing skill [Symbiosis].
My vision goes dark.
I have the feeling of being spun around, like I’m trapped in a whirlpool.
I’ve never been good with rides that spun. I can feel the contents of my stomach trying to escape out of my mouth.
“B-Bleeeegh…”
That feels much better…
“Hero! Welcome, we have been eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
“Koko wa doko?”
“Ah, that’s right. You can’t understand me. You there! Bring forth the [Ring of Language]!”
“Ano on’naknoko… Kanojo wa hakimashita ka?”
“Here, put this on.”
“Eh? Ring? What is this for?”
“Good I can understand you perfectly. I once again welcome you to our world, brave Hero.”
“Me? A Hero?”
“Indeed. Saintess, please welcome the Hero.”
The two people look over here.
Are they looking at me? No, that can't be right. They are probably looking at the Saintess.
I look around, but I don’t see her anywhere.
Come to think of it… My field of view suddenly got higher…
You’re sharing a body after all.
…Eh?

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
