Soaring Dragon Continent, Sky Serpent School
Qiu Zhen opened his eyes and sighed. “I shouldn’t have let him live, now he only brings me more trouble…” Qiu Zhen thought to himself before shutting his eyes again.
One of the grey robed men looked at Qiu Zhen and checked his cultivation. “Ye Fa, this guy has the rank of first Dao realm, he can’t be Qiu Zhen.”
“No, this is the right place, Ye Chen told us where he stayed, he might have had a breakthrough. But no matter, I am at the seventh Dao realm, and you two are at the sixth, this is more than enough to handle this trash.”
Qiu Zhen just fought with Ye Chen earlier today, and now in the middle of the night some more idiots appeared calling him trash. The connection between the two is plainly obvious to Qiu Zhen, Ye Chen went and told Ye Che about the matter and to solve it Ye Che sent over these two.
Qiu Zhen doesn’t know who Ye Che is, but he knows that he must be a high ranking inner disciple or a core disciple, because no normal disciple could make three inner disciples come here. The qi in Qiu Zhen’s body is slightly unstable, he just had a breakthrough so it wouldn’t be that wise to have another one right after. However Qiu Zhen could use a battle to stir up his qi and see how well he is matched against these inner disciples.
“Qiu Zhen, brother Ye Che has ordered us to cut off your arms and legs, don’t worry though we’ll make sure you live.”
The two men in grey robes took out their swords, and pointed it towards Qiu Zhen. Ye Fa stood back and watched, he doesn’t even know why Ye Che made him come handle someone so weak. If he had it his way, he would rather be in bed with a beautiful disciple instead, but Ye Che is in charge and Ye Fa doesn’t want to get on his bad side.

Qiu Zhen slowly stood up and glared at the two men. “Ye Chen should have told you guys about how I beat him and his lackeys with one move right? If so, then you really should have brought more people to come, that way you would give this daddy a real challenge.”
The three men were shocked, they never heard that Ye Chen and his two lackeys were beaten in one move. If Ye Che heard that he would have killed Ye Chen on the spot, the shame of losing in one move by a ninth rank cultivator is even worse than losing to one. Ye Fa couldn’t believe him, he just coldly snorted at Qiu Zhen. “He’s lying, there's no way he would beat them in one move. If anything he used some secret technique that caught them off guard.”
Qiu Zhen’s body blurred and he appeared outside his house, the three men were stupefied. “Such speed!” Qiu Zhen then started taunting the men, “Come, let's play.”
Ye Fa glanced at the two men and made a gesture for them to go handle Qiu Zhen. The two men both were at the sixth Dao realm, and they were proud members of the Death Blood faction, to them facing a first Dao realm disciple was going to be easy. Both men’s figure flashed, both charging Qiu Zhen from a different side.
Clang!
The two mens swords clashed against each other, however they were sure they pierced straight through Qiu Zhen. When the two men charged at Qiu Zhen, he moved out of the way leaving only his afterimage to be cut through. You could say that Qiu Zhen was fast, his speed could compare to a seventh Dao realm cultivator, but the two of them are only at the sixth Dao realm.
Ye Fa who is watching as the two men chase Qiu Zhen around and try to cut his limbs off is stunned. “His speed… it’s almost on par with mines. No wonder he could beat Ye Chen, he used his speed to his advantage, smart brat, but too bad he doesn’t have the strength to back it up.” Ye Fa only seen Qiu Zhen dodging all the attacks, but he hasn’t seen him attack even once.

To Ye Fa, Qiu Zhen only relies on his speed to win over his opponents, but if one of his opponents touch him then its game over. This is to be expected, Ye Fa can only tell that Qiu Zhen is at the first Dao realm, facing a cultivator at the sixth Dao realm anyone can tell who would win.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Qiu Zhen kept dodging the attacks, while the two men kept clashing their swords with each other. When they thought they had Qiu Zhen he suddenly disappeared, and these two men were getting angry. “Damn trash! All you know how to do is run, what you can’t fight!?”
Qiu Zhen stopped running, and his figure solidified in between the two men. “Oh, only know how to run you say. If I attacked you the fight would have ended before it even started, this daddy here is only playing with you two.”
One man swung his sword at Qiu Zhen, but Qiu Zhen’s figure vanished. “Fuck!”
Qiu Zhen’s figure was in the air twisting around, his foot had flames on it. “ Piercing Sky Burning Kick!” Boom!
The kick landed on the man's shoulder, and a cracking sound was heard before he went flying. The other man was stunned, Qiu Zhen had caught him off guard and attacked him causing him to fly away. “Damn trash! You dare attack when he was caught off guard!”
Gently landing on the ground, Qiu Zhen looked at the other man with a calm expression. “I didn’t catch him off guard, I was simply faster than him. Since he lost to me worse than trash would be compared to a pile of dog shit right? So should we call him dog shit now?”
The man’s face turned red, the person who Qiu Zhen kicked was his blood brother, how could he take Qiu Zhen calling him dog shit. “Ye Che might have wanted you in one piece, but i’m going to kill you!” The man’s figure flashed and it seemed as if he had a sudden increase in speed because of his rage.
Bang! Boom!
The man started throwing punches at Qiu Zhen, each strike caused the air to vibrate making a boom sound. The punches were being struck out as if it was an endless whip, but Qiu Zhen was dodging each blow just as fast.
Ye Fa who was on the side was watching the fight, his expression kept changing every now and again. “Hohoho, it seems this disciple has some potential, elder brother Ye Che could use someone like him.” Ye Fa had many thoughts running through his head, he didn’t know if he should step in now and finish it, or wait and see what would happen.
“If I catch you trash, then you’ll wish you could have kept dodging!” The man was enraged, each one of his blows was being dodged and all he kept hitting was air. The only people who he can’t fight against are those who have a higher cultivation, but the person in front of him was only at the first Dao realm, he was ashamed of himself.
The man didn’t want to admit it, but Qiu Zhen’s speed was way faster than his own, and he felt that if he kept throwing punches then he would lose all his qi. Boom! Finally one of the man’s punches landed on Qiu Zhen.
“Haha, now you die!”
Qiu Zhen stopped dodging the man's attacks, he let the man hit him, only for the punch to be caught in his hand. Qiu Zhen clutched the man’s first firmly.
“I-impossible! Let my hand go.”
Qiu Zhen let the man’s hand go, and spent around fast throwing a palm strike at the man's chest. Boom! The palm strike blew the man back several meters, but he was still standing.
Standing up the man glared at Qiu Zhen with murderous intent in his eyes, suddenly he started coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, until he collapsed.
Qiu Zhen turned his head and looked at Ye Fa. “So, i’m guessing your next?”
Three chapters in one day, and still have plenty of time to write up another one. Getting closer to meeting her ~

To Play With Magic
My name is Alexis Everette. I'm the only daughter of Earth's greatest hero. My dad is a normal man, but he's still my greatest hero. While he may be normal, I can bend the elements to my whim and have power over space and time. Of course, that's who I am at the end of the story. There's a lot I have to go through to get there. And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

Runtime Error
Surprisingly, in the fantasy LitRPG genre. A girls death forms the foundation for a plan centuries in the making. But when she shakes off their control, and forces the plans of beings millenia old to change, can she avoid being tied up as a loose end? With only what she could take with her in her mind, and a new body with surprising depths, she begins her new life in a world unlike her own. This is my first writing project in almost a decade, so there is going to be a lot of improvements from me as I shake off the rust. And of course, as the world I'm creating comes to life! So if you like the concept, please bear with me, and hopefully I'll reach the high standards I know you have. Edit (04/04/2018): Witness the power of my complete lack of any artistic talent! There is now cover art for this fiction. Its just barely better than the default, but hey, minimalism is in, right?

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Ether mage
Everyone is born with mana. Some people are born with more. Some are born with less. If they practice enough, they can improve those numbers, but if you don't even have enough to practice with, there isn't much you can do. Everyone is also born with ether. It is useful, but can't power any spells by itself. It only gives them shape. You don't normally need much ether. It is nice to be able to summon swords out of thin air, but not really that useful ability in a peaceful country, where enchanted items are so cheap. For people born with bigger ether pool, there isn't much to do except double their efforts to get more mana. Or reach out for a forbidden power...
