《Aliad [Dropped]》Memories of the Past - The Betrayed
Advertisement
Hello everyone, here's the next side story and hope you enjoy it. Also it seems that I still have one more day of break so the slow pace won't happen until after tomorrow. Hope you all enjoy this side story.
-----------------
There once was a time when seven beings appeared. One of them was called Ongarin, the God of creation, truth and wisdom. The place they appeared in was silent and dark.
In his infinite wisdom, he ordered his fellow beings to create a world to fill this darkness. And so they did and they named it Arun. It consisted of one large continent and many smaller ones surrounding it.
Though they created the world, it was empty and devoid of life. And so, under Julia, the Goddess of life, reproduction and healing, life itself was introduced into the world.
Humans, Elves, and Dwarves lived for a time. After a while, the God of war, death and passion, became bored and so created his favored race, the beastmen.
These beastmen ravaged the lands of the humans, elves and dwarves and upon seeing their plight. The God of magic, creativity, and intellect introduced the power of magic.
With newfound powers, they were able to fight back the beastmen and subdued them. Upon seeing such fun, Finda, the Goddess of luck, trials and tribulations forced the world into a large trial.
This trial caused the world to change and many other events to happen. The world split into five large continents and six oceans. The Elves became High Elves, Dark Elves and Blood Elves.
The Dwarves who were above the ground became Dark Dwarves while those below became Stone Dwarves. Some were able to remain as they were and were simply known from then on as Dwarves.
The humans that lived in the mountains grew wings to fly with. Those in the forests became part of the beastmen that they subdued. They created many different tribes ranging from the docile rabbitmen to the ferocious tigermen. Of course some humans stayed as humans as they lived in the plains among themselves.

The most curious effect though, is the dragon race. Interference caused by Finda caused some dragons to become much stronger and be sentient. Dragons at the time were considered as large beasts but now no longer.
There were few of them though so they lived in seclusion and in hiding. These were the races caused by the mischievous Finda. Who caused the continents and the oceans to remain as they are now.
The northern continent is known as the Ice Front, an everlasting frozen wasteland, it harbored beasts of unimaginable size and mountains of extreme cold. This land became the favored home of the dragons.
The eastern continent is known as the Plani continent. A mountainous and rugged land where the lesser and greater dragons reside along with the winged humans, Blood elves, and Stone Dwarves.
The western continent is known as the Asura continent. A massive jungle land where a threat is always behind you. Humans, Dark Elves and the Dwarves live here.
The central continent is known as the Lunaria continent. A land for all climates. A desert, thousands of islands, snowy peaks and pleasant plains. Most of the humans live here along with the greatest of the dwarven holds and the high elves.
The southern contient is known as the Junx continent. It is a mysterious land surrounded by shadow and darkness. A land touched by &%& as it was his resting place.
Oh yes, &%&, the God of Power, Destruction and Ambition. A story that took place after the creation of Arun.
It is said that he coveted the throne of Ongarin. Which god or goddess said so is lost in time.
When Ongarin heard this, even if it was a rumor, it was enough. Ongarin confronted &%& and attempted to kill him. Sadly, a God cannot be killed by another God.

The most he could do was scatter his remains. As luck or as Finda would have it, &%&’s remains landed on Junx and it became as it is now. A land shrouded in darkness.
And so it was said that the world was removed of an evil God.
But little did they know that &%& had left something for the world and to the Gods themselves.
&%& vowed to find the one responsible for his death. &%& was Ongarin’s sibling afterall. They were inseparable and whoever manipulated Ongarin was to be killed for Ongarin would never do this to his sibling.
And so he sent his messengers, the Ravenex, birds with two heads, six wings and twelve tails, to search for clues to find whoever manipulated Ongarin.
Alas, the unknown hand maneuvered and slaughtered them all.
Having nothing to do but to gather power he looked for another way and saw it. A light from some distance. &%& knew that there was someplace in Arun that just had that same light only dimmer.
&%& used his whole power to bring that bright light towards the dimmer one and fused them together. Satisfied, &%& slumbered and could only hope that what was done would work.
That child would grow powerful and find the unknown hand for that hand was not a god’s.
Who then among the pantheon is actually a devil?

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
8 198Blood and Soul
Our realm has always been split into two: Those from the old world.And those from the new. When a deadly and magical plague created yet another caste in our realm, those of the new world thought it a punishment from the gods for their destruction and abandonment of their roots, but those in the old world knew the truth. That was to be the beginning of a long and drawn out war between creatures that have roamed the realm for centuries and monsters that never should have came into being.
8 181Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
