《Eternal Pheonix》Side Story: The World of Asriq
Advertisement
"Nobody knows how the near infinite realms and universes came to be...
Well, maybe a few beings might know.
These ancient beings are the primordial kings of the universe.
They are old as the most ancient realms and the multiverse itself, anything they dictate can be said as to be law.
There are all together 7 of these beings, one for each of the elements.
They roam through planet after planet doing seeking entertainment.
The most infamous of these beings... Phoenix... This being lords of fire, and, like his name suggests...
Uses a unique method to travel.
Instead of using his insane speed which practically lets him teleport, he chooses to reincarnate.
The most likely reason?
He is bored. Ok?
Now kids, let's start doing some maths!"
"Nooo..." Groans from 15 odd children can be heard in a room with walls that glisten and reflect some sunlight that bounce off from its polished white surface.
All the teacher can do is sigh and resign to his fate of teaching a group of ignorant kids for the rest of the afternoon
Fenixes mind drifts off.
He always enjoys learning (finds amusing) what little the people know of him and his old friends- in every life, but he can't help but laugh at his poor luck, "Haaah" he also sighs in resignation.
"To be born into such a young planet...
This, in my last world does not even need to be taught, it's basic knowledge.
Well, at least it has magic, and the technology isn't too bad."
He mumbles to himself as he looks at the supposedly advanced question on the bored that they might be able to answer if they were successful in the future.
The teacher, Mr Sinnil, an elf seemed to have caught him mumbling and asks him to do the question on the board, the question was, in Sinnil's eyes, thought to be impossible for him to do, and was supposed to encourage the kids to revise for the upcoming exam and scare them.
Looking at Fenix go up to the board with pride, he couldn't help but laugh in his mind.
"Haha, Young Fenix, you have much to learn..."
But then Fenix, just casually answered a problem that even professors and Doctors would need to think twice about. Sinnil typed in the question on his portable hologram and founder the answer to be correct, not only that he did it under 10 seconds.
(an: yes, in Fenixes eyes the technology is rather low, as he has been to God knows how many planets).

Mr Sinnil's eyes widen "you... Do this one!" He shouts.
"You better not cheat boy!"
Sinnil throws another extremely advanced question at him, Fenix just casually looks at the question...
A few seconds later the whole answer including method was written on the board.
"You... Fenix wasn't it? Stay back after school, I want to speak with you"
"Now..." Mr Sinnil continues "for some geography, let's start with some basics!
As you all know there are 5 continents in our world of Asriq.
The two biggest continents: the magic continent and the dragon continent, the magic continent is home to the elf variant race, such as the wood elf, dark elf and high elf, it also houses the dwarves up the mountains and the fairy race deep in the forest, the empire that rules the magic continent peacefully is the magic empire!
The magic continent is only half explored and that half is the size of the human and demon continent, this can suggest that there are many unidentified races to be discovered.
The dragon continent is home to the dragons, the guardian of the continent is the dragon emperor that rules over the 4 dragon kings of the North, East, west and south.
It is home to incredible amount of treasures and dungeons and is far larger than even the magic continent, the dragons make sure that the incredibly powerful beasts don't leave their certain areas, they even sent some of their own kin over to each respectful continent so that the more powerful beasts don't wreak havoc.
The dragon continent probably takes up half of the land in the world.
There is also the demon continent, the human continent and the beast continent.
The demon continent is home to the demons, Devils and demonic beasts, the human continent is home to the humans and the beast continent is home to the beast man with its variety of tribes, each with their unique traits, a huge, nearly infinite variety of monster and beasts also roam around each land.
Each continent is very large and has an empire that is made from at least 100 kingdoms and tribes!
This of course means internal struggle, then there is also academy island.
The most powerful academy; where not only students, but disciples and masters choose to train peacefully; in Zenos magic and Ki academy, it is classed to be part of the human continent, as the founder is a human but many races still come to learn, even royalty such as the emperors visits!

Each empire also has a capital kingdom for example, we are in the capital city of the capital Kingdom of the human empire.
They are just called the human capital, or for the demon empire, the capital Kingdom is called the demon capital respectfully.
There is no war between empires because of the dragons even the thought has stopped since dragons can transform into humanoids and spy, but this doesn't stop enmity and each empire wants to recruit the best.
It also doesn't stop internal struggles against kingdoms within each empire against themselves, since there are so many kingdoms and tribes there is often war, be it for land, recourses or power.
They usually fight for power since the land is vast and the technology we have now practically gives us unlimited recourses when fused with magic.
Class is dismissed!"
As the bell rings the kids run out, screaming incoherent things such as "freedom!" and what not.
As a noble, intelligent being Fenix couldn't help but describe them as 'pitiable little monsters', he describes them as monsters not because he thinks of them in any discriminative or inferior way...
Well maybe slightly inferior...
But mainly because he knows how cruel children can be, not only to people different to them, such as a different race- but even to their own kin, they have to make a hierarchy and bully the kids at the bottom, making their lives a living hell. Of course, Fenix rarely went through such things as the last kid that provoked him went home crying with a bloody nose.
"They take after their parents..."
As Fenix was thinking of this, Mr Sinnil comes behind him and coughs, to try get his attention, but fails miserably, as Fenix is lost in his own world of thoughts, he just gives up coughing as he thinks it is bad for his age as he is around nearly 500 years old.
A general beings life span In the multiverse depends on their training and someone without any training can live to 200 years at most.
" Hello Fenix, you know... I actually work part time here, since it's my home city and the capital I only come during my holidays, I actually work in Zenos Magic and Ki academy which has its own island, I think, even though you haven't done your magic aptitude exam yet, you will be excepted because of your high theoretical knowledge and intelligence, so I, as vice master of the academy would like to invite you- the condition is that you will have to join my house, Pheonix, haha goes well with your name doesn't it? What do you say?" Mr Sinnil asks in a surprisingly soft manner.
"Hmmm... Before I accept, I would like to know what your houses expertise is in, as I believe each house belongs to a department and if you join one you will still be able to goto other classes but you will get limited access to different equipment for the class and have less hours." Fenix asks in a manner you wouldn't expect from a 9 year old.
"Ah, yes you are well informed, well, I will tell you this... my house is special. It is the magic and technology department, we only allow geniuses with talent like your selves in, if you graduate you will be able to make mecha, or even pilot one to become a mecha knight or rider." Mr Sinnil replies enthusiastically.
"I myself , am an elite mecha rider,some say I'm second only to head master in our continent." Said the professor.
Fenix couldn't help but smile for a brief moment, but then gathered back his usual demeanour and composure of a cold but humble boy with knowledge beyond his years.
"I'm sorry sir, but you will have to wait and see if I go in as I don't want yo feel like I got in with a special method, or else everyone will judge me thing unruly of me, so can I humbly decline your offer and try join using my own power, through the magic and Ki aptitude exam, I would need a sufficient amount of mana and power to pilot a mecha anyway." Replied Fenix.
Mr Sinnil was initially shocked, but then gathered his composure and said;
"Hmmm, either way you're coming in with a scholar ship, I like the way you think of everyone as equal although you are far more intelligent than anyone here, you will make a great knight or adventurer, hahahaha! Cya at the aptitude exam kid!"
Mr Sinnil, as one of the strongest magicians and Ki refiners in the whole of the human continent chooses to recruit and check for talent personally, as he values talent and the next generation and wants to preserve the strength of the human empire.

Overwrite
In a future where people still work 9-5 jobs and students wrangle with their unpayable debts, virtual reality has become an everyday activity. Ryu, a typical teenage boy with not-so unique interests, is unnaturally average, and, unfortunately for him, this extends to the virtual world. However, where some would say “work harder,” Ryu says “work less,” and so he cheats. Or at least he tries.

Gaia Ark
Commander Coop, a four-armed, power-armored, super-soldier, undertakes a mission to assassinate the head of a religious cult bent on destroying the UPSF and everyone they protect. But no mission is ever that simple. GAIA ARK is an action adventure hero's journey featuring a cranky cyborg, vampiric sword, alien monsters, and enough self-discovery to provide a character arc. It's a little rough around the edges, a little crude. I started writing this story on November 2, 2018. This story is mid-composition. Please expect clunky prose, notes [in brackets], and incomplete...

Hayato Ichiharu was an assassin who boasted a rate of success of 100%. A king of assassins called [Psychotic fox] and a figure that struck fear even in the veterans of killers and wars. A figure no one has ever seen, not even his middleman who gave him the contracts, that has acted against corruption and sins. A virtuous assassin that never killed children, women or the elderly unless they were corrupting the nation he served. Now, after 10 years of service, Hayato [Psychotic fox] Ichiharu had finished his last job and is now trying to live a normal life as a normal university student who plays an online game called [Kismet online] and living with his family whom he had been separated from long ago. Trying being the key word because as soon as Hayato was in [K.O] he and every other player online were ‘transported' into [Kismet] by a religious cult that wanted to try and enter virtual reality.After reading the rest of what 10 year old me had written: i had came to a conclusion that it had too many plotholes, unexplained important information and a lack in character behaiviour so i have re-written the entire story and so a lot of things have changed compared to the first one i have posted.
