《Reversion》Prologue - Arrival
Advertisement
It is the 31st day since the Moon turned blue, an event never before observed in recorded history. The changing color has brought about several changes to the world and toppled the status quo.
The city of Constine was at the heart of the world's immediate responses to these tumultuous changes. The free city of knowledge was playing host to an unprecedented council of some of the world's major powers - the Kingdom Conclave.
Inside the Constine parliament an unprecedented event was taking place where rulers and elected leaders were representing their nations in an important political discussion. They were coming to terms with a simple realization.
"We are not alone! With the rise of the Blue Moon we have been made aware of the existence of Worlds other than ours beyond the heavens, beyond distance! In this historical moment I, the Ambassador of Constine, am humbled to convene this first ever Kingdom Conclave to shape our response!"
Following the introduction by the Constine representative, each representative made their case regarding the mechanism of response.
"We must welcome them with open arms, foster trade and learn from them the knowledge to travel these far places. We must avoid conflict with people whose abilities we cannot fathom."
"I refuse to believe the existence of worlds beyond the heavens. These blasphemers must be put to trial and executed. It is certainly a plot..."
... The arguments continued along these two similar lines, some engaging in demagoguery while others remaining pessimistic and even cautiously optimistic. The tense air now imbued an element of chaos as rise of new worlds was an immediate threat to the very existence of the political status quo.
"How can we provide entry to beings into our lands when we know nothing about them? We don't even know how many there are! How have they appeared here? The feats of those beings is already beyond what we can even imagine possible...."

Interrupting the valid points and counter points being made and stunning the chaos into silence was the appearance of 10 people hovering in the air, wearing armor and weaponry clearly not from this world. Oppressive auras emanating on purpose, a man speaks, in a cold but empathetic voice layered with honey.
"Our lords here speak about some extremely prudent things. I think we have displayed our capabilities quite well enough, but in case the creation of the artificial barriers isn't enough, let me provide you with some appetizers."
Suddenly the Parliamentary senate began trembling as if swaying during an earthquake. The huge dome suddenly begins floating away and all the bewildered rulers suddenly find it difficult to stand as their weight increases beyond belief until they end unbowing subserviently towards these powerful representatives of this foreign world that made contact through them.
The Senate turned to dust as the bustling city no longer existed and was replaced by the twinkling stars of the heavens.
"Incredible.."
"If you hold such power... What chance do we have?"
As they marvelled at the sight of the heavens and the feeling of being swept into it they suddenly see the distant gaze of that mysterious man and turn to look. They are in the upper reaches of the sky, just touching the heavens, while those 10 people, 10 gods smirked as the kings saw with incredulous eyes bulging out of their sockets the gruesome sight of their world's destruction. Volcano flows through large cities and Tsunamis trample over others. Powerful storms uproot civilizations and earthquakes destroy every trace of life on the planet. Just as they were about to sink into the abyss of despair, the causal man nods and snaps his right fingers.
"Ok, that should be good enough to tell you grandchildren eh?"

As he said so everything around the Kingdom Conclave started retracing their steps, healing the destruction,turning back time.
"So you see, we people of Earth, are more than capable of destroying worlds individually. The most powerful among us that is. However that is not what we want. Nor do we want to take over your world by force. We have simply arrived to enforce the Procedural Laws that will now order this world. There will be many changes... Adventurers from our world will arrive to journey across your lands."
"Procedural Laws?"
"Adventurers?.."
"Adventurers would start just as ordinary as you folks here. You can do whatever you like with them once you accept the new Law. Of course helping adventurers would be beneficial for your own stupid turf wars after all!"
That powerful man with golden hair, a silver knights armor that is veiled in yellow energy then lays down a huge scroll with unknown characters in it.
"So the details of the laws... You can read it when you have time or I can teach you quickly!"
The other guardians now appeared to be bored and began yawning.
The rulers quickly agreed once they instantaneously realized the contents of the laws. Their minds dizzy with speculation. This crisis was an opportunity!

This Used to be About Dungeons
This Used to be About Dungeons is a comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Mostly it's about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, or haggling with the guy selling squash, or taking care of a neglected garden. It's putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, or disarm traps, but when you come out, you realize you've found the perfect magic item to give to one of the local kids that helped you out when your cat was sick. Look, the dungeons are always going to be there, and sometimes you need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates, or make a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. Your tour through the local dungeons can wait. You'll have rivalries with other groups, and find some dungeon eggs that need to be carefully incubated in case they turn out to be something valuable, and help a friend to build a fishing weir. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic, and even more to do and see. Join me, won't you?The cover image is Morning Sunlight Effect, Eragny, by Camille Pissarro.

8 184Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
