《Nano Mage》Chapter 9 Roaming Thunder’s legendary victory
Advertisement
Tina suddenly grasped my hand. “To think I would see one of the legendary spells in my life time. Thank you Sylphire!” Why was she thanking me? Tina grip swiftly loosened, the wolf’s gaze began to burrow through Tina’s body, was Roaming Thunder angry about something?
Those tears and screams now vanished, replaced with cheers and claps. After prying its eyes off of Tina, the wolf began to dash towards Shadow Void. It was like watching a lion catch its prey. It was gone in a flash, now pressing its sharp claws into Shadow Void.
I could see Shadow Void’s discomfort. Not only was a huge weight pressing down on his stomach, but the being also sent thousand of volts there using its claws. Every swing caused Shadow Void’s arms to violently spasm.
“Oh Queen of the Void, give away your breath. From the shadows you rise once more. Eternal maiden!” I could barely make out Shadow Void’s words. If I had so much trouble to hear it, then I doubt it was possible for anyone to hear.
A figure of a woman began to form in front of Shadow Void. Wild long flowing hair constructed of shadow, piercing red eyes, which made my heart stop briefly, and a smooth waist.
That figure floated towards Roaming Thunder. It was just like something out of those bad vampire moves. It even had fangs extending out from its jaw. These fangs clasped the area of her neck where the shadow bat from earlier had bitten. A Loud scream, which made me think of a woman being kidnapped by a group of men, had been released from the small body of Roaming Thunder. (Is that what Subject 32 sounded like when she had been taken?) Not good, I just thought of something I would rather forget. The irony was I would give anything to remember my original name, or even the faces of my parents. Did I have siblings? It was so weird having only fragments of memories.

The lightning wolf began to blink in and out off existence. Roaming Thunder seemed to be losing focus from the pain. Bending down, she picks up a piece of glass, which had been formed when the lightning wolf had dashed forwards earlier. After holding it for only a minute, Roaming Thunder let go. The shard began to float in mid air.
The small piece of crystallized sand was now directly between the two. A bolt of electricity was fired from Roaming Thunder’s finger tip. That bolt split in five as it collided with the floating shard, creating a star pattern. The shard shattered, and each piece zoomed forwards, arriving at Shadow Void’s left eye.
Blood splattered every where. Unable to bear the pain, Shadow Void pulls out his eye. I throw up on Tina’s lap, in turn she does the same to mine. Aqua Mirror approaches us, and then offers to clean our clothing with his magic. We both agree. “How can anyone do that?” “I. Belch.” Tina throws up again next to her stump. “I do not know.”
“How dare you!” Shadow Void’s tone causing many people to suddenly shake. Roaming Thunder is about to respond, but she quickly looks away. This only provokes him more. I am the first to notice it. She did not look away because she wanted to. Like Tina and I, she was currently throwing up. The smell started to roam the whole stadium. This caused the rest of the people to throw up as well. The only ones not throwing up were Tina and I. Our stomachs could not do so anymore.
I say everyone, but there is one exception. Shadow Void is to busy with pain to react to the smell. He is now in a blind rage. Excuse the pun. Fist start to fly at Roaming Thunder. Both miss her, and then he slips on her puke, and falls unconscious.

“This years number 1 from the first block, Roaming Thunder!” Roaming Thunder takes a bow. “That concludes the tournament. Everyone but the top three please immediately leave the premises. You are welcome to try again next year.” Tina glanced in my direction, and then silently walked away.
After coming to, the teachers used healing magic to reattach, and then fix Shadow Void’s eye. Shadow Void did not have words to express what he was feeling at the moment. It just so happened that upon leaving, one of the failing members mentioned the event of the finals. Which created a certain nickname for Roaming Thunder.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 69To Forge a New Dawn

One spark ignites the flame that will consume the world. As the scribe unites an army to topple an empire, he gains followers whose loyalty and ambition will outlast his own. This is a tale not only of ascension, but of the order and turmoil that flourish in the wake of a revolutionary. Five paths intersect under the scribe’s vision of a new order, driving the ebb and flow of power throughout the land. Cover art by Fuyu Dust.

Imagine being given a second chance at life. Not only that but with a life you chose (sort of). This is exactly the situation that our character is in. He was once a Biology Graduate Student involved in a special program in Alaska studying Polar Bears. In an ironic twist of fate his life is ended by exactly that which he was trying to study. Now, in a new world, he refuses to be anything but the top of the food chain. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a story I began writing a year and a half ago and decided to shelf, I'm coming back to it now because I miss writing; however, I have not carved out any time specifically for this and, as of now, it will be something I do on the side for fun. Currently I have 9 chapters plus a prologue written; I'm going to be going through and editting it to be in a present tense (from past), as well as changing some of the story and grammar. Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.
8 77Scum in Another World
I may have finished my goal in my previous world, but something unexpected happened. I am now in another participating a war game hosted by angels not from my world. Maybe I should have gotten hit by a truck or something. Note: My english isn't perfect. I might learn something if people would kindly point it out. Thanks for reading this trash story about trash MC doing his trashy things.
