《Nano Mage》Chapter 13 Quarrel
Advertisement
My heart was throbbing wildly. (How should I answer?) While I was thinking that Shadow Void butted in.”Leave him alone!” His hand was covered in a layer of shadow and he began to make a fist. Roaming Thunder was completely silent. She had a bewildered expression on her face. Her eyes kept altering between blinking repeatedly, and not blinking at all. Autumn’s expression mad chills run down my spine. (Where have I seen that look before?) Sharp swords were constructed and now floated around edge. These weapons were inching closer to me with each passing second. Silver was slowly backing away, and as she did, the grass was being coated in a thin layer of frost.
I breathed in to calm my nerves. While taking in my breath, everyone else stopped theirs. Everyone but Shadow Void that is. “It was an adrenalin rush.” I blurted out the fist thing that came to mind. No one but that. “Um lets take the dragon corpse and go back to the campsite.” Even with them in this state of mind, it was better to do something to get their minds off it for a little while at least.
Slowly we dragged the dragon’s corpse back to our camping site. “Should we move way from the mountain?” Shadow Void asked everyone. “How about we move away from Sylphire?” Shadow Void slapped Silver across the cheek, while coating his hand in a thin layer of Shadow. “He is our comrade, and he also just saved our lives.” Roaming Thunder has yet to say a word, and just keeps staring at me. She stared at me before, but this feels different. Edge is giving off an aura of a murderer. As for Autumn? (Wait where is Autumn?) I have a very bad feeling.

Autumn
(Why is a dragon here?) As I wondered this Sylphire began to give out orders. I complied to these orders. What he was saying made a lot of sense. The battle was going relatively well, until it took a bad turn, at least that is what should have happened. After having his arm bitten, Sylphire suddenly changed. I heard a cracking as he twisted one of the dragons arms. (That is not possible?) The next thing I knew the dragon had a huge dent in its check. In the next couple of minutes I felt something warm and wet land on my dress. My blue dress was now turning purple. Earlier I heard some sort of grinding noise. (Wait this is blood!) The dragon suddenly collapsed to the ground. Staring at the dragon and then back to Sylphire I asked. “Sylphire just what are you?” My question was harmonized by the voices of the others asking the same question.
While everyone was quarreling, I was deep in thought. I was recalling the days back in the tamers valley. Sometimes we would find an unusual monster. We would study its strength by sending in strong beast to see how it would fair. Some displayed remarkable skills. I remember there was a wolf who after fighting with a thunder bird learned to use lightning magic. (What would Sylphire be capable of if pushed?) I smirk crept along my face as I was thinking this. Was it my imagination or did Sylphire just shutter as I was thinking this?
Currently I wanted to test out that Idea. I would not try to find another dragon, that would just end my life. (A here it is!)
Sylphire
I could hear something far off in the distance. (Was someone running?) It sounded like footsteps, but there were six of them. Four lumped together, and two ahead of it. “Help thunder boar!” Autumn was running towards the campsite. I front of my eyes was a boar, but it had a horn like a rhino, that horn was in the shape of a blade. As specks of purple began to cover it, I began to feel dizzy. In the next instant lightning shot into the sky, then I passed out.

When I woke up Autumn was leaning over my face. In the next instant I did something unexpected, I kissed her. Her face became bright red. After hearing a strange sound,Autumn was suddenly unconscious. Behind her stood Shadow Void and Roaming Thunder. “What was that sound just now?” The two of them responded. “Nothing!” “Ouch!” A slight pain like a mosquito bite made its way to my neck. A large pool of blood started to form near my body. “Kill it before it kills us!” Edge was saying something strange. As a flood of black and purple engulfed the area around Edge, I once again passed out.
I woke up again, but next to me were to unconscious people. Edge and Autumn. (Autumn still hasn’t woken up yet huh?) Wait why does my nose feel cold? Looking around I noticed Silver who was currently poking my body. Each place she pocked I felt a winter chill. (Oh frost magic!)
Silver was shoved to the side by both Shadow Void and Roaming Thunder. They each leaned in closer while trying to push the other aside. A sudden tingle vibrated on my lips. (Huh?) the first one felt uncomfortable, but the second seemed more natural. It was then that I clued in. They both just kissed me.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story. Cover art was done by: Micaiah William If you'd like to consider supporting my work, there is a link to my Patreon.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill
My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey". Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care? Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me. So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.
