《Nano Mage》Chapter 14 Object of affection
Advertisement
I rammed my head against a tree. (Why has this happened?) After being kissed by Roaming Thunder and Shadow Void, I ran off in order to think. When I say ran off, it would be the equivalent of dimensional travel from one village to two villages over. I will not have to worry about any of them coming after me. The tree flew forwards knocking the trees behind over like dominoes.
My hair stood up, and the trees I knocked over now floated. The uprooted soil started to sink back down, I dropped the trees in. Using earth magic I created more nutrients for the trees. (Oh they seem to be a little dry to!) Small rain clouds hovered over each tree, with a snap off my fingers the rain began to fall.
While replanting the trees it did not occur to me what I had just achieved. It would be a while before came to realize my feat, and even longer before I knew no one else in this world could copy it.
“That should do!” (Those trees seem better than new!) I was wondering what to do, there was no way I was ready to go back to the campsite, after all I was still pretty embarrassed. I watched as a squirrel ran by. (Okay lets do some target practice!) I covered my hand in a thin layer of ice, and then sent it flying to the squirrel. The result? A squirrel-a-pop.
Roaming Thunder
For some reason I felt really uneasy the moment Sylphire kissed Autumn. My hand moved on its own, and it was slamming into her head. At the same time my hand felt resistance against it . Shadow Void’s hand was next to mine in the same moment. “What was that sound just now?” “Nothing!” I respond, but my voice is overlapped with Shadow Void. “Ouch!” Hearing Sylphire in pain I turn my gaze to the cause. My feat are currently bear, and I felt something warm and wet touch my feet. I look down. (Blood?) My heart starts beating wildly.

“Kill it before it kills us!” (What did you just say Edge?) My whole body crackles with an electric current. Next to me Shadow Void is also covered in an aura of Shadow. We attack Edge in unison. My lightning making his shadows more vibrant. Once he was knocked out, I went to think of the events that just occurred. Autumn was kissed by Sylphire, for some reason I punched her, Edge tried to attack him, we stopped him, but he was right to be afraid, after all Sylphire took out a dragon by himself.
“I want to kiss him as well.” I listened to Shadow Void’s words and nodded. (Wait what?) “No I will be the one to kiss him!” (What did I just say?) This guy irritates me, but I can not understand why. On the other hand Sylphire makes me feel exited and calm in the same moment. (Why?)
Making our way back to Sylphire we notice Silver pocking him with ice magic. (Wait if you keep that up he might kiss you as well!) I glance at Shadow Void, and then we both rush over. We push Silver aside, but we struggle to get the other away. I am push slightly to the side. I watch in horror as Shadow Void kisses Sylphire. I mange to push him away and Kiss Sylphire myself. A few moments latter Sylphire had a blank look on his face, then he took off. He was like a blur.
Currently I was walking back and forth, which caused the soil beneath my feet to form a deep grove. (Wait could it be I like Sylphire?)
Shadow Void
The moment the dragon appeared I felt happy. Finally I will know if my theory is right about Sylphire. If he is truly part dragon then I will be able to calm it down. I do not recall what everyone else said, but Sylphire said something that made me really disappointed. “No, we will beat it!” (So he is not part dragon after all!) We followed his orders. It would be better not to die from a dragon. The moment the dragon bit his arm something snapped inside him.

I watched the unbelievable feat I was witnessing in astonishment. First he twisted one of the dragon’s paws. (Were those not crazy durable? They could shatter mythril after all!) In the next few seconds I hard some kind of impact. The dragon now had a dent in its cheek. (Huh? The dragons jaws are as tough as space chunks.) Space chunks fall from the sky from time to time. People from the mythic continent had a different name from them though. Meter-rights or something. The dragon opened it mouth wide over Sylphire’s head. Like everyone else in that instant I screamed, but instead of having his head chopped of he plucked the dragon’s tooth out. Even though my theory was proven wrong I felt a deeper affection for this man.
I once heard a rumor that a woman could take a man’s strength using their affection. It was than that I decided I wanted the power he posses. I got worried when I seen Sylphire giving his affection to Autumn, but she did not look any stronger so I just ignored it. Although to make sure I hit her with my fist. She fell unconscious immediately.
I am not sure why I told Roaming Thunder, but she now knew I wanted to kiss Sylphire. We fought over him, it seemed she also wanted to take his power for her own. Neither of us would let Silver have a chance. I kissed him but nothing changed. (Why did it not work?)
Sylphire
I looked at the field of frozen squirrels and decided to head back to the campsite. I had finally calmed down. Half way there I stopped in my tracks. “Syncing with audio has been complete, network established.” A familiar song blasted in my ear drums. “Stop right now, Thank you very much.” I was trying not to sing along. Why was there suddenly music from the nineties playing from my body?

Transdimensional Marketing
I am merely a reviewer, albeit the products I review are slightly different. For example, I review quantum computers, artificial intelligence, anti-gravity mech armor, planetary engines, sublight colonial ships, stellar detonators, etc… Chen Yu: “The technological product I bring to everyone for today’s episode is—a dual-vector foil! W-Wait! Everyone, please calm down! Let me explain…”
8 1070Awakened Cheater
Adam Kodak was pulling an all-nighter in his dormitory, playing video games. After finishing it and getting all the trophies, he did the thing he always does and beat it again with cheats, that was the thing he enjoyed most. As he was getting ready for bed he muttered under his breath "Man I wish I could cheat in real life." That was the moment his life changed as what seemed to be a bright star, shined and dimmed above the building he was in. Wish Granted Activating Cheat Mode "What The F..."

8 207New God
Who said being a God was easy. If you started omniscient; omnipotent and omnipresent then it might be. However, without those powers it would be a different story entirely. This is that story. Adam is thrown into a new world with no choice and no instructions. At least he is a God, whatever that means... Lovely Royal Road readers: Imagine a tutorial with no instructions and no idea what the game was meant to be and what you are trying to achieve. All you know is that you are a God (whatever that means). So this is quite slow to start; mainly world building for me; a bit of base building by the MC and some good old minion development. I'm developing/practicing my writing and love the format of RR to get it out of my head. So hopefully it gets better with time as I get better. All feedback welcome - but please critique and tell me why you don't like it (if you don't) I'd rather a 1-star review than a 2-star(plus) rating!
8 177Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
8 176Continuity
I’m writing this all down because I don’t know what else to do with it. This whole experience has been so completely insane that I must record it so people in the future can understand what is going on. Maybe someday someone else can make sense of it. Maybe that person is you, I have no idea. JR awakens from a dream to find that he is late for work! When he tries to call in, he realizes that something is not right. That’s when his friend and co-worker, Frank, calls him and informs him of what just happened to their workplace. JR finds himself in a world that grows increasingly surreal with every passing day. There are basic facts about himself are missing from his memory. When was his birthday again? Taking place in Chicago in the near future, strange buildings, strange events and stranger people populate this world on the other side of the looking glass. JR is left to struggle with his new job and new surroundings, but luckily his old friend Frank is still there to help guide him. He makes many friends who have interesting takes on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. First alerted by Frank, JR slowly becomes aware of a danger lurking in the background that is gradually spreading despite the fact that no one else seems to notice it or acknowledge that he might be on to something. All of this combines to make the novel Continuity about fear, anxiety and paranoia in a perplexing world that seems to be both real and not real at the same time. Rumored to be about 15 chapters and less than 200 pages the novel is written in a first person perspective that breaks the forth wall and will either leave you laughing with delight or scratching your head in confusion, or maybe both!? The one thing it won’t be is boring!
