《Invictus》Chapter 3 - What's Missing
Advertisement
Yeah, hey peeps I tweaked chapter2.3 a little, little, my head hurts from all the mistakes, I can't you guys had to put up with that whatever, well without further ado here's Thalia, happy reading :D
-Love Author
==================================
We both walked down different paths diverging from 'The Tipsy Pig', The feeling in ny gut didn't feel better as us twins separate further and further away from each other, I jut couldn't help it, I wanted to see a glimpse of Leoth before I get through 5 days without him
For a few seconds I walked down my supposed road, vendors lined up on the sidewalk, their stalls filled with numerous goods, jewels and clothes and other stuff I'd want Leoth to buy for me, I wanted to spend more time with him, get to know more of what changed between us and laugh about how this separation thing feels weird
I turned around, hoping he would too, alas, all I saw was his back facing me as his figure running off to a sprint as he slowly faded away into the crowd, the feeling hurt, why couldn't we just be inseparable, if slicing our personality in half means we'll never see each other again, then I'd rather we stayed as the duo-personality Leoth that I've come to be and love
Behind me the road stretched so far ahead, like it wanted me to be the farthest to myself, the only good thing I see on this road is that a vendor's shop became popular just because of some woman earlier
Whatever...
Let's just get all this over with, the faster I complete my request, the quicker I'll get to see Leoth and visit him for his work, I trudge on further for a few minutes and what lay ahead of me was a tall tower, coincidentally there was a sign that hung above the door, a picture of a potion bottle with a rune written on the label, the tower was built mainly on cobble stone with a few mismatching bricks here and there, a single window near the peak hung open with smoke of different hues hissing out
I entered the tower, the door hit a bell with a chime, probably to let the owner know about guest or intruders, the place was rather cramped, a spiral staircase and some file cabinets that blocked the rest of the 1st floor giving only enough space for a person to wall from the front to to the stairs.
The second floor was a little more pleasant, it looked like a library, a few bookshelves that were arranged as a hexagon with a side missing, within it lay a coffee table, some bean bags and an iguana inside a glasstank

The third floor contained numerous cages, all covered by a white cloth, you could her various hisses, cackle, scratching and howls within each one, I kinda got scared and power-walked upstairs to to the next floor
A bedroom, quite plain just a doublesized bed, couch, coffeemaker and a separate room that looks like a bathroom, it had a lot of underwear hanging inside it, welp moving on
The 4th one was an office on one side, a desk with cluttered files and books, trashbin and bookshelf and on the other side was an alchemy lab, bottles, vials and pots, potions of different colors and then there was one potion that was a swirling mass of gold and silver in a bottle
I took it in my hands and kinda smelled it, a scent of oranges and maybe milk? it kind of reminds me of the time We tried to make hot chocolate but instead of actual chocolate we accidentally took and poured orange juice into the glass of milk, sigh* I miss Leoth, my vision slowly and surely turned pink, my balance wavered and caused me to stumble side by side, I wanted someone to keep me company, lets take more whiffs out of that silver and gold blend
"What the Fuck!"
A girl wearing an apron screamed, the basket she was holding was immediately set aside on the nearby desk, she ran toward me and yanked the orange-milk thing in my hand, I wondered whether it was Leoth cosplaying as a girl gardener, her face showed up in my view, silky smooth skin that would make any girl jealous, her lips soft and devilishly hot and eyes that would entrance any male
one word popped out of my dizzy mine
'Competition'
"I won't make her meet my Leoth!"
did I say that out loud?, no she would've reacted instead she's taking out some kind of syringe and stabbed me with it in neck
did I steal her boyfriend or something?
"Damn, She inhaled too much of the Pheromones, she's in a state of loveshock, only the person she's looking for could snap her out of the trance, the main problem is the symptoms never wear out until she meets him, hopefully the depressant in the syringe should calm her down so she doesn't go on a rampage hunt, plus she's probably the new recruit that accepted my flier"
the girl then took out a box like thing, I could feel magic being channeled ino the weird thing
"Note to self: Remember to install locks on the office door"

she then pocketed the thingy in her apron, then lifted me up and carry me
"Are you going to take me to Leoth?"
I hope she does, I kind of miss him already
the woman then snapped her fingers a few inches from my face, I got out of la-la land, it was hard to focus on something that isn't what you're looking for
"Hey! hey, listen to me, My name is Yura"
I could care less about her name, unless her name would happen to be Leoth
"I know of a way to get what you want!"
Did she mean Leoth!? how doe she know what I want?!, Is she using the Jedi mindtrick to get to me!?
"You have to help me with what I want, if you do you might be able to meet with that guy 'Leoth' that you were talking about"
OMG she knows his name!, I need to follow what she says and help her, but the pink flower things in my vision is kinda distracting me
*Yura's POV*
Hehehehehe I could use her symptom to my advantage, I could get her to do all kinds of experiments that I've wanted to do before, and as an added bonus I get to teach someone about the wonders of alchemy, she could share the trade!
Now it's time to seal the deal!
"Hey Girl!"
"... Thalia"
"OK, Thalia, I can make you beautiful so your Leoth guy friend would fall in love with you in a heartbeat"
Oh look her eyes are sparkling, I think I got her, hook, line and sinker HEHEHEHEHEHE
*Yura's POV END*
*Time Skip - 5 Days*
I'm done! the five days are done!, I get to see Leoth, he'll see the new skills I got and he'll praise me and pet me and hug me and rub my back and my tummy all I want MWA HAHA HAHAHA HA HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA!
Now let me just finish these batch of liquid explosives for self-defense and for keeping away wolf bitches that try to steal my guy me away
A batch of Isopropyl Nitrate Fire Bottle? Check!, Extremely flammable liquid that burns with a nearly invisible flame though it is a low-sensitivity explosive, it's enough for me, Fill inside a glass bottle, cover mouth of the bottle with cloth, ignite cloth and throw onto unsuspecting man-stealer, It's that easy!
I asked Yura to teach me how to make landmines since she did say a tinkerer taught her and the end product is an Astrolite Land mine, powerful stuff, it goes out in a large bang and as an added plus it has low volatility, so leaving it in enemy territory of years doesn't make it null and void and still explode after all that, it is highly poisonous so if the explosion doesn't kill you, the poison will, I had to make this thing with a gas mask and an oxygen tank inside an air locked room so if it fails it wouldn't kill the townspeople
As a testrun I made an extremely mini-sized version of the Astrolite Landmine, with my favorite Homunculus 'Lab Rat', he's basically a white mouse, what's so special about him?
Wel--BOOM!, mice organs splattered about 'Lab rat' was no more... for now.
you could see clearly in the cooked rat meat that there was some slight bubbling and deteriorating on the flesh, it's the sign of the poison acting up, a success!
Whelp! time to wrap things up then
"Lab rat! time to regenerate, we need to go now!"
the scattered flesh started to twitch and roll closer and closer to what seems to be the heart, at first the body looked like a mass of burnt flesh mashed together, sinews started to sow and knit together the flesh, bristles of white fur grew at an extremely fat rate and he insisted on growing another tail, leaving the blown off tail to rot
..1
...2
......3
Voila!
He's good as new!, well no matter how many times I maim him, he still insists on following me, and as far as I can tell he isn't a raging hormonic male like Chet who I can vaguely remember
Everything's packed, doors are locked, Yura's asleep! and now Thalia will play!, Leoth here I come!
*Yura's POV*
"How cute, a 13 year old playing with explosive, aaaah~! I remember those days as a kid, especially the stink bomb in Darius' secret facility"
well seriously, she might even surpass me, I wish that Leoth guy wasn't protected by such a spoiled little sister figure then I'll be there pouncing on him, I remember a guy was waving at someone before bumping into me, coincidentally, that was Thalia and apparently that sweet guy was Leoth
"Wouldn't it be romantic to have a husband who's handsome, nice and someone I could experiment on, Aaaaah! the feeling down there gives me the shivers!"
Now that it's just me inside this tower, it's time to do sure pleasuring business, I've been holding back myself, and I can feel that I can't stop my urges
Aaaaaahnn~!

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities. Notes: (30.06.2021) - I have re-edited and revised the following chapters up to Chapter 24. - Changed the Title from Earth AA to Tellus Stirs. (3.07.2022) - Edited the Synopsis Cover Done by [email protected] (Permission Given).

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
