《Re:elemental The Greatest Spark [Hiatus]》Chapter 1) Prologue a spark is born
Advertisement
Hey there, I know I'm talking to myself but yeah I'm having a mini panic attack here, my name's Lance, Lance Falcon, great name right? my parents thought so but my classmates thought it wasn't, anyway how can I describe this? At the minute I'm currently floating in this void?
Its a rather strange tale as to how I ended up here I was certain I had died and yet I'm here I am, floating in this...void.
Confused? Well we're in the same boat, (que dramatic music) you see it started as an average day, on an average night, after a day of attending college and having come back to binge on games and Mountain Dew (not really, I'm not a casual) my usual ritual around 6pm would be to start my dinner which consisted of either oven pizza or some other fast foody type meal that required minimal effort.
Normally it would take 10 minutes of standing around waiting for the heavenly sound of my rubber ducky clock screaming that dinner was ready, today however I was careless, so careless was I today that I must have offended the gamer Gods' for veering from my daily ritual, for today was the day I had left my dinner cooking unattended.
Now Lance you say, how could you do that! pizza is a sacred meal of the gods! Well it was simply, I had a raiding party to kill the elusive field dragon "Shelly" (who names these bosses?), being the lead tank I had no luxury of time, my parties mood was like dragon fire, angry enough even with just 10 wipes so forgoing any common sense I hastily retreated back to my game.
My efforts to cut corners had left the gods angry, they demanded BLOOD! through carelessness I had forgotten my faithful companion, my ducky clock, had I remembered to set it I would have instantly ran and saved my dinner as soon as it quacked and yet it remained silent through the chain of events that were about to start.

It wasn't long before things started to heat up quite literally, 10 minutes went by then 20 minutes and finally 30 minutes, as if an achievement was unlocked my kitchen exploded into a ball of fire, my jalapeño and pepperoni pizza extra crispy from there everything was on fire, it didn't take long before I realised that both my party and my house were going down in flames.
Black smoke filled my room, its burning fumes filled my lungs and my instincts kicked into overdrive, I had no time to save anything (so long my collection of Pokemon cards, I'll miss mew)
I made a mad dash to get out of my house, It didn't take me long to find the stairs and fall down them, dazed I had no time to notice that my arm became disfigured in both shape and addition of fire, my arm burning, panic setting in I ignore the pain and dashed outside.
My once proud house lost in flame but I had no time to look back, I had barely any time to even look where I was running to as I ran into the centre of the road.
It was then I had noticed it, instinctively I called its cursed name
"Truck-san!?"
The large truck speeding towards me, the grim reaper only a mere meter away and yet somehow I was saved, I hadn't been hit by the cliché of all stories unfortunately for me it swerved into a lamppost, unstable and with evil intentions it targeted me in its death throes, aiming to get revenge.
I have no recollection of what happened in that exact moment but apparently the lamppost had obliterated my head.
And that's how I managed to get here, into this paradise of...nothingness?

Authors note:
So I've been in Hiatus for too long, far too long for me to keep the story fresh, I noticed flaws in my original work which is why I'm I decided to redo all of it again, expect harem, danger and a more diverse cast of characters
PS I kinda fancy making anti-cliché jokes, I'm all ears to hearing feedback on this regard (or anything really)

Enjoy. Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was choosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Restoring the ancestral home of Ogre's seems easy enough, what if a thriving town now resides there? Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

8 67Echelon of The Owls
Parallel worlds or other worlds. The existence of infinite existence where it only exists in science fiction like in comics, books, or cartoons. We, humans, are so fond of that fiction idea, imagining a thousand worlds where we can have different appearances, lives, and selves. For example, a murderer who's been living in the underbelly of society in the dark might be the most successful businessman in an alternate timeline or reality. The infinite possibilities we could have, that's why the idea of parallel worlds revolves around "what if", " I should've...", etc. The wishful thinking that how we could have done it better or in a word, "regret". Other than that, it's still from fiction. The concept of it only exists in our imaginary minds. But, it all changed when 20 students from an ordinary high school were caught in a mysterious phenomenon. A surge of blue light crawled across the whole room, symbols, lines, and geometric patterns emerged slowly. The light slowly grew brighter and brighter, in a blink of an eye, all of them vanished. Till to this day, the mysterious phenomenon was left to be unknown, with the existence of those 20 students. Join the journey of Sirius Steorra and Alice Schwartz as they transverse to the other world and uncover the mysteries of its world. A world that’s shrouded by mysteries and history. This is their story... ----------------------------------------------------- This is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub.
