《The Almighty Boulder》The Protégés
Advertisement
Author here, well I'd like to than everyone for the comments and reviews , while most of you enjoy the story, pretty much everyone thinks that I should make chapters longer and that's noted, from now on I'll try to post longer and longer chapters.
Also something I'd like to add and that will be obvious later on is that not everything MC thinks is true but are phis assumptions only and if he makes mistakes it is simply because he doesn't have enough infos.

Carl (Your bloved Creator) PoV:
Time to spy on my good little soldiers, but seriously out of a million beings only 7 have enough balls to not pay attention to their creator, well that’s exactly what they need to be of good use to me in the future, free will.
And even amongst those seven only one really impressed me but the little fucker pissed me off by calling my good little explanation jesting.
So try to survive in an multi-elemental world as a rock, well I gave him quite an interesting ability for impressing me so we’re even I guess?
Lost in my thoughts in this hot bath, mortals call it lava but well details right, I suddenly get a pop-up warning from the link I made sure I had with my protégés and unsurprisingly it’s him again or wait is it her well I have to make sure to ask next time and tell him that he can choose his gender and is not bound by it, as for me I just love women so much I decided to be a man for good… Wait, what the hell am I reading, the little bugger already formed his core.
*stares blankly*
Hohoho, he really is surprising, this guy has been able to do that in a single day whilst it should have taken him a few months, well more taking into account where I sent him,, I’m sure that he’ll become strong, well anyone who kills hundreds of his own in front of his creator is bound to become so but he really is something else. He’ll have access to his ability well my ability now that he’s got his core I hope he’ll be able to master as soon as possible, it really is way too overpowered.

And here I had given him a form in addition to my gift but now it’s all for naught, *sights*, way to waste my efforts…
Even I would’ve never thought that a semi formed one would make it past step one actually as all of the six others are fully formed ones and clearly show strong colours but I’m pretty sure that that guy is only reddish at best but hey that makes it even more enjoying. And it really proves that anyone can become strong, well not with the same amount of efforts , that’s a given but he should be able to pull it off
Oh someone else made something worthy of being reported to me…
Really what the hell is going on, another one formed his core.
Oy stop bullshitting me, are these guys geniuses or what, let’s just see what happened to these two.
(An hour later):
These guy will be entertaining for sure, I can feel it already, if one makes his own luck and ended things with his own hands then the other has a better control over his body well bodies and is really smart.
Carl as he heard that bugger call him and found it quite the interesting name started analysing what he had just seen and clearly recalls the bugger or as he will call him Rocky (yes even as a creator his naming senses are terrible) hiding amongst the trees and watching his preys as an amateur waiting for his wine to become perfect for consumption and finally as if a start signal was given, he saw him simply one-shooting each of them with a stab to the heart and a slice to the neck.
As ruthless and bloody as that was, Carl was watching it like a painter savouring a junior’s first work, a rough gem that only needs to be polished, the most important thing is there: potential, passion and lust, a lust for strength. Rocky was obviously a natural at this.
He could feel it, Rocky is a remainder of himself, he had some doubt at first but now it’s becoming clear, this little fella is most certainly the one who inherited the most from him, now he felt that it was his responsibility to bring his protégé to his upmost and reveal what he really is capable of.

Carl really felt good, even if he had been betrayed, and banished, he finally had a way to get his revenge and he shalt savour every little bit of it, the only thing left to do right now was to wait for everything to get done. Like a chef waiting for his bacon to start sizzling to know that it’s done.
If Rocky will be his one man army, the other talent will be his two men army by himself, and if Rocky had impressed Carl by his cold blooded massacre, his counterpart had impressed him with his rationalism and thinking, he had started asking questions to Carl and trying to find loopholes to his story and that was the main reason he was allowed to survive, on a hunch and that hunch had now proven him right, it really was a wise choice in the end.
Crystal seems like a name befitting of him, while Rocky was a mix of mineral with a reddish colours, his counterpart was a perfect diamond. And as diamonds he was graceful and a thinker, he had managed something that took Carl quite some decades to accomplish (not that he would ever acknowledge it).
And Crystal had clearly something Carl himself had always missed, a powerful brain, that’s the same thing as being a genius as he can do several things at once at an alarming scale, instead of going for stronger opponents, and as he had not absorbed as much energy as Rocky, he decided to go a whole other route, now the most important thing to remember is that my protégés have two main choices, either stay as a whole to be one powerful scary rock or reproduce, that may sound attractive but they’re rocks, it really is too much calling it reproduce since they pretty much just go through a process that resembles fission and create two weaker equal bodies, then four, eight and so on, obviously the down side with this road is that once you become a bit powerful you don’t want to be weaker so most people try to avoid it add to that the fact that the more you reproduce the weaker you become and that pretty much seals the deal but there’s also something that Crystal realised.
Let’s say that someone’s potential is 100, if he goes through the normal route and works really hard then he can achieve 90 maybe even more if he’s a genius at his field but my protégés can achieve 200 if they reproduce once, a hundred for each body. Now pretty much anyone would do that if those were the only conditions as the upsides compensate for the downsides but there’s one thing that makes this technique not viable and that is your brain doesn’t split and that means having to run to lives at once and if you try that it’s easy just try to write something down with your write hand while eating a sandwich and humming a song, if you can then what are you doing on that shitty planet of yours?
(Don't try this at home disclaimer?)
Well, back to business, Crystal can perfectly control two bodies and is using them to gain experience twice as fast as anyone and he decided to go for multiple weaker goblins, that was a massacre as he got rid of a whooping 20 goblins with his two bodies after having gained enough experience from killing and crushing insects then animals,now how he killed those goblins is really befitting of him, when he became big enough, only thing he had left to do was make a hole big enough and have one of his bodies get down there and get spikes out at the ready and finally with his second body, flattened over the pit with dirt and dead leafs to hide himself, he only had to wait to get his kills, and he was also quite lucky since a troop of goblins happened to fall there and get him enough to grow a core.

Paranoid Mage
Attention Amazon: ID: PRI-PSCSXB97WPG Now on Book Two! Check the Volumes selector to make sure you start at the right place! Book One: Paranoid Mage Buy on Amazon! Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that. Book Two: Renegade Mage Buy on Amazon! After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity. Now the powers that be know who he is, and hiding is harder than ever. Nor is hiding a plan, just a reaction. Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen. He has to make his own terms. Paranoid Mage is an urban fantasy but it goes rather sideways from the normal stuff fairly quickly. Chapters are Fridays, 5PM EST, with approximately 5,000 words per chapter. Join our Discord!
8 176The Devil King
This story is a Frame Story (story within a story), and as such will contain two summaries to denote both. A man was summoned from his home world to another to serve as a Hero for the desperate Human race. Where, in between the worlds, he is tortured whist obtaining specialised abilities and a Class. However, just as he enters this new world, he is slain by way of dragon fire. Afterwards, his soul is picked up by a Goddess called Azazel and strikes a bargain with her. For a new life upon her world, he will give her entertainment. Unbeknownst to himself, she has more plans for him than simple “entertainment”. Ah, but the Universe has its own plans for the man who was summoned. Be it for good or for ill, the worlds will note the rise of something more. ***** Sarah, the Goddess of Iridescent Colours, is the Goddess Queen of the Terran Pantheon after marrying a being called the Ageless who is the God King of said Pantheon. However, after many a century of being together, and giving birth to their only child, she has come to suspect her husband of breaking the oldest laws set aside within the Universe. Tampering or re-writing a being's Story. Of which contains a being's everything; from birth to death, everything is written within their Story. Tampering with such books would not only mark the being, but cause the Librarians who take care of such items to fly into a rage and slay the perpetrator. However, with the Ageless being the fifth strongest being within the Universe, she doubts if she could find a Librarian strong enough to slay her husband for the crimes he has committed. How did she come to suspect him? Her own story contains many pages which were re-written, and the one who has access to it is both herself and her husband. Therefore, she searches for answers, and has been given the story titled The Devil King in order to find that which she desires. Even if the cost is to read the whole book before she could act fully.
