《Trials of the Seven - Dawn of a new age》The Unknown - Vanessa

The air was ice cold, my sword glistened with frost. Slowly I readied my self to sprint at what ever was coming our way.
“This isn’t normal.” Chase stood beside me ready to guard the people behind us with his life. My only care was the little dwarf boy and the other children. Children deserve to grow up happy and free, not in constant fear.
“What is it?” My eyes scanned the tree line watching for any movement.
“I don’t know, I have only seen goblins come this way.” His sword was trembling. I glanced down at mine. I was scared to.
My instincts yelled for me to get out of there, but I didn’t listen.
People started pouring out of the forest running our way.
My view was blocked by the amount of them. Their number was well over a hundred.
Chase moved forward and stood with his sword behind him ready to sprint forward through the group. I ran to circle them.
It was getting colder.
I glanced and thought I had recognized two of the people but there was no way they would be running like this.
The last man left the forest. He was covered in blood and looked spent.
The spear in his had shined like glass as he ran.
He stopped running when he saw Chase emerge from the crowd. The people were now all behind Chase. In the safest spot around.
The man turned from where he was and caught sight of me.
Arrows started raining down from the edge of the field. The man had judged the distance where the arrows would hit perfectly.
He back peddled towards chase a few more steps then stood there.
His spear shattered and he took a knee.
The goblins were not like any of the goblins I had seen before. Their skin was black and they held cheap bows.

There was a lot of them. All of them focused their shots on the ice man.
Chase moved up beside the man and brought out a giant metal door and placed it in front of the man. The door was pierced by the arrows but none of them went all the way through.
The goblins didn't notice me until it was too late. One by one they started meeting their maker as their black heads were severed from their bodies.
They started shouting and pushing past each other as I twisted my blade and mowed them down.
The goblins before me had dropped their bows in favor of running away. I couldn't let that happen.
Something blue streaked out past me. The goblin I was attacking had somehow grown a blue horn. My sword never stopped although I couldn't help but think it was strange.
More of the goblins ahead of me sprouted the blue horns. Each one started to fall as the horns appeared. I stood there and looked close at one of the horns. It was cold to the touch.
"Humph!" I glared over at the man who was with Chase.
Ty stood there drinking a small bottle of blue juice while pointing at something. He was laughing.
I followed his gaze and found the object he was laughing at. I started to walk forward towards it.
I couldn't fight back the laughter any longer.
I knew that some of the goblins were probably running away now but I couldn't help it. This was too much.
My sides ached as I stepped over the corpses finally meeting up with the other two.

Wizard's Tower
The humans call me Nemon Fargus. They call me wizard, and [Elementalist] and [Enchanter]. They call me teacher. They call me adventurer. But I don't care. Not anymore. For more than a hundred and fifty years I've served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four Kings and a Queen. Two wars and a rebellion. I've founded and taught at a magic school. I've fought against beast waves and dungeon breaks. But now? Now, the one close friend I had left has passed. So, I'm done with their politics and their economics. The short and busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf. Now, I'm looking for a refuge, a place that can well and truly be my own. Away from the growing cities and the bustling markets, away from the pointless wars, away from the eager students and the arrogant adventurers. It's too much.

Discovering Magic
“Venture into your mind and into a new world, one where there is Magic. Magic that is nascent and unexplained, one where you can be the one to Discover it, by delving dark dungeons or examining magical Beasts, by studying ancient scrolls or by finding lost gods, your Imagination is the only limit.” This is what Mike thought he was getting into when he lay down to play a new VR game, but fate had another thing in store for him, he was whisked away to a new world in another Dimension, with an AI fused to his body that refuses to let him treat this world as a game, all the while trying to make it as much like a game as it can. The only Objective he is given is to Discover Magic as he learns to survive and live in this new world, doing the best he can to not die, or even worse. *** Hi All! This is my story, it has been brewing in my mind in various forms for years. It will be rough, this is the first story I have written in a long time, so please help me make it as great as it can be! It is a High Fantasy adventure/Isekai LitRpg, it will have action and adventure, levels and dungeons, Elves, Dwarves and Gods. It is not a Virtual Reality story, though it will touch on some topics of artificial intelligence. The core focus of the story is going to be the discovery and deep delve in the magic system and fantastical elements of the world. Mana is used so often in LitRPG's but how often is it explained what mana is, magic is used in fantasy, but how often do you understand what it feels like. Magical races like Elves, Dwarves etc. often exist in stories, but why do they exist? and what truly makes them different from Humans and from each other? What is a God and where did they come from? These are the sort of topics that I want to really dive into in this series, all through the lens of a progression focused LitRPG. Thanks for reading!
