The Bypass City of Purgatory, Sigurd
The city which was located at the center of the [Purgatory Realm] had an access to four important places and three of them need a special bypass ticket as permission to leave this city or bypassing the city. The [Palace], the residence of all [God of Death] which located at the 298 km north of [Sigurd City] and to get there you need a bypass ticket directly from the [Sigurd City]'s Mayor. The [Oasis], a portal gate directly connected to [Heaven realm] was located to 312 km east of [Sigurd City]. Meanwhile, the [Ruin], a portal gate directly connected to [Abyss Realm] was located to 431 km to the west of [Sigurd City]. To enter either [Oasis] or [Ruin], the dwelling [Souls] in [Purgatory Realm] will need to be test where their deeds in [Mortal Realm] would be calculated. Based on their deeds, they would enter the corresponded gate. And the last is [Gate], the gate of [Purgatory] which conected both [Mortal Realm] and [Purgatory Realm] was located to the 412 km south of [Sigurd City].
Hearing such things from Ririana made me wondered in silence. If it was like what she said, it means that [Sigurd City] hold a very special meaning in the [Purgatory Realm]. And it makes me curious to who was the Mayor of this city, which govern over this city pretty well. By the way, it seems that I misheard something.
"You said earlier there was [God] living in this realm right? By no mean it was [God of Death]?"
"Yes and no. Precisely this realm was a living place for exactly 13 [Gods of Death]."
"Huh? How come there's so many [God of death]?"
"Because the [Gods] was originally a personification from all kinds of mythology and beliefs of mankind."

Hearing such an outrageous things makes my eyes wide open. Should she really open with this kind of thing was only thought on my head. Surely I can grasp the theory behind her words but if she put the words like that, isn't it sound like she doesn't like [Gods] pretty much. Though she was working with one of them.
Well currently we was strolling around the city aimlessly while I am admiring the view myself. Probably in my point of view it was aimless because I really don't know this city well but Ririana herself walked through the crowd with an expressionless face. While all the crowd simply avoided her because of her rank, wary of her. And there's no way I'll be ignored it was because of this big-shot walking with me that I got full attention only to myself! Dang-it!
While I am grumbling to myself, we have already arrive to a nice looking building. Based on it appearance, it seems like this building was a hotel.
To think there was a hotel here. My expression about the fantasy world all change instantly leave it as only in my dream. Yeah to hell with this! There's no way this is a mere pure fantasy world!
"Somehow I feel like 'let's quickly go to heaven' already."
"No can do. You need to pass the 'special test' if you want to go to [Heaven Realm] and if you failed you've only passed to go [Abyss Realm]."
"Thought so."
This is become more and more absurd. Let's escape reality here. Please, god let me escape this reality!
We enter the hotel and immediately booking for two room. It seems like even in the [Purgatory Realm], they still use some kind of money here.
"Its would be 400 [SoulBit] for two rooms."

"Here it is."
"Thank you for your patronage. Here your keys. Your rooms would be 303 and 304."
[Soulbit]? That's the money of this realm? Yeah let's escape the reality now as it's become a distortion fantasy.
"Hey what're you doing? Let's go to our room, you're wasting my time here."
"I-I'm coming."
Yeah on that day I feel dejected so because of that let's go sleeping in my room. I realy get a fucking tired of this reality. I only hope right now that this is all either just my dream or a distort illusion. Yeah I hope so.
The dark cold night comes, the city started to bright with lights and lamps. All [Souls] in the city still dwelling in this bright city, laugh of a happy and merry [souls] resounds in the air. It shows the sign that all [souls] were currently having a fun night. But no one knows that a shadow that lurking in the shadows would soon bring out a very bad luck to this very own citizen. And the shadow itself known that it's time to_

This is my first time writing and uploading a story on Royal Road. I'm looking for constructive criticism and helpful input. I'm looking forward to a long and amazing journey from here on out.
8 161The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.

The God of reincarnation has brought to many idiots back to life with ridiculous wishes and the high council is sick of it messing up their worlds. So a new God was brought in. One that actually made people earn their new lives. But the actions of this unknown deity cause a boy's life to spiral out of control. After a tragic incident, the boy meets the diety where he requests to be able to fly. To accommodate this desire he allows the Boy to complete his task in the body of a random bird.

I also have heavy dyslexia along with some other metal 'uniqueness' so this whole story is a big F you to it but I am sorry for any and all inevitable mistakes.
