Advertisement
After an hour Lune arrivea at my room, she then gives me the spy mouse.
"Bye dad, Can't stay I have something to do."(Lune)
....Sounds fishy, what's more she was in a hurry to leave.
"Lune, what are you hiding?"(Forvish)
"Lune isn't hiding anything."(Lune)
........Suspicious. Well I will ask her when I see her next week.
After that Lune exits from the window, she is girl but she is a bit tomboyish. I am worried about her future. Well let's see, should I get more information or do I train?
As I was pondering. Someones knock at the door.
"Coming."(Forvish)
I opened the door and see Lumiere in her usual clothing.
"Can I come in? I have something I want to talk about."(Lumiere)
She says that as she sits on my bed, then she looks around and trys to check under the bed.
"I don't have any porn so don't bother checking."(Forvish)
She is shocked so rude, then she coughs and asks me.
"Forvish, why you did you promise my mom?"(Lumiere)
So she knew about it, I just shrug my shoulders.
"I know it, but I am more confused with you. Why are you okay with it? We are just strangers right? Did you promise her that because you pity my mom?"(Lumiere)
So she is worring about that.
"Lumiere, I will tell you one thing. I am not a hero, I do what I want to do. If I didn't want to do that I wouldn't promise her."(Forvish)
She stand ups and immediately her rapier appears. Her manarized is so fast, she points her rapier at me.
"I don't understand you! You can't do such things on a whim. You must have another hidden plan."(Lumiere)
The reason I promise her mom actually is quite simple.
"Lumiere you said you needed me, so we can have an alliance right?"(Forvish)
She nods her head.
"I can trust you, that's why I want to make an alliance with you."(Forvish)
"But you can join the rebels, it doesn't have to be with me."(Lumiere)
She still threatens me.
"That is true at first I only to wanted to watch, but when I got to know your futher I started to change my mind, I can only trust you to have my back."(Forvish)

"Why? We never met before and I have never helped you."(Lumiere)
"You know how important family is and you want to protect it."(Forvish)
"Eh? But I am pretty sure that is common. What's more I am pretty cruel myself."(Lumiere)
"But you do that because you love your mom right? If I was in your position, I would do the same."(Forvish)
"Last question! Is that only the reason?"(Lumiere)
She is sharp, well better tell her the truth then.
"I envy your life a lot you have such a good parent."(Forvish)
Actually I envy all of the girls at home, they have parents that protect them, but it is common thing. Lumiere is different she is an unwanted child by her mom. Still she doesn't hate her but loves her. Common people would abandond her, but her mom won't. What's more she doesn't want her daughter to live for revenge. It is clearly shown how much she loves her.
"Are you crazy? I don't have dad you know. My mom was raped."(Lumiere)
"But she still takes care of you right? Even if you are unwanted, you have a good life."(Forvish)
She can't answer.
"Lumiere, I myself am an unwanted child. No a monster for my real parents, because they thought of me as dangerous a thing they wanted to kill me. That happened to me when I was 5 years old"(Forvish)
She still doesn't reply. No she can't reply.
"What's more after I survived. I was taken in by organizations, what's more I was experimented on and failed to protect the person I loved a year after experiments."(Forvish)
She can't reply. Her eyes are teary.
"Then why? Why do you protect me? Even after all of that? You should know how cruel the world is. You should hate it more than anyone!? You should want to destroy it!? "(Lumiere)
"If I continued to live in darkness, maybe that would have been possible."(Forvish)
Then she wants to speak more but stops. She knows I choose the light over the darkness.
"I envy you, but W also want to protect it. That's why I protect you to see how your life unfolds.(Forvish)

I want to believe that that kind of life exists.
Then her tears begin to fall at the same time she drops her rapier.
"Forvish why don't you take revenge on your parents? The scientists who experimented on you? Are you going to forgive them?"(Lumiere)
From a common viewpoint, no....maybe to every person such a thing is normal and I am not someone that forgives a person easily.
"It isn't because I forgive them, but because I have something to protect. Which is my current life I don't want to lose it. Revenge will end my current life that's why I don't take revenge."(Forvish)
No matter how I hate them. I can't lose what is important to me that's why I don't bother with revenge. Revenge will only cloud my mind, only hurt the people I love, Like what happen today.
"Lumiere please stop with this. It only hurts your mother more. This case, even if we solved it it will only hurt your mom more."(Forvish)
Then she crys bitterly.
"...Tell me what should I do? I can't forgive them because a man like that, mom was like that."(Lumiere)
I hug her, I know that. I want to protect my family and I wanted revenge. I can't do both, that's why i gave up with revenge.
"Lumiere, I never told you to forgive them, it is normal for you to hate another. Still you must know what is important to you."(Forvish)
I trust her, she could change.
"Huaahhh!!"(Lumiere)
Shs grips my clothes so hard. She knows that that is why I told her of my past and what path I took as reference.
Then she cries for a minute when she suddenly says.
"Forvish, I hate you."(Lumiere)
Even though she says that, she didn't mean anything by it.
"Yeah, yeah ."(Forvish)
I believe in her that she will stop with this situation, but it won't be like our school. Where all of us are treat equally. Still it will be something more, something softer than this. Something that will leave a nice memory at the persons heart. I believe her who is my friend.
Narator POV
3 hours after Lune sent Forvish the spy mouse.
(Rebel base)
"Where are the first years and the majority of the second years?"(Third year student)
"They don't have guts, anyways when we will make our move?"(Second year students.)
"During the day the transfer student is gone. He is very strong, what's more he is the son of the heroes.(Third year)
He is worried if he tells on them to the heroes. What's more he has a good relationship with the Empress. That's why he decided to move after he was gone.
"I agree with that, but what if I lose."(Second student)
They were beatin last year. That's why they are worried if they would lose again.
"Don't worry about that, my dad the previous Emperor will protect us."(Third year)

They are shocked.
"Yeah, but he wants the Empress left untouched...Understood?"(Third year)

"Yeah."(Everyone )
Everyone shouts, while they don't notice some of the spy mouse heard the conversation.

"Luna, can you please pass me the t.v. remote?"(Kyle)
"Yeah."(Luna)
After she pass him the remote, Kyle changes the channel until he found the news and he stands surprised.
"A Prisoner named Euren Shed escaped from prison and killed ten people."(Reporter)
"GODDAMIT!!"(Kyle)
"What's wrong Kyle?"(Claire)
Immediately she saw the news. She is surprised.
"I should have kill him!! The tragedy will only repeat again!!"(Kyle)
He slams the table with anger. If only he killed him back then, he was too naive.
"Kyle.."(Claire)
"Let's call Leon. I need to settle with him!! I will be the one who ends his life!!"(Kyle)
Immediately Kyle goes and calls Leon. Luna was the most shocked because she never see him who acts calm to act like this.
"Mom, why is dad angry that much?"(Luna)
"Sorry, Luna I can't tell you that."(Claire)
"Is he strong? To make him go on his own?"(Luna)
This is the first time.
"He is the winner of the tournament before us. His ability is gravity which made him be known as the Emperor and Made Kyle be kicked out from their house."(Claire)

The Ascension Age

Except for those who were religious fanatics, most people had already come to at least partially accept this theory.As years passed, more proof that the Big Bang was the phenomenon that gave birth to the Universe continued to appear.

Humanity had finally accepted as a whole that in this Universe, such a thing as gods didn’t exist… or did they?However, humanity would soon find out that the Big Bang was just part one. That infinitesimally small point where the Big Bang originated… was still there! The Second Big Bang, which had a purpose unlike the first one, was about to begin.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading! Cover art (fullsize): Forgotten World Coliseum, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli.
