《Being Human (Completed)》The slumbering ones.
Advertisement
Loke followed the stampeding William out of the Archive, he was having some trouble keeping up with the raging demon. Suddenly William stopped at the edge of the island and stared at the sky.
William roared, pure rage and mana streaming out of his body aimed upwards:"You dare call me weak!? You hide from your enemies and bend our desires to fight them for you! I made myself clear before! NOBODY CONTROLS ME!"
Loke tried to approach the erupting volcano of mana that is William, with no success:"William calm down my boy!? What did you find!?"
William turned to Loke, still rampaging at the sky:"The Go!...The Atlantians! They are involved with the void in some kind of conflict! Why else would they act all god like and do nothing about them!? They fear the void just like you all do! They cannot beat it alone and decided to raise our races to fight the void for them! Why else would they send your races into a world already plagued by its portals!? The races that already where here aren't all originally of this realm either! And then there is my race! They kept us away from the void unlike you all. Why? Because they knew how we'd grow! They knew we could sense it! They knew we could sense the void!"
Loke's eyes opened wide and his jaw seemed to fall open alone:"So that your kind could grow uninhibited by us, but why not just force us to nurture you then?"
William:"I do not know..But I intend to find out!" He turns back to look at the sky once more, many figures started to come out of the school and stare at what was happening. "Speak to me you cowards! COME TO ME OR TAKE ME TO YOU! OR I SWEAR I WILL SCAR THIS WORLD SO BADLY N...." His vision went dark, as a hasty teleportation was made on him.

William stood yet again surrounded by the beings that had introduced him to the other realm, yet this time a barrier seemed to be placed around him. But that wasn't the only difference, all around him the expressions of curiosity were no more, in their stead were expressions full of horror, fear and sometimes annoyance. One such annoyed expression was the single alien that stood on the inside of the circle of stands with William, outside his barrier cage. William turned to the being, smoke rising from his body, his eyes full of rage and his fists clenched. The alien didn't waver, it simply stared at him annoyed which in turn annoyed William. His grey eye glowed and so did his amulet, making his armour appear around him. The alien's expression turned to concern as it occasionally glanced upward at the control station. Suddenly and quickly William's fist was on the barrier wall with a powerful gust like shock wave sent fort all around, the alien unconsciously took a step back.William's grimace turned into a wide grin. The barrier faded and William unclenched his fists, staring daggers into the alien as his eyes no longer bore rage but instead cold and calculating hatred.
William:"Tell me."
Leisfol:"You wouldn't understand."
William took a step closer to the barrier, it started to shake erratically trying to contain his mana :"I don't care. TELL ME!"
Leisfol took another step back and looked around the room, the atlantians on the top seats all nodded and he did so back.:"Before the other races were even a single cell, at the beginning of this realm. Two powers constantly pushed at each other in a very restricted plain of existence, finally a third power grew angered and pushed at the other two. In the middle the third tried to slumber but was finally awakened and pushed in all directions. These four powers are the four greats of existence. Darkness and Corruption constantly fought as Light watched and Chaos slumbered. Light grew annoyed and also fought back, in the middle of the battle Chaos was awakened and the three incurred its wrath. That is what your race titled the Big Bang, the battle and explosion that NOT created this world but expanded it, all other realms and forced them all to expand further at increasing speeds."

William:"I did not ask for a history lesson on the creation of everything."
Leisfol:"You wish to know the truth do you not? This is essential. " after William stayed quiet for a couple more moments he continued "Each of the powers had suddenly more space to call their own and bend to their will, but due to the explosion they were mingled and squashed their influence together, where on was so was the other but they all four still remained their own existence. Darkness sprinkled things into existence making what you call particles which it joined to make more intricate things such as stone, making the element of Earth. Light dispersed itself creating other powers, other elements. From within itself it sprouted nature, erupted fire, surged water and blew wind. Corruption copied its brethren and created beings of its very essence, it created the Void in a different realm set to completely take it over.Chaos simply went back to slumber as its outburst drained it and made it weary. As every creation grew and changed galaxies started forming from the bodies of earth, water, fire and wind. Nature soon followed neatly picking which bodies to take residence in.At quicker speed, the Void spread and grew, hungering for more and more. As nature finally set itself on a system, beings we call races started to sprout on certain bodies called planets. Most of these races did not survive and died out, but some thrived and grew. Our race was one of the first seven sentients and one of the first to encounter the Void. At the peak of our existence, it surged out of its tunnels and shook our societies to the very core. Wiping out with tremendous force almost all our civilisations, our race survived by escaping further and further away. After a long journey we discovered other younger, sentient races and began to study them. We found many had the ability to tap into creation itself and surge forth the great powers. This is called magic as the great powers and everything else is indeed mana. We concluded that their aptitude for magic was higher than our own even though they lacked many traits to travel or even communicate with us. So we waited, for long decades we waited. At one point we noticed that a couple new sentient races were sprouting as well, your race was one of them. Humans caught our attention the most as in their most primal sentient forms seemed to be attracted to weakest spots of this realm, more precisely the spots closer to the realm of the Void. Our research concluded that nature and corruption along with another great power took part in your creation, we celebrated. Your existence meant a chance against the horrific forces of the Void. We were blinded by the possibilities!"
William eyes both glowed now:"No, you were blinded by fear. You took advantage of the other races and sent them to another realm that the Void had currently moled into, to keep its attention while you raised my kind to be your soldiers. Since the Void is attracted to mana and condensed magic like civilisation, you blocked our mana hoping the Void would be unable to detect us at all making us the perfect assassins with the ability to detect its presence. But also, most of all. You were jealous of us, your hate for the void, your fear of the void added with that jealousy. You chose to sacrifice all these races for your own goals, for your own survival." The ground shook and the barrier dissipated "But you made one grave mistake in your calculations." He moved towards the atlantian who in turn moved back, suddenly its back hit the wall of the stands behind it, William leaped forward crashing his fist into the wall behind the being. Their eyes now mere centimetres apart "You underestimated Human kind. You underestimated our intelligence and perceptiveness. But worst of all" a crunching noise could be heard as William crushed debree in his clenching fist. His other arm slowly moving towards the atlantian's neck, as if trying to grasp it."You underestimated and insulted me. You bent my frustration at my society and aimed it back at myself, you tried to control me, to bind me. But no more, your assistance is no longer needed." He walked back into the centre."Stay here! Cower before what I shall do next! Sit here in your own fear and piss as I reach the greatness you all can't even comprehend!" The shadowy figure of Erza appears behind him holding on to his shoulder."Erza, take me back home."

While William was searching from document to document in the Archive he questioned Erza if she knew anything or knew anything that could tell him of his magic's origins and more about the void. She explained that as she was a Devourer Dragon she very old but was still considered of the new generation of Devourers that started to appear after the separation of races. The ones before her were never moved and remained in his realm, some on planet earth. These had been given a different name by her kind and were completely forgotten by the other sentient races. She had limited power due to the contract but long range teleportation was doable, and she did so. She took him back to his planet, back to Earth from the atlantians. Specifically he asked her to take him as close as safely possible to one of her older kin.
Erza:"We are here, this is it's lair."
William opened his eyes to find one of his defensive amulets had activated, a dense sphere of air surrounded him protecting him.He was within a very well lit and enormous cavern, it stretched for such a great distance he couldn't see the other side. The roof was fairly high also but within leaping height, he could reach it if he tried at full strength. The cavern roof was covered in stalagmites which were covered in different gems and ores. But what was most unnerving was the floor, they stood on a platform stuck to the wall that was elevated a couple feet from the floor. The floor itself, was a searing hot pool of magma for as far as the eye could see. The ocean of magma seemed to move in streams towards different directions, a couple hundred or so meters away the magma bubbled. Then he felt it as his knees buckled from beneath him, the dense and crushing force of mana that was ascending from the magma. He had felt this feeling many times before, dread ate away at him while fear crushed him from all over. He started to waver, fear eating away at his very being.
Arryn:(Calm, William. I'm here) her soothing voice in his head lifted his spirits. They were still connected.
William:(This power..It's not even ancient..It is straight primal...)
Arryn:(You must remain calm, collect your self. I can feel your emotions in disarray, you will not be able to continue like this!) concern clear in her tone.
William urged himself up, slightly slung downwards as he stood:(T..Thank you...I'm...Alright now..)
He stared forward, into the ocean of magma. He poured his mana forward to gain its attention, it barely reached. Suddenly magma erupted from where the bubbles were growing. From underneath the flowing flames a beast forgotten by even legends surged out. With reptilian features, red scales of different shades, blazing emerald eyes with slits beaming with intelligence. The Elder Dragon rose, glaring at the measly pest that awakened it from it's beauty sleep. All around the majestic beast, tendrils of magma formed upwards dancing at it's noble presence then suddenly turning into pillars of liquid fire that surged upwards. The beasts head took most of William's vision, half the head was still under the magma. It's eyes bore aeons of knowledge and history, it's eyes solely focused on their position. And then it spoke.
Elder Dragon:"Who awakens me. I see a pest and a youngling that requires discipline."
Erza's form changed, taking her original:"Ohh Primal one! We ask for your forgiveness..for disturbing your peace! We simply require knowledge that solely you hold! We beg for your compliance!" Her tone was full of pride and respect but yet engulfed in fear. As she kneeled her form seemed to shudder.
William followed her lead and also bent the knee.
Elder Dragon:"Amusing, your quite the strange party now aren't you?"It said as it inspected the two." Mostly you, human pup. I can sense the mana within you and its affinity. Truly I could have never imagined the decade, one such as yourself to appear. You have my undivided attention." It stared at the two of them regally.
William rose, still somewhat dangling from the pure pressure being emitted."I ask for your knowledge on my power! And its connection to the Void!"
Elder Dragon:"Hmmm, of course you must know about the existence of mana. Well mana is divided, into affinities. Each affinity represents a great power, Fire, Water, Earth, Nature,Wind, Dark, Light, Chaos and Corruption. Every being has only one of these attributed mana types within them, for example I am aligned to Fire. I can use other attributes but they are highly weakened as my mana is not of their attribute and it would take a larger amount to make use of. You my interesting human, are aligned with Chaos. You are completely unable to use any of the other primal powers such as Light, Dark and Corruption, but can tap into Earth, Water, Wind and Nature. This is due to the being of those three powers, Light and Dark form balance while Corruption requires intricate and concise precision. Both of which are complete opposites of Chaos which dwells in miscomprehension, unbalance and pure randomness. Your connection with the Void on the other hand is due to the constant hunger Corruption surrounds itself in, you can sense the corrupt being's chaotic trashing and lust. You're lusting to combat it. And as it stands the Void will soon break into another realm completely and engulf it in its corrupt hunger, starving that realm of other attributes. You child, your race is the sole creation that can stop the Void's raging hunger and devourment of realms. As such I will bestow some knowledge onto you." It raised its large arm out of the magma, pointing it's claw at William.
William's knees yet again buckled as primal knowledge rushed fort into his mind, teachings of long dead races surged into him. Long forgotten languages and magiks were precisely forming in his mind. Ancient incantations and spells, digging into him. It took a couple minutes of fist clenching pain but it finally ended. He fell on the ground, slightly hovering off it due to his amulet, unconscious.
Erza's form retracted back and rushed to his side:"Thank you, Elder Pharioa."
Pharioa:"Speak not my name young one, it pulls unneeded attention from the others. Now go, I can only hope that he succeeds. Our kind may be old and powerful, but the Void is something we yearn to never see again. What happened to Xer was proof enough that we cannot contain our lust for its power, I pray to the powers that she has long decayed." The Elder Dragon declined back into the ocean of magma, at the same time speaking an incantation of an unknown language that shook the whole cavern.
Once the incantation was done, Erza and William were no where to be seen.

8 81Chains of Dominion
If Jake wins the local Fantasy Tactics Online tournament, he’ll have everything he’s ever dreamed of — a ticket out of town and the attention of a beautiful woman. However, this woman has more planned for him than a bus ride to the local metropolis. She teleports him back to her Realm and declares him her Master… and says it’s up to him to save the world. No pressure. Rival Dominions vie for power, and they are all far larger and more organized than Jake’s rag-tag group of women, but he has two advantages: the rules of this world are eerily similar to those of Fantasy Tactics Online, and his wildest dirtiest sexual fantasies act as a power multiplier for his all-female army. Warning: The heroes have intense tactical battles, wild kinky sex, and near-constant flirtation. The villains are disturbing and cruel. If the idea of villains doing bad things bothers you, please do not read books ever, but especially don’t read this one.

In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!
