---Allen POV---
When I entered the room, what I found was nothing but a slaughter.
The men in black slash, and kill the nobles while their running. The guards of the castle are trying their best to fight them, but most of them are already hurt, and they're losing in number as well.
I take a look around the room for a while. The royal guards, and the royal family are still safe huh?
‘Hey isn't that your family?’
I quickly avert my eyes, and find my family. Grandpa, and dad are fighting 8 men using a knife, and Lyle protecting Cecilica
Cecilica then run to someone while crying. Wait, is that mom? What happened?
The next moment a man appear behind mom and tried to slash her. immediately I use to pierce his hands, legs, and chest with knives.
“Never would I have thought that the royal castle can be infiltrate. Are the castle defense really this bad?”
I walked towards the man while saying that. He glared at me, and shout.
“Who are you?”
“Guess it's time for a little introduction.”
I glared at the man, fold my arms, and look down on him with and told him my name.
“My name is Allen, Allen Graywark. You who dare to hurt my family prepare to suffer!”
Mom look surprise when he saw me, so did the others. Honestly doing things like this, isn't what I'm good at.
2 men appear and tried to slash me. I stopped it by creating a wall made of earth.
The men took a step backward, and try to start another attack but I didn't let him do that by sealing his leg to the ground.
They look surprised for a while, seeing this opportunity I used Wind magic to cut their arms.
The wind were pretty strong, strong enough to cut both of their arms cleanly. They face showed a terrified expression when they saw this.

The other men shift their attention to me, and approach me with their swords and attack me. Ahh, with this things will go a lot easier.
I used flame magic to cover me, and attack them while making sure that my family doesn't caught up in the attack.
The men were still able to move despite the hot flame. So it's not hit enough huh? In that case..
Accelerating the speed combustion, the red flame change into a blue flame. When it did the men started to scream in agony as their body burst into flame.
One of the men started to chant, and the next moment a lance of ice sprung out and aiming for me.
I create a lance of ice as well, and rotate it. My split the man , and pierce his body.
One of them then step up, and order the other.
“Don't attack the boy, let me fight him. You guys do as planned. ”
The men nod in union, and continue their plan. Hmm, so he's the leader of the group huh?
“I didn't expect that a brat will give us so much trouble, and even killed few of my men.”
“I didn't expect that you guys are so weak that you can't even kill a brat.”
“For a brat you sure know how to talk back.”
“For a third rate assassin you sure know how to act tough.”
The man seems pretty pissed, well so did I so we're even.He dashed toward me, and attack me with his sword that is covered by flame.
I create 5 and pierce them to his body. He's pretty surprised when he saw this, but he was able to destroy 2 of them, and dodge one of them.
The other 2 manage to hit him, and pierce his left arm, and right leg. But he quickly melt them using his fire sword, and continue his attack.

I create 2 and use to wield them. It's pretty hard thing to do but somehow I manage to do it.
I slash the man’s body using one of swords, and pierce his back using the other one.
Again, he used his fire sword to melt them again, and attack me once more.
I sealed his leg to the ground, and use to pierce his body using the knives.
Even with that he's still able to move, I took out the knives, and pierce them to his body over, and over again.
He screams, and screams as I did the whole process over, and over again. One of them cast and attack me.
I used Earth magic to make a wall made of earth to block the fire lance. While I did that, the leader dashed to me, and attack me.
”Die brat!”
At that moment, I quickly use wind magic to cut his body to half. He look suprised when he saw his body split into half. Poor man, he didn't even manage to know what hit him.
The other stopped what they're doing for a moment. Of course I didn't plan on waiting for them to collect their thought so I killed them quickly using Earth magic to make spikes from the ground and pierce them.
‘Hmm, I'm surprised I even have enough mana for doing all this.’
After I take care of those guys, I walk towards my mother. I look at Cecilica, and Lyle they look.. Afraid.
I take a look at my body. Ahh, no wonder they're afraid I'm soaked up by blood.
After I clean my self with water magic, I crouch down, and look at mom's wounds.
“So, are you the one who killed my men?”
Bloodlust, a large amount of bloodlust can be felt behind me. I turned around immediately, and..
*clank*
My father was already in front of me blocking the man's attack with one of the black men sword
“Ahh, Ferlike Graywark. I always did want to fight the “The Sword of Blueshere”.”
“Why thanks, and may I know who you are, trying to kill the royal family, and the nobles in here.”
They broke off their attack, and took a step backward. Dad with his sword took another stance preparing for another attack.
The man look around the room, and sheathe his sword.
“It would seems that the mission is a total bust. Not only did I fail completing the mission, my elite men were cut down by you, and even the rest by that brat. Sheesh, today’s a bad day for me. Guess I'll withdraw.’
“Wait-”
With a snap of a finger a large amount of smoke appear. After it dissipate the man was no where to be seen.
A minute later, grandpa came with a bunch of healers, and healed everyone who are still alive.
When a healer take a look at mom. She put he hand on top of her face, and close her eyes.
Cecilica cried knowing mom died. Even though I want her to be quiet, I can't stop her it's natural afterall.
Grandpa, Lyle cries as well. But not like Cecilica, they just cried silently.
Dad on the other hand, were pretty angry. Not to the killer, but to himself.
Me, I'm not that much of a different. I cried, and were angry at myself because I failed to protect her. Even if I'm a kid on the outside, in the inside I'm mentally 18.
In the end, from hundreds of people so came to the party, only 20℅ of them were still alive including us.
Tonight, is a bad night. I just hope that tomorrow won't be the same.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Nevertheless, A Fantasy World
Aldieas, a world where five races exist in harmony namely, the Humans, Vasters, Serensis, Oreals, and the Alpsis. Before, this world was bathed in a gruesome bloodbath because of countless war between the races that created their own kingdoms. The lack of progress of the Era earned the disapproval of the God who created the world resulting in sending thirteen Demon Lords to dominate the world and erase any existing races. As the five races fell into despair, they summoned a hero as last resort to fight off the Demon Lords. The hero that was summoned, a lone man, has brought hope and salvation to everyone. Eventually, the hero defeated the Demon Lords but because of what he witnessed about this world, he himself becomes dismayed and chose isolation. Thousand of years has passed and the world has reached a new Era. Right then, the Hero decided to check on things. Author's Note: Do think that this is extremely similar to my other story settings. It's slightly r-15 but I guarantee that any explicit will be tone down. Further emphasis on the story genre will be updated soon.
