《End of the World》Pt. 2 Chapter 4

Doonma stared at the winner and said "Are you sure, this is your chance to marry my daughter Evelyn?" The winner nodded and smirked up at me and I felt some anger at this action. I looked over helplessly and shrugged. I knew that there was no changing what they decided so there is no reason to convince them otherwise. Doonma saw my shrug and accepted that suggestion and told everyone that in ten days, the wedding will commence.
Everyone was cheering as a voice spoke and said "Oh, then how about we start the wedding now? I have time." Silence followed as everyone heard that and when we saw the source, the crowd backed away. My group stood up and were ready for combat should we need to fight. What we didn't expect was for everyone to start bowing to the person in question. When I asked Doonma, all he said was that he was a god and that we need to pay our respects to him.
I just stood there and watched as he came up to me and asked "Now what kind of asshole won Evelyn's hand?"
"Why do you want to know?" I asked back.
"I was going to make her my bride in 9 days when I heard that someone won the competition. I knew that someone not born on this world had to have won to shorten the days of the tournament." He said.
"Well, then we are the people you are looking for. I will appreciate it if you could leave us alone." I said and as I turned back to Doonma, I was launched into the wall across the room. Rage was burning as a inferno within me but I kept calm and got out of the rubble to find all of my men dead. Everyone, except for the wannabe god, saw me rise out of the rubble and were surprised, especially Evelyn who was watching from afar at the time. I looked at the person that caused it and rushed at him. He was surprised as a fist landed on his face and he was thrown to the wall.

I stood there and knelt by my men and wished them luck on their journey to a better life. When I was finished that, I looked over at the fool and saw he was standing and staring at me. I saw a heart in his hand and I just lost control. I rushed at him and threw a fist but he deflected the hit away from him. He, however, wasn't expecting another fist and a foot to follow after that. He couldn't dodge or block so he called his power forth and stopped the attacks that way.
I didn't care that he could use magic, I just wanted to kill him. I pulled my other fist back and swung hard, I could hear the barrier cracking and he was looking worried. I felt more courage seeing as I could force the barrier to crack so I started to attack more. After a few minutes of my arms blurring, the barrier cracked and I hit the idiot. He didn't go flying like last time, instead someone else actually interfered and stopped my punch.
I twisted my way out and was about to launch for another attack when I heard a voice say "STOP". I was actually frozen in place, my muscles didn't want to work no matter how much heat was going through my body. A light started to shine behind me and a person walked out of the light and asked "What is going on?"
The person that I was attacking looked behind me and said "This person attacked me for no reason, this was all self defense."
"He is lying my lady, I saw the whole thing. He acted like he owned the place and wanted the daughter of the local leader. He arrived as this gentleman's men finished fighting and won the contest. After asking who this person was, he didn't let him know his name and broke a common rule. The gentleman's name is Jayden and he was attacked and thrown at the wall over there. 'pointing across the room' Killed all of his men and was forced to defend as he was attacked savagely. I suggest that Queus be punished heavily for attacking and killing mortals." the person who blocked my punch said.

"In that case, Jayden I apologize for what Queus did. My name is Neana and I am the current leader of the local gods. All those that are training to be gods taught the rules that we made, but it appears that several of them don't listen to the rules. I wish to repay you for the damage done by Queus. Tyddur, stay with Jayden and when he would like payment, bring him to me no matter where I am." Neana said. "And bring Evelyn with him."
"As you wish my lady" Tyddur said. After that was done, Neana and Queus both disappeared in a flash of light and Tyddur told me to say his name out if I wanted payment and he will come out and help me then disappeared into the shadows.
"What the hell just happened?" I asked out loud.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

The Rowan Fox, Tail 1: The Missing Children
Deep in the Maple Woods sits a mountain of old. Humans have claimed it and today a city called Redlog covers it from peak to foot. Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)

The prizes are grand, but the chance to be the first players in this new game might be worth more than the prizes themselves. This is a Lit-RPG, a humble homage to all the others who precede it and hopefully an inspiration to anyone with a story in their own head that needs to be shared.
