Chapter 3: Back to School
Emily
It was time for battle school after so much waiting and being one of the only girls there, I wasn’t exactly going to fit in, It was going to be a struggle with a bunch of teenage boys fighting like crazy to be the best whilst I had to sit back and pick up the pieces behind them, I gave my family a goodbye, it was an emotional one as I was very close with my mother. I would survive, however. The trip was long, having to fly across the country in order to make it to the battle school seemed crazy to me but the facilities were so apparently expensive that it wasn’t worth building more than one, so we were stuck going to the centre of the country.
After many naps, and movie marathons I had made It the battle school and the first thing that struck me was how big it was. It was enormous maybe 5 times bigger than a conventional school. At a guess I assumed it was because of the amount of people have to live there and do their studies and so on but knowing all of the new people here I can see lots of people getting lost. All the students on various forms of transports entered the battle school in herds. I could only pick a few people I knew in the crowd, not many students from my school were able to be picked in the flurry of people entering the school, I was alone at this point, there was only one objective for me now, make it in and find where I’m supposed to be doing and where I’m going, I needed to get ahead while I could. I forced my way through the crowd and into the office where we signed in, I did so, the girls behind the counter were having what must be the worst day of the year. They gave me a room number and letter, I was room A17, and unluckily for me on the other side of the school, after a long walk to the room, I swiped the card they gave me for the door and it unlocked and opened, and to my nightmare I was in a room full of boys, 3 to be exact, the rooms they gave us housed 4 people and I was the only girl in the room. It was kind of funny however watching the boys go from rowdy idiots to instantly shy and nice, “Who are you?” one of them asked, I ignored him and picked my bed on the back right of the room. The final boy walked, and he was one I actually recognised, he was the boy I saved from that dimwit Myles, I was surprised he still made it in and wasn’t in prison, “Shouldn’t you be in prison?” I asked him, he stopped what he was doing so suddenly it almost scared me. “How do you know that?” he asked in pure suspicion, I then realised he didn’t recognise me, I don’t blame him, he was getting his ass handed to him at the time. “You were the boy who killed Myles, I Saved you if I remember correctly.” He looked at me with realisation “It was you! I don’t think I’ve ever met you before, who even are you?” I couldn’t help but grin “I was just a concerned student.” I then went back to setting up my things and making my corner home, I mean I It is kind of going to be for the next while.

I Exited the plane to battle school and decided to make friends, I planned on being here for a while so I might as well start making as many allies as possible. But before long I had to make it to my room and get settled in, although getting through the line was an actual nightmare, it was shocking how much you could learn about someone in such a short amount of time. However, things had to keep moving. I made it too my room A17 after a hike and a half. I swiped my card to enter the room and shockingly the first thing I saw was a girl In the back right corner, she seemed oddly familiar but I couldn’t understand why, due to the process of elimination my area was the one in the back left, and as I started to get all my stuff packed away I heard “Shouldn’t you be in prison?” The words shocked me, “How do you know that?” she grinned “You were the boy who killed Myles, and I saved you if I remember correctly.” As that moment I realised it was her who saved me from Myles “It was you! I don’t think I’ve even met you before, who are you?” she stood at this point emotionless then she showed a small grin “I was just a concerned student.” She then turned around and completely ignored her surroundings, it really kind of baffled me. I didn’t spend much dwelling on it however I had limited time before our orientation to the school and I wanted to have everything prepared.
Days had passed and all the students were getting into the daily routines of the school, everything was still very new, but we were passed the point of getting lost all the time and not being able to know what to do. Main classes consisted the basics of math and English to keep our normal education skills up, the entertaining classes however were the battle planning classes, where we learnt all the basic theory of combat, how weapons worked, battle strategy and all those types of things, I was particularly gifted in these classes but when it came to maths and English I was quite a ways behind compared to the other students, as much as it bothered me I pushed through doing better and better at everything as each class went by, but at this rate I was always going to be stuck behind everyone, in week 3 we were set to start the practical forms of assessment, the main of which being the battle simulations, the way these work is that all of the new students would be split into groups of 20, and would be run by an older student who had made it through to the next stage of the system, under a normal round there would just be two teams of 20 fighting each other for a specific objective or to just eliminate the other team, then there were the smaller skirmishes, which split one team into two teams of 10 and had the two ‘best’ students one each one whilst the older ‘commander’ student looked on and gave advice to each team. Then there were the massive matches, where 3 teams of 20 fought another 3 teams of 20, it was almost like a small war, they would be the most hectic. The simulation worked a lot like reality, we were giving real replicas of military weapons with, hit scan lasers rather than bullets, and we entered a blank room with random assortments of objects scattered, we were then given a helmet which then projected the look of an area onto the room and gave us a full heads up display with useful bits of info in it, then there was the movement suits, which were indeed the only real thing to carry into the game, it allowed us to run on walls for a short period, boost of them, and gave us other little extras in terms of movement. Mastering the movement, would be the key to winning as an individual soldier.

Aevalin and The Age of Readventure
Below you can find the blurbs for each arc of Aevalin and The Age of Readventure. Aevalin: Klause Schuar the Grand Bastard (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #1) Klause Schuar, the Grand Bastard who destroyed the world in his pursuit of magical power, believed to be a only legend by some, is a horror of the distance past. Though seven-hundred years after the Age of Darkness, the world is birthing itself anew—the dark magicks have receded and the festering plague that extinguished entire kingdoms is no more. The roads have been opened and regular travel between nations is now possible. The newly formed guilds are active. Where monster hunting and dungeon diving are lucrative trades, long dead kingdoms are being rebuilt in this glorious age of rediscovery. This is the story of Arlian Brennovo, lord and commander of the City Watch during the last days before the Age of Darkness—before the Age of Readventure! * Glorious New Age (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #2) Yoreno Brendara, a relatively sheltered noble, has joined his father in the mythical kingdom of Aevalin with his mother and sister. His father has arranged for him to train under Dantera Brennovo, a descendant of the legendary Arlian Brennovo who fought in the Grand Bastard’s war against King Balthazar and his High Mage to save the world. Now Yoreno will become an adventurer, fighting alongside a successful lady in arms—and a rich one at that. It is a grand opportunity for Yoreno to become a knight of Aevalin and to participate in the glorious new Age or Readventure! * Knight of Aevalin (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #3) After being conferred with a knighthood, Yoreno plans to enjoy the Age of Readventure festival with his friends and mentor. During the festivities Yoreno witnesses a plot to assassinate king Branlin. Dantera Brennovo, top-tier adventurer, knight of Aevalin and lady of rank, is charged by the king to quietly uncover the plot. As her newly knighted protégé, Yoreno must assist Dantera in her efforts to keep the king and his new Age of Readventure alive. * Errant Adventurer (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #4) Having unexpectedly received Dantera’s lands and titles after her banishment, Yoreno places Yorinius in command of the Roaming Lions. Together with his friends, Yoreno and the members of the Emblazoned Party set out in search of Dantera as she pursues King Branlin’s assassin far outside of the safety found within the borders of Aevalin. * Kingdom of the Blue Dragon (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #5)Having survived capture and escape from the barbarous tribal stronghold in the hills, Yoreno and his friends set forth with Dantera to scout out the assassin clan responsible for King Branlin’s death. Weather they have the necessary strength to challenge the assassins, they do not know. Meanwhile Yoreno’s close proximity to Dantera continues to distract him from their quest at hand.

8 139Juvenile Gladiators
"I know that we've all come to terms with our... losses, our predicament. The things that I and your coming commanders have to engrave into your mind, heart, and soul with the blood of our friends on each of our hands, & longing to go back home and survive this godforsaken world. You have no choice but to fight, hold your weapon tight, and run across the hell of the battlefield... You're no longer students of the school we used to attend. Not anymore. Not till we get home. For now, you will call yourselves... ...Gladiators." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When young students of a prestigous private school found themselves stuck in a world beyond their wildest imagination, they fight for their lives to complete the mission given to them the moment they entered. "Earn the title of Grandmaster and forfeit your life to ascend into the heavens. Let your soul purify in whole as it scatters across the different dimensions of the universes' plane." Or... something along those lines. Thankfully, the only hope these 28 students could lean on to are the four least most expected people to start leading them as full fledged leaders. Why? As they said... "We've already finished getting the title of Grandmaster... It's a board game. We've been teleported to the land of Everoe, the heroes this world calls... Gladiators."
8 78The World Below
A place of myth and mystery, the Below is spoken of by few with any real consideration, and fewer with any true belief. After all, a realm filled with magic and monstrosities beyond imagining would be ridiculous, especially existing beneath one's very feet. Someone would have found it by now, through science, even if rumor dictated that it was able to "choose" who entered it. More wishful magic nonsense. ...Right? Note: This is a story on dungeon exploration, not a dungeon core/sentient dungeon!
8 98Sigil Weaver: An Old Man in An Apocalypse
A magical apocalypse? Monsters and mayhem? A war with aliens? Sorry, that's a no from Rory. Sadly, his happy retirement ends when he crashes his truck to save a kid. When he wakes up, he finds nearly everyone has evacuated his town, leaving him behind to figure out this new system that grants classes and skills through magical coins called Sigils. He's got a Legendary Sigil — it lets him turn anything in the world into a Sigil, at the cost of not being able to use them himself. That's fine. He's too old to fight anyway. Punching monsters makes his arthritis flare and dodging fireballs leaves him bedridden for days. Instead, Rory is going to gather the survivors and make sure they have the best Sigils possible. The apocalypse didn't end Rory's retirement, it just gave him a new line of business. Sigil Weaver is a LitRPG Apocalypse story, with a focus on slice-of-life elements and exploring magic. Updates daily! Come yell into the void on my discord Also got a patreon for up to 20 advanced chapters (well, 18 so far, but 20 soon!)
