《Dio, Rise to the top [working title]》The beginning
Advertisement
I pass the door and look around me 9 children of around 8 years old are looking at me with round eyes. They are all sitting around me in a half-circle.
"Good afternoon, everyone is present? Yes? Perfect!
So let's begin.
Today we'll talk about our world, it's a story that everyone in the village know, and today it's our turn to learn and maybe one of you will be on my seat like today to tell this story to the next generation.So...Let's start!
Humm...Our Creator, contrarily to the others story around the place isn't the Light God like they think, our Creator isn't even from this world it's logic when you know that He created this world, everything, and everyone on it or in it.
From an ancient text we know that our Creator is someone who had transcended the limit of limits of divinity.I don't know how to explain it without complicate words so let's just say he was more powerful than every gods here."
*a child rise his hand* "more powerful than the Light God?"
-"Yes, more powerful than each and every gods you can think of, no more interruption, i must finish to tell you this story quickly, I said looking the sun through the open window, so no more question until the end.
So our Creator was bored, and with nothing to do with his powers decided to try to create something. He began with little things, but little by little he began to enjoy what he was doing and increased the difficulty, creating things complicated and beautiful, or simply powerful. At first he was creating things from his his hometown, those are the artifacts powerful items that can be more powerful than our most powerful weapon or simply useful.

So after creating quite a number of artifacts he begun a greater project : Creating a world!"
I stop a second to look at the eyes sparkling of interest of the children.
'Ah this is good job me'
" He begun by creating the elements that he joined together to form the landscape, the oceans, the volcano and others. He finished the world after a long time but it was empty, this world looked like a wasteland with no life. He threw his artifacts in the world hoping some change, some destroyed the land changing the geography some created trees and forest.
After some time the world now had plant and trees everywhere, and looked like a paradise, but it wasn't what he was looking for, it lacked living beings, so he created animals from snakes to dragons, from birds to phoenix. He evoked magic in this world giving affinities to the animals, giving some abilities and giving them the power to evolve, creating monsters. He was happy, but not totally this world was lacking intelligent beings.
So created us, the origins, looking human but with the potential of becoming anything literally, he created a number of us and told us to increase the population and evolve.
The ancestors of this time were living in a paradise no monster was allowed to hunt them, they were able to go anywhere. In the time he was gone the ancestors discovered the gift the ability to become anything, you will learn of it later so i will not explain it, but because of this ability tension started to appear, people begun to evolve and so their mentalities.
They became beast-men for some, human, vampire, elf, dryads, elemental and others... but because of their transformation they started to change for some to hate each other, to kill each other, committing crimes without getting retribution, separating themselves into tribes that were making war.

When our Creator came back he went mad, seeing that his work was destroyed by the ancestors.
He linked our word to 2 others worlds that he created, a world of angels, called paradise and a world of demons called hell.One world was preaching goodness, virtues and order, the other sins and chaos.By the way this world is called Terra2, even if we don't know why.
He also unbind the monsters that were free to hunt the ancestors.
With the apparition of demons and angels the order was back.
But He was not happy, the order was back, but wars and monsters had decimated the population.The survivors needed strength to survive those disasters, he gave them The system, that helped them to unlock their potential while rewarding their efforts and achievements, the system that you will have to understand and use, later.
But with this power the strong were destroying the weak and the some population were going instinct, he destroyed the continent dividing it in a multitude of smaller islands, no being could go on the oceans, it was and it is.
Laws and Truths were another system He gave us there are laws that we cannot break or we will be punished by the gods that are looking at us, and there are Truths that me must find to be rewarded by those same gods,they are a residue of the power of our Creator.
The tribes were regrouped by race on the island, for example we, the origins, are alone on this island with the human.
By doing all of it our creator wanted a world that looked like what He had in mind, he put a cap on the system, the LEVEL 100, for that the strong may not stay on their island to terrorize the weak and to see again a place where a lot of different species could be seen together.
SO if you achieve LEVEL 100 you will ascend to the central island with each one of the other little island who had ascend like you.
After finishing the system, our Creator left, but it's said that on the central island there is a way to make him appear again."
Looking at the setting sun i knew i was late.
Let's end their first day in school here.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

For 1,000 years Earth has been cut off from the higher energies of the universes. We thought we knew how the world works. We believed that magic was superstition, that ancient legends were naught but the wild imaginings of more primitive, less educated minds. We. Were. Wrong. A messenger appears; our 1,000 year punishment for the crimes of our ancestors has passed. Once again we will have access to the energies of the ancient Elements, to the higher energy made of the combined Elements.
